Seaside Inn

The Seaside Inn location felt like a blast from the past, where one can comfortably rest themselves, and feel good about the experience. The location is fantastic, so much to do within walking distance. The hotel staff was very pleasant, although dated and older, the place was very well maintained and clean. I would definitely revisit this location, and hoping to do so someday in the future.

Clean rooms and helpful friendly staff

Honestly, the beach access is about the only thing this place has going for it. The room was not in great condition. Peeling paint, rusted furniture, and even parts of the stairs were loose, so you actually had to be careful walking on them. For what they charge to stay here, I was shocked at how run down everything felt. The balcony situation really irritated me. We paid a lot for a room with a private balcony, but there is nothing actually separating your balcony from everyone else. People literally came onto OUR balcony, sat in the chairs that came with our room, and smoked. There is even a sign saying it's a private balcony for the room, which they completely ignored. And the balcony is already super small to begin with. I shouldn't have to go out there and ask strangers to get out of the chairs on the private balcony I paid for. The cleaning was also questionable. After housekeeping came, there was somehow sand all over our floor AND on our bed. How does the room get sandier after it's cleaned? It is also LOUD. There was a concert next door until around 10pm. I know the hotel can't control a concert happening next door, but if you're coming here wanting a quiet, relaxing beach trip, this probably isn't the place. And don't count on the blackout curtains helping much either. They technically have them, but there is a bright porch light right outside the room and the curtains did basically nothing to block it out. So even once the noise stopped, we still had light coming into the room. I'd heard good things about the staff, but that wasn't really our experience at check-in. The front desk just seemed impatient and not very welcoming. Then there is the parking. It's awful. The spaces are incredibly tight, or you have to park across the street. If there aren't any spaces available there either, you're stuck paying for street parking. And the price?? Absolutely not. The rooms are small, there aren't many amenities, and the condition of the property does not match what they're charging. I will say I was happy to see a Keurig in the room, and I was able to grab the supplies I needed from the check-in office. We did love being able to walk right out to the beach. That part was extremely convenient. But for us, it wasn't enough to make everything else worth it. For the amount of money we paid, I expected WAY better.
