We really enjoyed our stay at the Seaway Inn. Tim at the front desk was super helpful in making sure we were comfortable. The room was super clean and free parking was awesome! So close to everything. We will definitely be staying there again :)

2/10 Poor

Not worth the money.
A dog in the room next to us, was barking all night & kept us up, Paper thin walls. Felt like the dog was in our room. Horrible customer service . No one on staff from midnight to 8 am! Hotel seems unfinished and under construction
Lisa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice, spacious room. I’m a local who occasionally rooms at this affordable hotel to walk to the wharf for a sunset dinner and stroll on West Cliff for the beautiful sunrise, also across the ocean this time of year.

A Good Choice
Considering all of the prices around this area, this is the best deal, easily.

8/10 Very good

Very cute and clean! Very nice staff accommodating… Location is excellent just walks from the beach boardwalk, shops, and restaurants! When booking request if you want up or downstairs. Try to bring your own water bottles if possible cause it’s $1.25 each. We brought snacks too for when we got hungry at night as there is no room service. Enjoy.

2/10 Poor

Very poor, check in took almost 30 minutes for no reason other than the front desk clerk didn’t know what he was doing. Toiled did not work. Shower made crazy loud sound as if someone was drilling in the wall and this is an understatement. They had makeup remover wipes which I thought ok at least they have this only to open the wipe and find out it’s dried out and old / not usable. Air was stale. Lots of damage that had to be repaired / rust around doors and bath tiles etc. multiple hair pieces on the bath floor, fogotten used towel from prior clients. Odd sliding doors to enter the room. Unacceptable. It’s worse than motel 8. Really.
