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It’s really tired and out of date.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 staff was warm and welcoming. We will return again as we visit our granddaughter at UNE, However we live in NH and have decided to visit this entire region more often.

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

Pros:

I loved how the the inn was right on the water. It was so nice to be able to sit in the hottub at night and hear the ocean waves. The beds were SO COMFORTABLE! I wish I had more time to ride one of the on-site bikes, definitely next time! Having a little breakfast was very convenient as well!
