Economy Inn Seaside

Excellent service from staff!

Do not stay here. There are bugs and stains on many surfaces as well as cigarette burn holes in the bedding. I did not stay the night and had to find a new motel due to these conditions and despite being promised by the clerk to get a refund, I am yet to receive it.

This is a very run down old motel that appears to have not been updated ever, including the computer system when checking in. I was the only one checking in & it took at 15-20 minutes for the man to write out my info. The mattresses are very very old & springy. The sheets were covered in hair & nothing in the room seemed to be cleaned thoroughly, so we went to the local Costco & bought bedding, a comforter & pillows as the room didn’t feel clean at all. The room smelt like someone smoked a few packs of cigarettes in it for weeks & we left the window open & put on AC but couldn’t rid the smell. The positives are the location as there were plenty of food places in the surrounding areas & that no one bothered us with noise or anything else.

Avoid!! I stayed here as a last minute same-day booking cause there wasn’t much else available that wasn’t $300+/night. Made the incredibly dumb mistake of thinking the 4.6 rating was out of 5 and not 10, in part because how could anywhere that’s $150/night (Saturday price) be this bad. The sheets had sand and hair in them and weren't even fitted sheets, just flat sheets draped over plastic covered mattresses. All walls and doors were stained and some had holes/damage. Cigarette burns in sheets, walls and window curtain (even though a “non smoking” room). Burn hole in curtain was “patched” with a sparkly children’s sticker. Floors were dirty to the point we didn’t want to be barefoot at all. Door peep hole was stuffed with a tissue (why?). TV was just propped against the wall without a stand or fastener. Mini fridge didn’t work. Water took ten minutes to get warm (I only left it running that long with the thought that I might use a lack of hot water to get my money back). Shower curtain had black spots (mold?). Did not in any way feel clean or completely safe. The only way we made it thought the night was by using our camping sleeping pads that we thankfully had and keeping the heater on so we wouldn’t have to use their blankets. How this place even has 4.6/10 is beyond me. Guy/owner at the front desk seemed nice? He’s either a fraud or just in way over his head with this mess of a place.

Just don’t stay here!
