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.

Joe at Windjammer is great

the hotel was great. the pool was really nice. they have a restaurant that is opened 8am to 7pm. the only negative i can say is we got a table at the restaurant for late breakfast and the service was very slow. otherwise, the experience was a great one.

Immediately found bugs in the room. Everything was dirty and the floors were disgusting i checked in for 10 mins and immediately left after wards. I tried to get a refund and still haven’t received it. Do not go to the place

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!

This was a nice stay. Very much enjoyed our stay. The staff were absolute studs, the pool was nice and clean. It was quiet and only a block from the beach. Extremely convenient. AND you get beach passes with your room! The place needs some major updating like the kitchen in the room looking like its from the 1960s lol. Stayed in room 24, the fan in the bathroom is about to fall out of the ceiling, I would look into that before it falls on someone. I'll def return though. My family and I really enjoyed ourselves!

Old property, difficult to unlock the door, no shampoo or soap, had to request, only few towels. Nice bar and restaurant, large pool, close to the beach but had to drive to boardwalk

The hotel and staff are friendly but dated and tired. There are zero amenities. I can say the bathroom was clean and the room smelled better than it looked but that’s about it…

The Windjammer has charm, personality, and all the comforts you could want. A lot of places like this have been lost to boring white and gray renovations. This place has managed to maintain real character and charm for years. It is family owned, and you can tell that the staff genuinely love the place and enjoy what they are doing. It’s also pretty sweet that this place is only a few minutes walk to the beach. I also love the in-house bar and restaurant and the nice clean pool. You will not find a better place to stay, especially at such a great price, anywhere nearby.

The property is in a great location, near the beach and close to many restaurants and stores. Staff was courteous. It was quiet at night. The property and rooms are extremely outdated (I think everything was the same since we stayed here in 1982). There was NO toilet paper when we arrived, had to go to lobby to ask for it, arrived over an hour later! Kids enjoyed the pool. We had an efficiency room that is VERY dated, one burner on stove set off smoke alarm, limited pots and pans and dishes, almost no utensils. For what we paid, we could have stayed in a fantastic hotel in many other places. We know the costs at the beach have risen, but for what we paid (and everyone else who stays there), improvements are needed.
