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.

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.

Great staff and pool
It was nicer then i thought it was going to be for the price. The pool was great. Staff was very friendly. But the bathroom had a bad smell the first night. I ran some water down the shower drain. It helped. Other then that it was nice. Closes to the beach and we could see the boardwalk from our door.

Dirty run down dump
Dingy dirty run down tiny room. Don’t know how this meets any codes to rent out . Not even a chair or table in the room. Half inch gap on the front door going outside . Ceiling tiles screwed and spackled on. Toilet was loose , can’t expect much in seaside but this was terrible.

Great location but no TV and rough room.
The TV did not work, the fan in the bathroom sounded like an injured animal and my phone calls to the hotel were never answered. Messages were never returned conserning the TV. The sheets had someone else’s hair on it and some stains. The location is amazing and my young boys had a great time but I won’t use this hotel again mainly because the TV had 0 chance of ever working and that felt like a rip off.

The outside looks very good. However the room we were given had fallen tiles in the bathroom. We were then given another room. It had decaying plumbing, gnats all over, we we were there for three nights and NEVER received any room service (cleaning or even fresh clean linen). Overall, it was poorly maintained and just plain worn out.
