This is a s newly renovated suite (we were in room 2 of 3 in total). The room itself was nice, with the exception that, to us, it smelled a bit like cigarette smoke. The Seaview staff member, Karlo, said that isn't possible and suggested it was the smell of the flooring, but that did not make sense to us. If you aren't very sensitive to cigarette smoke then it might not bother you.
The location close to the old town is very convenient and the view of the marina is great.
The biggest downside is getting into the suite from the street. There is a common entrance from the street into a kind of common indoor access area for many different units in several buildings. This area had garbage in it and definitely had a smell. From here there was about 8-10 steps up to another locked door to give access to the building. Once in that door, there was a full 3 and 1/2 flights of narrow stairs up to the third locked door that gave access to a vestibule for the 3 Seaview Luxury Retreat suites.
Summary: the room is nice, BUT you have to pass through a smelly area with garbage and at least 4 flights of stairs to get to the suites. If you have more than a small amount of luggage, or are not in shape, it is a difficult location to access. For my wife and I, we looked past the smell and we're in decent shape so we looked at the stairs as a bit of daily exercise, but we think it is important that anyone renting one of these units knows what they are getting into before renting.
