The Marina Motel is a lower cost, affordable option in Seward. It is not a fancy facility, but is clean, adequate, and well maintained. The location is perfect and very good, just outside the boat harbor and a short walk to the Seward Harbor area and small boat harbor. It is also close to Exit Glacier, dog sledding, the aquatic center, and many restaurants and tour companies. The staff is very welcoming, friendly, helpful, lovely, and accommodating. The motel has a quaint 24 hour coffee room adjacent to the check-in lobby, and rooms include a refrigerator and coffee pot. Some rooms offer a river view and blackout curtains. It is a minimalist facility with no exercise room or guest laundry. Experiences can vary, with some stays noting issues like a small, cold room, bad odor, or maintenance problems, while many others enjoy the value and would stay again in a heartbeat. It remains a grateful, affordable choice for many, especially during the winter season when other places are closed.
Great service, Diana at the front desk was super helpful! Convenient location to the train depot and harbor.

Good experience just for the location. Rooms are just basic since its a motel.breakfast is not included. Cost was 4 times than the room was actually worth only because of the location and summer time. Chose this as Seward has absolutely very limited options.
