Tao, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The gal at the check in was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean with comfortable beds. They had a little coffee "nook" by the front desk since there was no coffee maker in rooms.
Judy, 1-night trip

Jason, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff was extremely accommodating, kind & wonderful. Marina Motel is a one story building - so no stair which is great for us older people. They have a small coffee station available stocked with Keurig coffee, hot cocoa, & tea. Diana took extra time to help us which we really appreciated.

Mixed, But I’d Come Back

I stayed here because it is just steps from the train depot. Check in was very friendly. Bed is Good. Room needs maintenance. Ni housekeeping during my four nights here. (That’s fine with me.) Best soup and hot dogs in town right across the street.
Thomas, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay

We had one of those days where if it could go wrong it did and Deanna at the Marina Motel saved the day. We called to confirm the reservation before we drove out there and after hearing about our day she not only confirmed the reservation, but when we got there she'd moved us into a bigger room. She went above and beyond to make the stay special for us and our kids.
Gregory, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly & Clean

We stayed a few night to explore the Kenai Peninsula before embarking on our cruise. The front desk staff was VERY friendly and helpful. The property is dated but was clean and meet our needs. Coffee, tea, and hot cocoa were available in the lobby as well as a microwave. The rooms have small refrigerators with freezers. We would definitely stay again!

Great to stay!
Chengwei, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Only reason be took a hotel, we just came out of a backpacking trip from Denali. So we were craving a hot shower. We got hot water for 15 sec and then it turned cold, then it got warm again for 15 seconds and so forth. The bathroom was so narrow you had to sit sideways on the toilet. The bathroom was very tired, the bedroom was better, at least it was spacy. It seemed clean, but usually a tired looking room also makes it look dirty.

Good basic hotel.
David, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Tough to assess. The property was close to where we needed to be. The folks working there were super nice and efficient. Room was a bit worn, but probably par for the course in Seward. Quick checkin and checkout. But this hotel was full of freakin' right-wing, Trump-lovin' white trash that felt obligated to party oitside their rooms until midnight. Not sure if i was in Alaska or Arkansas. But I cant hold the hotel responsible for their low IQ clientele.
Don, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Noisy parking lot , too hot in room and can’t adjust temperature, knob fell off tub faucet, tub and sink very slow to drain, shower head pointed to wall and not adjustable. Terrible accommodations and way too expensive!
Debbie, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The staff was friendly. Bed was pretty comfortable and linens seemed clean and fresh. However, i think my room had black mold on the ceiling and needed a deep clean. A rack and hangers for hanging clothes would have been nice. I appreciated the retro microwave and mini fridge.
Amber, 6-night trip

2/10 Poor

Steep three steps to get to my ‘ground’ room had a broken handrail (& a broken towel bar). The outside broken handrail base was held upright with rocks at the base. You can see the wood is rotten & they are trying to hide it. I almost fell twice going down the steep stairs. FIX IT!
