Room was spotless! Staff exceptional. Only concern is the bed was not that comfortable
Lovely stay at this retro mid-century motel. Very clean and exactly as depicted in the photos online. No frills, but really nice place to stay. Kitchen was a plus wonderful comfortable bed. Very short, walk to a beautiful and expensive beach. Numerous restaurants in walking distance. Safe location with exterior cameras as a plus. We would definitely stay here again if visiting the area.
Our room was very clean and nicely appointed. The pool area is beautiful and you can see how much work they have done to get this resort fixed and cleaned up after the hurricanes last year. Most everything is new!
Exceptionally clean.
Great check in experience.
Will definitely return!

I love this place! It's got a cool retro vibe, it's right across the street from the beach surrounded by plenty of things to do and food to eat. The staff are wonderful. Everybody is always going out of their way to help and do what they can. They are on call at all times. I really love this place. It's just so good.
Staff was courteous. Room was very good. I liked the location.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room had a charming retro appeal and was very clean. The shower, while small, had great water pressure. We enjoyed the heated pool which was an added bonus in January. Also the Sea Jay is a short walk to Waffle House and Dunkin with other bars and restaurant just a short stroll up or down Gulf Blvd.

Awesome staff at this location, I hope you realize how valuable, David, Imani, and Renee are...
Room was clean and had enough amenities. Staff was nice. Location wise, it was walking distance to the beach. The AC was a bit loud. Other than that, everything was good.
Sea Jay Motel is a quaint, vintage gem in the heart of Treasure Island – complete with an incredibly beautiful heated pool and a well maintained old school shuffle board on gorgeously manicured grounds! The staff (especially Rene) are down to earth and made sure our stay was excellent – they even entertained our silly nature while checking in. The price was superb for the quality that you experience during your stay! I paid like $10 more so my girlfriend and i could stay in the cottage suite and wow what a steal! The room was immaculate and the bed was soooo comfy. Oh yeah, you cannot beat the location, extremely convenient and central! Can't wait to stay again! Highly recommend The R Bar, right around the corner!
The amount of space and view of the room was amazing and we had a great time as a family together staying at the Sea Jay for the first time. Being a smaller hotel it was quiet with a great pool.
The staff was great, I would say that was something that is all too uncommon, not just for this area but in general over the last several years.
