I really wanted to like this place. Cheap rates, great view, that's it for the good. The bad: Very old, original run down furnishings, and that's just a start. There is an apartment building with very questionable people coming and going at all hours in the parking lot. The manager is nice enough. My neighbors were banging and constantly running... More

We called in our reservation a few days before our trip. I too was reluctant, looking at the mixed reviews. The front office smelled of dog, but the lady checking me in was very nice. We got our key and went to our room. The first thing I noticed was the smoke alarm on the bed with the battery missing.... More

My family and I traveled to Seaside, OR to meet some extended family for a short beach weekend getaway! The family we met there made the arrangements, and after hearing the name of the hotel, I immediately went to TripAdvisor and searched for information. What I came up with was relatively discouraging, however I held out hope that perhaps in... More

I have to admit, I was kind of reluctant making reservations after reading a few of the reviews. But our trip was decided the week before we left, and I was hard pressed finding a reasonably priced room, let alone a smoking room. I was told no pets allowed (great for me because I don't care for the smell of... More

Pros: *They allow one-night reservations even on a Saturday night in August. The vast majority of the other hotels/motels I looked at had a two-night minimum. *The location was perfect! Right on the Prom. *Great view *Microwave, fridge in room. (However, our fridge wasn't working - see Cons) *Much cheaper than the surrounding hotels/motels *When they gave my friend a... More

This motel has an excellent location in Seaside. The unobstructed views on the beach and ocean are terrific. I appreciated that they would allow a one night reservation on a weekend unlike many that require 2-3 in summer..... but the magic stops there. We stayed here about 15 years ago. It was getting run down then but I like the... More

This motel is right on the Prom in Seaside, and all the rooms face the beach. The view is wonderful and the people watching is terrific. But the hotel itself is quite awful. We had a ground floor room with a queen bed that was as hard as a rock. Not only that, but the mattress pad was coarse and... More

We came out last minute for a wedding and I didnt want to have to pay and arm and leg for a single night stay. So after ALOT of research we decided to reserve with them. The price was very reasonable and I was very satisfied with the office staff. I was coming from California and I knew I would... More

We stay here on our way to Lincoln City each year as well as on the journey home. Yes, it is totally outdated so be prepared for that BUT it is the best location for the price in Seaside and it is clean. We sit at our window and watch the sunset...how great is that! We are always welcomed and... More

For an inexpensive, no frills, nothing special or fancy motel, this place is great. I was worried about the cheap price (the whole, "getting what you paid for" thing) but was pleasantly surprised by the warm staff (she had cookies and/or muffins out every day for guests) and cleanliness. Yes the rooms are dated, and if you're looking for something... More
