The only downside I'd say was the tattered carpet and overall dated furniture. Also the TV had connectivity issues pretty consistently throughout our stay. But overall, the hotel is very well-kept and was very charming. Parking is super easy, and we felt very safe the entire time. Would definitely stay here again."

"Seacrest Hotel is an amazing place to stay! My husband and I chose a king-size room with a magnificent ocean view, complete with our own private patio overlooking the ocean. One of my favorite experiences was listening to the soothing sound of the waves while taking a nap with the sliding door open. The afternoon sunset was absolutely beautiful, making our time relaxing on the patio even more special. Our room rate included breakfast, which was a typical continental breakfast. One of the highlights of the property was the fire pits, which were especially lovely at night. It was so relaxing to sit by the fire, listen to the waves, and enjoy the peaceful ocean atmosphere. The room was spacious and clean, and the staff were professional, welcoming, and friendly. Overall, our stay was wonderful and relaxing. I would definitely stay at Seacrest Hotel again if given the chance. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with beautiful ocean views!"
