The beds were very comfortable. The staff was very friendly. We looked how they had roku, so we could log in to Netflix for the kids while we were taking breaks between exploring and meals. We enjoyed our stay.

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.

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.

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.
