Murphy's Alaskan Inn — Hotel in Seward

This place desperately needs everything.||With the exception of the young lady who is the desk clerk and apparently maintenance person and otherwise jack of all trades, the place is close to terrible in every respect. The room is extremely small. The bathroom has a single tower rack And no place to hang anything in that room. That's no problem because there are only two towels, and no bathmat provided.||The room smells like wet dog hair so whether they allow dogs or not they do not properly clean afterwards.||there was one hand towel which you need to use as a bathmat if you choose to have a bathmat. There is no handicapped assist grab bar anywhere in the bathroom as well.||there are virtually no electrical plugs available; One plug by the bed, good luck if you want to plug-in a CPAP or charging utilities.||No plastic cups for water, no hairdryer.||The building is extremely old and lack of maintenance shows. The parking lot is uninviting and overgrown with weeds.||There is an extremely small television, it is viewable . There is a small refrigerator and microwave , a desk and a single chair. |There is no closet, in fact there was a coat rack with five or six hooks. There are two dresser drawers and virtually no room to put anything else.||From what I could tell the room was not entirely clean. There were crackers underneath the desk. There is no daily cleaning whatsoever. Fresh towels need to be specifically requested.|The heat did not work and since this is Alaska that is a pretty big deal but they did provide and electric Pelonis heater.||There is a...

Dated and in need of some repair, but clean. ||||Pros: fast hot water…. Showers were good. Beds were pretty comfortable with memory foam mattress toppers. Semi-stocked kitchenette was convenient for early breakfasts and snacks. New Smart TV. Smelled very clean when we arrived.||Cons: WiFi was very slow. The fridge in our kitchenette- the freezer acted as a fridge and the fridge didn’t keep things cold (yes, we checked the temperature dials in both). There was a thermostat on the wall, but it didn’t appear to be connected to anything. The room got stuffy during the day and because there was no fan or AC we had to open the windows- which was fine- but there wasn’t a screen and it made for noisy (and sunny) evenings which made it hard to sleep while adjusting to the time difference. Pillows were underwhelming. ||||Pretty sure this room (106) wasn’t originally built to be a hotel room- top half of the door is glass (with a window shade that doesn’t completely cover the glass) It’s a little cramped: no room for a small table and nowhere else to sit but the beds. Little things like a visible missing outlet cover, missing knob off drawers, a previously installed tv mount still on the wall but not in use, and a smashed lamp shade cover made it feel run-down. ||||I’d stay here again if I HAD to, but I’d look...
