Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room average for a midrange inn, fireplace didn’t work, venue showing its age, limited parking, no extra amenities, breakfast, fruit, rolls not offered. Outdoor lighting poor in the back. Can hear plumbing noice from the room. Location to beach great. Not worth $350/night at offseason rates. If you are visiting Seaside do your homework and read reviews.
