My friends and I have been going to Seaside for the St. Patrick's Day parade weekend for well over 10 years now. The past 5 years we have stayed at the Franklin Terrace. The place is a great value. I mean you're staying at a cheap shore motel so you can't compare it to a Hilton, Marriott, etc. The price is cheap (off season it's about $65 per night). It's a fantastic location! Close to the boardwalk, clubs and the main road where the parade is held. The rooms are not luxury, but they are clean and that's all I care about. Plus you get a fridge, stove, etc which is a great convenience. Our group takes up more than half of the motel when we go down and we have never had a problem (of course we are not young irresponsible kids either). I have only stayed there off season and would not recommend going during the summer as I can imagine it would be filled with aforementioned young, irresponsible kids celebrating prom, graduation, etc.
