Kirk, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location, little warm

Murphy's is a motel that serves its purpose. Rooms are small with a balcony that overlooks the bay and an RV park. The location is great with access to the docks and downtown area. Biggest issue for us was the warm summer and no A/C. Unfortunately the wind was blowing on our door side with no windows and leaving the balcony open did little to help with airflow. Service was responsive and helpful.
Deryk, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

There was dirty towels in the room, rubbish under the bed. We were checked into the wrong room and had to move after unpacking.

Murphy's Alaskan Inn was a pleasant surprise in the middle of Seward AK. A bit older property, but rooms are nice and clean, and everything works correctly. We had a good stay. Thank you.
Robin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The manager is so accommodating, cheerful, and kind, no matter the time of the day or night. She was the best part.
Jill, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Missed expectations

Lots of issues regarding the safety and condition of these rooms. The rooms had sliding glass doors with no screens to let in the air from outside. We were on the main level with access to a shared deck facing a busy street with many pedestrians. The water in one of the units only had hot water coming to both the hot and cold lines to the sink. The shower water would jump from hot to cold water unpredictably which wasn’t good for showering. The final straw was discovering an active hornets nest next to the only parking spot available. This is not a hotel, more a motel that is run down and needs updating for security and comfort.
Vanessa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely, lovely staff. Very over priced for what is a pretty threadbare property though
Rozina, 1-night trip

Property is old but clean.

10/10 Exceptional

Great Find!

We found the team employee who checked us in via phone was very helpful. We originally had a third floor room and we needed a second floor or first level room and the employee helped us with that request. The room was large and clean. I would highly recommend this hotel and the attached restaurant has very good food.

4/10 Fair

Misleading representation online

First the photos on the webpage are just part of the Motel, The reception area is scary as when we went there, some of the rooms doors where open with no one visible in the area as well are the reception, no one was there, we called and who ever answered could not provided information. That representative provided another phone number in which it was a disconnected phone number. The receptionist came later and at that time we were ready to take off to another place, but the other hotels were full, forcing us to stay in this Dump. I had stay on other places but this one did not sit well with me. The thing about it is if the owner or company that manage this Motel take care of this premises, it can have potential, but like any other company, if money is flowing why we should make it better. Overall I will forced my husband to pay more and stay in another place. Lesson on this one you get what you pay for and just remember Seward AK is not cheap.

There was past tenant hair in the restrooms and covering the linens. Staff was nice, but accomodations need to attention.

Sink water was very hot. There was no cold water to sink. Otherwise would certainly stay here next time visiting to Seward

Bed was not good at all. Floor dirty
Darsha, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not as advertised. Dark, no coffee pot, bunch of junk out the sliding glass door, which i couldn't go out, electric plug in bathroom didn't work, lights above bathroom sink didn't work. Price ridiculous for room!
Dolores, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

This was a mixed stay. The staff was friendly, but not particularly committed to customer service. They had a "student doing a summer job" kind of vibe. Some things were very good. The towels were really soft.The beds were quite comfortable.The toilet paper and tissues were top quality. But our room (107) needed maintenance. The bathroom exhaust fan didn't work, the toilet handle fell off when flushed, the towel rack by the sink was missing (the brackets are on the walll, but no bar), there is a significant gap under the door, and the plug for the clock by the bed turns off when the wall switch is toggled (so the clock turns off and resets to12:00 when turned back on). And there is a coffee maker in the lobby. It worked on Wednesday morning but not on Thursday.
