We stayed here on Feb. 1,2 & 3 of 2013 and we love this place. It's perfectly located only a short walk to the beach. It's clean and quiet. Ulysses on the housekeeping staff was very attentive, cheerful and considerate. Sonya was a dear and we certainly enjoyed the delicious hot breakfast buffet she prepared. The whole front desk staff was very nice, organized and cheerful. Everything was perfect right down the line. This hotel is good value and we hope to stay here again.

Nice dog-friendly hotel with a great location! Had a nice little patio that connected with a walkway along the river. It was an easy walk to the beach, restaurants, and shops! Great little stop along our road trip from California to Washington. Wished we could have stayed longer in Seaside!

We were driving up the Oregon Coast and made the mistake of thinking we didn't need to make reservations at this time of year (November). We figured we'd stop when we got tired. Well, we stopped in Manzanita but they were totally booked - we tried several places. We then got back on the road and ended up in Seaside. Again, we struck out with 3 places but then saw a vacancy sign at the Holiday Inn Express. Neither of us found the thought of staying here appealing but decided that we did not want to drive any further and as long as we had a clean room and a safe parking spot we'd be fine. Upon checking in, my boyfriend told the gentleman at the reception counter that we were driving a very nice car he just bought and asked if it would be safe in their parking lot. This employee ended up having someone move their car from a front spot so we could put the car there. He also ran and got us a menu from one of the local restaurants in case we wanted to order take out food. We felt very well taken care of and that goes a long way. The hotel was pretty basic as was the complimentary breakfast but they get 4 stars for the customer service. Oh, and we found out there was a marriage retreat going on in Seaside which is why all the hotels were booked!

I've passed by this hotel every time I've stayed in Seaside and have chosen to stay elsewhere. I decided to try something new on this trip. Wow...what a nice surprise. An exceptional value: nice, modern, clean and great location (just two blocks to the heart of town). A great breakfast, too. Sorry that I ignored you, Holiday Inn - I'll be back.
