I am so sad to give Sea Spray a one star review because the staff who work there were very nice - BUT - I paid on Expedia and they told me that the charge didn't go through and I needed to pay again. I paid again. Before leaving, I saw that the first charge had gone through - unfortunately Anthony is the only person who could process my reimbursement was not in at the time. I questioned why he would be compelled to help me after I had already checked out (I was leaving early in the morning before he reported to work) and they assured me that this type of thing happened and Anthony would be sure to get me refunded.

I have called several dozen times and sent numerous emails - not one single reply from the elusive Anthony.

It has been 6 weeks of leaving messages and trying to get this taken care of with zero response.

Great hotel for the price! The rooms are a bit dated, but super clean! Beds are comfortable. The pool was a hit and also really clean, my kids had a blast. The woman who checked us in was extremely friendly and helpful. I liked the location as it is farther down from Fantasy Island and quiet, but still only a 3 minute drive to everything. Bonus, the beach is literally across the street. Basic hotel with all your needs. I was very happy with my stay.

This is a nice little hotel in LBI that is reasonably priced and provides all the basics you need. It's not over the top but has a clean pool, good location, nice sized rooms, BBQ grills and a very welcoming front desk staff. They will provide beach badges too.

Can’t go wrong

Some might call this a typical LBI no-frills hotel. On some levels, I would agree. However, the rooms are always very clean, always get a nice hot shower, the staff is tremendous, and they have a very nice pool! There’s also activities for the kids to play outside, a great bonus. Gas grills are available to use with plenty of picnic tables to hang out and cook poolside.
Our air conditioner was a little wonky this time, but it was adequate. Labor Day weekend prices were a bit steep, but that’s hard to avoid on LBI. This is also a great location literally across the street from the beach. Can’t ask for too much more!

great service

Check in was great. The receptionist was very helpful and friendly. We went early because we had to leave our rental house. We just wanted to see if we could get our beach badges and the woman told us if the room was ready we could check in and get in the room. It was ready so we checked in at about 11 a.m. instead of 3. The pool was really nice and clean. Good location, close to Beach Haven town center. They also had a bunch of gas grills you could use to cook. The grills where really clean too. We will definitely stay here again.

antiquated lodging

the room smelled like bleach when we opened the door. the bed just had a mattress on six legs, It was not even anchored to the floor, like a roll out bed. The floor was kind of sticky, and sandy feeling. There was very loud music in the court yard that played all day till about 7pm. There was a bed lamp that did not work, I told the front desk but it was never fixed, so we switched it with another, even that one was to dim.

The woman that checked me in, went out of her way to accommodate my request to be on the second floor. The grounds and the rooms are clean,however my feet were black from walking on the floors in the room. Might need to wash the floors. I would bring my slippers next time. It was nice and quiet,though we did stay at a quieter time of year. Shops and restaurants are a short drive away,and easy access to the beach and the beautiful beach at the nature preserve a short drive away. Easy check out. Also a nice pool on the grounds.

I just spent three days in Beach Haven, NJ for a 52 year reunion at a local theatre. The Sea Spray motel was the perfect spot for my stay. My room was spotlessly clean, the shower had plenty of hot water and the bed was “firm” but quite comfortable. There is a pool and it is an easy walk across the street to the beach. Nearby are a dub shop and frozen custard. There is a shuttle that drives up and down the island and stops right out front. This is not a fancy resort—it is a family friendly classic “motel.” Very happy I chose this spot for my stay!

The pool is relatively new and clean. It rained the 4 days we visited LBI so we were in the room a lot. The air conditioner did not cool the room. We told the front desk and someone came and looked at it but it made no difference.
I loved the cleaning crew of teen boys. They are personable, kind, and do a great job. They arrived early each day to clean the room, usually while we were out in the morning.
I will definitely return!

Gross hotel, rude management

Checked in with my small kids and they gave us a room that stunk of cigarettes. Went to the manager and he said there was nothing he could do as there was no vacancies (while not being super nice about it). After I broke down crying trying to find a new place, he “felt bad” and mysteriously found me an available room. Hotel was dirty, not up to par, and the manager was rude. I’ll never stay here again and definitely don’t recommend

We/ve been coming to LBI for years, this is our first (but won't be the last) visit south of Beach Haven. 1 block from the beach (as in, cross the street in front, and then find the path to the beach), quiet nights, 1 mile from all the activity / food you might want, great room (we had a stove, fridge, microwave, plates, cups, utensils) - so we could have cooked in, or, used one of the grills and ate at a picnic table by the pool. Pool was warm and clean, workers are very nice. walking distance to breakfast in the morning and ice cream at night. Just a wonderful visit, great place to stay. Well worth the money spent.
