We were missing the microwave plate and they immediately changed the whole microwave. The staff were extremely kind and regularly asked us if we were having issues and how we were doing in the town. Absolutely loved staying there and plan to stay there again.

This motel was amazing!! Stayed here for the week of the 4th of July and could not have been happier. There was a kitchenette with a full-sized fridge, clean rooms, plenty of towels, and even 3 locks on the door to assure you feel safe (normal, deadbolt, and a chain lock). Not that you need it because the area felt safe, but it’s nice to have that regardless. About a 5 minute walk to the beach. The staff was above and beyond. They provided us with an extra parking pass we requested, gave us a rundown of the place, and even helped us carry up our luggage to the second floor! I will 100% be staying here again when I return to Seaside.

We couldn't even stay with the bugs. Owner said he would refund me and didn't. Smoking as you walk in to check in.

The room was very clean and it was nice to have a kitchenette and to be able to check in early. However, the tile floor in the kitchen & bath was just mopped right before we checked in and was VERY SLIPPERY and I slipped and almost fell, which could have been VERY BAD!!! A warning would have been nice. Or at least a Wet Floor sign in the room.

We had a comfortable stay. The rooms were clean, the shower pressure was good, the water was hot, and the beds were comfortable. Linen, soap and shampoo were provided, but I recommend bringing hairdryer, moisturizer etc. with you. The room we were in had a microwave, and medium sized fridge, larger than the regular hotel mini-fridge. There was also a gas range, but no utensils. If you're booking the junior suite, and plan on cooking, bring utensils with you. However, there are plenty of places nearby to eat, and that's what we did. Quiet place, not too far from the boardwalk, wouldn't mind staying there again.
