What guests think

At SeaCrest Oceanfront Hotel, guests consistently praise the stunning ocean views, direct beach access via stairs, and inviting outdoor spaces with pools, hot tubs, and fire pits, creating a relaxed, family‑friendly atmosphere with plenty of places to linger.

Rooms are generally clean and comfortable, with many updated, though some feel small or have hard mattresses and interior shutters that limit seated views. Service is often friendly and accommodating, yet guests report occasional check‑in delays, inconsistent housekeeping‑on‑request, and third‑party booking mix‑ups. Recurring drawbacks include very low sink water pressure and other maintenance quirks, crowding and noise around family areas, and a breakfast that ranges from excellent to disappointing. Expect a scenic, activity‑rich stay best for families and casual getaways rather than a quiet retreat.

The views were outstanding!! The stairs down tl the beach were really not that bad...thats even with a wagon we had to carry! Breakfast was good for being free. I saw them loading new mattresses around the compound so that was really nice. New carpet smell too. Two things i wish was better....clean up the pool tiles withhin the pool...kinda grimy, and the spa jets didnt work. That was a bummer. But we would absolutely stay here again! Stay parked here, and walk down to Pomeroy...its not bad at all

My fiancé and I loved the hotel. It was so beautiful with an amazing view of the ocean and beach access. My only complaint would be that it wasn’t stated anywhere on the booking that their rooftop was going to be under construction the weekend I went. I paid the extra money to stay at the nicer hotel for their cool amenities, had I known that wasn’t available I possibly would’ve booked somewhere else. But! My fiancé and I definitely want to return to be able to experience the rooftop. Hopefully!

Beautiful property, with amazing views! There are several fire pits, two spas with one being adults only. Large grassy area with cornhole. Great for families with kids. Love that you can grab breakfast and either sit out on the main patio or take it back to your room and enjoy from your own balcony which all have great views. We can’t wait to visit again!

Our King room with a view was small and the shutters lessen the view. Then the glass balcony guard was filthy with water spots and bird poop. They came to clean it but it didn’t clean. The view was what we went there for. It was very noisy because the children were screaming all the time. It’s a dog friendly hotel and there was pee and poop ever where on the grass. Our refrigerator didn’t work and I asked to fix it but they never did. The places outside are run down and the pool was cold so all the kids were in the jacuzzi so no adults could get in. For the price it’s not worth it. There are so many other hotels that we will try.

The hotel enjoys a beautiful setting with lovely views and well-maintained grounds, creating a calm and pleasant atmosphere. Housekeeping was available upon request, which may not suit everyone’s preferences. The main disappointment was the breakfast — the quality and variety were well below expectations for this type of property, and several items seemed neither fresh nor thoughtfully prepared. Overall, it’s a comfortable place with great surroundings, though the breakfast experience could benefit from significant improvement.

And housekeeping never came to my room. The fridge one night started making the worst noise that kept waking me up which sucked being that I was there for work and had to be up early. Other wise, the room was very nice. And the view was beautiful

We’ve been visiting and staying in the Ocean view King rooms for a few years. This year we unexpectedly booked during the Car show weekend (weekend offer Memorial Day.) I checked in on Saturday and we left on Tuesday. This hotel needs to have better control over their parking lot so they can provide reasonable parking for their paying guests. Several parking spots were occupied by large containers and large storage trailers; in another instance five spots were taken for one guest and his sideways car trailer. Further, some of the parking spaces are so tight that after I parked my standard F150 other cars parked on each side and I could not access my vehicle doors until the other cars moved. **DOOR DINGS** What’s worse, when we were leaving I found 7 long carpentry nails rolling around on my moonroof, and a couple in the bed of my truck—this is when I was parked in the row at the hotel level below the restaurant. On another note, the bed in our room was like concrete. I don’t know if they changed the mattresses or this one was just old, but it’s Wednesday and I’m still sore. The beds on the south side of the lobby have always been soft enough with good support. Overall, the service is good. The views and the location is excellent. The amenities are a bonus.

The place was clean, well kept up. There were a lot of tables and comfy outside furniture, which was wonderful. Even though it was crowded certain parts of the day, there were always spots to sit and relax. Lots of room, walkways, so it never felt too overcrowded, uncomfortable. It was such a wonderful place to stay, so with the 2 negatives or frustrations that drove us crazy, they stood out. **The ocean view rooms.... -When you want to lay down in the evening and listen to the ocean, and late into the darkness all you here are the cornhole bags hitting the boards. -The shutters are not a good idea on the sliding glass doors. Maybe if the track went further over, like the barn door sliders, to clear the windows? You could not get a full beautiful view; it was more like a single French door. **So, if we would have gotten a standard room, there wouldn't have been an issue. When we have a couple's trip, no kids, we want the beautiful calm peace of the ocean.

On our arrival on July 10, at 8 o’clock at night, no one was at the Checkin desk. We have to wait quite a few minutes. When the check agent finally arrived, I mentioned that it was our 25th anniversary and that we would love to have a quiet room over in the ocean. I also asked if we could check in a little later. The response was very rude, saying that the checkout was at 11 AM And that after that there was a $30 charge. We weren’t able to sleep at all as the room was very noisy. The ceiling was vibrating because the guest up above decided to have wild sex a night and walk very fast back-and-forth the room, I don’t know if they were changing each other. The guest next to us chose to listen to the TV at a very high volume. The room had a partial ocean view, blocked by a bunch of people barbecuing until late and making a lot of noise. The main entrance door to the room was facing the parking lot, with cars parking in and out all night long. In the morning, around 6 AM, a huge pick up truck engine with the exhaust pipe, pointing at our entrance door, woke me up, after I was finally able to fall asleep around 5 AM. Horrible, horrible experience. I guess if you have a bunch of kids and adults acting like them, who don’t need any sleep at night, this is the place for you.

The hotel is misleading. The king ocean room is way smaller than I thought, the water pressure at the hotel sucks, they don’t answer the phone, there is no communication between staff for special notes, we asked for a late checkout and someone came to the room to clean/see if we were out and my keys stopped working. The hotel says pet friendly everywhere but you HAVE to ASK for a pet friendly room or you’ll be charged a nonrefundable $200 “cleaning fee”. They gave me a $30 gift card for the trouble but I’d never come back and wouldn’t recommend this hotel.

Made us feel so welcome. Gave us restaurant recommendations. Thank you, Dawn, this hotel is lucky to have you.

But anyway , went there around 330P they said I was early , I’m like ok… at 405 I went back to the front desk and they told me room wasn’t ready … I just nod and asked them what’s going on. 438 P they check me in. That is very unfavorable.
