First night the door to our room wouldn’t open tried both had to call Front desk lady came and all three keys showed an issue was issues a new room which we were grateful. That room the key chain lock didn’t lock due to previous people. Then being told Use these WiFi codes but none worked only our hot spots worked. Being told to park anywhere you see parking on the side and two days into our stay turns into a sign on vehicle and in our door to move it so The owner can make money off of people Coming down to the boardwalk for the day here’s the best part the toilet had no pressure when flushing. The only plus was it was two blocks from the boardwalk. The housekeeping ladies were extremely nice and family oriented.

Nice place. Clean. Beds comfortable. Staff very pleasant. But you have to pay extra for the WiFi & pool access plus the coffee and 1/4 muffins (which is not available until 9am). Plus is additional for parking too. Also, the WiFi was intermittent at best. I finally just gave up and used my data. And the A/C does not stay on. It goes off completely if you’re not in the room so you come back all sweaty from beach and the room is hot. It goes on and off at night. Some nights was just too warm and kept waiting for it to kick back on. All in all I still would consider coming back but would compare the nightly rates with other hotels with the extras added in.

It was quiet and other guests were friendly. The stair treads need to replaced before someone trips and falls. They add too many extra fees on to really inflate your bill. The designated smoking area was never really cleaned up. Ashtrays were not emptied unless by other smokers into a bigger ashtray. Coffee and light snacks need to be much earlier especially for earlier risers. Offers snack bar/cafe which is non-existent except for breakfast snacks.

Has a pool but was too skeeved out to go in. Walls are thin. Could hear people talking in room next door. Be ready to pay a premium during peak season. Chose this location because its 4 min walk to the boardwalk and beach.

The property itself is in something of a shambles. The locks on the doors don't work properly, I had to play with the key every time to open the door. It seemed like the lock might be rusted or just old. Also I made a noise complaint because the room next to mine sounded like it had a party with 20 people in it. Parking was also an issue as there were four guys who were probably all staying in the same room but only paying for one and only registering one car. I was afraid to move my car because I would not have been able to get another spot. Since this is in Point pleasant during season parking is hard to find and as a matter of fact on Saturday I had to park on the street because there was no parking available at the motel itself. Housekeeping staff did not remove all items from the refrigerator in the unit as I found a melted ice cream Ben & Jerry's or something. There was also burn marks on the counter as the unit had an electric stove and microwave. Bathroom and bed were both clean. I would not stay there again

Cute Old Place
This is a cute old place and the staff is very friendly. Our room was clean, beds comfy, the air conditioning worked great, and we had a nice view of the boardwalk lights at night which my son loved. The location is perfect for being able to walk to the beach and boardwalk. The property recently celebrated 60 years in business, so unfortunately, the place could use some work. Our bathroom sink was slow to drain, the door knob was about to come off. The safety latch to lock the door at night got stuck and was very difficult to remove. There were long dark hairs in some of the small “clean” towels, so I have to question the facilities washing practices. (We had brought our own towels anyway.) They definitely need to speak to the maid staff about the quality/diligence of the cleaning services. But the pool was clean, they offered coffee and some breakfast in the mornings, and overall, the place was fine. Just keep in mind that it’s a 60-year-old property and bring your own towels!! lol

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location is great, close to boardwalk BUT the hotel itself is very old, not “ retro” like the hotel owners had described in other reviews. The second floor has these carpets and other types of materials taped down to the floor, covering up old crumbing flooring beneath. There are many tripping hazards due to this. They need a new floor in the outdoor walkways leading to second floor rooms. No excuse, it’s just being covered up and looks dirty. The ceiling tile in the bathroom fell out when we closed the bathroom door. Rooms were tolerable but would never stay again for the price, absolutely insane what they charge here, for what it is. Also, resort fee to use the pool and you have to pay to park there and they do not give you beach tags.
