    What a great location. Room was clean and adequate, a few subtle changes could improve things
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Standard Queen Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Bed was old and collapsed, needs replacing. Room was small and bathroom was an after thought with curtains in a wet room being an interesting choice. Room lighting was poor, need a better solution that just a couple of lamps.

    Clean and in a great location

    I expected more from the breakfast in this price category, it was a banana, yoghurt and a pastry. Bathroom was a little small

    Great location, easy parking, large room and very comfortable bed

    No soap in the bathroom. The room smelled moldy. No staff at reception, they left earlier than they closed the reception and were also late in the morning…

    The location is perfect and everything looks nice.

    Great place to stay if you want to be steps away from the ocean
    • With a pet
    • Leisure trip

    • Standard King Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Rooms are slightly rundown/outdated. There is not good insulation between, so we could hear every single time our upstairs neighbor moved around on our first night/morning there. Was impossible to sleep in past 7am as a result. Highly recommend booking a 2nd floor room to avoid this noise.

    Loved how close to the beach we were. The second night we were relocated to the top floor due to a leak on the bottom floor. The view of the ocean from the top floor balcony was fantastic. We saw dolphins in the water the next morning!

    Stayed for nostalgic family reasons but wouldn't go back.
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Junior Suite with Balcony
    • Stayed 2 nights

    At almost $500 per night you would expect a quiet suite, well appointed and supplied appropriately for the party. The coffee maker is the cheapest one cup model you can buy and came with the lowest quality generic coffee you can buy. The complementary coffee in the lobby was decaf or highly flavored only. There weren't enough towels for our reserved party of four (only three supplied) and there weren't enough pillows or blankets for our party - although to be fair, when requested the front desk staff to rush all of these things over. The bathroom door was so warped that it could not be closed. There were one water glass, one champagne flute and two wine glasses provided for our party of two adults and two children. There was so much noise coming from the room(s) above us, throughout the day, that we thought there was remodeling going on - but apparently it was just other guests moving furniture around all day and night - the front desk staff did call and ask them to stop which helped a little but not much.

    People were nice, property is close to Agate Street Beach which is a protected marine park and very beautiful. Staff responded quickly to my requests for basic amenities (eg drinking glasses, enough towels for our party) in the suite that were not provided by default. Suggestion for required maintenance was well received. The ocean could be seen from our balcony. There was a fridge.

    Pillows could've be a little more comfortable and the bathroom didn't have very much ventilation. Other than that, no complaints!

    The location was perfect! Not too far from the shops and the beach was just right there! The room we had was the perfect size and very cute.

    Sweet Inn!

    While the bathroom was clean it was small. There is no room to put your stuff - a small shelf above the sink would be lovely. Our bathroom has a shower in the bathtub. I wanted to take a bath but could not find a way to fill it. You can only turn on the shower. Also, due to a back injury, it is very hard for me to climb over the tub side without holding onto something. The only thing I could hold on to was the sink (not the best thing). A bar would be so helpful for so many people, not just me. I do not need an accessable room, just a safety bar. The heater worked very well ... After we spent 30 mins trying to figure it out. We found general instructions on the Internet and after lots of trial and error, got it. Instructions would be handy. One last thing - the light switch by the door was not connected to the 2 lamps in the room. Coming in at night means you have to enter a dark room, get to a light to manually turn on. For safety reasons please connect the switch to a light.

    This is an old building that has been an Inn for over 50 years. This current owner did a wonderful job upgrading the look and feel of the place. The rooms are small but functional. I appreciate the mini fridge and microwave as we like to bring a few food items for breakfast and late night snacks. The staff were super friendly and helpful. My special request was taken care of immediately. The room and the bathroom were immaculately clean - the floors are a new vinyl laminate and I felt comfortable walking barefoot. The balcony was large with comfortable chairs and a small table. Great place to sit and enjoy the sun and sound of the ocean. Yes I had an ocean view - there is a small road with 3 houses (one under construction) between the Inn & the ocean so you can't see the beach. Luckily the house under construction was not currently having any work done. The view of the ocean was lovely. And you can hear the waves perfectly as well as some traffic noise from the Coast Highway on the other side. The beach is a short walk from the Inn with a great view& new stairs. Depending on the year and tide, you can be on a long stretch of beach. As we were here the weekend prior to Valentine's Day, we were offered a wine tray as a welcome gift our first night here. Sadly we couldn't take them on it as we don't drink wine. Maybe consider a non-alcoholic gift for those like us? We were very happy with the Seaside Inn. If you are looking for a hotel that's modern & new with lots of electronic features, this is not for you. This place is quaint, old yet refreshed, clean with kind people and a sweet dog. We will come back again.

    Cozy Stay with A Ocean View
    • Business trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Standard Queen Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The room is a bit cold at night. Double checked that there is no heater and the quilt cover is a bit thin. Couldn't figure out how to turn on the shower (maybe it's on me)

    The place is very cozy and nice. Staff are very nice and helpful when I confirmed my late check-ins. Plenty parking on site so you don't have to worry about that. The extra surprise goes to the free little breakfast provided and the ocean view in my room (yes you have a little ocean view when you wake up in the morning).

    It sits alongside the main highway, so there is traffic noise.

    Good parking, friendly helpful welcome by reception, nice breakfast (hot drink/pastry/piece of fruit included) and access to hot drinks at other times. Clean room and bathroom. Heater in room if needed. Easy walk to local shops and beaches/rock pools. They hire out beach towels, umbrellas etc for a small charge.
