Don't be fooled by the remodeled building exterior if you choose a "standard" (older) room. All I wanted was a basic, clean room while in town for the Polar Bear Plunge. They offered me a non-smoking room even with my dog, so I thought it would be an OK place. Not so! Wood paneling on one wall, drop-ceiling, carpet that... more

My husband and i stayed there for 1 night. It felt like we were in a room from the 70's. They had not done anything since they bought the place to upgrade the room we were in. Very dissapointing.

The Marina Motel is a small, very basic motel. We stayed two nights. We found the curtains to be reasonable for blackout, and we left the windows open behind the curtains so the rooms were comfortable at night.

Good cable TV, small refrigerator, and good blackout drapes, and the room was clean. However, the furnishings are somewhat tired and the bathroom is... more

We stayed for one night at the Marina Motel in Seward. The motel is located within a short walking distance from the harbor. The rooms are fairly standard - two double beds, bathroom, TV, etc. - but the key benefit of staying here in the summer is the lined, almost blackout drapes at the windows! The decor is a little... more

Since we were just needing a place to sleep and clean up before catching our overnight cruise the next morning, I looked for the best value with close proximity to the small boat harbor at Seward. What we got was an almost new atmosphere, an above average room, and an onsight "tour guide" who told us the best local place... more
