Perfect location for everything. If you are fancy you may not like this place, but if you are a sensible person with normal expectations this is a perfectly clean and decent place to rest your head right in the center of all the action. My daughter absolutely loved the pool and the staff were super friendly. Again we were not there for the hotel room. This is the best place I found after 20 years of visiting every summer for the location and budget

Good Seaside Heights motel.

Always a good time at this place! Their pool is perfect... right on the main road so you can see all the interesting people walking by lol. Good staff members. Super close to the boardwalk, right across the street. It's what you would expect from a hotel in Seaside Heights. For the price, I definitely recommend this place.

Front desk staff was very nice to chat with. room 215, the bed farthest from the door sank in fairly bad but we just moved to the bed next to it and it was fine, other than that it was good for the price point with how close it was to the beach, no complaints. i would come back.

Amazing location, pool needed a little TLC

The room and bathroom were clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Distance to beach and boardwalk were AMAZING! It would have been great if there had been some pans and cooking utensils that came with the kitchen so we didn't have to bring and/or purchase knives, cutting boards, pots and pans, etc. The pool is in desperate need of updating. Dozens of the tiles were falling off into the pool and leaving the sharp cement underneath exposed. But the kids had an awesome time and for the price we really couldn't beat the location.

Street parking is free for disabled. Great location for the boardwalk. Staff was super nice. Those are the only positives. Do not stay here unless you like risking your life with every step you take! The floors along the outside hallways and inside the bathroom are all rotted out and only covered in paint. I almost fell down a flight of stairs twice. Blood on the pillow cases. Dead bolt doesn't work and it looks like almost every door in the hotel has been busted in and poorly fixed. TV didnt work
