River Inn at Seaside

Our stay was nothing short of amazing, as it has been every time we visit. We've been coming to this hotel since our sons were three and seven years old—now they're 16 and 20—and we visit at least twice a year. In all that time, we've never once been disappointed. This visit was special right from the start. When I called to make our reservation, the staff's excitement was palpable—they were genuinely looking forward to our arrival. Upon checking in, we were welcomed with such warmth and sincerity at the front desk by Kelsey that it felt like coming home. Our room was ready early, and just an hour after we settled in, Jeremey (the manager) and Kelsey surprised us by knocking on our door with a beautiful bouquet of flowers, a jar of sea salt candy, and a heartfelt welcome card. It was an incredibly touching gesture, made even more special by the involvement of the hotel manager, Jeremey. Throughout our week-long stay, each day felt like a perfect day. The staff's warm smiles and friendly conversations made our time there even more enjoyable. Breakfast, as always, was delightful, and the breakfast lady has become like a friend we look forward to seeing on each visit. Our room was spotless, as was the entire hotel. We truly enjoyed every aspect of our stay. A heartfelt thank you to Jeremey (the manager) Kelsey, Aaron, Colleen, Jennie,, Jocelyn, Jennie and all the rest of the housekeeping and maintenance staff. We apologize if we've missed any names, but please know how much we appreciate the effort you all put into making our vacations so memorable and beautiful. This hotel truly feels like our home away from home.

This place is perfectly adequate, but it’s not especially nice, it’s a bit overpriced considering how old and outdated it is. I booked nine months in advance for a festival yet was put on the second floor straight across from the elevator and directly over some sort of game room where loud music would be turned on at 7 am daily, waking up everyone in our room. Lots of areas in the room and bathroom were visibly damaged and poorly repaired. It’s a noisy place surrounded by loud traffic and loud bars, the guests are often stomping loudly up and down the halls or speaking loudly outside your door, especially the room across from the elevators. It’s more a party crash pad than relaxing resting place. It seemed fairly clean even if it was very dated, the toiletries were nice and we had lots of towels. Our room was small and the river view sucks, it’s a slow, gross, murky river and it’s really just more a view of a busy loud bridge but it was as described/shown in pictures except more rundown. Personally for the cost I would just spend a bit more and try to stay at one of the newer, nicer, hotels or rent a room in one of the smaller beach front properties but if you don’t care about it being loud and old it’s fine.

Dated building with thin walls, loud equipment, and overall unimpressive. Television didn’t work, coffee maker didn’t work. Bedding is clean but uncomfortable, think sleeping on paper. Lobby and rooms are clean but have zero ambiance.

Never choose this place. This is not a hotel, but a motel in poor condition. terribly noisy air conditioner, thin walls you can hear everything. Wi-Fi is sometimes there, the beds are not comfortable ! sometimes it is not. I do not recommend! terribly, terribly, terribly!!!

Staff was very friendly, check-in was easy with freshly baked chocolate cookies offered. The room was was clean and quiet. The breakfast area was small with limited seating and the offerings didn't stack up to comparable hotels. We settled for the waffles being the most appetizing offering. The location provides a short walk to the beach and restaurants. Plenty of parking in the hotel lot.

Very comfortable bed and pillows, very clean room and bathroom, good nights sleep, walking distance to many restaurants / bars and the ocean. Furniture is a bit dated - but the whole situation was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was adequate - hard boiled eggs and some cheese for protein, waffles, juices, yogurt, fresh fruit. Good experience.

Stayed here a few times. Nice hotel, friendly staff, good location. On this trip, the room was showing its age and needs much better maintenance. Furniture is midrange quality and suffers as such. Coffee table was broken and held together with tape. Dresser top finish was decaying making the entire top sticky. Formica countertop in bathroom had a chunk missing and was delaminating along the backsplash. Bed was great. Systems locked down... we take our firestick so we can watch our own TV, however TV is locked down so you cannot change input. Easy fix, unplug cable box and use that port. Thermostat locked so you cannot cool below 69. Easy to hack but this time of year we turned it off and opened the window. With all the competition at this price point, they need to do a better job maintaining the rooms before they drive business away. Free parking is a plus.

Our room was directly above the pool, which is EXTREMELY loud - even over the TV and fan. The whole hotel is acoustically challenged. You can hear everything above you, out in the halls, or outside by the fire pits and playground. Don’t plan on getting much sleep here. It’s not quiet or relaxing. The room itself is mediocre and not satisfactorily clean (found wadded up tissue near couch and table was sticky to the touch). Although the staff were very friendly, this isn’t a place we would choose again.

A great breakfast with hot waffles, biscuits and gravy, hard boiled eggs, guacamole, yogurt, etc. River Inn has a very helpful staff, a clean room and a great view! The hot tub and pool are nice. We were here in February during a lot of rain and wind, but still found plenty to enjoy in Seaside.
