    The whole story in a nutshell

    For our weekend escape, this hotel had it all, easy check-in and plenty of parking. Our room was clean, featuring a fridge and microwave, which came in handy. The staff was friendly and accommodating, enhancing our experience. Just a short drive from attractions, it’s a solid budget choice for a fun getaway.

    modernization needed

    Perfect location for family trips

    I recently stayed for 2 nights and found the location to be ideal for exploring the nearby attractions with my family. The staff were exceptionally accommodating, especially with our request for adjacent rooms. We appreciated that the motel was pet-friendly, allowing us to bring our small dogs along without any hassle. However, I did notice that the bathrooms could use some modernization, as there were hints of wear and tear in that area.

    loud cleaning staff

    I loved the clean and comfortable room, which featured a small balcony that provided fresh air and a pleasant view. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making my stay that much more enjoyable.

    Improved bathroom fan for quieter operation would be nice.

    decent location
    pet-friendly lodging
    unpleasant odor

    The hotel's location is decent, close to a few shops and eateries, making it easy to grab supplies. The pet-friendly policy allows furry companions to stay, which is a bonus for travelers with pets in tow.

    The experience left much to be desired. The persistent odor in the room clung to everything, likely absorbed by the carpeting from prior guests. While a pool might appeal to some, it didn't seem well-maintained, and the balcony right above it was a hotspot for rowdy gatherings, which made for uncomfortable lounging. I felt uneasy with questionable individuals loitering around, and keeping the curtains shut became necessary. Poor views and odd cleanliness issues are not my idea of a relaxing getaway.

    Recommend it for family with children

    Staff was wonderfully kind, which was a relief after a long drive. they made us feel welcome right away.

    It wasn’t exactly a steal, but it was still acceptable for what we were looking for.

    delicious dining

    close to parks and great dining options for weekend fun

    I really loved being just a few steps away from both Dennis the Menace Park and delicious restaurants like Chopstix, which made my weekend adventures so much more enjoyable and convenient, allowing me to spend more time exploring the beautiful surroundings instead of commuting.

    strange smell

    Had a good experience overall with a clean room and convenient parking. The bed was comfortable, but the bathroom could use a thorough cleaning, and there was a strange smell in the shower. The staff was friendly, though, making the stay pleasant.

    dog friendly

    It was just a commendable fit for a weekend stopover in Seaside with very good value for money. The best part was being able to bring my dog along, which made the trip that much better. If you need gas, there's a Costco station right nearby.

    I booked a two-night stay and encountered numerous issues. No functioning phone or TV added to our frustration. Safety concerns arose all night due to loud disturbances outside and strange activity in the parking lot. I'd recommend looking elsewhere for peace of mind.
