    Water meter in dog potty area!! Ridiculous!!!

    It's the first hotel where the bed didn't hurt my back or side I have fibromyalgia. The shower curtain was too short and the water flooded the bathroom. The housekeeper should have noticed that when they were cleaning the bathroom. For breakfast they didn't have any meat. And they had 2 different size waffle makers. The small round waffle maker was the one most people used it was the first one that people saw on the counter and it was next to the batter machine And on the other side of the batter machine was the bigger waffle maker and the microwave. there was no sign on the wall saying how to use the waffle maker that made the small waffles. When I mentioned it to the lady at the desk she told me it was by the waffle maker on top of the microwave. Well that's not by the small round waffle maker and it kept beeping when my husband was using it and this small woman who worked there came over to him said something to him and flipped the waffle maker. (My husband said he knew how to make waffles he just wanted to make his darker! And she didn't ask him she said something to him then just flipped it and that made him upset. Then it was beeping again he wanted it darker again she came said something to him again and opened it without asking him again). She wasn't friendly at all! On both encounters!! Then she walked away! If she's going to have an attitude with people she shouldn't be in that area. I thought the place was clean until I was walking by the bed and saw my husbands feet and got grossed out!! He had been walking the floor in our hotel room barefoot and he took a shower before we left this morning so his feet were clean!!! And when I saw his feet they were black on the bottom that is so gross !!! I'm including pictures of that!! So there not as clean as we thought. There was a couple times either at night or during the day I would go up to the counter and no one was to be found! I even yelled "Anyone here?" No response and the person was either out front or somewhere. There should have been a sign on the desk but there wasn't. The pet area is absolutely ridiculous!!!! It's 1 strip of grass and it's obstructed by a water meter thing and a garbage can and 2 slots to hold bags for picking after dogs but was empty the whole time we stayed there!! And good luck if you try to find grass else where!! I even verified that was the only pet area. After a couple times of my dog peeing there she didn't want to pee there anymore. What was the purpose of paying the $25? Oh and when it got dark out there they had no lights!! It was extremely dark and scary!!! and it has rocks and cement and grass and I could of easily tripped and cracked my head open!!! Or someone else could fall and trip and get hurt!! It's lit in the back of the building but not the side where the dog area is and it made me furious !!! I'm disabled and I could have really gotten hurt!! This is why I'm marking them so far down on there score!! They clearly don't care about people with pets and it shows!! In one of the pictures I'm showing you just outside the side door where the small pet area is! Showing you if the door is closed they don't light that side of the building it's pitch dark back there you can trip and fall!! I had to hold the door open the whole time so I could get a little bit of light and I was freaked out! On 9/24/24 4am I was outside with my dog and it was super foggy and we could hear creak creak and I know it was the sound of the wind pushing the swing! It freaked me out and it freaked my dog out and she refused to go potty and since I couldn't leave the door closed she couldn't leave my side. I confronted the guy at the counter and he said he couldn't control the wind I'm aware of that but WD40 takes care of noises like that!!!! And if they wanted a dog area they have 2 areas they could turn into bigger dog areas at the other end of the back of the building where there is a tree standing by itself that would be perfect or behind that where there is bushes remove those!! Most hotels that allow dogs have a gift basket for dogs of a couple treats and a bigger area for them to go. This hotel didn't have treats. This is why I'm marking them so far down on there score!! They clearly don't care about people with pets and it shows!!! And if you look at there pictures they post for the hotel they show a dog but they don't mention the pet area!! ** I need to add this 9/24/24 our last day my husband was eating breakfast in the dining area he had the biscuits and gravy. And was almost done eating when the lady from yesterday & someone else looked in the gravy pan and walked away quickly with it then awhile later brought out more. It made my husband nervous. When we got home a couple hours later my husband started getting sick. It's 10.30pm and he's still getting sick. I'm fine I didn't eat it I had a banana. Not OK if there was something wrong with the gravy they should have stopped people from eating it!!!

    I stayed here on a trip where all other accommodations were through Airbnb. I was an immediate and passionate convert to that style of lodging, so feeling a tad superior regarding this one night's stay at a conventional hotel. We checked in with Lorelei, the definition of a peach. We had a great time chatting with her, and she made us feel so welcome, even pressing us to take a few of their fresh baked cookies (available in the lobby every day at 4:00pm!). And this was just the one of the small touches that make River Inn stand out from a regular ol' hotel. They have bowls of saltwater taffy at the front desk, and a small bag of that same treat welcoming you in your room. In addition, you'll find a library of DVDs, game room, fire pits in the evening, even a small playground for the kids. Our room had a mini fridge, microwave, and Keirug coffee maker. The bed was comfortable, space was large, with a balcony overlooking the river, and there was even a Playstation serving as the DVD player, which means you can log in to your own Netflix account, which was kind of awesome. Location is very convenient, and while not right on the beach, within walking distance of the shore, along with a variety of restaurants (we enjoyed New Garden Asian Cuisine for a cheap dinner) and shopping. The only low point was breakfast, but I make the disclaimer that I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to food. Options consisted of coffee, hot water for tea, hot chocolate, cereal, Lil Yami brand (lactose free) yogurt, hard boiled eggs, waffle maker (with regular and sugar free syrup), three varieties of breads, bagels, and a few fruits. I wish they'd had plain or at least a clean Greek yogurt, but I made do with a few eggs and an apple. Otherwise, this was a surprisingly pleasant stay. With all the additional amenities (there's a pool, too), this is an exceptionally family friendly hotel.

    I'm giving this a 3 star because of location, the suite was a good size, great view of the river and the mountains, love the fire pits and the playground on site and the staff was excellent. Staff was always friendly and helpful (came and switched out a DVD player that wasn't working at 10 PM and also addressed all my noise concerns like barking dogs and really loud people at 2 am). Other than that, the dishwasher wasn't working properly, the mattresses on the beds and the sofa couches need to be updated BADLY, especially on the sofa couches. They are horrible!! The noise level is pretty high, mostly because rooms that adjoin to others, you can hear everything! There are also quite a few car racers out there so anyone driving back and forth on the bridge you can hear clearly (and people getting pulled over lol). Not much selection in regards to DVDs for kids FYI Enjoyed the pool and we got it to ourselves for 30 min due to COVID. Didn't get to try the breakfast buffet (due to COVID) so it was a pretty good grab and go bag compared to other hotels I've stayed at. Walking distance to the main strip and beach (1 block to the main strip and 3-4 blocks to the beach). I'll be back to try again I'm sure!

    Kids were happy with the rooms and it was walking distance to shops and the beach! Rooms were clean and perfect for what we needed! We choose to stay here as pool was open at 30 minute reservations.

    This is a very lovely, quiet, clean and up to date 3 story inn that included an indoor heated pool and balcony, 2 very important benefits that not all hotels at the coast offer. Many local inn's are very outdated and have a depressing feel, but that is not the case here. The pics I posted aren't great, because I didn't take them. My peeps were suppose to also take a photo of the pool but forgot to. They currently offer free breakfast, and I was told they are working on getting a license to offer hot foods too which will be great. There are 2 views, the river view rooms are the better choice versus the distant mountains/parking view.

    All Ashore at Seaside!…read more I had a good experience booking this place for Saturday through Wednesday. Was it pricey? Yes, but I wanted to fully immerse myself in seaside for half a week by the beach. As always, be sure to check ratings not only on Yelp but also on other sites, weighing the pros and cons. LOCATION: You're just a two-minute walk from the beach, which is the biggest perk! Everything from dining to shopping is within walking distance. The hotel has its own parking lot, but make sure to display your hotel window tag to avoid getting towed. AMENITIES & SERVICE: Every day, there's complimentary coffee and tea available downstairs. The lobby features board games, a small bar, and lounging areas where you can relax or get some work done. Next to the lobby, there's a heated pool (it's a bit smaller than it appears in photos). You can also borrow bikes to explore the town--just ask at the front desk. Room service even sent me a text each morning to check if I needed housekeeping, which was nice. ROOM: We stayed in Room 22, located near the Ashore sign. It had a spacious layout with a king-size bed, perfect for two. The room featured a fireplace with wood, a couple of lounge chairs, a coffee table, a mini fridge (just big enough for small snacks), a TV, and standard hotel bathroom amenities. I appreciated the space, although the walls were a bit thin, so we could hear some noise from our neighbor and the downstairs when people slam the door... Overall, our room was clean and very comfortable.

We needed our room sooner and it should've been ready by 4pm however they had it ready by 2pm- which was a big help since I had online class. The front desk has salt water taffy as complimentary and then later on they had fresh baked cookies. Staff are pleasant as well and were able to answer questions we had. We utilized the free bikes which was great. They're free & you just fill out the form and you're on your way. Our room was nice. A few small things: the bottom boards by the deck door had would looked like probably wet mud or dirt there from whenever, there was some food like splatter on the table that has the phone but overall it was nice! I would definitely stay again as it was a clean hotel and it wasn't a ton of traffic. Bonus was parking. The hotel is central to everything so it's walking distance to the stores and the beach. I didn't have breakfast but my partner did and he enjoyed it. The lobby is pretty spacious, has a couch section, then a chair section and then a couple stand tables. Lots of room! There are games, and they have snacks available as well for purchase!
