The staff was excellent. It is a wonderful place for families, a block from the ocean. They have lots of videos, popcorn, snacks and gave us a little gift as we check out. I love good customer service and I really liked Ruth and the other staff. Thanks for making our Seaside experience feel magical.

Parking was good. It's easy to walk around without using a car. Bathroom had new sink and toilet nice and clean. the fireplace surround could benefit with some fixing but just cosmetic. We booked for the retro effect and the staff were super friendly and helpful. We had a nice time.

Hillcrest inn was a treat, my partner and I thoroughly enjoyed the accommodations. The staff were friendly and very helpful, the room although being in an older property was clean and comfy with a nostalgic charm that I am personally fond of. There’s a sauna, snacks, coffee, and a large dvd selection in the main office. What a great little getaway to bring in the new year! We will be back there soon for sure!

For a group of 12 (4 rooms), we tried this on a whim and price fit our budget. It’s definitely not luxury and you can tell they are working on improving the units BUT the bed and pillows were super comfy, the jetted tub was AMAZING, walkability was great, staff was amazing…. They were huge rooms and very clean. We loved it and when we go back to seaside, we will definitely stay again.
