Pros: We were warmly welcomed at check-in and shown the immense library of DVD's available for viewing, board games to borrow, and (instant) cocoa with whipped cream and other hot beverages available in the evenings as well as in the morning. Our room was spacious and clean, and beds were comfortable. It was wonderfully located with a very short couple blocks' walk to the beach and Aquarium and close to restaurants, shopping, and kayak and specialty bike rentals.

Pros: The staff members were so friendly and helpful. We liked the information placed in the rooms. Especially helpful were the directions for the TV. We go to so many places and have to play a guessing game with the remotes. Also one block from the beach. Couldn't ask for anything more. Our first time there but we will be back. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom was clean. Inner shower curtain was also clean. Have been to places where the inner shower curtains seem to emit a musty smell. Spoils my stay. We were very impressed.
Cons: Nothing.

It was also nice to be able to bring our dog, and we were so close to the beach!
Cons: A ceiling fan would have been nice.

Pros: The hotel staff were not just courteous, they went WAY beyond thoughtful. On the morning of checkout, one even gave our granddaughter 3 sanddollars because she had seen her looking on the beach for shells! Hillcrest will be on our short list from now on.
Cons: The ONLY thing missing was a view of the ocean, but I knew I wouldn't have that when I made the reservations.

Pros: Staff was very friendly. Definitely more of a beach hotel than set up for business travelers. Happened to end up with the last room available (summertime!) which had a fireplace (used it) and Jacuzzi (didn't use) but it was definitely a good value. Hotel is a few blocks from the main business strip, which may actually be a good thing. Near the promenade along the beach.
Cons: Not really set up for business travelers and no pool or workout facilities. Great for a weekend family outing, which is it's primary clientele.

Pros: Cute cottage, lots of space for a family. Very quiet at night.
Cons: Musty smell(not dirty though) housekeeping came mid afternoon while I was there napping. I would have preferred they take care of towels and garbage when I wasn't there, but it was nice to meet them. The bathroom needs an electrical outlet.

Pros: Honestly what made this place stand out was the customer service and the accomidations. We had gone clamming and did not know how to properly clean the clams so we went to ask the service desk if there was anywhere they knew of that would cook the clams for us. They went out of their way not only to tell us how to clean the clams but literally used all their gear and showed us how to. This on top of the free hot chocolate, coffee, little Debbie's and all the movies to pick from made this place the best that I have stayed at in Seaside! As we are a larger family of 6 it is hard to find sleeping arrangements for all of us at an affordable price without having to get two rooms. We had no problem with this place and easily fit into the Jr. Suite. Please don't change a thing!
Cons: Only regret was our stay was too short.
