Murphy's Inn was a pleasant surprise in Seward Alaska. Our room had a beautiful view of Resurrection Bay and the the Mountains beyond. The room was very clean and comfortable. The staff was excellent. They assisted us on the sites to see in Seward and the transportation to the Sea Life Center and Exit Glacier National Park. It is a... More

Recently stayed at Murphy's for 3 nights prior to getting on a cruise ship. At first sight you may be discouraged: the exterior looks well-weathered. What should I expect considering Alaska weather? Inside, the room was exceptionally clean, spacious, everything worked, and the bed was comfortable. Coffee in the room. The included "breakfast" was really just a snack -- breads... More

The staff were very friendly and helpful. We found the location very convenient for getting to the harbour for our wildlife/glacier cruise. We stayed in one of the top floor rooms with an outlook towards the harbour and distant mountains, very picturesque. The room was clean and comfortable. The complimentary breakfast was reasonable and I learned how to use a... More

Murphy's was a nice place to stay, it was nicer than a lot of motel's I have stayed in and they had a decent breakfast (bagels, packaged danish, yogurt, coffee, juice). The room was clean and the sheets were fresh. I ended up with a smoking room since non-smoking wasn't available and it did not smell like smoke at all.... More

WHATS GOOD: clean, convenient location waterfront just across road, restaurants and tour departures very close. 15-20  minute walk to town WHAT'S BAD:  if on the bottom floor of the 2 story building, bring ear plugs, folks above us sounded like they we're coming through the ceiling, when they ran water could hear it clearly in our room, and I'm not...

Clean room and bed, and fantastic views from our room on the ground floor. Staff was good and helpful with the local sightings, and they help with your booking if needed. Breakfast consisted of bread/bagel, some pastries, coffee. We had taken some instant oats with us, so that was neat for us. Harbor is couple of blocks by walk, and... More

This is a nice motel in Seward though little pricey (so is pretty much all places in Seward). The staff was friendly and let me park my car even after I checked out (and went on a day long boat tour). The hotel was very clean and neat though a bit small. The room looked much nicer inside than from... More

The room was clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. They gave us a sack breakfast because we were leaving early for a fishing trip. The views were amazing: water in one direction and mountains in the other. The biggest hit for us was the rooftop patio and grill. It was a nice place to sit and visit... More

The hotel was very clean and the staff was great. Not exactly what I thought it would be as far as the view. But the hotel was very clean and they included breakfast. They also provided a playpen for my daughter (2) to sleep in which was great.
