Ok so…. We literally discovered BEDBUGS in our room after the second day. When we brought this information to the staff member and manager, we were met with push back and blame. They both seems very inconvenienced due to the fact the time was 12am rather then the fact there were bedbugs in our room. I was so upset, I’ve never ever in my life encountered bedbugs before so I was quite beside myself. It was raining. It was the middle of the night. Having to find a new place to stay in the middle of the night in an unfamiliar place was just awful. Thank goodness the new place I found had an open lobby and the check in was seamless. I’m still waiting to be contacted by the owner of the property as I was told, I would be the night I left.

This motel is straight out of the 1970s! I mean that (mostly) in a good way. It's well preserved and obviously well taken care of. It's like staying in a kitschy time machine.

My two concerns were that its dog-friendly nature resulted during my stay in a great deal of random barking as the guest pets reacted to each other. The other was that the wifi was . . . well, about as effective as it would have been in the 1970s, which is to say that it was unusable. That's a shame, as I had work to do and it did not get done.

OK, so this place is very old-school and may seem undesirable as you approach. This is the kind of place where you park your car right outside your room door. BUT, it was clean (cleaner than many \"chain hotels\" I've stayed at recently. The check-in was prompt and courteous. The room was sparsely furnished, but had everything I needed: refrigerator, with a small freezer area (perfect for my ice packs) and microwave. Very nice modern large TV. Bed was comfortable. Small patching of prior damage to floor, but the floor and bathroom were spotless. The only thing I was missing is a hair dryer. Not a big deal for my short stay. Would stay here again if in the area.

It was very clean and accommodating to people with dogs. The staff was very friendly as well. My only issues were that the AC wouldn't stay on long after setting the thermostat, and i wish the dog area was better fenced in near the busy road. However, I'm extremely happy to have a place that allowes pets at all. Plus there's a dog park literally a couple streets away from the motel. There's plenty to do close by and I would absolutely stay again.

There were a pair of someone else’s socks left under the bed which make me question how often the room are cleaned. Check-in was very easy but I called the front desk later on to ask how to adjust the air conditioning and no one called me back. The room was dark and could use a coat of paint.

Awful awful, awful, smelly room, musty, old old ni

The room smelled musty. The overall look of the room was old the bed. I didn’t even sit on the bed. I didn’t think it was clean while the inside of the refrigerator was clean the outside had stains. It was basic. It was not comfortable whatever the review is on wonderful are I am certain they are from the owners Friends. Nobody in their right mind would stay in this room. The door lock was was not a good luck. There was a view in the room of a wall. If I was to say what this was, it was a no tell Motel. and that room was not up to the standard to even $100. I didn’t go back into the room I got in the car went to a restaurant started making phone calls and getting on the Internet and found a beautiful B&B for $100 I never went back I was told I would not get a refund as I booked it through hotels.com and the owner was not going to give a refund this review is the best I can tell everyone stay away do not book at this motel.b by the way, I got out of there so fast I couldn’t take a picture but believe me I couldn’t stay in the room. It smelled bad.

This is a small older motel with very few amenities. I would say it was neatly kept but nothing special. The pool was nice. The rooms are a nice size and have a refrigerator and microwave. The TV was very large and nice. It was great if you are looking for something simple without all the frilly stuff. Very good location, it was simple to get to the Manasquan inlet and beach. If you love to fish this is the place and it also had a very nice bike trail really close.

The staff was nice, but this place needs a complete overhaul. It is worn out and dated looking. There are broken blinds or no blinds on the windows covered with old dirty-looking curtains. We checked in and returned much later to go to bed, and found that the sheets did not look like they had been changed from former guests. (something sticky on the sheets - yuk). We slept on top of the covers. Blanket and spread both had holes in them. The next morning I asked for clean sheets to be left in the room so I could put them on myself (after examining them). The young lady was kind and did as I asked, so our second night was a little better. Bathroom was also old and dated, but towels seemed fresh. Shower had floor damage, but seemed to have been cleaned. I would probably never stay at this place again unless it was an emergency. The whole place needs a complete refresh including all new bedding. Pillows were like pancakes. The bed was not very comfortable even with clean(er) beddding.We paid almost $200 per night in season for a very sub-par accomodation.
