I hate that there are so many bad reviews of this place! My family and I came to seaside for about 3 summers in a row and though it is not pristine, I would def. rate as excellent for the money. YOUR ON THE BEACH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! who cares about anything else. I have also been treated very... more

The Sea Side Motel is not fancy. It is not beautiful. But it is a great find. My sister and I stayed there for four nights over a holiday weekend for fifty dollars a night, with an ocean front room. The Sea Side has an extremely friendly and accommodating staff, an "indoor garden," and an indoor pool. Breakfast is served... more

This is a nice place. I recently returned 7/31/07 and everything was ok. The pricing was fair especially since thehe price stayed the same the entire month unlike other hotels where they can change frequently. Most of the events occur within 5 blocks both ways of 21st street so you're close enough to enjoy everything without it being too much... more

Do not stay at this hotel!! The front desk staff are rude and not helpful in the least. Our room was never cleaned even after I stopped by the desk twice to ask about when it would be cleaned. I was told to bring my own towels to the office to exchange them for clean towels since the cleaning staff... more

I stayed here last August and really liked it so I booked again for Thanksgiving weekend. The off-season prices are very good. I got an efficiency room and it was very clean. My TV didn't have any sound on it though and my bathroom sink was clogged so I reported it Friday night and they were there the next morning... more

This place is a dump and the front staff is rude! I will never stay there again. We actually stayed April 2005 but I didn't find this website to post about until now. There were roaches in the bedroom. The room was tiny and the elevator was 100 years old! When we checked out, the rude lady at the desk... more

Shame on me for not reading the reviews before booking, but since we had previously stayed at this hotel when it was the Idlewhyle, I never gave it any thought. It had always been basic, quaint, but had a lovely glass roofed courtyard with flowers and plants surrounding the furniture, glass enclosed pool and was neat, clean and very safe.... more

Have never stayed in Virginia Beach before, stayed there for three nights this time. Just a quicky trip. For that, the Sea Side was fine. I don't know how it would have been for any longer, as the bed was rather mushy and the rooms are fairly small. But there are chairs outside each room, and the sun deck to... more
