Inn at Seaside

For the amount we paid here compared to our other hotels during our road trip, this was by far the best one, and easily gets a 5 star status from me. I don’t ask for a lot with hotels since I don’t do much besides sleep in the rooms, but I stayed up a few extra hours to experience the room a little longer.
Upon entering the room, what impressed me the most I would say was the restroom. That was unique all in itself. For the bathroom door, it was a sliding door as opposed to a traditional hinged door. Instead of giving us the traditional small bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and lotion, and the bar of soap, they had dispensers for all those things, which I personally love since it cuts down on the use of plastic bottles. We got s king size bed and the Ned was extremely comfortable and the set up for the tv and all the furniture was really nice.
Checking in was a fast, easy process. The front desk clerks were so kind and stuck up a small conversation with us. One thing that stood out the most about this inn was that they had a library of movies to watch and check out if we wished to view any of them, and the best part is that it’s free! All you have to do is return it in the morning or whenever you finish watching. That’s quite hospitable if you ask me!
The breakfast I would say is middle tier. They had a toaster to heat up their bread options and they had some cereal, yogurt, fruit, boiled eggs, juice, and coffee. It sucks they didn’t have hot food like eggs and such, but it’s better than what we had at most of our other stays.
I definitely would love to come back here if I came back to Seaside. I recommend this place, especially if you are on a budget.

Could not say enough about this gem. Last minute resvervation coming in from the last leg of a long road trip. Wonderful price for clean, inviting, welcoming hospitality. Many perks… no nickel and diming. Friendly and helpful staff (all smiling and cheery, from front desk to houskeeping). Sustainable, eco friendly without cutting corners for patrons and guests. AM Continental breakfast was the best we experienced in last several days… pleasantly surprised. Capped off the Am checkout with a gratis 20 minute bicyle ride on the promenade thanks to this thoughtfull accomadation. Would not only reccommend but will likely be a future guest myself.

I would not book here again. Staff was nice. Beds are comfy enough although I itch just reading some of the reviews. My biggest issue was the pool. It is tiny and the hot tub has been filled with concrete. It was a good last minute deal that allows pets and the kids are happy but absolutely never again.

PLEASE BE AWARE! I CHECK YOUR BANK ACCOUNT AS SOON AS YOU GIVE THEM YOUR CARD TO PUT ON HOLD UPON CHECKIN! I go to Seaside every Presidents day weekend with my family. This year we decided to stay @ Inn at Seaside what a mistake. We have stayed the last previous years @ the Worldmark, River inn suites & Riverside Suites & are way much nicer & cleaner hotels. Worth spending a bit more.
When I checked in I gave my debit card to put on hold which is usual at every hotel, We checkin in on February 14 & Checked out on the 15^th, As soon as I got home i checked my account & was charged $ 82.84. I thought maybe it was just a hold on my card, I gave it 3 days & checked my account & saw the charge had posted. I immediately called the hotel & a very rude receptionist called CANDACE answered. I asked her why i was being charged $ 82.84 & she told me that I had gone on there website & booked another stay from Feb 15 – 16. I told her it was impossible I had never gone on there website to book, I had booked the previous stay on expedia & I checked out on the 15^th & on my way home. After arguing with her she finally deiced to pull up the contract & what a surprise it was never signed. Because i never stayed on that day. She they said Oh i will just credit your account & it would take up to 7 business days. I asked for her to email me the contract of the stay. I gave it 8 days till i finally called & still my account had not been credited. CANDACE answered & told me it could take up to 10 days & to contact SHERRY which is the manager. So i gave it a couple more days & no credit on my account. So when i called back a couple days later CANDACE answered again & said we already credited your account. U had a cc# number on file under the name Norma Smith. & your card ends with 1926, I told her I did not know who that was & my credit card does not end with those 4 number. She then told me that i would need to talk to this SHERRY which she is never there & told me she wouldn’t be available till SUNDAY which it was only TUESDAY. I then was trying to explain to here that u guys credited the wrong person but CANDACE was so rude that she did not card. I wanted to get it resolved with the hotel first before i called my bank & told them I did not authorize that charge. So anybody staying PLEASE be aware of the credit card u put on file & check your bank account.
Pros–
Hotel rooms are big
Free Taffy in room
Cons–
Rooms smell old & humid, & pet hairs all around the room
Showers had human hair all over
They promote fresh baked cookies in early evening, only do one batch & would not make any more
Pool is real small, to many people at one time

We stayed here on our last night of a road trip up the coast. Check in was a breeze and there were fresh baked chocolate chip cookies available! The Inn offers movies for borrowing on a trust system which I thought was really cool. We borrowed Life of David Gale and enjoyed that after our dinner in town. The bed was very comfortable and the room was very clean and well appointed with a mini fridge and microwave. Shampoo/​conditioner/​body wash dispensers were in the shower which was nice to not have to deal with the tiny bottles that some hotels provide.
The continental breakfast was ok, nothing too special, but nice to get a bite before heading out. Only downfall was a basketball tournament for 8 – 12 year olds was in town so there were tons of kids running around and using the pool, so we passed on that. Definitely not the hotel’s fault.
We have already decided that we want to come back and stay here again!

Let’s hear it for fresh, warm chocolate chip cookies at check in on a cold, rainy day! Same day reservation still garnered us a corner room on the 3^rd floor with a view of the river. Great service from staff — both the reservationist and at check in. Room is comfortable and clean. Maybe a bit dated but fully loaded with plenty of linens, micro, and a frig that’s actually cold inside. Would definitely stay here again.

We love this hotel. They put up groupons all the time and i always try to snag one! Great location (behind parking lot to carousel mall). They allow dogs and cater with fun basket of treats, doggie towels and sheets and a food/​water dish. Decent continental breakfast, your basic bagels, muffins, bananas. Staff is super friendly. They let you rent dvds on a trust basis. Small pool, but at least they have one. I feel they go above and beyond to make sure their guests are happy!

You can tell they’re remodeling or tried to. Bed was nice. Besides that not much. Tv had a crack in it. Bathroom was super out dated. Fan light combo switch was annoying cause the fan is loud. Toilet made a loud flush noise randomly. Super irritating at night. Shower head was nice pressure and height yet not wide. Had to turn sideways to fit in and I’m not a large set person. Had a soap, conditioner, body soap machine. Disgusting considering kids or someone could pee in it. Cleaning between our two nights consisted of just making the bed and new towels. Oh and to top it off my girlfriend went to use the blanket in the closet which was covered in sand. So first night was spent in sandy sheets. Breakfast was not that great. Selection was a nice try, but done wrong

Bed bugs. We are all bitten up when we woke up… On first look there Nothing ‘wrong’ with this little hotel, but nothing special either. It is about like any other mid range hotel… The bathrooms are teeny. Like, it’s difficult to close the door and still use the toilet teeny… They have complimentary taffy which is nice and a selection of dvds in the lobby you can take back to your room to watch. The front desk was appropriate however it was clear she didn’t like or enjoy her job or this city with all the tourists. The morning breakfast is bread products and juice or coffee, nothing spectacular… but, it is a block away from down town and two blocks from the beach. So, it’s good for what it is. Don’t have high expectations if you stay here.

Most Comfortable Beds!!! I repeat, most comfortable beds. And incase I forget to tell you, they have the most comfortable beds. Well worth the money. We walked in and paid less then off the internet. Plus they have the most comfortable beds! Lol. SOFT. :)

Comfy beds. Amazing staff. Clean and I’m very picky. The WIFI connection was very weak. Never saw the cookies everyone is speaking of… however I need to Lose weight.
I would come back.

We chose this hotel because it was listed as pet friendly but they went above and beyond our expectations in every way. The front desk clerk was extremely friendly and helpful and gave us a little basket full of dog essentials (towel, sheet for the bed, treats, dog bowl). The suite was clean and spacious and they has DVD players with every tv and lots of dvd’s to check out in the front lobby. Our kids loved the pool and we’re really excited about the little bags of taffy on each bed. Breakfast was adequate, toast, bagels, cereal, fruit, yogurt. And it was all a five minute walk from the beach and a short drive from Ecola State Park. We loved it and will definitely stay here again when we are in the area.

Extremely clean and we’ll kept rooms. Popcorn and cookies in the evening. Free DVDs. I didn’t have expectations as purchased this on Groupon, but I will definitely return. This hotel is within walking distance to Broadway and most of the restaurants and the beach.

Very clean. The staff is friendly. I always say you pay for what you get. I would definitely stay here again. We stayed at a lot of inns and motels on our trip and compared to all of those this one felt like a 5 star resort.
It’s about 2 blocks from the beach. Our kids brought their scooters and we had a great walk with the kids to the beach each day.
The pool is very small. But my kids had it to themselves every night.

+ Free cookies. Very clean. Nice staff. Decent breakfast (eggs, bagels, toast, juices/​coffee)
— Not waterfront.
I only stayed one (week) night and it was quite cheap. I’ll probably stay here again.

We booked a last minute stay at the Inn at Seaside. Do know from the start this is not a waterfront property and our experience was only for one night.
At check in we were able to check in 2 hours early and we were greeted by 3 very friendly staff members. The bonus amenities that added charm to this cute inn included warm cookies served at 4 (we missed this opportunity), fresh popcorn served between 6 and 8 pm, a large selection of free DVDs for in room viewing and a small bag of taffy with a welcome note from our room attendant.
The staff was pleasant and agreeable to our two requests: (1) a «crib» for our toddler and (2) late check out in case our little man needed to take a late morning nap before we packed up for the day.
Note: the «crib» is a pack n play which is what I brought as a back up in case our request was not fulfilled. However if I did not come prepared with the mattress insert our son would have had to sleep on the original thinly padded particle board that comes with the pack in play.
The bed in the bedroom was comfortable and the sheets/​blankets were soft. Our little suite was exactly what we (thought we) needed to attempt to get some extra sleep with our little guy going to bed at 7:30/8:00 (we’ll leave the irony of what actually took place despite our best efforts for another forum).
The bedroom, living area/​kitchen and bathroom were all clean and appropriately stocked. The room was particularly warm/​humid despite efforts to use the AC/​fan unit in the bedroom and was relatively useless when we had to shut the door during our son’s bedtime/​nap (there was no unit in the living room).
The noise was well contained from the bedroom when the door was shut however from the living area the noise was more noticeable at varying hours of the night/​morning. This was experienced first hand as my husband and I had to retire our futile efforts to sleep on the hide-​a-​bed (see failure of best laid plans to pre-​empt one toddler’s tendency to want to play at ALL hours on vacation vs being the good sleeper that he usually is). Ear plugs were required for me to even fall asleep at 1:45 am in the morning but that is not because the noise was outside of the normal hotel «goings on” – I’m just attuned to ALL noises when I’m over tired.
Breakfast was functional providing plenty of toaster bread type options including bagels and eggo-​type waffles as well as muffins, hard boiled eggs and apples/​bananas. Do not come expecting Holiday Inn or Best Western continental breakfast.
We missed out on the pool due to scheduling issues and our little guys early bedtime/​late morning nap. The pool is open 10 am to 10 pm. It would have been nice to have an opening time of 9 am or earlier allowing us crazy one night visit early to bed and early to rise families to take better advantage of the pool.
Now that I have written a novel and potentially provided more information than necessary. I will summate by stating: overall we had a pleasant and functional stay. We will most likely give Inn at Seaside another try in the future.

This is a great place to stay. The rooms are spacious and have comfortable beds, it’s close to all the shops and the beach, and the staff are all friendly. They have free DVDs and popcorn, as well as cookies and complimentary breakfast.
I would most definitely stay here again. I can tell that they really care about their guests, so if you do have any issues you can rest assured that they will take care of it.

I had a good stay at the Inn at Seaside. Things started off well during check in with Linda who was so awesome. She was super friendly and really welcomed us to the hotel.
The room was clean and the bed comfortable. I loved all the extra touches the hotel had to offer. Chocolate chip cookies upon check in, freshly popped popcorn in the evening, lots of DVDs to borrow if you feel up for a movie, and a note in your room from housekeeping with a bag of taffy. You definitely feel at home here.
Breakfast was adequate. Don’t expect fancy eggs and bacon. It’s very much a continental breakfast of breads, muffins and bagels. There are some hard boiled eggs as well. It’s a bit of a pity especially considering the price you pay.
Yes, it’s not waterfront, but the water and the promenade are so close — a 5 minute walk and you can be in the ocean. Everything was okay, but it wasn’t anything spectacular.

At first glance, I would have put this hotel at 4 stars. The bed was comfortable, the staff seemed friendly enough, the house keepers had even left a welcoming note in the room along with some taffy. I could have even over looked the skimpy breakfast.
But in the middle of the night, we had a major safety concern.
We were woken by a loud knocking at the door and someone running. At first we thought it was just some kids playing a prank because we could also here some kids giggling and some commotion outside. So we were just going to go back to sleep.
After a few minutes, I thought I could hear some kind of alarm. My husband couldn’t hear it at all but got up to get dressed and look outside anyway. He saw some people in the parking lot but it wasn’t clear what was going on. Then one of the hotel people came back around and told us we needed to evacuate the room because the fire alarm was going off. Once we got out to the parking lot, we found many of the other guests had thought the same as us; that it was just kids knocking on the doors and didn’t know the alarm was going off. While we were standing in the parking lot, the employee was still running around knocking on doors even well after the fire truck had arrived.
My problem with this whole situation is that it shouldn’t have been this hard to figure out we needed to evacuate the room. We should have been woken up by the alarm. They do not have an adequate system for notifying guests of an emergency situation so I would not recommend anyone staying here for their safety.

I know — when you book a getaway to Seaside, you probably want an oceanfront room, right? And you’ll probably skip right over the Inn at Seaside, because it’s not on the water. Well, consider this awesome gem for your next vacation and you won’t be sorry!
It was a huge birthday extravaganza with our crazy group of friends, so we booked one of their two bedroom suites to fit us all. The Birthday Boy and his wife stay here on the regular (10+ stays so far) and promised that we’d love it. I was initially disappointed that we came to Seaside and weren’t staying on the ocean, but changed my mind really quick. They have rooms to accommodate large and small groups, including the 2 bedroom suite we had — a queen bed in each room, and another queen out in the main room (that’s right — 3 queen beds total), plus a couch and comfy chairs! The living room could have easily fit an air mattress if our group had expanded. Each bedroom had an HDTV and DVD player (along with the TV in the living room). The bathroom was a bit small, but you don’t go on vacation to hang out in the bathroom.
They offer fresh cookies on check in, and have little bags of taffy on the nightstands of the rooms. The beds and pillows were cozy, and it was just a block behind Broadway, where all the touristy action is. Very quick walk to the water. We got hung up while we were out to breakfast on the morning we were supposed to check out, but made a quick call to the hotel, they were really understanding and gave us a later check out. Great service.
This is the only hotel our friends stay at when they come to Seaside, and I think we’ve joined that club too. Plus, you skip the high price tag of the oceanfront room, so you can spend more out while you’re out playing in Seaside!
