Seabonay Stay

Stay was okay. Liked how close it was to the beach, shops, and boardwalk. However, when arrived could not find front desk easily and directions were not clear. Went into room and found piles of sand in one of the windows, and curtains had ink/paint stains. Also, half of the outlets did not work in the room. Ventilation in bathroom was very poor. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

The room needs renovation! Very run down! It has potential if they put some time and money to fix it up. The lock on the door was very flimsy. Didn’t feel safe. Anybody could have broke through the door! Average cleanliness. Wouldn’t stay again unless it is was updated.

Great location. Easy parking. AC worked great in the room, but everything was damp. No remote for the TV. Towels are incredibly thin and sparse. Housekeeping tried to enter our room after we told them we didn't need anything and left 3 hand towels and a washcloth outside, which was odd and we didn't ask for them.

Damp and smelly

Room 105 had a horrible DAMP MOLDY smell. Room was so damp the floor was wet the chair seat was damp the covers were damp and within the first day all of my clothes were damp. Tried turning the bathroom fan on thinking that would help but it didn’t work either. The smell was so bad when I was in n the room I left the door wide open as much as I could.

Good enough

Pros: - Location. It's right at the end of the boardwalk so practically beach front. - Parking included, plenty, and felt safe. - We didn't use the pool but it looked nice - Didn't seem like there were bedbugs. We didn't look thoroughly and I never put my stuff on soft surfaces but I don't have any bites. Cons: - We booked an "oceanfront" room, but it wasn't worth it because our windows were tiny and it's a motel so we didn't have a private balcony to open a door to. Not a big deal, just something to consider. - Poor ventilation and the room was so musty and mildewy. The carpet was always damp and dirty. When I first went to place the bath mat down, it was already soaking wet, prob from a leak in the ceiling because it had just stormed. The bottom of the bathroom door was so damaged from moisture it looked like frayed cardboard. Dampness was so bad, while we went out for the day, I cranked the heat to 90 until we came back 12 hours later to dry out the room and that helped a little bit. - Shower pressure was not great and drain was slow All in all, we just needed a room to sleep and keep our things because my family had a nice condo a few blocks away so we showered and spent most of our time their or out doing stuff. The bed was comfortable enough, although made very poorly and had bits of some type of bugs' legs on it (spider cricket?). There was dried gum, holes, and rips in the sheets. Good enough place to stay but should be cheaper.

First of all, the property wasn’t as bad as some people were saying. The views were spectacular and room and bathroom was clean. There was a slight musty smell but it wasn’t that bad, I turned of the air for a few hours and it didn’t seem to be bad after I turned it on.

Don’t stay here.

Location was great, but that’s about it. Our room smelled of mildew and the carpets were wet and remanded wet our entire stay. There was also mold on the walls. The room looked like it had never been deep cleaned especially the flooring as well as having cracked bathroom tiles. The outlets were hanging outside the wall.

Rooms were dirty, and room service was awful. Only perk was that it was close to the beach and main attractions. But we will not be staying here again. There was weird odors in the staircases/hallways and the rooms carpet was mildewy. Definitely needs some upgrades like a lot of motels and hotels in OC. It’s honestly very sad that most places in OC want to charge so much money and the rooms/facility is mid and dirty.

The blind was falling down and there was food still in the room on the floor. The listing said that there was a balcony for the room but the balcony was actually a community balcony with some chairs placed on it. Also, having no elevator was a tad inconvenient for being on the 3rd floor.
