Great stay

Our room was dated (furnishing wise) but was very clean with a comfy bed. It had a very small balcony that overlooked the water and mountains which was perfect for watching and photographing sunset! No breakfast but coffee and tea are always available in the front office.

Great view compared to a lot of other places. I like how cozy the room is, I wished we had a coffee machine in each room, but overall it’s the perfect location to everything including the cruise line, railroad and bus

The hotel was very charming. Maybe not as fancy as a Hilton or Marriott but perfect for our stay in Seward. The staff was extremely accommodating and helpful.

This is not Murphy's issue. The free shuttle went by us and it didn't stop. We got a taxi then to go to eat

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.

Old carpet with duct tape at seam. Shower curtain missing hooks. Wall half painted in gloss and half flat. Kind of a creepy place.

The front desk was fantastic and super helpful. The room itself was fine a bit run down and could use some updates. It was warm the days we were there about 70 and like most places in Alaska there is no air conditioning. We were able to open balcony door and room door for a great cross breeze that made the room comfortable. Beautiful view and within walking distance to both downtown and the harbor.

The downside is the place needs updating. There wasn't a phone. The shower lining was missing. It was quite expensive for what it is. The good points are the staff was very friendly and I'd say we were lucky to even find a place considering it's fishing season.

Potential for Homey and Cute

Carpet was held down with duct tape and packing tape, tub/shower had mildew in the walls and around the tub, tub was very slow to drain, carpet was dirty, box springs should have been covered with a sheet, door mats were old, planters were empty, had to get an extension cord to plug in one of the lamps, one lamp did now work, outdoor chairs were dirty and view of the ocean was blocked by overgrown bushes. So much potential with some deep cleaning, paint, floor covering replacement

If you’re looking to stay in a small, musty motel room that hasn’t been updated since the 1980s, this is the place for you. But aside from that, it’s ridiculously expensive too. I realize that summer in Alaska is prime season for surge pricing but $350/night is unfortunate
