My birthday is the same weekend as Springfest and of course most hotels were sold out. We booked Seabonay through travelocity. Once we entered the room we didn't have a key card we had actual keys which I think is outdated. Once in room the room smelled of mold and mildew! All of the furniture was old and outdated. The...

We have been staying at this hotel for a few years now. We never need anything fancy; just a clean place to shower and sleep since we're always on the go while in OC. The office staff are friendly and helpful. My husband and I always visit by ourselves on the last open weekend of October because of the customer... More

Let me begin by saying I am a true beach lover and have spent many nights during the 46 years of my life staying at hotels in beach resort towns all over the east coast and gulf coast of Florida. I have stayed in 5 star resorts and tiny flea bags. That being said I would like to offer my... More

This Motel is disgusting!! The rooms smell like terrible and were dirty, the beds were the most uncomfortable beds we have ever slept on and the bathrooms were full of mold and mildew!! The exterior of the hotel is completely outdated and not at all like the pictures shown on the webside (which must have been taken 10-15 years ago)... More

Our experience with this hotel was horrible. Most of the staff was arrogant. The price was no cheaper than most of the other hotels for the end of August. The room was dirty and the bathroom was covered with mildew. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone. The hotel did refund our money and it is in a nice location.

By far, the worst accommodations, even at this price, I've ever had. Much of bathroom was broken, moldy, and/or dirty. I could scrape soap residue off shower wall with fingernail. Wallpaper was patched numerous times. Clothes rack fell off its makeshift holders and cracked wife on the head. Thankful that kids are unharmed. I would not pay $39/night for this... More

We stayed for three nights. Great Location...very close to the boardwalk and restaurants. Our room was clean and the beds were comfortable. There was a small refrigerator in the room. The oceanfront view was great. Staff was friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

We stayed here 2 weeks ago for 5 nights. This motel is very run down. Between our family members we had 3 rooms. Two rooms smelled terrible. Like cat urine. When we checked in the carpet had wet spots that never dried. The towels and blankets are stained. The maids cart looked very disgusting. They found the guy who sweeps... More

We stayed here last year for a long weekend at the beach. Very affordable and close to the boardwalk. The rooms are clean and basic, but how long are you in the room? The beds are quite comfortable, and it has a small frig. A microwave in each room would be a plus! We will definitely return for another stay... More

We decided to book at the Seabonay based on cost and location. After reading all the reviews here, we did not have high expectations going in so we were not surprised that the motel was old. We were given a third floor room, which is smoking floor...being non smokers the rooms smell bothered us but it was tolerable...people were smoking... More
