The staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful. This hotel is categorized as a 4 star hotel. It is far from a 4 star hotel. The rooms are extremely small. Breakfast was the same every day and average at best. The pool looked dirty and was also very small. We chose not to use it. The online pictures made the hotel appear much nicer than its actual condition.

We loved it here. It was a great location. Hotel was swanky and nice. The light remains on in the outside walkway which does shine in your room. Maybe bring a night mask just in case. We had a great experience. Our reservation dates got messed up and mixed up. We would have liked that resolved, but instead we were charged a night we didn’t use.

The parking was terrible. Not only do they charge you to park but you have to park across the street and haul your suitcase across the road. After coming off of the beach we thought we could go sit by the pool and listen to the band that was playing next door at Wind Jammers. The pool is literally an oversized tub. The parking was the biggest disappointment. Most hotels do not charge for parking.

Expect very small rooms but you’re right on the beach so who cares?! They have a pancake maker that makes the most perfect pancakes included in the free breakfast. Towels available so you don’t have to get yours all dirty. Right next to the new heavy’s bar burger and all the shops. Will definitely stay here again!! (If you’re a light sleeper I wouldn’t recommend because you’re quite literally right beside the windjammer)

For what I had to pay to stay here, I could have found a much better place to stay.
I have stayed here twice in the past. The rooms look more run down each time. The last time we stayed the air conditioner didn’t work. I complained and we were moved to another room where the TV didn't work. I decided to give them another try
this past week because we love the area. This room was even smaller than the others. We couldn’t get the luggage carrier in the room because of the bed. When I took a shower, the water ran away from the drain and created a big puddle at the other end. The bathroom wall had holes in it and big globs of putty sticking out of the wall. The refrigerator leaked onto the floor and all our food was frozen in the bottom of the frig. The door to the room had to be shoved to get it opened and made a loud metallic sound that scared my daughter when I opened it. The owners need to tear the old building down and rebuild from scratch. I won’t ever be back there again. I didn’t take photos. I should have.

We had a very nice stay here and will definitely revisit again next time we come back to Isle of Palms. The rooms are clean, the staff is very friendly and accommodating, and the location is just absolutely wonderful. You don’t have to drive to the beach, restaurants, bars, stores, etc. as the property is located right on the main street where all of the popular things to do are located at, including frontline beach access. The only part we did not favor that was a bit frustrating was the parking situation - there is EXTREMELY limited parking spaces near the hotel and only about 6 spots at the hotel itself. The overflow guest parking lot across the street was full, so we had to call the front desk and were instructed to go down a couple of blocks and park in another hotel’s overflow parking lot. It was nice of the hotel staff to give us directions on where to go and allow us to park our cars there during our stay, however where we parked at was so far from the hotel we had to get an Uber to pick us up with all of our bags and luggage and drive us over to drop us off. We could have walked if we had less things to carry with us, but even if we did it probably would be an 8-10 minute walk from where we were at. Anyways, other than that it was an overall wonderful stay and we recommend this property!

Clean room, friendly staff, AND free breakfast that I didn’t expect. We could see the beach from the deluxe room and just steps away from the beach. We randomly put two camper foldable chairs in the car and that actually was really helpful as we didn’t have anywhere else to sit besides the bed so we had a make shift living room that was perfect. Hope this helps someone else

Amazing view and location!! We loved it!! No view of the ocean from our room, but just walk out your door a few steps and there you go! They also have overflow parking, if you can’t find a spot underneath the hotel. You can see the live music from the Windjammer right from the ocean view balconys! We will definitely stay here again!!

We stayed here cause we had a concert at The Windjammer and didn’t realize until we arrived just how close we were! It was awesome for anyone attending a show there AND right on the beach, which was fantastic. My only complaint was that our room’s window was right under the outside hall light which was SOOOO bright and the blinds let in way too much light. A blackout shade that goes over the window would’ve been the perfect solution and this is just from someone who sleeps lighter than a feather and has issues with sleep masks.
Aside from that, would ABSOLUTELY stay here again!

I hate to say anything bad but there was no parking and the music was so loud. Then the property lights were so bright it was hard to get a restful night. Additionally, we were adjacent to a barking and yapping dog. When we told the front desk, the reply was that leaving the dog unattended was not the hotels policy. I asked the desk for ear plugs but they did not have anything. The beach was crowded and full of inconsiderate people. If you are looking to relax, this is not the hotel for you. The only good thing was the front desk receptionist named Jack. He was always friendly. If you are looking for a drunken, loud time, this is the hotel for you. No rules for parking or smoking are enforced and nor, as mentioned, the animal policy. People were walking around all hours of the night being loud. The people above us were stomping around and the breakfast seating was suboptimal and full of unruly children. This is the fourth time a request for feedback was requested and I would have rather chalked it up to a mistake on my part for not researching but there you have it. This is not the Isle of Palms that I remember, might as well head to Myrtle Beach for a better, less expensive hotel.

Parking was a nightmare. There are a few spots on site. The rest are in an overflow lot. Even though the signs state clearly that the lot is reserved, it was difficult to find a spot. The first night of our stay, I ended up having to park 2-3 blocks away in the public lot.

We recently stayed at the Seaside Inn in Isle of Palms and had a wonderful experience. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the staff was absolutely fantastic—friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay.

The only downside was parking. Parking is at a premium across Isle of Palms, and having to search for parking and then pay for it detracted a bit from the overall experience. That said, that’s really on me for not doing enough research beforehand, as it’s a challenge throughout the area and not unique to the hotel.

Other than that, I would highly recommend Seaside Inn to anyone looking for a great place to stay on Isle of Palms. The excellent staff, clean accommodations, and convenient location made for a very enjoyable visit.

I stayed for one night with a couple of my girlfriends. You cannot beat the location of this hotel. On the beach, within walking distance to the bars and restaurants, and shopping. Parking was easy and very reasonably priced. And in the morning, they provide a complimentary continental breakfast. I was not even expecting that. It was very much appreciated. The only negative was that our in-room Keurig coffee machine did not work. But coffee was provided in the lobby during breakfast, so that really was not a big deal. They also provided unlimited cold water bottles in the lobby throughout the day. I highly recommend this hotel, and I definitely would stay there again.

Room smell like bug spray and mildew floor looked like it was coming loose? My bed shook all night due to the bands next-door. Earplugs did not even help. Crowds were so bad just getting to the beach was a chore. When crowds left left of behind lots of trash and litter on the beach that washed into the ocean.

Best time of the day was sunrise before anybody got there $50 parking fee was a little depressing to find out upon arrival!

Parking was confusing at first. I paid $15 for parking so we could check in. Parking under was Full. When we checked in I paid $50 for overflow parking. But the hotel was just what we needed but not worth the price. It was clean, there is live music next door, beach access was great, walk anywhere to eat or shop. Breakfast was okay. We did enjoy our stay. We’ll probably stay again, when visit Charleston again.

This is clearly an older property in need of significant updates, though it appears the owners may be in the very early stages of making improvements. Unfortunately, the room I received did not match the photos shown online. The stairways and hallways had peeling paint, AC units were leaking water into the hallways, the doors were poorly sealed, there was noticeable rust on many surfaces, and both the bathroom and overall room furnishings felt quite dated.

That said, the bedding appeared clean, and the included breakfast was much better than expected. The location and views are absolutely beautiful and are easily the property's strongest assets.

At the moment, this is more of a budget-friendly place to sleep than a destination property. If you're simply looking for an affordable room in a great location, it will likely meet your needs. However, it still has a long way to go before the accommodations match the appeal of the setting.

Parking is atrocious, very limited and tight parking under the Inn, the overflow lot is across the street again with limited and tight spots. On-site pool is a 3.5' small wading pool. Rooms need refreshed, bathrooms need remodeling. Wooden walkway to the beach needs repair, breakfast was mediocre. Perks, close to great attractions and food, the VFW Post is next door and a great place to enjoy libation and tunes from Windjammer, membership is required and strict. Direct access to the beach, chairs and umbrellas are not provided, bring your own or rent, towels are provided. Price is good for what you get. Beds were comfortable.

The microwave ate our daughter’s bottle and we couldn’t get it out until maintenance came the next day. The fire alarm went off at night waking the entire hotel up and sending our toddler into a panic attack with no explanation from staff. The “free” breakfast was a joke. Housekeeping just opened our door with the do not disturb placard on the handle one hour before checkout. They came knocking again 30 minutes before checkout. Very pushy to get us out. I was shouted at by the maintenance man for taking the luggage cart to the loading zone while trying to put our luggage in my truck. Very unorganized operation. If not for the ocean that borders this property, there is no way they would still be in business. No focus on guest experience. You are treated more like cattle they are just cycling through. Spend the extra money and stay elsewhere.

Very nice, quiet, simple hotel with everything you need. Friendly staff. Very nice size rooms - for solo traveler or even a couple - more than enough. Complementary breakfast - very decent coffee and bagels with cream cheese. I traveled with a dog - no issues at all. Pretty tight parking under the hotel with only few spots but they have overflow parking across the street. Overall very satisfying stay.

The only thing that was good was the location. The hotel itself was a dump. Parking was costly and terrible. Based on the photos you would not know the place was little more than a dive!

Attitude was a real deal breaker for us. After arriving to our room we discovered the lights were out for 3/4 of the room - particularly troublesome for the bathroom. Went to front desk and waited about 20 min for someone to come and check out what we assumed to be a fuse issue. Another 20 min and problem is not resolved. Go to the desk to get an update and Miss Attitude is very sassy despite the patience and respect we afforded her. We had been on the beach all day and wanted to shower and head out for an anniversary dinner. Suggested maybe we could relocate to a new room… She was resistant to the idea and we went back to the room to wait longer. Meanwhile I had dropped ice on the floor and used a washcloth to clean it up and the floor was filthy! Imagine if I had lights to actually see… 15 min pass and a much nicer staff member came & gave us the code to a new room. The new room was newly renovated and a much better, cleaner accommodation. Wondering if bc we booked thru Expedia we were given a tired, old room bc the resort was very quiet and you would think they’d want to impress guests by assigning the newer rooms. Unfortunately the lack of professionalism by the front desk and the filthy floor in the first unit will deter us from visiting this resort in the future. Plenty of nearby choices

No beach view for rooms on 1st floor,in fact there are only 6-9 rooms with a ocean view, paid about $400 but our view was a wall of the office, room is dark , window to the side where all ppl walk so we kept closed.

This was a pretty basic hotel. It needed renovating. The paint was peeling on the floor of my shower pretty bad. I had no trash can at all in my room. There was something weird going on with the shower curtain and it wasn’t big enough to spread across the whole shower so bathroom floor always wet.

My room had 1 window, I didn’t expect an ocean view necessarily, but the view from my window was right into the hallway where people walked, all I could see was the hallway wall. They only had blinds, no blackout curtains so the light from the hallway shined into the room all night. Overall mediocre place to stay.

I will say the location was excellent, great beach area and popular restaurants directly next door.

The staff was friendly and helpful. Its wonderful to be so close to the beach. We were in walking distance to a lot of wonderful restaurants and fun places.The rooms could use a deep cleaning, the floors left our feet dirty. The building could definitely use some renovations. The bed wasn’t the most comfortable but the pillows were nice. The parking is not that great. There are only a few places to park under the building but there is an overflow parking lot. Over all we were happy enough that we will stay there again.

The room was dirty. There is no carpet but the floors were so dirty, my feet were black if I walked barefoot out of bed. The toilet and shower were clean but the walls and floor of the bathroom were not clean. The parking is ridiculous, I saw 3 cars run into walls or poles under the building and then we got a parking ticket for parking on the street. Two out of 3 staff were nice. The first counter person in the hotel told us we could pay $100 to check in 30 minutes early upon arrival. There was a wrestling match going on next door and it was soooo loud but they could not accommodate us in another room on the other side of the hotel. All in all the pictures are deceiving. The hotel is not nice!

The room was outdated but clean. The shower had a few cracks but the location cannot be beat. There was a band playing at the windjammer next door and the second floor looks out at it so we had the best seat in the house. The pool is not great but we were at the beach all day so it didn’t matter. They had sufficient parking but it was across the street. Definitely recommend eating at acme! Fun little town for sure.

Absolutely disgusted - the owner(s) of this hotel should be ashamed of themselves. We are both 56, and traveled to Charleston 4/9/26 to 4/13/26 to visit our daughter in college. Our stay was until Monday, August 13, 2026. This apparently was the busiest time of the year, as it is spring break for some colleges, April vacation for schools, and the Masters was occurring 2 hours away. Hotels were charging top dollar, as did the car rental agencies. We chose to stay at the seaside, in an We chose to stay at the seaside, in a small room with a king size bed, for a rate of $300 per night. We arrived at 10:30 pm, the one staff member that was at the property was extremely unfriendly. The only parking for the property was 1/4 mile from the hotel , across a very busy road, and also not free - we had to pay to park our car, which was a Chevy trailblazer that totaled almost $700 for 5 days. We got off the one elevator that was in the building, which, even though there was not a soul around, took over five minutes for the elevator to come to the bottom floor. We got off the elevator, and there were no signs directing which way your room was. My husband went one way around the building, and I went the other, and we found our room. We opened the door, and was met with the heaviest smell of mold and mildew, the bed was full of sand, the soap in the bathroom was old and had rings, the shower had hair mold and dirt,

Make sure you have your license plate in hand or they won’t check you in plus parking is a bit small especially if you have a large suv- overflow is located about 50 feet away but thy will only tell you that when you check in with your license plate

Not as advertised—overpriced and disappointing stay

The room and facilities did not match what was advertised. The pool was dirty and covered in sand—even though it is located away from the beach—which made it unappealing to use. The room itself felt musty and cramped for three people. The bathroom was very dated and uncomfortable, and there were no curtains to block the light from the outside walkway, making it difficult to sleep. For the price we paid, this stay was extremely disappointing.

That said, the bed and towels were clean, and the woman who greeted me at the front desk was kind and welcoming.

Overall, this property did not provide the value or experience it advertised, and I would not choose to stay here again.
