The Seahawk has a great location: Open your door, and you hear nothing but the roar of the ocean.
At least that is what I *used* to hear when I went to the Seahawk. This last time, on my last night there, was a sad exception. What sounded like a drunken domestic argument got to the point where I went to the front desk to get another room. I was told I wouldn't get another room at that late hour (1 a.m.-ish) because I couldn't tell the guy exactly where the argument was coming from. I just knew it was near my room, but that was not enough for the Mighty Keeper of the Keys. So I went back to my room and was treated to the loudest, absurdest sex noises (not even in pornos do people get that noisy) in the room next to mine. I was annoyed enough to simply leave at 3 a.m. and head home. Missed my last day on the beach because the front desk clerk wouldn't help.
It makes me sad, as I really like the Seahawk on a number of counts: location, as I've said, and the old-fashioned art-deconess of the hotel, which is a refreshing change from the pricey, sterile, corporate hotels that line the boardwalk. But I've found a nearby oceanfront hotel that has similarly cheap rates and seems to have a better grip on customer service. So that's where I'll stay next time.

This was our very first time at Sea Hawk Motel ,and we enjoyed their rooms ,suiming pool, the room balcony viewing the beach,board-walk and the rest. Parking was a bit tight and if it was full we allways had parking accross the street next to Ben and Jeries ICE-CREAM. Now we are ready to reserve our room for next year.

I stayed at this hotel in July 2011 the price was good so I made reservations in July to go back Aug 26, 2011...to stay for two nites, unknowing that Irene would be coming up the east coast. I called today Aug 25, to cancel and I was told that the first night would be charged to my credit card. I have friends that are staying at 5 different hotels in VA beach for this same weekend and all my friends were able to cancel their reservations with no penlty. Knowing that NC is evacuating all Visitors (NC is only an hour away down the coast) who in their right mind would go to VA beach only to be told to leave the area. I think Seahawk should have been More considerate. I think I will stay else where from now on.....

I just made a reservation to stay at this motel for one night in September and I subsequently received a call telling me that I need to send a check or MO for the room rate for the night in order to confirm my reservation???This in spite of the fact that I used my credit card on their online reservation system to make the reservation? I have traveled all over the world and I have made reservations at hotels for many years and have NEVER been asked to send a check or MO to confirm the reservation. As a matter of fact we have never been charged until after check out. Needless to say I canceled the reservation. Curious to know if anyone else had to mail in a check before they actually arrived and stayed at this hotel when using the online reservation system, which by the way, says nothing about this whole mail a check after you give us our credit card number for a reservation.
