The Sea View Inn at the Beach

Room 303 is not worth the price that it is being offered $250 per night. Maybe $185. Although it is called Sea View this should be called back parking lot view. The room was small, in the back of the hotel and not up to quality. As soon as I turned on the shower, the handle broke. Then the Remote for the TV would not work properly. We were totally disappointed. We did upgrade the next day to a much better room on the ocean side room 206, which had a beautiful view. But considering how disappointed I was with the price and condition of room 303, I would think that they would have given me the upgrade for free instead of charging an extra $40. That would have made me a 100% satisfied customer. But here we are now with a less than stellar review. I would have raved about this place if it was not for charging me an upgrade. I do have to say that the front desk guy were nice though.

FANTASTIC inn right up the hill from the beach. Loved that you are able to rent a bunch of items to help you enjoy the beach all day. Only wish they would upgrade the toiletries as it’s IMPOSSIBLE to open the packets they give you.

I love that I could walk to beach and town! Felt safe travelling alone and the owners were so nice and helpful!

The unit I was in was a bit beat up. Furniture was dinged, fixtures had rust on them. The toilet seat was dinged. Lots of little things that added up to giving me the impression that this facility needed a bit of a makeover. Also, the coffee maker was the size of a large water bottle, the cups were Styrofoam, coffee-mate, was the only thing offered for creamer, shampoo, and conditioner was provided in small plastic packets. You can’t get cheaper than that. The towels were clean, and soft, so I give them points for that. on the positive side, the location is excellent and Eddie at the front desk was welcoming and kind. If you can overlook the condition of the unit, you’ll have a pleasant stay. The parking is convenient, and easy, and offers In-N-Out privileges, but I wasn’t told that there would be a $20 parking fee when I made the reservation. The agent dismissed the charge. Would I stay here again? Yes, absolutely, if the price wasn’t $285 but rather $200. That’s what I think. The accommodation is worth based on travel and stays in the area.

Stayed her for a couple of nights. Front desk staff were kind, patient and helpful. The room was small but doable. Set up was a bit odd w/one bedside table only and the reading light on the opposite side of the bedside table.

It’s reasonable in price and close to the beach. They have free beach amenities and you can walk to really good restaurants.

Not the “Ocean View” advertised at all. Please be aware that if you request the Ocean View, you may get a nice building view instead. I was very surprised when I entered my hotel room and could only see a building in front of me. Could I see some ocean? Sure, slivers to the left and right, between buildings and trees, but nothing like what is shown online. I did ask nicely downstairs if I could get the room I paid for and the receptionist denied my request, saying I already had an ocean view and the other rooms were booked. I’m sorry but I compared what I had (second floor room, only small pockets of ocean visible) with what is advertised online (a consistent horizon line of ocean in front of you, only partially blocked by buildings) and I’m sorry but I really do think I was gypped out of what I paid for. I do think the room I had was clean, but why bother lying to people about this? Just tell them it’s an obstructed view only…I’m sure I’m not the first one to be disappointed by this and there’s still a lot of great reasons to bloom a stay here. But lying about the view? Why? If the hotel argues against this in a reply comment, I’m happy to send a photo I took from my room for anyone to compare with what’s on the website. Plain and simple: it’s false advertising.

I really enjoyed staying at this property and the view from our room was amazing. Its a great place to stay for families. It was spacious, clean, and convenient. The restaurants around the area are affordable and yummy and definitely look forward to my next stay.

Sea View Inn is a wonderful place to stay. Great staff. Easy access to bikes & beach. Walkable to everything. Will stay there again.
