Sea Breeze Inn

It was interesting... you get what you pay for here and that is proximity to the boardwalk and beach. Overall the AC worked well (after I cleaned the filter), the beds were comfy and the shower had HOT water. Now for the interesting: The light bulb burnt out on the bedside lamp and they literally handed us a light bulb. Initially, we were given 1 set of towels (we booked a double queen for 2 adults), the "towels" were definitely not adult human size towels. You have to take your own trash to the dumpster and go to the desk to get extra bags. We were given 1 key and extras are $25 each (refundable upon return). The floor of the bathroom was tiled with wall tiles so it was a slip and slide getting out of the shower. The outside steps were slick from the rain and definitely had to use caution while descending.

The price and location were right though.

Believe the NEGATIVE reviews. I have worked with the unhoused, and this place needs to be condemned as it is worse than any homeless shelters I have volunteered at. The rooms smell like mold/mildew and smoke. The carpet was always wet. There were other people's hair all over the pillows/beds. Two thin hand towels per room. Underneath the bed I found an empty bowl of food, plastic utensils, my dog found a battery (which she could've swallowed), chips, rotting fruit, etc. The toilet still had someone's fecal matter on the seat and in the bowl. The beds were so gross I slept on top of my beach towels. The lock to the door never worked and I worried about my dog getting out. They placed my dog and I on an upper floor and I had to carry her up/down every potty break because they couldn't put me on the first floor.

My dog began to itch from whatever is in the air there, and I got a sinus infection from the mold/smoke.

I contacted the vendor I booked through the moment I arrived, and I was told no refund. I had to just stick it out for the night or sleep in my car.

When I came home, I had to air out my duffle bag and wash everything as it stunk of the place. UPDATE: I ended up throwing out $200 worth of luggage as the mildew scent would not come out.

This experience taught me to always believe the negative reviews before booking. I wouldn't have paid $10 for this room.

DO NOT stay here! In my almost 50 years, this is the worst place I have ever stayed at.

I rated it a 1-star in general because the place is run down. They should have really remodeled before opening. We literally had to change our room three times! The first room smelled like cigarettes & mold. The second room, I checked under the sheets & there was dirt and blood spots on the comforter. I went to the office to discuss my concern w/ the lady @ the front desk. She suggested another room since we weren't able to get a refund after checking in. I agreed w/ her since it smelled clean & I smelled the bleach. They really should've renovated before the season. Walking to the 2nd floor, a floorboard was lifted. I hope nobody trips because someone can sue!

The lady was really nice regarding my circumstances & the location was only 1 block from the boardwalk. I just wouldn't have chose this place. I wouldn't stay here again. The furniture needs to be replaced, the wallpaper needs to be painted, the beds need new mattresses, etc, etc.
