SeaLoft Oceanfront Hotel

The hotel is located directly on the beach ocean front, and mid-town, so obviously that's a plus. We interacted with four front desk staff, two housekeeping staff and two maintenance staff. They were all professional, polite, and helpful. There are plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance, and guests have the ability to use the bayside sister property's (Aloft) amenities (pool table, indoor/outdoor pool, tiki bar). There is a small outdoor pool between buildings and the pool area was tidy and clean. We enjoyed the convenience of the retro refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker. This is not a luxury or chain hotel, so set your expectations for a pleasant stay.

When we first checked in we noticed that one of the beds had sand in it, and obviously hadn't been changed since the last guest. We notified the staff and someone came up immediately and changed the bed, which we appreciated. Overall the room seemed clean, but there were some areas that have been neglected and I had to clean myself. The phone in the room was grimy and dusty, the toilet bowl under the rim was filthy, and the A/C vents in Room 509 need to be cleaned. Maybe the rooms will receive a deep-clean during the off season. The height adjustment of the "disabled accessible" contemporary shower head is awkward and the handle shoots water out like a kitchen sink sprayer. Areas for improvement: the back entry way to the hotel has a peculiar, unpleasant odor (there's no vestibule there, so it may be due to wet carpet in that area), have multiple ice machines for accessibility (there is only one ice machine for the entire building located in the lobby). Three years ago, the property provided vouchers for beach chairs and umbrellas. That has now changed to a "discount" to rent these items. We were told that because of high wind conditions umbrellas were not able to be rented and the stand was closed. We understood about the umbrellas, but there was absolutely no reason for chairs to be unavailable. This greatly impacted our convenience and comfort on the beach, as we didn't bring our own chairs for the very reason the hotel stated they would be available. In addition, the property now charges $20/day for PARKING. It's absolutely ridiculous and greedy that a hotel property would charge a parking fee for guests paying to stay there.

The hotel was in a great location. Clean and quiet. The staff was friendly and helpful

Location and comfy beds, dog friendly

Decor and room was dated needs a makeover. Price could be more affordable.

The stay was AWESOME. Every request I made for a room was met. I have stayed at this location for 13 years and will be back next year.

Its a nice small hotel. Doesn't have breakfast but their is options in the area. The glass door to the balcony was very hard to slide open. It's our second year in a row staying at this location for the bike event that my husband and I attend for the last few years. Its quiet and serene at night with just the ocean noise. We recommend this location overall.

This little gem was a great place to stay! If

We are repeat customers. Our latest experience isnt as great with our first one. No conditioner and handwash. No more free bottled water and coffee pod. The bathroom is clean but the dry water on tiles and smudges on the door is noticeable. Linens are clean though.

The rooms saving grace is the amazing ocean front view and quick access to the beach. The carpet smelled of old cigarette smoke,the balcony screen was off track, android tv is horrible,the mattress kept sliding off wifi was going in and out. For the price these rooms go for i expected better. The first night there we were by chainsmokers and couldn't use the balcony ,our own balcony had several cigarette butts. Even though it was advertised as non smoking hotel no one follows the rules so it was hard to enjoy the view and the sounds of the ocean with the door open because of smokers all night long. All in all if they want to charge the prices they do...they need to do alot of upkeep on the inside. The outside is nice the appliances are nice the bathroom is nice the staff is nice.
