This was honestly the best motel I've ever stayed at in seaside! The manager was incredibly friendly, and its not like we were quiet at any point in time. The location was awesome because there's a convenience store, a restaurant, and a liquor store right within a block, and its only like two blocks from the beach. The rooms were clean as a whistle, and I never once had to worry about bedbugs or anything.. Also, you're allowed to have as many visitors as you want between 12pm to 12am, which always seems to be an issue at motels in seaside. I know where I'm going from now on!

I returned a lost dog to this location. During my quick pop in here, I can say hotel management is very kind & extremely helpful. The place is pretty well lit up at night. The pool area looked very clean & inviting, as well as the pool too. Although it was cold during my visit, all the amenities that were visible give off a fun and cozy atmosphere to stay with friends or family during a warm week of summer vacation. Obviously pet friendly. As for the rooms, I have only gotten a glimpse of a room that had there door partially open and everything appeared clean neat and up to date.

It was great from the start. We stayed there for prom weekend 2012, 2 nights with 8 people. We had to rent one room, then a second one two weeks later in anticipation of more people, despite this the guy was awesome about it and let us get two rooms right next to each other. He was very friendly, just show respect and you'll be good. We had to switch a person out in the middle of our stay and once we talked with him about it he let us do it with no problem. The pool is great, the manager is very chill about what you're allowed to do, being three blocks from the boardwalk was awesome as basically anywhere in Seaside Heights is within good walking distance. We were all happy with the service and if I were going to Seaside again I'd stay here again, cause unlike a lot of our friends who stayed at other nearby hotels and motels we didn't have any issues and everything was perfect.

Personally I love this place!!! Its away from all the nonsense. So at night pretty quiet except the few stragglers during summer months. But close enough that u can walk down to boardwalk. (Awesome burger/bar place two blocks straight down summer ave. Turns to club at night. Ages 21-50). The rooms are clean. Bathrooms clean! No black mold on tub like other places. I am very ocd about where I stay. Smells, blankets, bathroom n if I get itchy uckkk. But I loved this place n I may just make it the place I always stay. Owner was not there at time. His neighbor (think Brian, im very bad with names) was watching place. HE was awesome!!!! Always checking making sure all residents were good and enjoying stay!
