The staff was incredible, and the price and location were unbeatable. It was amazing being so close to downtown and being able to walk to the beach and back so easily. The mermaid room we stayed in was a little run down, but you get what you pay for. I really would recommend this property for anyone on a budget.

The Seacrest is an older building, and so we had a smallish room. The toilet space was cramped, making it difficult for us seniors to get in and out. The bed was comfortable however, and we didn't spend much time in the room anyway.
The staff were polite and helpful, and allowed us to keep our bag in the office before check-in, and after we checked out.
The rooftop patio was nicely furnished, and has an amazing view

The room looked much better in the photos, the decoration and furniture wasn’t near as nice. The windows were very dirty on the outside and one was even cracked. Also the tub fixtures were very hard to operate and the curtain was mounted diagonally across the tub making it difficult to shower. However, the location is very convenient to the restaurants and activities.

I had a really nice stay at Seacrest Inn. The room was clean, comfortable, and had a peaceful vibe that made it easy to relax. The air conditioning worked well, and everything felt well-maintained.

One of my favorite parts was the rooftop—the view is amazing and you can see the beach area, which made it such a nice spot to unwind and take everything in.

The location is also a big plus, being so close to the beach and easy to get around. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and check-in/check-out was smooth.

The Seacrest Inn is an adorable hotel in Avalon. It’s a short walk from the ferry terminal and close to many restaurants in town. This historical hotel is very well maintained. The room was more spacious than we had anticipated and even had a small refrigerator and microwave. The shower and bathtub set up was unique, but we considered this part of the rooms charm. The rooftop provides great views of Avalon and the harbor - grab a bottle of wine and enjoy the sunset here!

Super loud paper thin walls nothing to do unless you want to spend a lot of money. Which if you’re fine twitch that the island is great for you I think we went at a bad time as nobody was in the main beach you can pay to stay at a nicer beach though. Hotel was ok the stairs are steps the big bathtub has a shower curtain it it’s at a weird angle so just put it outside of shower it’s a little better. They give you these tiny foam earbuds. The food is so expensive so you can go to grocery store if you want it’s a little cheaper they have hot ready to go meals. Only need a day on this island. Staff were very kind and helpful though. It was clean just older had a little charm to it!

Amber also had great recommendations for restaurants. The property itself is clean and comfortable, and has a two-level roof deck with fantastic views. They also offered beach towels for guests. Overall I would recommend!

I got the palm room at the back corner when I came. I’m glad they let me checkin before 4, like they originally told me. I checked in at 10. Could smell the cleaning product but the room wasn’t so bad but old. The only issue I had was that the next day, the WC got clogged after I used it. It was a terrible experience and it was my birthday 😭😭
I told the man at the front desk and he came and unclogged it with a plunger. I appreciate his niceness but I felt embarrassed and it was just weird. I believe it has happened previously with other guests so I was wondering why they still let that room out. Later, I went to meet him to change rooms and he told me it was a one time thing but I told him I think it would happen again. He eventually changed my room to one within the building called the captain’s quarter or so. That one was far far better so I was wondering why they would put me in the first one. Was actually offended. But thank God I asked for another room.
I appreciate their cleanliness and other than that first room experience, I’d say it’s a nice place, though old.

Was fine, stayed for 3 nights. First night there was a water leak from the ceiling. From the bath tub from the floor above being over filled, wasn’t a major leak just a consistent drip. Called the number and the guy came right away but was told they didn’t have another room to move us too so he threw a towel down and said that’s all he could do for now…. The water stopped after a bit but was still a little irritating. Other than that it was fine. Wondered if they would give us a discount or something for the inconvenience but nothing was offered….not a big deal. Close to town, staff was super friendly, and room was super clean. A little outdated but clean. Also while upon checking in was given a tour of the room and amenities by Amber, she was amazing! That being said I would more than likely stay there again.

I've stayed here a number of times. My only real complaint this time was that the jets for the warm tub advertised did not work at all. Also, the fridge seemed warm, and I wasn't sure if it was working properly. This was for the \"Loft Room\". If I was staying longer, I would have went to management about it but I was just there for one night. Usually, the hotel has been better. They need to more on top of things. The hotel room is too pricey for the amenities not to be functional.

Upon arrival, we were upgraded to a larger room with a view on the third floor. The room was very clean and in good repair. It included a large Jacuzzi tub, a double shower, and a pretty full kitchen. Now for the issues. The observation deck above us was not available due to construction on it and the stairs leading to it. The work did not start until after 8am, but along with general construction noise, it did sound like they dropped an occasional anvil on our ceiling. There was no ice available on the property and the micro-fridge in the room did not have an ice tray. (Warm margaritas just don't work.) The staff was friendly and I would recommend staying there, I'm sure our issues have been ironed out by now.

Room was cute, and had a private entrance on the side of the building which made it more quiet to sleep from the golf carts. Unfortunately the mattress quality was not good at all, and the toilet kept getting plugged. The roof top was being renovated as well, which was not on their website or other third party sites, so we were unable to use their grill to cook. A side table with chairs would have been nice as well outside of our room.
