“What a great place! I booked a bed in a 10 person mixed hostel room. Check in was quick and friendly, the room was clean, cool and quiet. The bathroom was clean, the water was hot and the pressure was great. The bed was comfortable and I got a good nights rest. Location is close to all the things I wanted to be near. Highly recommended!”

Not the best experience. And, it doesn't seem to be all that gay friendly. Although, the ******** appeared to be helpful and accommodating to everybody. I think he's a plus for the location. However, and not that he can control it, the motel attracts some "narly" types who I'd venture to say are definitely not gay friendly. It's true. You get what you pay for and Seashell Motel & Hostel fits that expression to the tee. Noise levels, especially at night (even a weeknight) are off the radar loud. Guest behavior and demeanor is mostly OK but a few bad apples sour the experience for everybody else and bring down the location's reputation. What a mistake I made—albeit out of last minute desperation—to have agreed (at my age🤣) to think I could tolerate a shared bedroom and shower situation. Never again, and unless I get a private room—never again at Seashell Motel & Int'l Hostel😔

Cheap overnight stay, off season. Young stay in dorms, near Fort Zack & beach. Walk an interesting part of KW.
