Comfortable, family friendly lodging

I absolutely love this property. My family and I have stayed several times now and the ownership is a class act. My only constructive criticism would be that a bit more attention be paid to the cleanliness of the room. In this instance we found a used condom under the futon, as well as items under the bed. I feel horrible even having to say this because I have such high regard for ownership but I think it's important that they know for improvement sakes. Other than that I would recommend the windjammer to anyone looking to visit Seaside.

One bad apple can ruin the bunch

I have stayed here in the past. Owners are very nice and they are present. The Hotel has a restaurant and bar, prices are reasonable. Owner provide beach badge that you can borrow. The rooms have an efficiency kitchen, a pot and a pan, I'd bring my own if you plan on having meals in your room. Guests are usually repeat customers and friendly. It's a short walk to the beach. A couple of drawbacks: Pool isn't handicapped accessible, I had a difficult time getting in and out. The elevator stops running after a certain time. I am not in good health so it was hard to negotiate the stairs. There was one bar maid/waitress (Maureen) who was acting unprofessionally while she was a patron at the bar. One night we were having dinner and had a view of the galley that lead to the kitchen, while still in uniform but off duty, she kept going in the galley and lifting up her shirt so the men seated at the corner of the bar could see. She was still wearing he "STAFF" t-shirt. Another night she insulted me. Out of the clear blue. This is a family friendly place and I was disappointed in this women's behavior. That was the last time we patronized the restaurant. I probably won't be staying here again.

Typical outdated room, it was clean enough to stay one night. Room was next to the parking spaces so you heard the older couples with loud bikes that were staying next door come and go.

This was an awful stay. There was no heat. Hotel was noisy and room had a musty Oder like it was wet. I was overcharged at check in for the room I just booked on Expedia! For the price I’m sure there are much better places to stay.

The housekeeper must’ve been distracted as one of the beds had pillows lying on top of the cases. This is a much older motel but it got us where we wanted to be for the night.

Laura

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Place is run down and DARK. Sign doesn’t even have lights. Musty smell throughout. No soap. No hand towels. No bath mat. We drove to Kohls to buy pillows because I didn’t believe other people’s reviews about the flat pillows (My bad). Air conditioner so loud that we had to put tv on 45 volume just to hear it. Expedia said there was “Only one room left” and led me to believe other people were actually CHOOSING this hotel. There were a handful of people there. Plenty of open rooms. (Unless 75% of the hotel is uninhabitable, which might be the case). Room had two queen beds so it slept 4 people. We had 3 people yet had to pay an “extra guest” fee of $40 (False advertising). Stayed here to save money but we should’ve cut back elsewhere.
Breezeway to pool
Poorly lit
Our car and one other. Certainly more than “One room left”
Empty parking lot. More than “One room left”

It's been a decade since I have been to the Windjammer, but after my stay it feels like I never stopped going. It's been a tradition in my family to go once a year for a week during the summer when I was a kid from 3 years old to 23. Now I am 33, with kids of my own... And I'm so back! It's just like I remembered, the rooms have been updated a little, new countertops in the suites and a bigger fridge, new couch and new beds. All welcome changes. Some minor issues like a very small trace of mold above the shower head. But aside from that the room was clean, and comfortable for what it is! I loved my stay, the staff, the guests, everyone was a joy to be around and food at the windjammer is always a hit for me! I'll be back next year!

It is inexpensive, but bare bones. Best part- close to the beach and boardwalk. No shower cap, no shampoo, no hair dryer. Rusted mini frig in the room next to huge stain on the floor. Lobby door is locked at 9 pm in the colder months, so need to check in before then or ring a bell and wait.

Love the Windjammer!

Love this place! We come every year and have never been disappointed. The Windjammer is not the Ritz, but the rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, the pool is awesome and we have never ever felt unsafe! We will continue to come back every year as long as the management stays the same. This place is a great value and we love it!
