Pros- One block from beach, Received daily beach passes which saved us $50 per day.Free parking. Management and housekeeping attentive and did the beat they could with what they had to work with. Cons- Ceiling in bathroom caved in. Towel rack ripped off wall. No windows could open. Furniture picked off side of road, stcky and stained (we bought 4 blankets to cover couches)..Cleaned with full strenghrh Fabuloso and coulnt breathe for 3 days. Pool the size of a puddle surrounded by mismatched 1970s random furniture. Clean full size fridge. Never turned on stove as coils were busted up. Plate in microwave did not fit and moved around hitting its walls when heating up. The neighboring hotel mgmt also owned next door - the Sunnydale maybe much newer, cleaner, nicer pool. I think ours is probably used off season as a welfare motel. Made the best out of what we had during our stay. We were on a tight budget.

Sheets clean and no bugs anywhere. Rooms very dated, carpet is dirty and limited outlets that work. Also unable to watch TV. Small pool but clean. Limited parking but property provides option at check in and free of charge. You do get what you pay for but overall good stay. I would stay again.

Ok so even out 11 yr old and 13 yr old would not sleep under the blankets here, the box springs and mattresses in both suites were stained everywhere down the sides with not sure if vomit or feces that was tried to be cleaned. Blankets on beds were different patterns didn’t even match which at first look was comical, even the mismatched cushions around the pool looked like they hit a goodwill sale, still had to laugh we thought, we had to wait 40 min for the poor guy in lobby to make us parking spots but I was squeezed in a spot next to the dumpster and had to crawl out the back passenger door from drivers seat. Ooh and there is no WiFi here either

If I had to sum it up in one word, I'd say adequate. The place is exactly what I have come to expect from a motel in Seaside, old, run down but clean. The pillows left much to be desired. I had to fold one in half to sleep on it. The office staff was very nice. It was close to where we wanted to be and it had a nice pool which because of rain we never got to use. There was parking on site but it was close quarters and sometimes you had to park in front of someone's room which felt weird. It think its terrible that some people have written on the paneling in the bathroom but that's not the fault of the management.

Anyone with a negative review, must have been expecting a 5 star motel. For the price and location, this motel was perfect. We'll be returning again in a couple weeks. Staff checked us in early so we didn't have to pay to park. Once parked we never had to drive until we went home. My only issue was in order to get the 2 beach passes, you had to leave your ID which if you wanted to purchase an adult beverage, it would be hard if you didn't look old like me. Other than that, no complaints

Great location and motel had a small in ground pool, but the night my family and I stayed, it was full of teens partying. The motel handed out bracelets to the kids, that’s how many kids were there. They were up until 6 in the morning with music blasting, smoking weed and drinking. They were rowdy, spitting from the upper level floor and throwing bottles. Rooms were dirty, beds felt like cots, mold in the mini fridge. Our AC didn’t work and they ended up moving us to the bottom corner room. The room although still low budget was 5 star compared to the one we had. They had security out all day and night (babysitting). Great place for partying teens terrible place for a family with kids or any mature adult.

This place was very outdated and dirty. The bathroom sink was cracked in half and rusty. There were no hooks to hang anything. The stove only had 2 aisles that worked. The kitchen chairs were very filthy. The sofa bed had stains, crumbs and sand on it. The bedroom linens were stained and had hair all over them. Thank God we brought our own air mattresses. The nightstand had rust stains from the lamp with a broken lampshade. And to top it off water from the ceiling leaked all over our bags. This place is horrible and should be condemned. It's definitely not worth the money we paid for it. I wouldn't reccomend this place to anybody.

So, keeping in mind, this is a typical seaside motel; i knew what I was going to get, so this is just me giving an honest review

First- WONDERFUL location!! Half block from the boardwalk. Pool is small but very nice, and clean. AC worked, and it didn't smell weird or anything. There is free parking too.

The motel is weathered, run-down, doesn't look very well kept either: weeds growing near the pool filter, the gate lock at the pool isn't functional.
The room was kind of questionable. Dirty, there were burn holes in the comforters, ceiling tiles were stained and coming undone. Sink and tub were stained, and rust around the room door, and the bathroom mirror. The wood paneling wasn't finished, just weird wood. There were floor tiles missing in the bathroom, and there was a part of the wall missing behind the toilet(I'm guessing for pipe access).

Location was great and that’s where it stops. Outlets looked unsafe, floor was dirty and the coffee pot had old coffee in it. There was a false eyelash stuck to the heater in an extremely obvious place, and the bathroom was stained and dirty. Furniture was outdated and uncomfortable, and finding staff for any reason was near impossible. We also dealt with a brand new employee who seemed to have no easily accessible back up. (Not her fault she did try her best.) My kids did really enjoy the pool but it’s quite small. All this being said if you’re looking for a close spot to the beach you don’t really care about this is your spot. This place was good for sleeping (barely) and that was it.

I didn’t pay for a Hilton, I didn’t expect a Hilton. For the price and the area, this was a great place to stay. The cleaning could be more thorough and it would look nicer if they got rid of the towels/sheets that have stains on them. Walking distance to everywhere we had interest in going to. The beach and boardwalk were a block away. The walls are thin but again, expected. Nobody was really noisy but you could hear snoring or chairs moving. We stayed for two nights and room service did not stop by but I’m okay with that. We were able to go down the office if we needed anything.

I usually like motels because you can park right in front of your room for ease of unloading the car. I was surprised that they put us on the second floor with a toddler.

The bedspread was stained and the carpeting ripped in several places. While the bathroom was clean, it was old and the sink had water stains. The bathroom and the sleeping area were dimly lit. The air conditioner didn’t cool off the room. The bath towels were very small and threadbare. There was no toilet tissue. The door had to be forcibly closed in order to lock the deadbolt. The flimsy blinds had no wands to close them.
