Seaside's beachfront motels sit directly on the Pacific Ocean, many along the Promenade. For example, Seashore Inn On The Beach Seaside places you steps from the sand and the Seaside Aquarium, with indoor pool, hot tub, and sauna. Budget-wise, rates typically range from $99 to $199 per night, making these affordable choices for families and couples. Sandy Cove Inn, a 2-minute walk from the beach, offers free WiFi, parking, and family rooms. Expect amenities like free continental breakfast, microwaves, refrigerators, and some rooms with ocean views or gas fireplaces.
The best area to stay is along the Promenade near downtown, where you can walk to shops, restaurants, and the Seaside Carousel Mall. Ebb Tide Oceanfront Inn is 15 minutes from the city center and offers an indoor pool and free breakfast. For a quiet retreat, Hillcrest Inn provides a sauna and is a short drive to Gearhart Ocean State Park. These motels cater to beach lovers, budget travelers, and families. Most include free parking, which is a plus. Check for seasonal discounts and book early for summer weekends.
