Little slice of heaven
We love staying at the a Seabonay because it's a hip slip and a jump to the back and boardwalk. There are many amazing walkable restaurants and lots of things to do in that area!! Perfect place to rest your head after a killer beach day!

Can't beat the location. The hotel is exactly what we were looking for - affordable, clean, pool, and right on the beach and at the end of the boardwalk!

Just Right for our weekend.
Older hotel but worth the $$ Right on the boardwalk and walking distance to restaurants, mini golf, shops and steps from the beach. Went for a long weekend and was great for what we needed. Only downfall was no elevator so being on the 3rd floor taking up luggage was no fun. 🙃 Will stay again.

Great location, needs a little TLC
Great location, pillows were flat, just sheets on the bed no extra bedding like a comforter, towels felt like sand paper. Ample parking… great vicinity to beach.

Overall the experience was good… there was no elevator and no private balconies… tv channels were very limited and not very kid friendly … but the view was great and the service was really good and the room was clean!

Surprisingly Comfortable
This was a surprisingly comfortable motel! Check in was in the partner motel, but very quick and easy. The beds were very comfortable! Rooms were very clean and well maintained! Pool was very nice! Close to restaurants and half a block to the boardwalk. We will stay again!

Quiet and beachy
Motel is seated right at the end of the boardwalk. It’s a quiet place. The beach access is right there. The room was large for space. Although the bed skirting and the floor looked dirty. Trash was removed daily and towels replaced everyday. Everything we needed was within walking or we took the bus. Staff was kind and check in was in the Dunes hotel.

Seabonay Stay
Stay was okay. Liked how close it was to the beach, shops, and boardwalk. However, when arrived could not find front desk easily and directions were not clear. Went into room and found piles of sand in one of the windows, and curtains had ink/paint stains. Also, half of the outlets did not work in the room. Ventilation in bathroom was very poor. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Motel on the beach!
The motel was great for the price and position on the beach! Super convenient walk to the beach and great pool. The parking lot is big and it was easy to find a spot. The rooms were clean, while the outside is a bit run down. No elevator as well. Overall, very positive experience!

Don’t stay here.
Location was great, but that’s about it. Our room smelled of mildew and the carpets were wet and remanded wet our entire stay. There was also mold on the walls. The room looked like it had never been deep cleaned especially the flooring as well as having cracked bathroom tiles. The outlets were hanging outside the wall.

Moldy curtains
Curtains were molded really bad. No other curtains were like that. Conveniently located on the beach, that’s about the only good thing about this place.

Beachfront room was spacious & comfortable, not luxury but not lacking anything. Staff were friendly & accommodating. As nice a place as you could want for the price! I recommend & would stay again.

Location but super old property
The location is the only selling feature. The property is very old. Our room was very moist and musty. Needed a dehumidifier and the office was difficult to find on check in.

OCMD Stay
The pictures posted of the hotel was very deceptive. There was a dank or musty smell. There were no amenities whatsoever and I would never return or recommend it to anyone. Lastly the only good things about my stay was the proximity to the beach and free parking.
