It is clean, the owners and staff were helpful and accommodating within their means. Breakfast was good and the portions were enormously. Quite and walkable to various destinations. Property itself is a little dated, it looks like they are slowly trying to upgrade rooms, furniture etc...

Love the Windjammer!

Love this place! We come every year and have never been disappointed. The Windjammer is not the Ritz, but the rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, the pool is awesome and we have never ever felt unsafe! We will continue to come back every year as long as the management stays the same. This place is a great value and we love it!

This was a nice stay. Very much enjoyed our stay. The staff were absolute studs, the pool was nice and clean. It was quiet and only a block from the beach. Extremely convenient. AND you get beach passes with your room! The place needs some major updating like the kitchen in the room looking like its from the 1960s lol. Stayed in room 24, the fan in the bathroom is about to fall out of the ceiling, I would look into that before it falls on someone. I'll def return though. My family and I really enjoyed ourselves!

It is inexpensive, but bare bones. Best part- close to the beach and boardwalk. No shower cap, no shampoo, no hair dryer. Rusted mini frig in the room next to huge stain on the floor. Lobby door is locked at 9 pm in the colder months, so need to check in before then or ring a bell and wait.

The property is in a great location, near the beach and close to many restaurants and stores. Staff was courteous. It was quiet at night. The property and rooms are extremely outdated (I think everything was the same since we stayed here in 1982). There was NO toilet paper when we arrived, had to go to lobby to ask for it, arrived over an hour later! Kids enjoyed the pool. We had an efficiency room that is VERY dated, one burner on stove set off smoke alarm, limited pots and pans and dishes, almost no utensils. For what we paid, we could have stayed in a fantastic hotel in many other places. We know the costs at the beach have risen, but for what we paid (and everyone else who stays there), improvements are needed.

The property is in a great location very near popular beaches and restaurants. Most staff were courteous. It was quiet so I was able to get a good nights sleep. The property unfortunately is way outdated but has a great in ground pool that is well maintained. Our room was not cleaned well , there was black mold in the shower faucet and strands of hair in the bathroom. Also carpet smelled remnants of smoke and large amounts of dust accumulated on the floor. We had an efficiency room and the utensils had to be washed and oven was in poor condition with knob missing. The housekeeper walked in to our room unexpectedly luckily the door chain was on. Overrall much improvement is needed and the property could have great potential.

Classic Seaside motel I went to when I was a kid and now I brought my family back to it 40 years later. The place hasn’t changed a bit. Most importantly the rooms were clean. Kids loved the pool. It did have a lot of cigarette butts all around the hallways. We had to get two rooms having five kids. My wife’s room door wouldn’t open when they were inside the room so they had to climb out the window. Definitely a fire hazard. I was surprised they didn’t offer something to us for the inconvenience. The Bloody Mary and mimosas were small at the bar. And the breakfast was very overpriced for the quality of the food. Still enjoyed my stay there. It was very nostalgic and would probably still go back despite it all.
