The Marina Motel scores on its address, because it publishes almost nothing else. It sits at the harbor end of Seward, about 0.6 road miles from the terminal by our estimate — as close as Harbor 360.
Everything else we know comes from alaska.org, a third party: microwaves and fridges in the rooms, one room with a jetted tub, dogs in some rooms and a March to October season. None of that scored.
The motel's own site lists a phone number and an address, and that's the whole page.
Call 907-224-5518 with your list of times, parking and pets before you put a card down.
Book it if
- Budget travelers who want to stroll the harbor
- Anyone who'd rather call than click
Look elsewhere if
- You want breakfast, parking and times in writing.
