Ashore Hotel

The Ashore Hotel is a quaint, rustic older hotel in downtown Seaside where we enjoyed a two night stay. Our room was nice, clean, and located very conveniently to the beach and many restaurants and bars. Everything was within easy walking distance, and we were able to walk to breakfast, dinner and see the sights including the beach and nightlife. We enjoyed Seaside and our stay at the Ashore.

My family and I stayed here recently and I want to share our experience. During our stay we noticed our room hadn’t been throughly clean. Counters were dirty, cobwebs, and stuff left from previous guests under the couch. We didn’t think too much into it, as we didn’t plan to spend a lot of time on the hotel other than to sleep. We stayed one night. Upon arriving home I began to notice bug bites that were increasingly itchy like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. I had welts. I did some research and found out what I had were indeed bed bug bites!!! By that time by husband and kids began seeing bites as well. I immediately contacted the hotel and reported this incident. It was nearly impossible to get in touch with management to take my concern seriously. Finally I was informed they had a pest contractor come out to do an inspection. “However he only found sand fleas, and general house insects.” And that she would refund my money due to our experience. They flat out lied and tried to cover up their negligence. Being told my claim was false was a slap to the face. When I asked if they could provide a copy of the pest inspection report, the manager Luz Alcantar stopped responding to my emails. There is no accountability from this hotel. I literally have trauma from this bed bug experience the least they could do is own up to their mistake and not try to cover it up. Stay elsewhere this place is a dump!

Don’t be fooled by the high ratings! This is just a basic motel trying to look trendy and rustic. It’s nothing but a bare minimum room with unfinished “garage like” floors and paper thin walls. Does not feel clean. Way overpriced. Stay away!!

The room was simple and homey, just like I like it. It was walking distance from the aquarium, beach, and the best restaurants. The pool was clean and warm. The place was laid back and had friendly staff. Beverages are available. Next time we plan to try the waffles.

This is a scam motel. Start to finish nothing was as advertised. In addition, I was charged $233 for getting the towels dirty (no room service for four days - we had the same towels the entire time). This property is a half of a block from the beach, and we were charged for sand on the towels. The tv never worked. You can hear every footstep in the rooms above & beside you. Staff is disengaged & more “enforcer of strict rules” than hospitable.
