I stayed at this place with my family and so far this is one of the worst hotel of Seaside Oregon. The check in lobby smells horrible like cat poo and piss. The rooms it self is very dirty as well and smells like gross poo poo the bathrooms also smells like poo. The toilet also came with a nasty skid mark that was clearly left behind from the previous guest or housekeeping staff. The room that I stayed in might of been haunted because I ways feel like someone else is in my room, next to me when there really isn't also I hear mysterious whispers at night.

Broken room. Staff made fraudulent charge to my card and repeatedly denied it. Broken stove fan made fire alarm go off any time stove was used, eliminating the benefit of the stovetop room upcharge. Toilet ran all night and made it hard to sleep. No fans and a very poor collection of worthless cooking utensils. Smelled bad too! Stay away from this dump and don't let them get your credit card number! Booked through booking.com but they still got my cc info to rip me off.

my husband and I rented a room last weekend. cheep place, right on the beach.. but then we arrived. immediately when you pull into the parking lot it is crammed and extremely narrow. You feel like you need to watch your back. Going into the room, the fridge was from the 50s, it had the pull handle and everything. We realized very quickly that the pictures online were obviously from another time because those wonderful private entrances off of the boardwalk were all bricked up so prepare to walk halfway around the building just to go anywhere. The bed was loud enough to wake the dead, when you got on it it sounded like a moose was being slaughtered. Everything in the room was old old old. The showerhead has been in that place for at least 10 years. The toilet stopped flushing halfway through the night so that was fun. The entire room was a weird orange color from people smoking in it. The carpet was matted with stuff, we couldn't take our shoes off if we were out of bed it was just too nasty. At night the homeless people were chilling outside of our room and knocked multiple times on the window of the room. By far though the worst things in the place were 1. there was a hole large enough for a man cut into the ceiling and covered with a random piece of wood. There were 2 smoke detectors. One was covered with plastic and the other one wasn't. the one that wasn't i'm pretty sure was a camera since it had a suspicious space that looked like a lens on it and halfway through the night there was a red light that turned on on it like it was recording. just dont do it to yourself or your family just go somewhere less creepy and vulnerable.

Don’t rent this motel unless it’s the only one left. The bed was horrible like sleeping on straight up springs; the pillows were flat like sleeping on a folded up hoodie; we had a homeless guy sleeping underneath of our window snoring all night; the maid did not clean up our room rather she came in and partly made the bed and that’s about it. It’s right on the promenade which is nice but at the same time everybody that walks by stares right into the room which is kind of awkward when you’re trying to relax. If you enjoy going back into the 70s or early 80s this is your room. That’s probably the last time the mattresses and pillows were changed as well. The staff was really nice but the office smelled so bad I could hardly stand being in there longer than 30 seconds. The only reason it gets two points instead of one is its proximity to the beach.

This place is NOT average as the reviews suggest. It’s glory days were clearly in the 70’s. The front desk smells like wet dog and the rooms scream for maintenance. The doors are scuffed and beaten up showing that management does not care about the rooms appearance. Fixtures such as shower heads are loose and falling down. The beds are not only uncomfortable but creak like something from a cheap flophouse. I can only imagine if the surface things are in such poor condition how little attention is put into cleaning. Proximity to the beach is often noted as a plus.....sure hope you like the drunken passerby by parading next to your window all night long.

We slept well, and we appreciated the easy access to the beach, Broadway, etc. It was very handy having a full kitchen. There were plenty of electrical outlets and free WiFi. Judy helped us and had great suggestions for dinner. The service was excellent. If we're in Seaside again, we'll stay here.
