Love the new look ♥️
We really enjoyed our stay at the Seaway Inn. Tim at the front desk was super helpful in making sure we were comfortable. The room was super clean and free parking was awesome! So close to everything. We will definitely be staying there again :)

2/10 Poor

Not worth the money.
A dog in the room next to us, was barking all night & kept us up, Paper thin walls. Felt like the dog was in our room. Horrible customer service . No one on staff from midnight to 8 am! Hotel seems unfinished and under construction
