We booked there on the advice of other cruisers, but the place is really run down. It looks like they tried to update it but it needs more. Our room smelled bad, like mildew. Also, I was under the impression from other cruisers that the shuttle to and from the cruise port was free. It is about the same as an uber or lyft but with a long wait. Also if they have a shuttle to and from the beach we were never informed nor did we ever see a shuttle of any kind. The town was fun, nice shops, and the resuarants and bars around had great food the Yucatan restuarant and the Hangout were awesome, Hennessy's had some great music. The beach was sad to me, it was covered in trash but kids where playing in it anyway. They need to have a big community clean up becuse there was plasic and furniture floating out there.The pier was fun and thier were lots of cool birds. I would not recommend this hotel, but the town of Seal beach is fun at least for a one time visit but I would find another place to stay and hope that the town will spend some time on cleaning up the beach.
