The hotel door to our room was just locked with a button on the very wobbly doorknob. Anyone could push it open. I pushed a rusty tilted office chair under the knob. Only one key (not a card). There is a liquor store directly across the street The hotel was extremely old and needs a complete makeover. Only one table lamp and a small light over the oven for the entire room. A cabinet door was missing. One star ⭐️ overall is being generous. Not recommended unless you are totally desperate like we were. Only good thing about La Fonta is that you can walk to the boardwalk, this one star.

Typical seaside heights crack motel
So i get there. And they tell me theres a $100 deposit that wasnt mentioned amywhere online when i booked the room. Then they tell me that theyre full and are sensing me down the atreet to the cloud 9 inn. Oh okay. Great. Still has a pool and i dont have much of a choice bc it was nonrefundable. The dude at the front desk was nice but thats about it. The room had ants, looked like it hadnt truly been cleaned/mopped it god knows how long. Bathtub had mildew and drain was clogged. The door to the room didnt shut right. Overall it was looking like the typical seqside crack motel. I have to say though, the comforter and sheets were suprisngly clean looking and smelling.

We've been coming here to this same motel for 3 years in a row, my kids love the pool there and its close to the waterpark/amusement park boardwalk and beach. We'll be back next year!

If there was a lower grade I’d give it as we arrived late, took almost 20 min to wake up staff to open. The second we walked in the smelly unsafe room, we decided to stay in our cars realizing any other room would be same if not worse.

Motel has a lot of potential for it size and setup having a nice mini kitchen with a full size refrigerator and plenty counter space. They still have a problem with the upkeep in the cleaning department of not wiping down furniture and appliances. Overall it's ok and will return but with my own cleaning supplies.

Good location & price
This place is adequate for a night or two. Do not expect a 5 star motel. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We were able to have the pooch for a $20/night fee. It's close to the boardwalk and other attractions. The motel could use some updates but it worked for us.

I don't like to leave bad reviews but this one is well deserved. If you are looking for to stay I don't recommend this place. Not that cleaned and bad service. I had to leave this place 3 hr after check in, staff promised a refund, after days of waiting called the motel to ask explain my case again and I assume the manager told me that I will not get a refund. Don't waste or lose your money here.

This the worst "motel" experience of my entire life.. I drove 2 and a 1/2 hours to arrive at this motel, and booked it hours in advance and received confirmation on the room, for them to tell me that the hotel was fully booked and overbooked, And that they did not even have a room for me. They then proceeded to go get the manager of the property who was not even wearing shoes and was not listening to the fact that I already had a reservation booked, He made a few phone calls and put me in another motel that they own called the flamingo inn, i also then had to PAY OVERNIGHT PARKING ON THE STREET DUE TO LACK OF SPOTS AT THE MOTEL. Motel was disgusting, we wouldnt even shower for the 2 nights we were there because of how dirty it was. There's even holes in the staircase to get to the upstairs rooms. Dirty, unreliable, and unbearable motel and overall experience.
