    double beds
    great location

    Good enough to suit our needs.

    We got a room with two double beds, mini fridge, and a microwave. The size was decent and it was mostly clean. Location was great, just minutes from the ocean and surrounded by shops and restaurants. Check-in was a bit slow but that's okay. Overall, it met our needs for a place to sleep after a day out.

    clean room
    outdoor relaxation
    shower water temperature

    The room was spotless and looked freshly painted. We enjoyed having a refrigerator for drinks. There were nice spots to relax by the pool and a lovely outdoor area to unwind. Only downside was the shower water wasn't as hot as we hoped, but overall, a solid place to stay! 😊

    helpful staff
    cozy room

    Couples looking for a deal should consider this

    The free coffee and pastries in the morning were a game changer for us during our stay. The staff was super helpful, giving us the best local tips, which made our exploration much easier.

    It wasn't exactly a bargain, but the value was still reasonable for the area.

    Would recommend for a passing visit

    Comfortable room, convenient location with free muffins and coffee in the morning and a small fridge and microwave to enhance our stay while also providing decent TV reception.

    Not one thing.

    great beach access

    Adequate Stay with Room for Improvement

    I spent two nights in a King Room, but the strong smoke smell lingered despite it being non-smoking. Cockroaches startled me when I heated food. On the upside, the staff was responsive and the beach was just a short walk away. Consider picking up snacks before arriving.

    clean linens
    quiet environment
    ample parking
    run down

    I appreciated the clean linens and the relatively quiet environment, which made for a decent night's rest. The ample parking space provided convenience, especially during peak times.

    The exterior of the building appeared run down, with crickets chirping in the room throughout the night—couldn’t pinpoint where they got in from. That odd smell from the blankets and pillows lingered too long for my comfort. No coffee in the morning as promised and the vending machine was mostly out of stock, including water. left me scrambling for my caffeine fix.

    great location but needs some updates

    The accessibility to nearby attractions made my stay enjoyable. The room offered a clean, bright area with a comfortable queen bed.

    Some areas of the hotel felt dated.

    I recently stayed at a motel in seaside and it really exceeded my expectations. The room was clean and had useful amenities like a microwave and mini fridge. Its proximity to shops and the beach made it a great base for exploring the area.

    the breakfast options were quite limited.
