Seabonay Oceanfront Motel

The bad reviews are from people expecting. the Ritz hotel. My honest opinion: It was a nice little family run hotel. It was clean, had all the things I needed, good size room and the location was perfect ( right on beach). The management was nice and let me check in a little early. You can’t compare this to the Hilton, and you are not being charged for the Hilton either. I firmly believe in giving local family owned businesses my money. This 56 yr old retired military grandma recommends this hotel!! 😊

Location is 5 stars. You are right at the end of the boardwalk, access right to the beach, and ocean view is priceless. Other than that, we won’t be back. You get one parking pass for a lot that is shared with other hotels and only has maybe 15 spots. There is no elevator and stair access is in only one location, you could only wash the sand off INSIDE of the pool area, and that closes at 8pm. Don’t even try to get towels or room service, we asked multiple times and no one ever came. (1 star). The rooms are NOTHING like the pictures. We had burned out bulbs, dead battery in the smoke alarm, which never got replaced, the outlets in the wall were not secure and the faceplates were broken. The “common are” is the front office which is the size of a cubical. By the way that looked, I was not drinking the coffee. Even though we spent most time outside, the tv was terrible, fuzzy and 10-15 channels worked. Good luck!

The online pictures of the room are nothing like reality, there is no balcony, just a walkway,
Be sure to bring Lysol and cleaning products, the bathrooms are not clean and smell, bring Clorox. The maid service is not to par, they do not clean the tub, sink, or toilet. They only changed the sheets on one bed, they do not replenish soap, shampoo, and cond like advertised. I had to go buy my own. The rooms are so old and out dated, and the window coverings, I wouldn't use to change my oil in my car. What we paid to stay here was expensive. I can say the employees were so pleasant and nice!! The pool was very clean and kept spotless. The rooms, never again. I wouldn't recommend this place , was not relaxing for me one bit, couldn't wait to go home and shower!!
