Very happy with the inn and would highly recommend to family and friends
Pros:

The Breakfast was perfect the cleanliness of the rooms was supreme and having coffee/tea etc until 8:30 at night was great and the beach close

Cons:

The breakfast restaurant was too hot to eat breakfast in a few tables outside on the left side facing the inn would be great to eat your breakfast at and maybe beach chairs that were a little higher to sit in

Its best years are behind it. Stay elsewhere.
Pros:

Its location near the beach is great. The desk staff were welcoming and helpful.

Cons:

It’s really tired and out of date. We’d definitely stay elsewhere next time. Our only really disappointing hotel on a 3 week US road trip.

Pros:

The Seaside Inn is right by a beautiful, sandy beach. The breakfast was just OK, but the muffins were fantastic. The coffee was really good. The room was very comfortable and had a nice view of the courtyard. The staff was very nice and extremely helpful when I accidentally left my electric toothbrush behind. I was able to pick it up the next day when I passed by again on my way to Boston
