Overall we had a wonderful experience at the See Sea! If I had to be nitpicky, the bed wasn’t the most comfortable mattress and my only other criticism is that parking isn’t the most ideal - the lot was quite narrow so maneuvering our truck around made us a little anxious. But, again, overall we had a great time and experience. The room was very clean and had everything we needed for our little getaway - it was close to the public beach access and to restaurants and other activities.

Nice. Very tight parking. My only complaint is the pool is locked up before dark. So don't think you'll spend the day at the beach and the evening in the pool.

I was very impressed with the interior of the room. It was extra-clean, and smartly decorated. A real joy to be in. The exterior was not so fastidious - the area around the drink machine was a mess, with several garbage bags piled up. But the price was great, the motel is across from a beach access point, and it was just a short walk. Plus, there is great food within walking distance. I would be happy to return.

My bed had a brown stain on it and the sheets felt damp. The bathroom sink had some kind of marks on it that seemed like they were not cleaned. However, the room was fine for a one night stay. The parking lot is definitely very tight.

While trying to clean up some water off the floor in the kitchen, we found the floor to be really dirty. We left the towel that we used on a chair. Everything else was great. Really comfortable bed.
