Seaside Inn

We booked a queen suite, which includes a couch and two arm chairs. The room was clean, beds were comfortable (neither hard nor squishy soft), and lighting was excellent (so many hotel rooms have dark or dingy lighting).

I'm giving the service rating a 4 only because we didn't use room service during our 3 days there so I can't comment on it, but the front office staff were extremely nice. It was also great to be walking distance of a few restaurants/shops. The beach at this point is excellent, not crowded at all. And it's immediately south of Coastal Kayak (barely 1/2 mile), so that was an added bonus. We'll definitely return.

Very well taken care of and the rooms are cleaned thoroughly. The owners clearly take pride in this establishment…the pool is adorable and the surrounding plants really make it a welcoming focal point just beyond the front office. Coffee is made all day and it is good! There aren’t any elevators but my family of four managed easily as we were only on the second floor. Each room has a balcony. Although the hotel is on coastal highway we never heard traffic and crickets could be heard walking the side street each evening. The location is a minute walk to the beach, breakfast spots are a block away (try High Tide) a terrific family restaurant is directly across the street (Warren’s Station). One night we were without our kids so husband and I ate at Our Harvest a few blocks away—it was the best food we had all summer!! We were only booked for three days but there was a flyer in the door offering a special to extend our stay!! We did and feel that we will stay here again when we are back at the beach!

This is not a “5 star” luxury hotel, but it is worth a 5 star rating for being a budget-friendly hotel that will likely meet your needs for a clean, comfortable stay near the beach. I love that the room doesn’t have grimy carpets. They are basic, but modern and clean. While I would have loved a coffee maker in the room, the office pot of coffee was just fine. Friendly staff, cute “retro/vintage” feel. I don’t think that is what they are going for, but it’s just a well-maintained older property. Short drive to Bethany (our family’s preferred area here) and short walk to beach. We have stayed here 4 times and likely will in the future.
