Overall the place isn't bad. Their door locks could be improved as there is no deadbolt. One of the windows is missing a screen but overall the staff was nice and the area is close to beach and pier.

I booked a spontaneous same day stay, and I was not disappointed! I’m so thankful they are pet friendly, I had a cute little room on the second floor with a view. The room was clean, the location is walkable to the beach, the staff were very kind, friendly, informative, and helpful! All to say, my stay at seaway inn was very pleasant and I definitely recommend!

Disgusting. Everything is old and dirty. One of our bath towels had dirt. Literally dirt. Can’t tell when the last time the carpets were cleaned. We only chose this place because they were pet friendly
