A jagged piece of Sea Glass

This Seaside Hotel is a conveniently close to all the fun kinda place. The staff are all so nice and accommodating. The pool is nice for the kids and the beach is across the street with beach access practically midway on the boardwalk. The rooms are dated but clean and air conditioners keep the room nice and cool. The showers are tiny but water pressure and hot water is great. I bring my own pillows and blankets for comfort. The stairs to 2nd and 3rd floor are a bit dated but this hotel is an antique to the Jersey Shore. The microwave and mini fridge are a bonus. You get what you pay for so don't expect 5 stars but they really do their best for the amount of people this place accommodates. Parking is available but interesting when full capacity is reached. Its a great place for those who can keep an open mind that are looking for a affordable getaway for including beach badges is just exceptional with home cooked breakfast across the street at Jimmys. It can be a little noisy at times because LOTS of kids are having fun and some adults let loose and drink a little too much sitting outside the rooms. I guess their people watching because there is no ocean views.

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

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.
