Seaview Motel

We only spent one night here, but I wish we'd stayed longer. It's charming and unusual, with cozy beds and friendly staff, and the price was great for somewhere so close to the beach and pier. Even in late July, we were comfortable with the windows open and a fan, despite there being no air-conditioning. We hadn't noticed the kitchenette and little dining space until we got into the room. We didn't use the kitchen, but it was a nice extra. I'd stay again and recommend it for good beachside value.

Across the street from the beach and pier, this was the cheapest hotel around, and I was very satisfied. I stayed in room #4, which was clean, and everything else was great too. The owners were really nice and friendly. I'd seen complaints about the attendants' attitude, but that wasn't my experience. The shower head is a bit low, as others have mentioned, but the service and room were great.

Ocean Ave traffic is audible almost all the time, and parking is limited, though we did get a spot and kept it throughout our two-day stay. The place feels older and could use updates, but I liked the open-air layout, and the patio looked like a great place to sit if it hadn't rained the whole time. The room was clean, and for the price the location is the big draw: the beach is an easy walk of five minutes or less. The pier, restaurants, parks, and activities are also nearby. I'd definitely stay again for the price and location.

We left a nice headset in a drawer at checkout and called within three minutes of leaving, but it was already gone. The cleaning staff had just gone into the room, and this is a small place, so they checked right away. We felt deceived and ripped off. The hotel has a distinctive 60s throwback feel, with comfortable beds, an older but classic shower, and a small 60s kitchen stocked for cooking. The shower head is only five feet high, so taller people may have to bend backward. It's in a safe area within walking distance of the beach. The owner encourages paying cash for a discount.
