Sad and disappointed experience
The hotel rooms are in process to be remodeled. The night is bad, and didnt feel safe. Someone kicked out bedroom door super aggressively and almost opened it if I wasn’t cuz we had the safety lock. We believe it was one of the teens on the hallways. There are also groups of them going to rooms, I’m assuming to party since now they seem to have a 10pm curfew.

Room Smells really bad. Musty and cigarettes combined smell. TV did not work. Loud AC that comes on and off all night. People hanging outside of my room smoking and drinking. Saw a cigarette butt floating in the pool. The only decent thing about my stay was the great shower pressure. Would never return.

Hi Deborah,ThankYou! for your feed back. If you had issued with your room you could have come to Hotel office and notify the front desk. its is possible due to wind its possible it could have fly in the pool but we clean and test pool everyday.About Guest hanging out of their room all guests are here on vacation to have good time and make memories.

Dear Guest, If you had issue with your room you could have come to front desk and we could have got you another room. Also, we have exterminator regularly spray all the property. We don't have any bugs unless you left the door open and flies came in your room.

Never stay here…EVER
The worst motel or hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Things were falling apart coming off the wall there was mold and water damage on the ceiling and the sheets and bedspread look like they were 20 years old. You could also see daylight coming in under the door which allowed some bugs to get into the room. Some electrical outlets did not work either.

Horrendous Hotel should be the name
Hotel is dated and things all around are broken. Someone needs to put money into this hotel. With the close location to the beach it would be a great attraction. Otherwise stay away.

This hotel was a disaster. From our neighbors finding crack pipes in the drawers, cleaners throwing food into parking lot and throwing glass bottles trying to hit a dumpster and not cleaning broken glass while the owner stood and watched all with children walking. There were blood stains soaked through to the mattress, clogged drains and smelled like something died in the room. The owner a short Indian man would just stare into peoples rooms at all hours. The pool was an absolute joke, in 3 feet of water you could not see your own feet, trash in the filters glass broken everywhere in the pool area, steps broken in the pool. This place is a scene from a horror movie

Read the reviews before you stay here! Old/gross
Old and gross is understatement. To be expected for Seaside Heights is below average, but this hotel hasn't been updated in probably 40 years aside from a few tvs. We brought Lysol, bleach, and Febreze and still couldn't get the stink out of the room. Beds and pillows awful, mold and dirt on walls. Outlets broken. Mold and rust on and in fridge. Bathroom was horrifying. $500 for a night here?! I pay less to stay in 4-5 star accommodations in Atlantic City. Needs to be gutted and remodeled. They won't do anything about it because it's Seaside but it's below average even for Seaside the money they charge is outrageous should be $50 a night the little dive motels on the side of the road in middle of nowhere better than this. Warn anyone who goes here how old and dirty it will be. DO NOT bring your family or little kids or old people here. No couples either. Threw out our clothes after sleeping here. Don't recommend to stay unless you have no choice.

My stay was for two days . It took me and my friend over an half hour just to check in the motel, then they placed us on the third floor when there is no elevator . The outside steps smelled like urine, and cigarettes laying around everywhere . Their outside pool step latter is broken I almost fell and slipped . This place is not recommended !!! And their Is also alcoholics/ drug attics that stay on property in the motel at night time you can’t even walk out your room ! Will never stay again

BLOOD AND BUGS - DO NOT STAY HERE
We got there on time and rooms were not ready - 90 min later when we got into a room - there was blood on the sheets,the blankets were on the floor and there were bugs. We immediately went down to get a refund - that was 5 days ago and i still don't have a refund - and this includes immediately calling hotels.com for help - after over an hour on hold to talk to someone, they told me, the hotel already issued a refund - really? 5 days later and I still have nothing. DO NOT STAY HERE. Do these pictures look like a room that is ready?

The room is very very dated, it wasn't clean upon arrival. The Bathroom door did not lock. The tub had chipped paint in it. The staff was just meh, didn't ask how the stay was nor did they care to ask about the room. It smelled of smoke as well. If they made some modern updates this would be a goo place to stay. The location to the boardwalk was very reasonable. So they should think about updating this type of room especially given the price I pay for it.
