Older property but had all we needed plus free snacks, games, and movies. The front desk staff were super friendly. Room was bigger than expected but bathroom was a little small. Beds were comfortable enough and the ac worked great. Easy walking distance to beach and shops!

The hide-a-bed was so uncomfortable and in need of repair that it was only usable for sleep as a couch. There were multiple holes in the drywall where it appears as they needed to repair something within, but the drywall was not replaced (just left as an open cavity). Every step we took caused the floors to creak loudly causing neighbors to request less movement despite us walking normally (we also have older children that weren't running around, simply walking). When the DVD player was not working in our room we were handed a new one in the box to hopk up ourselves. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Free popcorn and snacks were very nice and there were DVD's and board games in the office for use within the rooms at no cost. The kitchenette was well stocked with dishes and pots and pans, but one refrigerator didnt work at all, hense why there was a second in the room, with the inoperable one still in place. All in all the trip was was and relaxing, but for pver 1000 bucks for 3 nights, i would hope for more comfort and an upkept structure.

Perfect spot

One block from a beautiful beach- perfect location. The owner Ruth stayed up for our late check in and made sure we were welcomed and comfortable. Basic hotel room and amenities- just what you need because you will be spending your time in the cute town and great beaches- but 100% great service and location. Would absolutely stay here again!

Not a do over

It was available when most all other options were full for a last minute night away. The place is family owned which I can appreciate, but it is more of a “motel” than a “hotel.” The bed was comfortable and we slept well, but the room was not clean. I couldn’t sit on the chair in the room because it was stained so badly. I did a wet wipe of the floor to see how dirty it was and it was very dirty. I think the rooms are spot cleaned but haven’t been deep cleaned in some time. I am not sure why the reviews are so high - probably a lot of family members and friends that support them remaining open.

Great stay in Seaside!

Overnight stay with my son and a new pet. Place was close to beach, downtown, everything we wanted to do in Seaside. Great accommodation for my dog, provided a bowl and doggy bags for cleanup. The spa tub in our room was amazing. Very comforting after a long walk on the beach. Outside needs work, but the rooms were clean, the beds comfy,parking was good. Provided discounts to some of the local restaurants.

Excellent location

The hotel was a great fit for our needs. It’s in a fantastic location, close to both downtown and the beach. While the room was a bit dated, the bed was comfortable, and we didn’t spend much time inside anyway. The small kitchenette was a convenient bonus, and Ruth was incredibly friendly and accommodating.
