We stayed here for 5 nights. We had a great stay. I had narrowed my hotel choices down to 3 (Song of the Seas and Westwinds being the other 2). I rode my bike thru the other 2 just to confirm we made the right choice-and we did. The breakfast basket they bring each evening is nice. They could change... more

Wow! We have just returned from a great vacation at the Seaside Inn. The staff at the Seaside Inn were very personable and friendly. The room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the pool and the short walk to the ocean. The staff were eager to help guide you around the island and help point out good places... more

We stayed 7/19-22 with young kids. Super friendly. Neat and Clean. Feel is 60's motel with cottage/modern update in last few years. Great location right on the beach. It doesnt matter what room you are in. Breakfast basket was great. We had brought some food, but the bagels, creamcheese, extra water, fruit and cookies were an added benefit. We used... more

Seaside Inn is a nice little motel on the water. Note the word little: we had a beachfront unit, 2nd floor. The room was ok, typical motel-ish type: small bath, 2 queen beds, small . The pool was also very small, and saltwater (if that makes a difference to you). Our main problem with the layout of the motel and... more

We read the reviews on Trip Advisor before booking and we really had a good time. We spent a bit of time in our room - at least 50%. It's smalll - 2 queen sized beds fill what could otherwise be a suite. The only problem was the drains were slow in the bathroom & when we told the front... more

We originally had reservations at the Sunset Beach Resort but because they overbooked we were put here instead. They did not call us until we were on our way down the road to inform us - that is how it started. The place when we arrived was much older than I had hoped for but we decided to try it... more

The location of the Seaside Inn is great on Sanibel Island. However, our room was not the best... I had requested a second floor room, but we were put in a first floor nearest the street. I was a bit upset about this, then, we were not told it was a handicapped room. The shower leaked into the bath area... more

My husband and I just came back from Sanibel Island. We stayed four nights from June 17 to June 21 for our anniversary at the Seaside Inn. We had perfect weather except for two thunderstorms on two nights. The Gulf of Mexico was beautiful to swim in. We loved the calm water and the temperature. Our first day we immediately... more

Traveled to Sanibel expecting a first class resort based on described amenities and rate. Other than a nice beach the accommodations were mediocre and service was poor. The continental breakfast consisted of frozen, pre-packed muffins from the grocery store and bananas. We were asked to change rooms mid-stay and move our own luggage with no assistance from staff. As the... more
