I would not recommend this property. The worse part for me was the pool!!! Picture looked beautiful but it looks very dirty all over the sides and the water looks cloudy. You have to bring your towels to office to get new ones, which at first didn't seem like a big deal but is actually very inconvenient. You have to Take your own trash out and ask office for new trash bags. The office is often locked and not always someone there. We had to request sheets for the fouton as there was none. I will not stay again

Unsatisfied customer!!!!
When I arrived at 3:30 pm there was no one to check us in, I had to call a number and wait 15 minutes. The guy had a real attitude on the phone and in person. He said he was going to show me where the parking was, since there was limited parking at the facility. I unloaded my car, he was gone !!! I had to wait another 15 minutes for him to come back, after 4 calls to his phone, that he wasn’t answering. It was next to impossible to get any hand towels. I could go on for awhile, but I’m not. I’ll never go there again, the extra money I paid compared to the other motels wasn’t worth it.
Pool was filthy!!

The place is convenient located to the beach and boardwalk but the property is exactly what a motel has a reputation to be. If was very noisy as if someone was moving furniture all night. The pool doesn’t open until 10 am.

Some atypical things you should know: (1) check-in "ends" at 10:00 pm, so if your travel is delayed, be sure to call the desk and ask them to remain open so you can check in. (2) the free breakfast consists of coupons for a small deli down the street where you can have either an egg/cheese sandwich on a roll or a bagel with cream cheese plus either an orange juice or a coffee. (3) the pool doesn't open until 10:00 am. (4) the railing leading to the second floor was quite loose. The motel's decor is dated, but it was reasonably clean, reasonably priced compared to the local competition, and reasonably close to the beach.

We were not told the room would not be cleaned during our stay. We had to bring our towels back and forth ourselves in order to get new ones. The rooms next to us were noisy through the night and the room was not as pictured online. It was a very misleading description and we would not stay here again.

This hotel is in a great location to the boardwalk and to the beach. It was close enough to get around but far enough away that we couldn’t hear loud partiers on the boardwalk. If you are into a place for its location and don’t mind packing a few extra items to make it a pleasant stay (comforter, wash cloths, toiletries), it’ll work for you!

The location was excellent, one block from the beach and boardwalk, with many restaurants nearby. Older motel - had a 2 bedroom apartment with attempts at updating. Cracks in the tiles in the bathroom where a new sink was put in. Mismatched furniture with hard mattresses. No toiletries at all. The advertised hair dryer which though asked for did not make an appearance. No kitchen supplies at all. The pool did not open on time. No one is usually in the office. Only towels, no washcloths or bathmats.Had to buy items usually provided. Lots of chairs by the pool. A couple fighting in the room above us with no management to quiet them down. Though Monday night price was $100 less, we were charged the same for Sunday and Monday. Not happy with Orbitz or the motel

Great location, close to board walk and restaurants. Staff were friendly and restocked towels and toilet paper when needed. We have stayed in other hotels in seaside and this was by far cleaner and had a nice pool area. Pool was very clean. Top blanket on bed and washcloths not provided but wasn't a big deal due to reading on their website before we went. They have big gas grills of you want to cook out.

Near the beach, boardwalk and a few restaurants. The rooms could definitely be more updated. Our room smelled very musty and damp. No blankets....what does this have to do with "precautionary measures we are taking to continue having a safe summer". We had to go to the office to ask for more towels, which were paper thin and basically useless. No one emptied our trash. I guess I expected a little more.

The day staff was great- night staff was EXTREMELY rude, stove didnt work, mold in the bathroom, wall look like they were peed all over, tiles missing on the floor, dirty hair ties on the floor, beds creek and are hard, blood stained sheets on the bed, locks didnt work- someone was able to open our door and rip the molding off the wall, never brought clean towels when requested, parking was AWFUL- they woke my child and myself from our nap to YELL at me to move my car over 4 inches even though they told me to park there ... the place should be shut down!

The office was barely open. Our toilet clogged and I left a message for the front desk and never heard back so I called 5 hours later and they brought me the plunger to do it myself. The pool is to be open at 9am and it gets open when the staff decides too. Won’t ever stay here again!

We stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment. Very pleasantly surprised when we got the top floor corner with a view of the boardwalk! Pros: •Proximity to boardwalk (1 block) •Friendly, patient staff •Apartment comfortably fit 3 friends •TV, Fridge, Stove, Microwave •AC •Closet Space Cons: •Wifi barely worked •Some updates needed (Kitchen Sink needs new faucet, a window is broken, blinds aren’t in great shape) •”Continental Breakfast” was just a $2-$3 coupon for each person, basically a free coffee Overall a great find in Seaside Heights. Would highly recommend for the area. Some of these reviews clearly did not read the description/messages from the hotel...

The place didn't look like the pictures. The pool was a lot smaller, the beds had stains on the sheets, it wasn't very clean and the kitchen didn't come with any pots or pans or even a toaster. Wasn't very pleased for how much we paid

I booked a 2 bedroom apartment at the motel. As soon as I walked into the apartment it was ridiculously hot. We turned the AC on but it took all night to finally feel some real coolness and the AC is located in the living room area so the bedrooms remained uncomfortably hot the first night. It wasnt up until the 2nd night after leaving the AC on all day, that the place finally felt comfortable. The apartment was not cleaned properly. The floors werent mopped, and the table was dirty also which made me wonder about the cleanliness of the bedding. The best part of the place was its nice Pool area, the kids really enjoyed that. And the motel was also just 1 block away from the boardwalk which was very convenient. They also provided on site free parking which was also convenient but spots are limited. All in all, the place was not the best but also not the worst.

Website says one thing and we show up and it’s another. Please make sure to call and confirm before taking the trip thinking you’re going to get a room. God forbid you drive from Georgia to Jersey just to be told you don’t have a room to stay in meanwhile hundreds of miles away.

Overall a convenient location to the boardwalk and beach. We were provided vouchers for breakfast good at two local restaurants which were nice. While clean and exactly what we expected for Seaside Heights, the beds were quite old, loud (springs) and uncomfortable.

Definitely one of Seasides better motel.
For a Seaside motel this was decent and clean. I’ve stayed at a few motels in past years that were just nasty. One block from the boardwalk. BBQ grill at the pool area, with tables/chairs. We got the 2 bedroom for a family of five for a weekend. I would stay again
