Love the new look ♥️ We really enjoyed our stay at the Seaway Inn. Tim at the front desk was super helpful in making sure we were comfortable. The room was super clean and free parking was awesome! So close to everything. We will definitely be staying there again :)

Friendly and helpful staff. Cute room. Excellent location. All in all, a good value. It is In the right place for a walk to the boardwalk or a walk along the promenade to watch the surfers.

The front desk was great for both shifts. Good advice and fun to talk to. Location was perfect for us. Price was very reasonable. Bed and bedding was good. Shower huge. What else do we need? Desk gave my husband a lower floor because of his lungs.

I've been staying at the Seaway Inn for many many years. On my recent visit, I experienced a problem with a dog barking in the adjacent room to where I was staying. The current residents had left the dog unattended . Once I alerted staff, they took action immediately, attempting to reach the folks staying in the room..... when all was done and settled. The staff was quick, efficient, reasonable, helpful, and addressed the problem as soon as the current residents reappeared. Other things do consider when staying at the Seaway is proximity to the wharf, the pier, numerous restaurants, and even surfing if you so desire. Once again, thanks again to the staff at the Seaway. Larry.
