We had a pleasant stay! We love Seaside!
Pros:

Good breakfast. Friendly staff! Nice place. Love that all the shops and restaurants and beach were in a walking distance of the hotel.

Cons:

We wanted the room to be bigger for the price. Beds could be softer with a thicker blanket.

Overpriced
Pros:

Staff

Cons:

The price was ridiculous for this hotel. We had a view of a parking lot , noise from a bar. The bath countertop was broken. The windows were not clear. The room was unremarkable and the beds were not the beds I would expect in a room that's $400 per night with tax. They were hard.

Pleasant stay in a well located family hotel.
Pros:

Clean, really nice property. Looked to be fun for young families. Everything was clean and comfortable and staff were wonderfully polite. Good location.

Cons:

It was expensive, but it was high season, booked at the last minute and with a big volleyball tournament in town. Still better value than others.

After 20 years, it still feels like home!
Pros:

Clayton welcomed us so warmly when we first arrived, immediately making us feel valued and at home. Our room was still being cleaned, so we stepped away for a little while. When we returned, another wonderful staff member, Kim—who also mentioned that she goes by April—assisted us. She was extremely kind, welcoming, and helpful. The warmth shown by both Clayton and Kim/April was the perfect beginning to another wonderful stay at the hotel our family has loved for nearly two decades.

Visiting Seaside at least twice a year—during the summer and sometimes at Christmas—has become a treasured family tradition. We have stayed at this same hotel for almost twenty years, and returning truly feels like coming to our second home. Our boys grew up staying here, and they never want to stay anywhere else when we visit Seaside. This hotel is part of their childhood memories and our family story.

The next day, we were overjoyed to see Jeremy. As always, he greeted us with his big heart, a warm hug, and genuine happiness. His kindness means so much to our family. It was also wonderful to see Colleen, who helps take care of breakfast. She was so happy to see us, and we truly enjoyed talking and catching up with everyone.

Marbel, our wonderful housekeeper, does an amazing job. Her care, hard work, and attention to detail help make every stay comfortable and special. We are also deeply grateful to all the other staff members whose names we may not know but whose familiar faces we recognize. Everyone always seems genuinely happy to see our family, and that feeling is priceless.

Even when staff members change over the years, the hotel’s loyalty, warmth, and excellent service remain the same. The staff know us so well that they even call our favorite room “Martha’s room” and usually make sure we can stay there. Although it was already taken during this visit, they still thoughtfully gave us another very good room, and we truly appreciated their care.

Cons:

We have reviewed this hotel for nearly two decades, and our rating has always remained the same: 10/10. We have never been disappointed. Thank you, Clayton, Kim/April, Jeremy, Colleen, Marbel, and the entire staff for your love, respect, kindness, and loyalty throughout all these years. You have helped turn a hotel into a home and ordinary visits into beautiful family memories. We are deeply grateful and look forward to returning again and again.We love everything about this hotel, everything! We have been staying here for the last two decades. Yes, we witness change of staff and administration, but it remain to be the best and staff always great people.

Great price, everything clean, fun pool and amenities, friendly staff, best place to stay in seaside
Pros:

Breakfast was delicious! Location is great cause it’s super convenient and close to everything while also being a great price and not ridiculously priced 😀 clean, friendly staff, fun pool, awesome bonus play structure outside for the kids, and the awesome fire pits! The only bad thing is how slow the elevator is, but it’s not really that bad. It would just prob be nice for people if it could be updated at some point to be a liiiiiiittle faster. This was our second time staying here, and we absolutely will stay here EVERY TIME we stay in seaside!

Cons:

Nothing
