As a NY-NJ guy I have been frequenting the Jersey Shore for over 50 years now. First time in a long time in Seaside Heights. This is the hotel that you will be renting at the Jersey Shore.Basically anywhere along the Shore. It's workable. All you really need for a weekend/weekday getaway. If you want a 5 star hotel, and don't mind driving to the beach you have to stay far from the beach. So if you are looking for a Park Ave Hotel just stay at Park Ave. The room was clean. We had what we needed. Bed, fridge, TV, bathroom. Overall the room was neat and clean when we checked in. Our room AC worked perfectly. ( I saw a few reviews where the AC was an issue). About a 10 min walk to the Boardwalk. Close by stores for coffee, breakfast, etc. The staff , the manager at the front desk. Polite, asked me how everything was, if I needed anything, quite a few times. Not wanting to sound like a snooty jerk. I haven't been in a hotel like this since I was in my late teens, early 20's. It brought back memories for sure. If you are looking for something practical and simple. I highly recommend.

My stay at Bay Breeze Motel was one of the worst experiences I’ve had at any motel. When I arrived, I was promised parking on the property, but there were no spots available. After finally finding a place to park nearby, the owner assured me that I was safe with the parking pass displayed in my rearview mirror. However, the next morning, I woke up to a parking ticket because I wasn't in the correct spot. When I brought this to the owner's attention, he simply said, \"This is your fault,\" and refused to help.

The room itself was in terrible shape. It was dirty when we arrived, and the bathroom was no better—grimy surfaces, unclean fixtures, and an overall lack of care in maintaining basic hygiene standards.

To top it off, the Wi-Fi was nowhere to be found, despite the front desk staff assuring me that it was available. When I tried to address all these issues with the person at the desk, they were completely unaccommodating and dismissive.

I strongly advise against staying at Bay Breeze Motel. Between the lack of parking, the unhelpful staff, and the poor room conditions, it’s just not worth it.

It was satisfactory for my needs for the location and the time where other hotels are much more expensive. The only thing I was concerned was the doors to go in and out they have the traditional turn key lock in the bottom the doors doesn’t slam shut unless you make sure the it’s locked from the inside. And you have to make sure when you leave the door is locked. If you loose your key there is 25$ charge.

I never even got out of my car because of what I saw once I pulled up outside. I knew I would be charged anyway but no way could I stay there with my kids. I have never in my life seen anything like this shole. I knew immediately by the look of the place it would be a disaster. Thank god we found a fabulous B&B a block from the beach and boardwalk. Expedia has totally mislead people into thinking this place is a family friendly motel. It is actually the most run down motel in the area and the pool is about as big as a bathtub. It was our first time visiting the shore and there are so many lovely motels and hotels. This place should just be torn down and rebuilt.

True review: the place is run down and filthy. The owner was really nasty, there were no parking spots. The owner told me to move trash and busted up bed frames to find a parking spot. There was a weird large mirror in the room that was suspicious. The shower was clogged. The towels were worn and stained. No sink in the bathroom. AC window unit was not cooling the tiny room. Just overall disgusting for over $300/night. We checked out after three hours and left because it was too gross to sleep there.

I understand why they make you pay in full before your stay, it’s so you can’t get your money back!! Upon arrival there was very little parking or room to fit our vehicle in some spots. Walking into the office we were greeted by friendly owner and head of ‘cleaning’ lady. I signed some kind of paper work and we were assigned our room, when saying the room# out-loud the cleaning woman said she had just finished cleaning the room and that we are all set. We were given a room on the 3rd, I can only assume that was because there were people living on the other floors. As soon as we opened the door to our room we were blasted with the strong smell of Fabuloso cleaner. There was no airing out the room with the one window and door open it was so strong. We turned the AC unit on and it pumped out nothing but cigarette smoke, like an astray was just cooling the room. The cleaners used so much of that cheap cleaner the floor was slimy. Everything we touched was slimy. As if they hadn’t watered down the cleaner and definitely used one rag to clean everything! We said to ourselves that it would be fine after it aired out but by the time we came back after dinner a show around 11:30pm it was just as worse as when we first arrived! We stayed the night but by morning we were still so grossed out and the cleaner smell was too much to take anymore.
We turned in our key and expressed that we won’t stay here again. We found something cleaner and cheaper one block from the boardwalk.

The internet was so slow, it took on average 15 minutes to get an adequate signal to even view emails and only if you sat outside the room. We were never able to get a strong enough signal to actually send any emails. They supplied only one of the world's smallest bars of soap and only one bath towel for two people. We stayed two nights and the maid brought a second towel the second day but cleaned nothing; didn't make the beds, didn't empty the trash. The TV worked in a spotty fashion. In order to get any hot water, you had to turn on the shower full blast for 10 minutes before the hot water came up. The proprietor was very nice and came to try to fix things when we asked but wasn't particularly effective. The beds were moderately comfortable and the room upon check-in was tolerably clean.

This is seriously the most disgusting hotel I’ve ever stayed at. We had to buy paper towels to clean ALL THE HAIR AND PUBIC HAIR off of the floor. I feel scarred for life. I cannot even begin to describe how bad this place smells and how gross it is. I want my money back. Cost $250. Seriously considering sleeping in my car. If anyone has a reservation there, see if you can cancel. Expedia really needs to consider not including this hotel. The noise at night sounded like crackheads fighting. We had to call the front desk multiple times, because we could not sleep, due to the noise.

This is like staying in a 1 star motel at a premium price.

At check in they require to hand write credit card number, expiration, and CVV on paper work, this is not legal or necessary.

Room is dirty, towels are what I use at home as rags, worlds tiniest prison soap, entire mattress is wrapped in plastic (thankfully blocking stuff) but one move on it sounds like a diaper, pillows non existent, AC works but not sure about air quality, strange permanent residents living at motel.

The whole situation there needs to be overhauled or these negative reviews will continue.

Bay Breeze is a bit of an older hotel and rooms don’t have every convenience, like a coffeemaker or hair dryer or tons of outlets.

But what it does have is more important to me. It was spotlessly clean. A wood floor instead of those gross rugs. A shower with great pressure and super hot water. A lovely staff.
The pool was very small but every clean and not crowded.

The one issue I had was there was no ice machine. Having just returned from a walk we didn’t feel like going back out. Ten minutes later the manager was knocking on my door, bag of ice in hand. That’s the kind of place this is.

It was clean, quiet and safe. Big tv, comfy beds and walkable to beach and boardwalk. Definitely recommend!

DO. NOT. STAY. HERE. SCAM!! Just save yourself the trouble. Not only are the rooms disgusting moldy and dirty, the owner is a COMPLETE psychopath. I’m still completely baffled by the situation. From the moment we stepped onto the property we were met with aggression and a disgustingly rude attitude from the owner. But it was 4th of July so we didn’t want it to get to us. We added an additional person to the room which we paid for. A family member stopped by our car to drop money off, and immediately the owner runs out YELLING at them that they can not be there and need to go. I understand that there’s a no visitors policy, they were not visiting !!! They didn’t even step foot in the room. Literally just in the parking lot for less than 2 minutes. At this point we haven’t even been at the hotel an hour, I come and try to explain that they are not visitors, just dropping something off and they’re leaving. Owner immediately goes NOPE he’s calling the police on us to evict us!!! WHAT? At this point we can’t even believe the reaction of this guy. So the police show up, we explain the situation to them, and they go “oh yea we deal with this guy all the time we’re always here to evict people for him for no reason” are you serious?? And you keep letting him?? We just grabbed our things and left and fortunately a nicer motel down the road was able to book us last minute. So basically DO NOT stay here unless you want the cops called on you for no reason and want your trip ruined! SCAM!
