For a group of 12 (4 rooms), we tried this on a whim and price fit our budget. It’s definitely not luxury and you can tell they are working on improving the units BUT the bed and pillows were super comfy, the jetted tub was AMAZING, walkability was great, staff was amazing…. They were huge rooms and very clean. We loved it and when we go back to seaside, we will definitely stay again.
The staff was very friendly and our room felt very comfortable. Just a few minutes walk from the main shopping area and the beach.

Staff were phenomenal. I really enjoyed the tours. The little amenities made me feel at home. The room was very comfortable and enjoyable. The apple square was delicious.
We've stayed here twice and both times got the spa room and it was great! Good location to walk to all the shops at seaside. I also thought it was nice they offered movies, board games, and snacks at no extra charge.
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.
It was 1 block from the beach & 2 blocks from gelato, lunch or dinner.

Had a great bed. New floors and paint, room was clean. Air conditioner was weak and the Inn is older.

I was traveling the coast on a bicycle. The hotel staff helped me with my bike and were very kind. They had snacks and movies in the lobby and gave me a coupon for discounts in local restaurants. I did not have a dog with me, but they were super dog friendly which is great!!
