Where do I begin? This place is shady. They keep customer drivers license behind the desk unattended for who know who to potentially steal. The rooms reek of mold. Room doors could be broke down by my 5 year old, while huge gaps at the bottom. Locks are keyed so they are easy to break into. Bathroom had a huge hole above the shower that lead unto the floor above. The prices are outrageous for what you get. Run away from this place as fast as you can it is utterly disgusting & unsafe!

Location was good but other then that horrible. Room was gross and the blinds where ripped off and under the bed. Had to use a blanket to cover the window. Mirror in bathroom was broke. Never got my deposit back. Called about 7 times now and they keep telling me to call back. Still trying to get my security back. DO NOT STAY HERE.

Dirty, moldy, stinky. Felt very unsafe. Should be condemned. I cleaned everything, lots of black mold. No mattress pads on beds. Had to put a chair under door know for safety as very poor lock on outside door. Should be condemned and fined for false
advertising. Do not recommend for anyone.

Pretty spacious, we got the 1 br apartment suite. However the door was missing a locking mechanism well, part of it. We were still able to lock the door pushing our fingers through the hole. Bathroom had a leaking toilet and sink when flushed but not a massive leak just a bit of water would run. Also bathroom is VERY cramped and tiny. If you are over 6 foot good luck doing anything in there. Wifi is also very low speed for 2021. Also beds were mostly broken or lopsided, especially the frames. So we pushed the mattress on the floor and slept there. Very nice and helpful people who operate the place

The motel itself is extremely dated, poorly appointed, and poorly furnished. I thought it was clean, but not spotless. That being said, it's located immediately on the boardwalk which is a major bonus. Parking was across the street...not bad.

A negative 10 would be appropriate fir our “3 bedroom sweet” that we booked online! After arriving with our 3 children we were handed keys to 3 separate(yes separate) rooms in what I would call a basement with no windows to speak of! The bathroom was a “ common “ bathroom located in the hallway! When we told the manager there is no way we could have our young children sleep in separate rooms he offered 100$ off! The rooms smelled of mold, bedding was damp, dirty would be an understatement. Please do not book without physically seeing the rooms! We would have been better in our car or sleeping

We booked 2 nights for $1046.83... the 1st night when we checked into the room, the lock was broken, and it was easily accessible with a credit card from the outside. There's no chain lock for additional safety from inside. The bed and floor was dirty, we felt so uncomfortable staying there, we had no choice but to drive back home (about 90 mins) to sleep for the night. We only used the room to shower after visiting the beach. It was ridiculously filthy and unsafe. Wish we can get at half of our money back for this rundown "hotel". We will NEVER recommend this to anyone. :-(

Really a 3.5. Location was great. The rooms had wood paneling, and a bit gloomy because windows were small....but clean....bathroom small but nice stand up shower....also included in room microwave and small refrigerator which was helpful for cold cuts and drinks. Big plus 👍 motel is "Pet Friendly" for an extra $50.00 fee. Parking was 3 blocks 🤨 away but free ☺️. Rooms definitely needs updating. Staff was nice and we were right next to the Jersey Shore House "bitches😆" Overall really enjoyed the location, yes I would go back.❤️

Terrible place to stay!! The front desk lady is so rude! The sheets were dirty! And there was mold on the wall right next to where I was sleeping and I noticed it and complained! They then came and just wiped it off but then I noticed it in other locations of the room! Beware!! Do not stay here!! Please see attached mold pictures

Good motel, great location, relatively clean. However, the mildew scent wasn't pleasant. Had to buy air fresheners to help the smell. Definetly could have used another blanket on the beds. Felt like a table cloth, truly. I would HIGHLY recommend bringing an extra blanket or two. Bathrooms were small but had all the utilities needed. Liked it in general.

My experience with this motel is a good one!! Of I came here during the off season so I didn't have to deal with all the "wristband" dilemmas the other reviews mention here. I have ZERO complaints, if I get the opportunity to return to Seaside Heights (on an off peak season) I would stay here again!!!

My 87-year-old mother and I checked into this motel on September 1 for a one-week stay. If I could give this hotel zero stars that is exactly what I would give them.

We were on the first floor and there was a party going on above our heads for the first three days. After the first day I started looking for other accommodations but, there is nothing available.

Our sleep patterns were completely interrupted and we're unable to enjoy the first three days.

In addition, after the first night I woke up with a bite mark on my stomach. For the next four nights I woke up with more bite marks and

Terrible . didn't have a bathroom in our room . our room was practically in the basement . had to wear wristbands to be in the hotel , i didn't wear mine but when we went to check out they weren't going to give us our 50$ security deposit back because i didn't know where it was so i had to pull apart all my packed stuff in the car to find it . only good thing is the location . right next to the famous jersey shore house and right on the board walk . if you spent the extra 100$ for a room on the top floor i bet your experience will be better and you will have a bathroom in your

My friends and I were really looking forward to a girls weekend at this hotel this weekend. We were willing to travel 7 hours to enjoy all of the sights and attractions Seaside has to offer. Unfortunately, due to the tropical storm watch they are currently under, we decided it was not the best idea to go. We called and spoke with the owner and he was extremely rude, disrespectful, and is charging us for a full night of $189 when the cancellation policy online states they charge $50. We wanted to reschedule our trip, not cancel it all together and he was not willing to do that. The owner was

Horrible experience at this place. My family & I spent 3 nights here. This place is more like a jail than a motel. You get a list of rules when you check in, you have to wear a wristband to enter the rooms, you are not allowed to have any guests to your room- they will charge you for guests and have a watchman checking wristbands at the entrance. They charged us an additional $35 per night for my 15 month old infant & 11 year old niece, seriously who charges additional fees for children?? The staff was very rude as well. The rooms are outdated & have faulty appliances. They will charge

I would not recommend this place especially if your on a budget. They surprise you with additional fees for everything! It's Not a comfortable place to be at and the staff wasn't too friendly either. The only thing good about this place was that it was on the boardwalk.

I stayed here during 4th of July weekend and I was thoroughly impressed. The room was clean and relatively spacious ( I had zero complaints). It was a 2-room... room with a TV and working air conditioner.

The best part about staying here was that our room was RIGHT on the boardwalk. You walked out the door, took 4 steps and you were on the boardwalk. Jersey Shore Cafe was across the street, as in seen from the room window.

THE Jersey Shore house is actually next door. I thought that was kind of interesting.

My parents paid for the room so I can make any comments on price. What I can say though
