The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly, polite and helpful. The hotel was quiet, clean and safe. Short walking distance from the boardwalk and beach. I really liked that the parking was complimentary.

We had a great time staying at the Seaway Inn. It's very central being right on the Boardwalk and within a short walk to downtown, yet quiet at night.

This place exceeded my expectations for where it was in the edge of the building. Well, maintain rooms are big enough for us to move around and not be on top one another and the staff is exceptional.

This hotel was a good deal for the cost. Location was great only bad thing is the parking lot is smaller but they do have extra parking around back. This place was one of my favorite places, cute, close to the beach and convenient.

We had a wonderful time here in this charming, small hotel. Quiet with free parking and wifi and a quick walk down a short hill to the beach.
