My husband and I have stayed here for three years straight, twice last year. It might not be the greatest place to stay, but you can't beat the price. The workers are very friendly and helpful, Its also a stones throw away from the beach. For the amount of time you spend in your room, it works. Why pay tons... More

My husband and I, along with our grandson, recently stayed at the Seaside Inn in Fenwick, De. Location is great, short walking distance to beach, and away from all the hustle and bustle of summer vacationers. Accomodations were comfortable, but rooms really need to be updated. We did have a problem with the toilet overflowing at 2:30 in the am,... More

Seaside Inn has to be one of the dirtiest, filthiest, nasty motels I’ve ever stayed in. There was a hole in the tub; a hole in the ceiling of the shower; the bathroom was not clean including the floor was not mopped, the toilet was not cleaned; the rugs were disgusting; the fold out bed had stains on them; the...

We made this reservation and then saw 2 really bad reviews so we almost took a hit and cancelled our reservations. I'm glad we didn't We had a very nice room and a nice short walk to the beach. Very close to all of the "wild life" of OC Maryland but nice and peaceful with a less crowded beach. Pool... More

check in was fast, but right away notices how run down the place was, it was a last minute decision to go to the beach, didn't want to spend tons of money, found this place and thought ok. Every single thing needs painted, the pool is small but they also kept it dirty with sand in it, not once seen... More

We stayed at Seaside Inn July 2012 for two nights in a single King Bed room. I'm not sure where all the positive reviews come from, because our experience is that the ONLY good things Seaside Inn has is location: quiet neighborhood, close to Fenwick Island shopping, restaurants and a one-block walk(without crossing the highway) to the beach access and...

I was a little hesitant when I saw some of the reviews of this hotel. But was pleasantly surprised when we got there. It is very plain, nothing fancy but we were greeted very nicely and checked in very quickly. Our room was clean, nothing fancy but great for what we needed. The best part was that it was only...

The beach is a short block-and-a-half walk from this hotel and the hotel is on the sea side of the main road, so you don't even have to cross the main street. The beach is at the north end of the town of Fenwick Island and adjacent to the Fenwick Island State Park beach, so there is less development in... More

We made a reservation based on their web page and some reviews. When we checked in - we had to pay for the room in advance. We checked out within 15 minutes of arrival. The room smelled horrible - musty and mildew. The refrigerator did not work and was iced over - dripping on the carpet. The refrig lining was... More

Am a budget value minded traveler. Location and clean well kept property is a priority. SI has both. Block from the beach and close to just about everything. Nothing fancy but the room was a good basic motel room. Third floor ocean side and you can see the ocean between the shore houses. In a beach house neighborhood. Early booking... More
