“Ok for a guy's trip”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 30, 2012

I stayed here w/ a bunch of buddies about two years ago for a fishing trip. For something like a bunch of 30 something dudes who just want to drink some beers and play cards, it's perfect. I have two small children at home and no way would I bring them here. When we go to Port A with the family it's either the Sand Castle across the street from here or Port Royal.

The rooms were old and outdated, and the facility itself was just dingy. The prices are reasonable and the place is right on the beach, so again if it's just you and some buds looking for a place to to crash it fits the bill.

“This is by far the WORSE place I have ever been too!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed May 22, 2012 via mobile

My husband and I took our three children this past weekend to stay at the beach! This motel was the only one who had a room! So we stupidly took it! The front office smelled horrible! The entire staff looked like they had fallen out of a redneck tree! They were rude and none if them were all on the same page! We went to our room which they did not tell us was a motel room.. For the price we paid it should not have been a motel room and were horrified! It smelled horribly! The TV was 15 years old, and our toilet didn't flush properly. After the third flush, it over flowed everywhere! I went down to tell the night clerk.. Her solution.. She handed me a plunger and told me to clean it up! I was appauled! It was there problem and they wanted me to clean it up! This place should be shut down! Its poorly done on the inside and out! It was the wrist experience ever!!

“Value Beach-Side Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 26, 2012

This place is great if you want to walk out of your hotel room and step right out onto the beach. The decor and amenities won't impress, but the location can't be beat. You don't have to drive to get to the beach and the price is very cheap. Its very good for pets as well; they only charge $10 no matter the size or pet type.

Overall, would definitely recommend if you are on a budget or would like to be as close to the beach as possible.

“Motel steps away from the ocean”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 15, 2012

Clean motel - nothing fancy at all.They do welcome pets for a $10 fee. You can literally walk out of the motel parking lot and you are steps away from the beach.

“To anyone that has pets and loves the beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 10, 2012

Seaside motel is one of the easiest and cheapest motels ON the beach, they allow pets, which is a blessing to us, the best thing to do is make your plans with them ahead of time, they have done some fixing up and preventive maintenance for spring break, dont expect a continetal breakfast, but you do get a fridge and microwave in your room, if you want a condo, you get the kitchen, enjoy your stay, and if you stay there you can literally see the beach within less than a 1/4 of a mile, well worth the stay, and our dogs know that it is home when we go there. And if you want to sleep at might, take a box fan with you, it drowns out the outside noise.
