Seaside Oceanfront Inn

My boyfriend and I were incredibly disappointed in our stay at the Seaside Oceanfront Inn. We booked an oceanfront jacuzzi suite (supposedly their most luxurious room for almost $ 300 a night) in the hopes of having ourselves a romantic getaway. Upon arrival, we were told that sorry, the gas fireplace in our room doesn’t actually turn on. Really? So much for fireside romance, but no biggie, we were flexible and excited for some jacuzzi-​soaking, so we checked in. Never will we do so again. The décor is incredibly tacky and outdated, and nothing like the photos on the website (did they photoshop those, or what?). Okay, bummer, but at least we’ve got that big jacuzzi tub… but oh, wait, THE JETS DON’T ACTUALLY TURN ON! No jets, just a big ol’ bathtub, where we felt like a couple of toddlers at bath time. Super disappointing. Speaking of toddlers, the walls were so thin that we could clearly hear the toddlers next door throughout our stay. The room was not quiet or romantic at all. Additionally, we tried to resolve an issue with the owner, and she was completely rude and condescending, offering no customer service or apologies for our experience whatsoever. Don’t stay here, unless you have a thing for early 90’s décor and throwing money away.

I thought this place was so beautiful. The room was so huge more then I could ever ask for. and the view from our room was so amazing.

We had a nice weekend stay through a Living Social deal. The building is obviously older but recently renovated inside; has a weird floor plan. No complaints about the room unless you simply must have a closet. Right on the promenade. The enclosed restaurant Maggie’s was good for lunch. The staff was friendly. Would return.

My husband, my daughter, and I stayed in the clock tower room… The view is amazing but the décor/​fixtures are really outdated. Also, we found little black pubic looking hairs all over both beds. I don’t think they even washed the sheets. Disgusting! We paid $ 249 for our room. Way overpriced! It’s annoying that we had to park across the street as well. We will not be staying here again. The restaurant/​bar downstairs closes at 9? Wtf.

I’m very disappointed in my stay here for multiple reason. First I was told that when I booked the restaurant would be reopened that’s why I waited 2 months before booking, understand that construction can take longer then expected so didn’t let that ruin trip. Next tried to turn on fireplace to find out didn’t work made sure it was plugged in and it was into a burned up socket thank god we checked and unplugged immediately I’m 6 months pregnant and don’t need to be running for my life because of an electrical fire! Next morning went to take shower and the entire knob was broken off making it very difficult to even turn water on. Then to make matters worse the door from bathroom to room got stuck and I couldn’t get out my mother had to rip open door from other side! I couldn’t imagine if I was alone and had to wait till housekeeping came to get me out! I spoke to manager and he seemed very pleasant said he would credit a small amount for our troubles, never got credit or call as to why. I called myself because I left something in the room they said they would ship it and still haven’t received. I live 2 hours away in same state very disappointed in quality and service. Not a business of integrity or customer service.

Very disappointing for the $$. View and tub highlights, otherwise pretty funky and outdated.

Pretty nice room that was recently remodeled. It would have been great to know that their lounge and restaurant was closed BEFORE we paid for the room.
If you want to sleep in, go somewhere else or come to an agreement with the room above you. Floors so thin you hear every footstep from above.

I want to give this place five stars, but the bed was terrible. The front desk staff says new beds are coming with the remodels they are doing, if that happens we will be back, be sure to ask if the beds are new before booking. Everything thing else was wonderful. We loved the room, the jetted tub, the view. They have new front desk/​office for check in, so the past reviews that say you need to check in at the restaurant are now incorrect. The staff was very friendly, the room was very clean. Overall everything was as expected. The restaurant is currently under renovations, the hotel notified us of this way ahead of time and provided information on other local restaurants.

I’ve never written a sad review. Either elation or anger drive me to write reviews.
I guess my sadness is because we’re on our honeymoon. We looked for a quiet place to spend time together reading and relaxing.
This hotel claims to be «the contemporary beachfront boutique hotel». Contemporary is the last word I would use to describe this hotel.
Beachfront, yeah. Amenities, none really. Décor, mismatched and outdated. Bed, awful. We took off the liner because it sounds like a diaper on the very uncomfortable mattress. We are staying in the «queen spa suite». Not a suite. Very cramped. No closet either. The pictures online look great!
Besides the general mood of the hotel and outdated everything, I’m mostly sad because their cancellation policy is pretty crazy and I’d love to cancel right about now. We wanted a quiet place to call home for a few days, to read, to relax. The construction they’ve been doing on the building is loud and prevents us from really enjoying our stay here. We’re constantly redirected to different ways of exiting because «this area is closed». We were never alerted of our stay being shared with window replacements, drilling, a cherry picker loudly running all day and glass shattering, until after we paid for the room at the front desk.
I’m just sad. Days that I cannot get back.

Awesome place to stay. Very quaint with unique rooms. Loved the room called «Whale watcher» great view of the rolling dunes in front of the full view of the ocean. Although the restaurant was a bit pricey, the ambiance was so charming. Very friendly staff. Thank you Kendra for great service with a smile. Also this was a great place for dogs. I can eat a relaxing meal while having my dog at the same time. One suggestion would be to have an outside hose to wash of the dog after playing on the beach. But overall I would highly recommend this hotel to any beach lover.

We were very excited to come back here here for our 8 year wedding anniversary as we came and stayed here for our 5 year wedding anniversary 3 years ago and had a great experience, unfortunately 3 years later we didn’t have that same great experience and were pretty disappointed. First off, the entry way carpet when you come in to check in smelled really bad. Secondly, I called over a month in advance to make a reservation and I made sure to ask specifically if our room would have a hot tub in the actual room where the bed was and I was told it would, so I was ok with just a partial ocean view for the price, but when we checked in, it turned out that we did not get one of the rooms with the jacuzzi tub in the room, but instead it was a jetted tub in the bathroom… my heart sank, but I wasn’t going to let that ruin our 8 year wedding anniversary, so I started to fill up the jetted tub… the water wasn’t even luke warm so I got dressed and went downstairs to tell the front desk… they suggested I try turning the faucet towards the cold in order to get hot water, because supposedly sometimes they get set up backwards or something crazy. I told him I tried running the water both ways and neither way gave me hot water, so he sent his maintenance guy up very promptly, which was nice & he fixed the problem, so I finally got my hot jacuzzi bath. The fleece blanket on our bed smelled really bad and I don even think it was washed before we got to the room. The bed was very uncomfortable and my back still hurts from just sleeping on it for one night. For the same price, the night before, we stayed at Hi Tide Resort next store and although their bathrooms and kitchen were outdated, I would have rather stayed their another night for the same price… the bed was more comfortable, we had an amazing oceanfront view, a deck to sit on, they had a complete kitchen, gas fireplace, indoor hot tub and spa AND a continental breakfast. I felt that we got way more for our money! Unfortunately, I don’t think we will ever stay at this hotel again. When I told the people at the front desk that we were told we would have a jacuzzi tub in our actual room all they said was that they wish that they weren’t so booked so that we could have had the room we wanted available… that didn’t really make me feel any better, but you live and learn. If you don mind a little outdatedness and want to get more for your money, stay at Hi Tide Resort instead! You won’t be disappointed!

I’d like to give it more stars but we had a few issues that I won’t go into details about. With that being said, whenever anything went wrong the staff was very helpful in correcting the problems. We had a nice room, however it was advertised as a queen bed and it was only a full. All in all a pretty decent place to stay.

We had an amazing time here. The room was amazing great view of the ocean and very clean. The restaurant was great also has amazing views. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone staying at seaside.

Came to stay for a long weekend and I’m not sure my back will ever be the same. The bed was visibly «wavy» and uneven. The bathroom was a nice turquoise from the 70’s. One window had no screen and the other had a screen that was torn. the table between the two chairs was old and when you tried to move the table the leg about fell off. There was a nice electric fireplace, yet the pilot light was about an inch high and for someone that needs a dark room to sleep, it made it difficult. Had a piece of cake and the following day, the plate with a couple of bites left had not been taken out when the room was cleaned. Was quite an adventure… one I will not forget nor repeat. The room had wifi but it was spotty at best.
Save your money and find someplace else.

I’ve never heard of this place and needed an ocean view hotel, so I decided to give this place a chance and book a reservation. I got to say the place is very clean, beautiful, modern interior and the staffs are very helpful. I love and enjoyed the Jacuzzi in my bathroom, the short distant to the beach, and the restaurant down stair. I maded a request for a medium size cake with real whip cream and for it to be sponge cake (a lot to ask for). The staff’s who helped me were very patient and to my surprise I got everything I wanted! Awesome! The cake was perfect! Instead of going out for dinner I decided to order room service for the first time and I got to say they impress me once again. The food smelled excellent and tasted wonderful! The surfer and turf was so yummy! The 5 oz fillet mignon was perfect. I had it medium rare and the meat was not chewy or dry at all. I thought I needed salt but the seasoning was perfect already. Among with the rest I order, like their clam chowder in a bread bowl, calamari, salad with some vingerate dressing, and their New York Strip. The only down fall was that the food were somewhat cool when I received them. If they were still hot it would of been perfect overall with my experience here. But I would definitely return and will in the future. I highly recommend this hotel and the room I got called Seaside Beach to anyone. Definitely really romantic just be aware there will be people walking back and forth on the board walk.

Run down! Do not rely on the pictures from the website as they are misleading! They show the one nicest room. Our room was NOTHING like the pictures! Not even close.
Pros
— Staff nice you feel sorry they have to work at this crappy «hotel»
Cons
— Picture yourself in a MOTEL
— beds are spring and you can hear them
— you can hear through the walls.. .every toilet flush from other rooms, footsteps in the hallway, TV from another room, Music from the restaurant downstairs
— green carpet! I wore my socks around because I didn’t want my feet touching the floor
— wonky TV high up on the dresser
— false advertising
— very little parking.. .like 2 spots, you have to park on the street of across the street
— heater is VERY loud blowing
— no closets
— bathrooms.. yuck.

I reserved a room here for my birthday weekend in February, they charged a 30% deposit to my credit card. I decided I wanted to go to Lincoln City instead, so I called to cancel the reservation on 1÷14÷15. No refund as of 1÷23÷15, called and was told it can take 10 days. Won’t be reserving here again. I think that is a ridiculous amount of time to get my deposit back when I cancelled greater than 30 days before my arrival. And a ridiculous amount to charge for a deposit!

Major Disappointment
Pros
— room service (George was nice)
— restaurant on main floor (apple crisp very good)
— prom access
— early check in
Cons
— no laundry bag
— no closet
— no hangers
— no sitting area w/​table
— horrible spring beds, both husband and I woke up with neck & back pain.
— no foyer, hotel guests were able to see me in bed when door was open.
— hallways smelled like pot
— bathroom fan sounded like a sick prop engine, did not turn on for fear of waking guests it was that loud!
— 5 parking spaces close to hotel, the rest are across the street in a separate area.
— had a pet room for an extra deposit w/​no dog treats as all other hotels have had for us.
— was told we would have a jetted tub and separate shower when booked, instead we got a shallow tub.
— check in is at bar front where you’re in the waitresses way while filling out paperwork.
— airbrushed photos of rooms… furniture was worn and shabby looking.
— ‘game room’ was a disappointment (a lot smaller than photo makes it seem)
— restaurant menu changes for dinner at 5pm and does strictly entrees… no burgers, sandwiches, etc. We took our money elsewhere for dinner due to limited menu. Same w/​breakfast. We’re early risers, breakfast not served until 8am.
We had The Seafarer room w/​a partial view. Had a little window to see a tad bit of the ocean other than that, we were staring at an ugly hotel/​lot next door. $ 151 plus $ 25 for a pet during winter months was totally not worth it. Have stayed a Best Western’s with way more amenities and class than this place. And Westin’s for cheaper. Totally feel ripped off. Won’t stay here again.

Good place to stay! Rooms are clean and comfy. The staff from the guy that checked us in at the front desk to servers at Maggie were friendly. We had breakfast and happy hour drinks at Maggie and both times were great. One hitch — couple of hours after we checked out we received a voicemail that told us we were smoking in our room and that they had to charge us extra cleaning fees. Funny thing is my husband nor I don’t even smoke! After a few phone tags, the owner left us another message that they will be reversing the charges. We are just glad the issue has been resolved and that the owner was open enough to listen to our side.

Just don’t stay in seaside…
This hotel is not very nice… The people are great but the hotel is run down… The workmanship of what was fixed up is that of someone with a very limited budget… The hotel is in seaside… not cannon beach like their website depicts… Seaside is equivalent to a run down mission beach CA… Cannon beach is equivalent to Coronado or Carlsbad beach CA… Don’t let the MS-​LEADING advertising fool you…
