My boyfriend and I stayed here for Labor Day weekend. The hotel looks nice from outside, but it is very run down. Although it's not dirty, it needs attention. For one thing, we felt like the stairs we had to walk up to get to the 3rd floor where our room was were going to fall through any second. The... more

Do not ever spend your hard earned money on a dump like this. My sister and I were delivered a classic bait and switch. We have planned a little 2day getaway ever year to Seaside for the past 6 years now and we like to try a different place every year. This was, by far the worst experience we've ever... more

Also the cleaning gave us towels twice, once on arrival, and once the next day. so, we had to... more

My family had been coming to the 'Glow for over 20 years, since I was a small child. The past 2 years our stay was a bit hassled... more
