Seabonay Oceanfront Motel

We love staying at the Seabonay. The location is perfect for us. The boardwalk is one block away, on the quiet end . Don't expect anything fancy . These are clean safe rooms period ! Check in has moved to the Dunes .

The motel was great for the price and position on the beach! Super convenient walk to the beach and great pool. The parking lot is big and it was easy to find a spot. The rooms were clean, while the outside is a bit run down. No elevator as well. Overall, very positive experience!

Facilities can use some updating. There was confusion as to where to check in. Proximity to the beach was good.

kinda run down, rooms had a damp feeling to them. have to check in at the dunes since they are all the same property. very tight spaces around the pool area in front of rooms. pool needs an update as it looks very worn out and the chairs are all beat up

Like any other old beach motel, it was a little damp/ musty but nothing we couldn’t handle. And was priced reasonably and accordingly. Location was prime- beach to the left boardwalk to the right. Staff was friendly and helpful at all hours of the day/ night. Nice pool, nice patio/ grill area. Perfect other than the dampness. Overall, would stay again.

Although, the pictures showed in the booking, the oceanfront view in a wide angle and probably in the corner lot of the property because the view are 3-way exceptional beautiful, but when I get to my room the ocean front view from the room is limited. However, I still enjoyed it. I also got confused with the parking lot and the check-in area, however, staffs are very friendly and helpful. In general it’s a wonderful family experience. Thank you.

No lounge rack or elevator

Room & pool was clean. Hotel is older so it does not have elevator. This can be an issue when on 3rd floor bringing in luggage.

On the beach. Pool is great,

Overall, it was pretty great! The room was clean, we had plent of towels & TP upon request. The pool was nice & clean. We stayed ocean view on the 3rd floor & got to watch the sun rise every morning! Go across the street to get a decent coffee as the lobby/check-in office is closed until @ least 9a or 10a. Great location to pretty much everything!

Pictures online were very misleading. The unit was outdated and dirty. Sand still in the bathtub. Torn carpet. Nasty lampshades. Hole in comforter.

Bathroom was recently remodeled with new camode, bath tub and sink. Beds were comfortable. Negative aspects of the room was the humidity. The air conditioner in the room kept the air cool but did not remove the humidity from the air. Wet towels, bathing suits would not dry. Carpet and clothes became damp. An air freshener in the room attempted to cover up the musty smell. The pool was not heated. I wanted to see an ocean front room for a future stay but the staff would not show it to me. I left a cell phone charger after leaving and called them only two hours after I left. They said they would check with housekeeping and they never called me back after repeating myself a couple times please call me. Staff was not helpful.

Room was clean, no issues, staff came by with fresh towels when we needed them. Parking is super easy. Steps to the beach. Easy access to boardwalk and concerts. Staff made sure no one smoked on walk ways/balconies since its a shared walkway. Its nice not stinking from smokers when coming and going from your room. Much appreciated

Place did not exceed our expectation. Nothing like the pictures online. We had towels and hand towels but no bath mat or wash cloths.People above sounded like they were gonna come through the ceiling. Lights shined through curtains. Could use a lot of updating starting with the nasty carpet. Smelled musty and felt wet was so gross. House keeping was friendly and polite.

Can't beat the location. The hotel is exactly what we were looking for - affordable, clean, pool, and right on the beach and at the end of the boardwalk!

The room was musty and damp and after the first night smelled like a moldy basement. All our clothes smelled like it, too. The carpet had a damp feel and the bathroom tile was sticky. The floors were so dirty that they turned the bottom of our feet black. I couldn't wait to leave.

Pictures are slightly deceiving. Loved the location, tight on the beach, lots of outdoor space. Unfortunately some of the outdoor furniture is broken. The rooms are run down, carpet torn, curtains off the tracks, but they were clean. People clearly smoke (pot) in these rooms which isn't the hotel's fault, but it aggravated my asthma. Vending machine didn't work but ice machine had ice. Bedding, towels, and bathroom were very clean. Housekeeping does a great job.

There was very dark colored mold in several places on walls and ceilings. Had to purchase bleach spray to clean it. Wiped the bathroom floor with a white towel and it was black. In four days room service changed our towels once. The room smelled moldy and musty. Even my son said it smelled bad. They don't clean this place at all. People also sit in front of your entry door to smoke. Didn't help the smell in the room. I do not recommend Seabonay for anyone to stay.

The photos online are far from what we arrived to. The room is extremely outdated and had a moldy smell the first night. The bed had no comforter, only a sheet and blanket. The room was in desperate need of a deep clean. There was a large stain on the carpet and bathroom door, the curtains weren’t hung properly, there were cobwebs on the ceilings, and I found a large, tangled piece of hair in my fresh bath towel. The only redeeming quality of this motel was the close proximity to the Ocean City boardwalk. I would not recommend this location, especially based on the price per night.

Unpleasant musty odor in room. Curtains were stained and rug was filthy

Overall the experience was good… there was no elevator and no private balconies… tv channels were very limited and not very kid friendly … but the view was great and the service was really good and the room was clean!

Loved the location on the beach. Most employees were pleasant and helpful. It's basically a 2-star motel so expectations were low. But the room was SO DAMP. Very hard to sleep in a damp bed. The musty smell wasn't too bad considering how damp the room was. Also having to walk over to the sister property where the office is located was very inconvenient (like to tell them the toilet didn't flush when we first got into the room.) The office was busy so no one answered the phone.

I loved how convenient they had refrigerator and microwave in the room. The internet needs improving ALOT. I had a hard time using the internet there.

The view of the water from our ocean view room was beautiful, but honestly, that's about all this hotel had going for it. The images shown of our room were totally inaccurate. In reality, the room was musty, old, and falling apart. The "balcony" is actually just the walkway in front of the rooms. Check in was ridiculous and left us searching for the right place to check in. Then, we had to hunt to find how to get to our room on the 2nd floor. Luckily, another tenant saw us and explained how to get up there. They had the same issue and the only hotel staff we saw weren't able to speak English and therefore were unable to help. The staircase was in a cramped outdoor walkway (tunnel-like) between the 1st floor rooms that smelled like urine and had water from the a/c dripping. No elevator, so be ready to lug all of your beach gear up 2 or 3 flights of stairs. The listing states that it's a minute walk to the boardwalk, which is true, but it's at the end of the boardwalk, so another 20+ min walk to get to the stores and activity. I would say this is a 'you get what you pay for' kind of thing but the price difference wasn't enough to make this worth it for us. All of that being said, it all depends what you're looking for. There's a bed, a shower, a toilet, a/c, and a beautiful view of the ocean if you stay on the 2nd or 3rd floor. 1st floor oceanfront, you'll only see the dunes.

3rd time we’ve stayed at this hotel and will continue to come back! Not the ritz but definitely not a hole in the wall either. Right on the beach. Comfy beds, clean room.

Not like the pictures. Nice view but you don’t have a private balcony.

Great location, pillows were flat, just sheets on the bed no extra bedding like a comforter, towels felt like sand paper. Ample parking… great vicinity to beach.

The blind was falling down and there was food still in the room on the floor. The listing said that there was a balcony for the room but the balcony was actually a community balcony with some chairs placed on it. Also, having no elevator was a tad inconvenient for being on the 3rd floor.

If you are just looking for a place to visit the beach and sleep with no frills this is the place for you. Needed new blinds, bathroom door and perhaps a larger TV. Location is good. Walls thin, bed comfortable. Just needs a few updates. I would suggest getting an ocean view room and request one with the most windows.

Great location, very dated rooms, beds are old and worn out , rooms need to be renovated,

We love staying at the Seabonay. The location is perfect for us. The boardwalk is one block away, on the quiet end . Don't expect anything fancy . These are clean safe rooms period ! Check in has moved to the Dunes .

room 209 needed a new ac unit room was very damp the rug was damp and all my stuff got damp had to shorten my stay due to the ac problem. the maintenance staff could not fix the problem. the all staff where very nice they go out of there to help you the hotel manager did make it right with us by doing a refund for the night we moved out thank you

When we arrived I immediately checked to make sure it was clean. I own a cleaning service so it’s very important to me. It appeared to be clean. The problem started with our toilet. It was constantly run it overflowed all over the bathroom floor. I called down to the lobby told them they needed to send up maintenance and a housekeeper. The maintenance kid came looked at it. We told him it needed a plunger, and he went and got one. He came back and then asked ME if I was going to plunge it?? Then he proceeded to tell me he did not eat breakfast yet. He plunge the toilet, and then carried the soaking wet plunger through the room out the door. Yes, it was dripping all over the carpet. Housekeeping came, put their foot on all of the soaking wet towels that were on the floor and moved it around. Put the wet towels in a trash bag and proceeded to hang up clean towels. I informed them that the bathroom needed to be cleaned and disinfected. They were just going to hang up towels and leave. Totally unacceptable. We continue to have problems the whole stay with that toilet. From it constantly running to the handle falling off. I informed them of everything when I checked out and told them again of the problems. They didn’t seem very interested. Side note: after they cleaned the bathroom, I did tip them $20.

The staff were friendly and location was perfect. Other guests didn't follow the no smoking policy which was frustrating.

We stayed 3 nights and it was our second stay. We'll be back next year. Friendly staff, close to the boardwalk, clean.

We really enjoyed our 6 night stay at the Seabonay! The staff and service were fantastic, they took care of any issues very promptly. The location is perfect, just steps to the beach and boardwalk! We had an oceanfront view and balcony. The hotel is a bit dated but very clean and comfortable. Overall we had a wonderful week!

A little rundown and bare bones but the room was clean and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The only thing I really didn't like was all the people smoking outside their rooms on the balconies. It felt like we were the only non-smoking family in our section. Great view of the ocean from the third floor oceanfront rooms!

The worse customer service front desk attendant experience I have every had in my entire history of travel. The front desk attendant who greeted me was so rude, very rude. She was all about how I was inconveniencing her because of my check-in questions. The front desk attendant was very aggressive in her handling of my question. She used terms like, "I don't even know why I am dealing with this", and "I have been here 15 years and I am tired of answering these questions". The experience was all about her and her feelings, instead of helping me check in and answer my questions. The worse part about all this is that when I would go down to get something from the lobby, like coffee, I could sense her stare and the tense environment. I should not have had to go through this as a customer. "Hospitality" definitely was not part of my experience. Management needs to make a change immediately. I talked to the Dunes Manager "Zach". I don't think he is going to address this, as I think they are afraid of that front desk attendant. I have stayed here successive years as it was a go to motel for me and my family. Rented two rooms at same time. I WILL NEVER EVER STAY HERE AGAIN!

Everything but the housekeeping staff was fine for the money, in my 4 day stay they never cleaned my room and when I tracked them down asking for new towels they would only give me 2. The day of check out was the first time they came to the door and it was at 10am to ask if I was checking out, mind you check out is at 11.

It was decent. Average Ocean City stay. Room only came with two towels and no extra toilet paper. Staff/ laundry person seemed offended when i asked for extra towels and blankets. Check in was difficult to find. Three building have the same check in area so it took me a little to find where to check in at. On the plus side we didn’t see any signs of bed or other nasty bugs

My fiancé & I stayed at the Seabony Hotel & We really loved it. We will definitely stay here again in the future. The hotel rooms are nice, Close to the beach & The boardwalk is right there.

Beds were comfortable, room was clean, shower was hot, and location was great.

Great location. Ocean front views, super easy access to the beach. Walking distance to shopping & restaurants. I wish they had an elevator for older people to go up instead of using the stairs, but overall definitely recommend.

Great location!

Great location to the beach, shops, restaurants. Quite area.

Can't beat the location. The hotel is exactly what we were looking for - affordable, clean, pool, and right on the beach and at the end of the boardwalk!

Stay was good, space is a little older, but overall I was happy with the experience. Ocean front, and just what we needed for our trip.

We love staying at the a Seabonay because it's a hip slip and a jump to the back and boardwalk. There are many amazing walkable restaurants and lots of things to do in that area!! Perfect place to rest your head after a killer beach day!

Amazing time and great location

This property is located at the end of the OC Maryland boardwalk. Beautiful view. Would 100% stay here again. Only problem was parking was hard to come by.

Definitely located to a lot of attractions dining and boardwalk and transportation

The location was very perfect for my family. right next to the boardwalk and so many restaurants/things to do in walking distance. Staff was very friendly too. Definitely would recommend this place!

We enjoyed a lovely beach front room. It's cheap and cheerful. Easy beach access and close to boardwalk and boardwalk tram. Quiet and away from some of the main hustle and bustle but still close. We would stay again.

The Seabonay Oceanfront Hotel is a small mid century motel a short walk away from the North end of the boardwalk. It is budget friendly and clean. It has a small pool that it good enough to keep kiddos happy. The room I had was on the third floor (no elevator) and had a nice side view of the beach. The room had a mini fridge, a television and a table with two chairs. It was quiet and I never heard my neighbors. There was no microwave or coffeemaker in the room but coffee is available in the check in area. The bathroom was clean but always felt a little humid... but this was in the summer and there was no mildew or moldy smell. To be clear the room smelled clean and house keeping does an excellent job. It is a Non Smoking hotel and if you smoke inside the room you will be charged a cleaning fee. Breakfast is not included (except for free coffee) but it is walking distance to Dunkin' Donuts and several breakfast restaurants (I recommend Happy Jacks) There is limited parking next to the hotel and a satellite lot accross the street. The North Terminus of the tram route is easy walking distance. I will stay again. However I do prefer the Flagship Oceanfront Hotel (It's sister hotel) because of it's pool and it has a pool bar.

It was oceanfront! With an awesome view. Inside was very clean! Everything in bathroom was new! People were very friendly and helpful. I wanted to move from an oceanfront 3rd floor to 2nd and there was no problem! No charge! Free coffee was great! No pets though.. so I had to leave them at home😩

This was the perfect motel and place to be if you want a nice clean place to lay your head down without the bells and whistles. It's a super quick walk to the beach and was perfect for a quick getaway! Walking distance to lots of great restaurants and should and only a block away from the boardwalk! We'll be back!

This was a surprisingly comfortable motel! Check in was in the partner motel, but very quick and easy. The beds were very comfortable! Rooms were very clean and well maintained! Pool was very nice! Close to restaurants and half a block to the boardwalk. We will stay again!

Overall, it was pretty great! The room was clean, we had plent of towels & TP upon request. The pool was nice & clean. We stayed ocean view on the 3rd floor & got to watch the sun rise every morning! Go across the street to get a decent coffee as the lobby/check-in office is closed until @ least 9a or 10a. Great location to pretty much everything!
