Went for a weekend stay. It was very clean, well kept, staff was very nice at check in. Close walk to the boardwalk. It took us about 10 mins or less to walk with all of our beach stuff. Would love to stay here again! 😊

Jayne was veey nice and on top of things her customer service was definitely a 10. However the facility itself has a mild mildew smell coming out of the AC, there were ants crawling all over the wall in the kitchen, it was not as clean as it could have been, and there were also dead flies on the floor. I think thete is some work to do fir health and safety wise.

The 3 positives were the manager who was pleasant and was willing to accommodate our request to check in a little early, a coffee maker, and the location not too far from the beach. The negatives were many - very dirty floors and carpet, broken blinds, stained towels, a very uncomfortable bed that had only sheets on it and sparse outdated furniture. Would definitely not recommend staying there!!

For Seaside Heights, this was a very good hotel. Room was clean, had carpet, king size bed, bathroom worked, had plenty of hot water, new molded plastic shower stall. Bathroom door would not close (needs trimming). Unfortunately the AC unit is a nightmare!! It was like having a jet engine in your room- insanely loud. We slept about 2 hours. What a shame when everything else was pretty good .

This place does its job for a place to stay and take a shower on a trip to the beach. Nothing too spectacular but no complaints either. The room was cleaned well on the surface, comfortable bed and good size room. Only cons: There were some ants and only one nightstand. I would stay here again especially for the close distance walk to the boardwalk!

The room was spotless and the location is great. A few blocks away from the boardwalk and the restaurants area. Good value for the price you pay.
