Staff was wonderful! The room was decent….carpet was dirty, room smelled very musty, water only came out of about 12 holes in the shower head, bed squeaked every time you moved, pillows very lumpy, tv remote didn’t work (staff fixed next day)…tight parking mostly suitable for average cars (we drive a lifted truck)! Pros are it’s centrally located to most anything, the pool was nice and very close to the beach! Housekeeping brought towels everyday and made bed!

The only complaint I have about Seaside Motel was the small and outdated flat screen TV in the room. The motel was renovated several years ago, and the the rooms, grounds and pool area are very well maintained. The entire staff was very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again!

Worst smell ever witnessed and the so called bathroom! , AWFUL. Look i read so many 9 plus reviews for beach isle place and to have to spend a night here sickens me. Go ahead, stay here, at best you will learn not to trust expedia reviews again like me. Otherwise, knock yourself out.
