Our stay was nice for the few days we were there, the only issues we had were the bathroom fan was not working in our room so running the shower made the whole room hot. One other thing, we put the \"Do not disturb\" sign on our door both days we were there and didn't need any cleaning or towels but both days they still tried coming into our room while we were there. That was a big inconvenience. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay.

We stay at The Seabonay every year and it never disappoints !!! The staff are amazing, from check in to housekeeping, everyone is so helpful and kind. The rooms are always clean, a bit small but we're only there to sleep and shower anyway so it doesn't matter. For the price, you simply cannot beat The Seabonay!!!

The location is ideal. The property definitely needs upgrades, & maintenance. Room was not cleaned properly upon arrival. Location is pet friendly which was not displayed online. I had to call staff numerous times just to get fresh towels or service to clean up. They seemed understaffed, which I get happens. Overall good stay with the family!

First, I would like to say ALL staff members are second to none. Where to check in is confusing. A grounds keeper escorted me to the office instead of pointing the way.

The front desk staff were very pleasant and inviting. Any time I needed information they were friendly and approachable.

The thing that happened that made me say I would come back to Seabonay is the compassion of front desk staffer Ns. Nali.
My husband is disabled and unable to navigate the stairs to our 2nd floor room. We explained my husband's disability and asked if there was any way to get our room changed to the first floir. She searched the reservations which took time between answering phone calls, checking in guest, and answering quest questions. She was able to find availability and we were moved to a first floor accommodation the very next morning.

We really appreciated her efforts. She was very kind, compassionate, and patient with us.

The staff also helped us with an iron and other things to make our stay a good one.

Not to mislead anyone who is considering Seabonay. This motel would benefit from modern updates. However, I must say my room was clean. Shout out to housekeeping. They were on point.

Investing in a pool heater would be another benefit as well.

Overall, my stay was a good one. The complimentary coffee every morning was appreciated. Staff are great. Rooms are clean.

Did I mention this is a Beach front property. The boardwalk is right there. Excellent location.

I originally had booked the room by the pool. When I walked into my room it immediately smelled like mold I asked for a different room. I get to the different room and there is mold on the curtains. This room also smells like mold. So I just went to the front desk and asked to be refunded. They said no. I wasnt going to get refunded for the whole thing but since I booked through Hotels.com. When I called them They stated the hotel said they were only gonna refund me a day and a half, even though it’s not my fault it smells like mold and has mold. I said no this is ridiculous. I want my money back a full refund!! I’m on the phone with Hotels.com Lady was like well. You only said it “smells like mold” I said no there is actual mold in the room and asked her if she wanted a picture that I took of the curtains. She had maintenance check it out and confirmed there was mold. She then decided to upgrade me for free to the dunes suites since they own both. It was just too much of a hassle. I wasn’t trying to be rude. It just smelt so bad and had mold. Not my fault. I was OK with getting my money back and then when she found out there was mold she just upgraded me. And since we already wasted three hours of our time on on the phone, I was willing to look at the room to see if it was accommodating. The Dune suites were not terrible, but they did not smell and did not show any mold. I will never book third-party again. I definitely wouldn’t recommend the seabonay.

Room looked newly renovated and clean. All staff were very friendly and helpful. The bed was a bit springy, so it wasn’t the best nights sleep, but manageable for a weekend. Direct beach access and ample parking for patrons. Pool was great and clean. We didn’t get housekeeping while we were there but it was offered. Crabtree & Evelyn toiletries which was quite a surprise! AC was pumping during the heat wave. You have to go to Dunes to check in, but there’s signage to direct you there.
Honestly the Google reviews really scared me but we had a great stay over 4th of July. It’s definitely a beach motel vibe so don’t expect a 5 star hotel experience, but you can expect a decent stay all around.

The room was underwhelming. We paid for a beach/ ocean view and had a room on the first floor with a dune view. When asked for a different room we were denied and were told to go through the Expedia app. It would have cost more to cancel the room! The pictures of the were over exasperated and left us with higher expectations.

We stayed for 4 nights, the staff was really friendly but i will say that the amenities need a lot of upgrading. the flooring was almost dry rotted and mildewed, the floor felt damp and had a smell to it. the tv was extremely old with no HMDI port so no ability for us to hook up our fire stick. the AC in the room was really good and was cold but it still felt wet and sticky in the room. the bathroom was not really clean, there was a lot of mold looking stuff on the mirrors and the toilet had cracks all over it. we even found one of the towels they gave us had yellow/brown stains all over it. we also asked for a do not disturb flag for the room, and when we had came back one day we noticed our room had been touched and we were never notified when we asked for no housekeeping. the day we were supposed to check out we were woken up by continuous knocking at 9 AM and as my boyfriend was getting out of bed to get the door, someone from the hotel staff had some sort of master key and opened our door (it was bolted) but still got it half open and we went out to ask them why they were trying to get into our room and we were told that “someone told them we were already gone” when we had not checked out and it was 9 AM. so overall i would say this stay was good if you aren’t going to spend much time in the room, but if it’s in the budget i would pay a little extra to stay somewhere else because we sure wish that we did.

Clean, quaint..right next to the beach. Pool was very nice, however no shade, so umbrellas would be perfect. Staff was wonderful! Beach was nice; quiet area which was perfect for our family. The outdoor picnic area and bbq grills were awesome. Was it built in 2026? No.. but great price for family friendly, clean accommodations! They also have complimentary board games and a selection of ice cream for purchase in the office 24/7. Highly recommend and will be back next year!

My stay was good overall. I stayed for 3 nights with two toddlers, and we had a great experience. The room was clean, nice, and I loved that our view overlooked the pool. I also appreciated being on a lower floor since I had two toddlers with me—it made things much easier.

The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The only issue I had was the smell in the room and how dry the air felt. There was a strange odor that never really went away, so I would often leave the door open to air the room out.

I also think the property could use a few updates, like replacing some of the carpets and refreshing parts of the rooms. Other than the smell and the need for some updates, everything else was good, and I enjoyed my stay. I would consider staying here again.

I booked a beach front room as I wanted to see the BEACH, well when I got to my room I was given a bottom floor room with dunes in front of you, so you can’t even look out to see the ocean. I asked for a different room because as I booked a beach front room I’d like to see the beach, well I was told it would be $400 to upgrade my room, which to me seems like a bunch of crap. Also, our ac did not work for 3 days we were there. We called and complained each day and finally after the 3rd day they came and put a new unit in our room. Our tv in our room did not work at all!! They came to fix that also and it worked for one day and stopped working again so we said the hell with it. Our sheets, pillowcases and blankets were dirty. So save yourself the money and don’t fall for these pictures because this hotel is ran down and needs many many fixes!!!

First off, I would like to commend the friendly staff, above all the maintenance manager, Larry who made our stay absolutely stress free! This small motel is just steps away from the beach. Some rooms do need to air out a little so turning off the aircon and just opening the door once in a while helps. Bring your sleeping masks, the room is so bright if you are facing the beach side. Each room have a small microwave and a small fridge… perfect for longer stays. Location is also a few steps away from the boardwalk but far enough that it doesn’t get all the noise and traffic. It’s close to tons of restaurants, local shops and pubs! Will totally stay again!

It was just steps away from the start of the boardwalk which kept it very quiet. Unfortunately, the pool was being worked on while we were there so we couldn’t use it. Convenient to all attractions with ample parking. Would definitely return.

The pictures surely make it look better. The best thing about the place was the location. 1 property from the beginning of the boardwalk. Upon arriving the sign told us to go to a different hotel to check in. Not far but inconvenient. The Pool was closed for service, I am guessing for maintenance for the upcoming season but that was never told to us. We were told we can use the pool at the other hotel, again not convenient. Our 3rd floor room was close to the picture shown. Definitely showing signs of wear but did have a good ocean view. The windows had blinds instead of curtains/drapes which looked modern but caused an issue with a bright light right outside the window/door area. Our room all evening was illuminated through the white blinds. After 2 requests staff came and hung curtains....not very attractive but worked with the lighting. Security was an issue for me.....an average door knob with a house type lock and a security chain for added security. We finished our vacation but would not plan on returning to this motel.

They should send an email that check in is at another location. Walking over wasn’t far, but, in the rain was less than amusing. To drive over would be a big pain.
The room was fine, thankfully for the carpet otherwise we might have fallen through the floor. You could feel the wood rot.
Staff was fine, only saw them when you walked over to the check in building, ice and coffee only available at the check in building.

The room was very small! It smelled like mildew there were places in the floor that we thought we’d fall through! Definitely not the room in any of their pictures. The parking lot was in between buildings there was no lighting. The over flow parking lot was across a 4 lane highway with no cross walk. I have pictures I would love to post!

The room smelled horrible, staff doesn’t speak English and those that do it’s barely understandable, and let’s address the bug issue there are so many outside that they will make there way inside

Room looked unswept unpon arriving. I booked a room with a balcony, but was put in a ground floor room. A view of the ocean was blocked by high sand and a fence. Parking was fine, just across the street.

The room was clean and efforts were made to update but overall I’d be shocked if the rooms and property passed safety inspections. It was probably stated in the listing but when I pay extra for an ocean front room I assume it’s a private balcony. It was not. At the end of the day we were there for the beach and the festival but the accommodations did not match the price paid.

Room was clean. Office and service were friendly and helpful. The place itself is somewhat dated, but a quick weekend away didn’t call for more than a safe and clean place to sleep, which the Seabonay is. Location is great too. True ocean front view with dunes and just a few steps from the boardwalk. Definitely a solid place to stay, especially if you’re gonna be busy in OC and just need somewhere to sleep and clean up.

Room was clean, no issues, staff came by with fresh towels when we needed them. Parking is super easy. Steps to the beach. Easy access to boardwalk and concerts. Staff made sure no one smoked on walk ways/balconies since its a shared walkway. Its nice not stinking from smokers when coming and going from your room. Much appreciated

I refused to stay at this motel, but smell of mildew and mold was obnoxious. The boards leading to the room on the balcony were worn and looked as if they would collapse at anytime. They also did not advertise the fact that they didn't have an elevator. They charged me for a night's stay anyway even though I refused to stay there. Shame on you people, how about taking the time to fix the place up, I'll never, ever make this mistake again. Folks read the reviews, and believe what you read . Replace that dirty ,molded carpet with vinyl flooring. Don't stay at this place, you won't like it and they don't care because they will keep your money. 0 stars from me.

It was an ok place to stay. Great location but we were on the 3rd floor and the shower was not good. The air conditioning makes the room full of moisture. The staff is great! Beds are small but comfortable and they had great pillows. Oh and be aware..... there is no elevator.

Pictures are slightly deceiving. Loved the location, tight on the beach, lots of outdoor space. Unfortunately some of the outdoor furniture is broken. The rooms are run down, carpet torn, curtains off the tracks, but they were clean. People clearly smoke (pot) in these rooms which isn't the hotel's fault, but it aggravated my asthma. Vending machine didn't work but ice machine had ice. Bedding, towels, and bathroom were very clean. Housekeeping does a great job.

When I arrived there was a dried up, used wash cloth left in the bathroom - if that was there, what other shortcuts did they take when supposedly \"cleaning\" the bathroom and room. On my last day there, there was an odor of vomit infused heat activated decades old garbage and a liquid path of something disgusting extending all the way from the top floor decking and down two sets of stairs. When I mentioned these things at the front desk no one seemed to care either time.

There was very dark colored mold in several places on walls and ceilings. Had to purchase bleach spray to clean it. Wiped the bathroom floor with a white towel and it was black. In four days room service changed our towels once. The room smelled moldy and musty. Even my son said it smelled bad. They don't clean this place at all. People also sit in front of your entry door to smoke. Didn't help the smell in the room. I do not recommend Seabonay for anyone to stay.
