"The hotel itself is pretty minimalist but the beds were comfortable and the hotel is in a convenient location near a shopping district, restaurants and gas stations so you don't have to venture far for any needed amenities."

“In Seaside, this option presents budget-conscious lodging. While upkeep appears consistent, reports suggest service inconsistencies and potential noise issues could affect stays. It's a straightforward base for exploring the area, but manage expectations.”

Room FeaturesBalcony Bonus

I enjoyed the cozy room and the awesome balcony. It was a nice bonus. I had more light in the third floor room, due to high ceiling.
