Good downtown location on river
Pros:

The hotel is in a good location; nice view of the river to watch the waterfowl; staff was very friendly and helpful. Cookies and juice in the afternoon and clam chowder later were a nice touch. The breakfast was good and substantial; we especially loved the biscuits.
A big downside is the lack of towel bars. We are fine reusing our towels but need a place to let them dry. One hook on the back of the door is not sufficient for more than 1 person. It would also be nice to supply more washcloths at the start as housekeeping does not come to replace them daily.
The other issue we had was lack of any light to operate the coffee machine. I had to use my flashlight in order to see the fill line for the water.

You’re a great back up to our WorldMark timeshare which was full this year.
Pros:

Generous room size. Great staff. Especially Amadeus who made a timely repair for us. Excellent chowder served upon check-in Fresh baked cookies every afternoon. The lemon were Amazing!

Cons:

Always confirm the type of room you requested before unloading. We were tired and happy to be checking in…how we missed our fireplace is scary…but we moved down the hall. The first room had a nice wet bar by the fridge and microwave, perfect for our in room breakfast. We could never be up and out to enjoy theirs which was included.
Perhaps offering to serve till 10am for seniors who like to sleep in.
Seaside is a vacation destination after all. Not really for business.

A wonderful experience at The Kathryn Riverfront Inn.
Pros:

We had an amazing stay here. we stayed for for three nights at a very reasonable cost. The Hotel was right on the river and was so calm and quiet.
They have a beautiful sitting area with a fireplace, books and magazines.
The Hotel staff at the front desk were very friendly and and they know the meaning of Hospitality. They always greeted us as we left and welcomed us when we came back.
They offer coffee in the lobby 24hrs a day they offer infused water in the lobby and a bowl of Chowder at night and cookies too!
The rooms were clean, quiet and comfortable.
The breakfast was great and offered many options, the hostess and cook were so kind and we were sure to thank them every morning.
We will definitely be back to this great, welcoming hotel.

Not great! I couldn't sleep because the bed was terrible, with hair and sweat in the pillowcases.
Pros:

The breakfast was at best, mediocre on a dirty diner with very dirty windows. They use dark wood, dark tile, dark everything to hide how dirty the place really is.

Cons:

I like like the Blue heron piece of art on the lobby wall. The place needs some serious deep cleaning. Either invest on a real good breakfast options or get rid of it all together? There is so much better options nearby.

Great staff
Pros:

The staff could not have been more helpful, responsive, welcoming, or friendly. They gave me an early check-in, late checkout, a quieter room, and else I asked for. The riverfront rooms are very pleasant.

Great place to stay
Pros:

I highly recommend giving this lovely inn a try! Everything about our stay was wonderful. The front desk staff was fantastic—friendly, welcoming and available 24/7, which made everything so convenient. One of my favorite touches was the complimentary salmon chowder—absolutely delicious! My room was beautiful, spacious and cozy with a view that truly can’t be beat. The location is also perfect, with adorable shops, great restaurants and even a fun candy shop (best chocolate ever)all within walking distance. Housekeeping did an excellent job and the overall service throughout my stay was top-notch. This place really has it all—comfort, charm and outstanding hospitality. I would definitely stay here again!

The process to book online needs made more clear and the info and details given need to be correct. Bcuz I read the wor
Pros:

Same as the best western. Place was nice. The hotels and staff at both were exceptional and helpful and went above and beyond due to the third party booking service messing it all up.

Cons:

I will never use third party booking services ever again. I will go directly to the hotel. I don’t care about the “discounts”. Smh. My trip this weekend ended up costing me triple wat my budget was smh. Pissed.
