The hotel and staff are friendly but dated and tired. There are zero amenities. I can say the bathroom was clean and the room smelled better than it looked but that’s about it…

The Windjammer has charm, personality, and all the comforts you could want. A lot of places like this have been lost to boring white and gray renovations. This place has managed to maintain real character and charm for years. It is family owned, and you can tell that the staff genuinely love the place and enjoy what they are doing. It’s also pretty sweet that this place is only a few minutes walk to the beach. I also love the in-house bar and restaurant and the nice clean pool. You will not find a better place to stay, especially at such a great price, anywhere nearby.

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 The property and rooms are extremely outdated (I think everything was the same since we stayed here in 1982).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.

Super dated motel but super clean, comfortable and convenient to everything. There were loud groups at pool but owners spoke to them. Didn’t spend a lot of time here because family in area. Pool is well maintained. Bar $ restaurant on site. Lots of restaurants, food options walkable. Would definitely stay here again.

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...

Old hotel and mediocre facilities. Efficiency had a small refrigerator and microwave. Futon was outdated and extremely lumpy and uncomfortable. Bathrooms need to be upgraded from the 60's. Owner was condescending at check-in the clientele were more concerned with their happy hours than watching their kids in the pool who clearly couldn't swim.

VINTAGE MOTEL ... NO AMENITIES !!
After travelling 12 long hours to arrive prior to the 6:00pm check-in time, we were greeted by Joe and Margaret ... lovely couple who stated they have owned the establishment for 40 years !! Directed to our reserved "efficiency" suite #3, we were less than impressed by the accommodations, which have not been updated in a long, long time. Basic amenities you might expect for this type of unit (microwave, toaster. kettle, safe, etc.) were nowhere to be found !! (thank goodness we brought our own). Queen mattress in bedroom and pull-out futon provided for a less than comfortable sleep. Also, there was no restaurant open, no entertainment or music, no "Happy Hour" as advertised ... the one bright spot was the central pool, which closed at 8:00pm (so don't arrive late !!). We made the best of this situation by visiting family, the boardwalk, and a great Karaoke evening at "Hook's Bar & Grill" (1320 Boulevard). Our saving grace ... we were only there for 4 days !!

Great Mother/Daughter Trip
Had a great time. I was a little leery because it was older and I was afraid it was going to be dated. The lobby is definitely old fashioned. They even still use real keys and have cubby holes for all the keys. But when we walked into the room it was vey nice. The carpet looked new, new paint. The bathroom was very clean. A little small, but it did the job. I would definitely stay here again. I would have liked to have had wi-if in the room though. Also, it is super close to the beach. I would definitely recommend.

Stay Away!
The front desk was extremely rude in every aspect of communication. I called to verify information and asked questions. When mentioning I wasn’t aware of check in policy the man on the phone immediately stated to cancel my appointment and reach out Expedia. I called a different day to ask a different question man was still rude. When we went to check in the man yelled at me and my son and my nephew. I almost wanted to cancel everything however this was a getaway promised to my son and nephew who are going away to college in a few weeks so I didn’t want to disappoint them. I would NEVER go back and never recommend anyone to book here.
