Sea Cliff House Motel

I was extremely disappointed with this hotel. For the cost per night there was no housekeeping services. The bed was hard as a rock. The full kitchen came with 1 fry pan and 2 pots. No mixing bowls or measuring cups if you wanted to make pancakes. The grill and utensils had to be cleaned before being used. The pool was dirty and lastly the floor in my room was so dirty that the bottoms of my feet turned black and my grandson, who is crawling had black dirty knees/legs from the floor. We had to put beach towels down so he could play. Extremely disappointed and won't come back.

Had a great family vacation. Bed was comfortable, hot tub was amazing (my favorite) short walk to the beach from room. Would stay again and recommend! Girl at front desk was very polite and helpful!

We couldn't wait to finally get away and booked the ocean front room #1. I suppose over all it is average at best. Mattress felt more like a box spring, pool was decent, they have bright white rope lights everywhere going up our atairs so bugs everywhere and very dirty we didnt even use the little table and rickety chairs on the landing, zero maid service as in you have to bring down even your own trash and get toilet paper towels etc. Our BIGGEST issue was the a.c or should I say lack there of. They have the split units which we are familiar with we have 2 in our house when I called down to say we have it set on 64 and it is staying at 72 in our room even with all the curtains closed (so much for our view) and bathroom door closed we were told it is working fine! We'll it wasn't and nothing else was done they didn't even call anyone to look at it. By today when we kept it was 76 degrees in there!!!! We spent an hr or more on our phones one night looking for other accommodations but being a holiday weekend we were stuck! So 5 nights of no sleep and dying when we were in our room! Owner was put out to even talk to us. Won't be back. And when they say they are open 9-9 they mean it. Kind of a bummer pool closes and you are asked to leave the area when itnisnt even dark yet. Below is the picture I took at 7 a.m. the morning we were leaving.

Great location. Walk right on to beach. Accommodated our early checkin and room location (first floor). Parking space right outside your door. Ice machine handy, right by the office (white container holding coffee products, is the in room ice bucket). I had to ask. Rao , housekeeping staff very helpful. Isley, front desk also very helpful and had a fun sense of humor. Noel checked us in/out Pool lovely, clean and warm. I especially enjoyed the shelf to sit in the shallow part in the pool Did not partake in the hot tub but others using it seemed to enjoy their time in the hot tub when I asked. Enjoyed our two nights stay very much.

The property is very dated, and I did not feel secure for some reason, maybe because it doesn't have interior halls? The location is fantastic, right on the beach. Sea Cliff definitely needs more staff. The walls are thin, it was very noisy with kids during my stay. There is no restaurant, bar or vending machine. The closest convenience store to buy some water for example is 3-4 blocks away.

I surprised my wife with a weekend getaway to the Sea Cliff House. Good luck getting a room during the summer without a reservation at least a year in advance. That's okay with us though, we don't like big crowds anyways! We stayed 2-4 December when just about everything was closed for the season, but we didn't have to go very far to find something to eat. Not to mention, there was no traffic. We stayed in room #1 with a view of the ocean, which was spectacular. And it had a jacuzzi tub. The tub itself was dirty and we had to clean it before we used it. And in my opinion, could have used some lighting above it. Everything else was clean and fresh though. It is an older place so if you are looking for up to date and modern, this is probably not the best place for you. The bed and pillows were uncomfortable and could use new ones. The young lady at the desk was very courteous. Overall we had a pleasant stay.

We booked a Jacuzzi room during the "pre-season," and I can't wait to come back in the summer. Right on the beach, with great views. Gorgeous pool and hot tub (even if April is still too cold to use them!). Easy walking distance to the pier/amusement park/restaurants. Good parking setup. Hardwood floors in the room; large flat screen tv with channel guide, a fridge - we really had everything, and for an excellent value. Would recommend; will return!
