Room was clean.
Bed was comfortable. A heavier comforter may have been nice.
Towels were just okay, but we were given extra upon arrival which we appreciated.
A newer, more updated coffeemaker would be great (Keurig) but I'm glad one was at least provided. Please switch over to paper cups though; you shouldn't be using styrofoam cups.

I was not impressed by the cost of a room that has plumbing pipes for curtain rods and toilet paper holder. My daughter was getting married in LBI and I came from SC expecting something a bit more elaborate for $250 a night. Just my opinion bcz I've stayed in many hotels in different states. Was not satisfied.

Facility is dated. Our room was too small to accommodate the standard table and chair or two that most hotels and motels have. A/C unit is a wall-sleeve window unit that was very loud, especially when the compressor was running. Pool is in poor condition; there are duck droppings on the deck courtesy of the ducks that inhabit the pool when it is not busy.

Comfortable stay

Super clean. Very nice room. Nice shower. We were in a room in the back on the ground floor. We had a little table and chairs both inside and outside. The bed was actually quite comfortable and I never feel like a bed is comfortable. They made it super easy to get to the room and it was even ready earlier than check in time which was nice since it was only an overnight stay. We would definitely stay there again.

I actually wrote a very detailed multi paragraph review, but Expedia didn't post it. They didn't explain to me WHY they didn't post it; they just didn't. All that remains is my rating. I'm sorry, but I wasn't happy with what I got for what I paid. A broom closet-sized room with a metal stool and small plank of wood for a \"desk\" and a bed with rock hard foam mattress. Plus, no maid service or even a functioning ice machine. It was clean, I'll give you that, but it was extremely uncomfortable and too expensive for what it was. I expected a lot more for the cost.

This was a very clean motel, but lacked some basic needs for a longer stay. My sister and I only stayed one night, but anything over 3 nights would be tough especially if more than 2 people are sharing a room. The biggest challenge was that there was only one tiny mirror in the whole room and that was the small vanity mirror above the bathroom sink. So unless you bring your own mirror, only one person can get ready (hair, makeup, etc) at a time. Every hotel room should have a bathroom mirror as well as a full length wardrobe mirror somewhere in the room. We also had a room on the 3rd floor and there was no elevator. So, if you have large luggage or multiple bags, you will feel like you got your workout in for the day. Ground level rooms should be requested for older people or for people with mobility issues. I also think that beach badges should be included in the price of our stay. They were an extra charge of $5 pp per day. The room though for the bare bones that it is, was exceptionally clean. I would consider staying there again if I only need a one night stay, but I’ll be sure to pack lighter. It’s in a great spot on the island, centrally located and close to restaurants and shopping.

I booked a 1 queen bed and got 2 twin or full beds. No one was there to talk to. There wasnt any extra toilet paper in the room just 1/4 of a roll. The coffe pot wasnt cleaned in i don't know how long and the non dairy creamer packs were as hard as a rock, so probably very old. The room was extremely small and not the room i had booked. Kind of annoyed but the beds were comfortable.

Nice no frills little place near beach

The location is really good it’s very close to the beach and walking distance to some things on Long Beach bl. It was our first time there and we were happy the place was clean very updated room and bathroom tiny though. Wasn’t given a bath rug for coming out of the shower so had to use one of the bath towels. Paid for beach passes at the desk. Pool was basic nothing special but for a motel it was ok. The rooms were good but very small and for the price I know it’s high season but I paid like $400 per night I feel like that is too much. You pay for the location. Definitely no frills but I appreciate the clean and comfortable beds.

The room was clean and the staff was friendly. Checking in and out was easy. None of the windows in the room could be opened. They were literally sealed shut so the nice ocean breeze couldn't be enjoyed in the room. One of the reasons we booked a room at this hotel was the pool. Unfortunately the water was filthy. There were actually ducks swimming in it and gross stuff floating in it.

You could tell the room had been remodelled recently and the decor fit a shore property. The rustic hardware touches in the bathroom added a charm to the room. Felt perfectly safe wallking the area.

Originally put in a room that was leaking. They quickly changed us to a new room. But the day of check out they were “spraying the parking lot” and needed us to move our car and rushed us out. It was frustrating. But still clean and a nice set up. Definitely served it’s purpose.

We had a leak in our bathroom dripping from the ceiling. We informed the staff who quickly attempted to stop the leak. Their efforts worked for a little while but the leak later continued. We could not stay in the room and the staff ended up being rude and unwilling to work with us on a partial refund. It was an unpleasant experience and I would not recommend this place, especially at it's current price.

Ok in general but not for the money...

While we would have preferred to stay in a house, this was a last minute trip, so this is what we got. Even though it is right on Long Beach Blvd, the pool was awesome...clean and well appointed, with great music playing. The room was tiny...could barely get around the beds to get into the bathroom. The beds were memory foam and birth the beds and the pillows were extremely comfortable. When it was low tide on the bay, you could smell it though the air conditioner. The filter in the AC needed to be changed.
Here is my biggest problem...the had HS kids cleaning the rooms because they couldn’t get their regular workers from outside the country due to the virus. HS kids can’t clean. This is especially concerning now. I had to have them come back each day and redo. Also, none of the staff was wearing masks while moving about the property and cleaning the rooms. There was also no guidelines in terms of how many people could be in the pool area or any suggestion of distancing while at the pool.

They advertise being open from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM. When we got there, we had to call someone to let them know we were there. We were told our room number, that the door was unlocked, and the key was on the table. The next morning no one was in the office so I had to call to let them know we were leaving. I said there had been an issue (about cleanliness) but no one would come to the room. I never saw one staff member at all. We had people partying until about 3:00AM. Without staff, there was no one to call. If you didn't have a phone you would have been out of luck. I will never stay there again
