We had a very pleasant last minute stay here for 3 nights The place was clean and well maintained The room was small but comfortable and clean, everything was updated

AC worked great Loved the little bench outside the room to hang towels and put out beach stuff to dry Close to everything, 10 mins up from Beach Haven where we usually stay I will definitely stay here again

This is the second year in a row myself, my wife and my 5 year old son have stayed at the Seahorse Motel We stay for an entire week Both years the staff was amazing

The owner Elena and her crew were not only accommodating but beyond friendly, attentive and made us feel like family We also invited a few other family members to stay at the motel in another room for a few days and they had nothing but great things to say The apartment we stay in is clean, neat and attended to daily The pool is clean and refreshing We have nothing but great things to say about the Seahorse Motel and it’s amazing staff We plan on staying at this motel every single summer vacation, for every year to come

Stayed here as reviews said it was clean and affordable for the areaOne of the two beds was dirty as there was a lot of hair on the sheets and clearly weren’t changed I feel it was an oversight

Fridge is loud and there is road noise but place is small and cute and it appears floors 1 and 2 are getting refurbished (stayed floor3)This is good location to do things and staff is friendly with chairs for the beach I would come back again but make sure the room I got didn’t have a fridge that keeps a light sleeper up First night I just unplugged but after that we had food in itAnyways it’s worth a try!

It was difficult to find a room on the day because it was the holiday season, but fortunately, there was an empty room Of course, it was much more expensive than usual It is located about walking to the beach

It’s cleaner than I thought and the water pressure in the bathroom is strong The staff did not provide information on the Internet Wi-Fi The office was also closed at 8 pm There are plenty of towels and the air conditioner works well, so I’m satisfied with it

Darcy Baia

We arrived to our hotel and walked into an empty front desk a note was left that there is no one working the hotel and we would have to drive to another hotel to check in ( their sister hotel) 😳 disconcerting

I travel a lot for business I have never seen such a thing Nonetheless we go get a keyWe arrive back in the room finally and realize there is no internet No front desk for assistance so we call the other hotel… they give us a Code that does not work we call right back and no one answers we tried for an hour Completely ridiculous We are here on business and absolutely need internet We now have to leave the building to complete our meeting and finish our work for a time sensitive projectI am beyond upset Unacceptable At least answer your phone for your guests Shame on this business!

Sarah Manfredo

Would I have preferred a beach house? Of course; but my family of three comfortably fit in a room with two queen beds and, most importantly, we were able to get a booking only 2 weeks in advance I was expecting it to be kinda scary but honestly, it was absolutely fine for us Luckily we got a room at the end of the hall so I think that helped matters

I saw there was a pool that seemed crowded most days but that’s not my scene We really just used the room as a place to sleep Probably wanna bring your own pillow if you can Staff was friendly When we were checking in, there was a drunken, out-of-state guest causing a disturbance and being really rude to the women behind the desk We only caught the tail end of the exchange, but I remember thinking I admired the staff for keeping their cool during the chaos and still treating us kindly despite just being berated Would recommend if you’re just looking for a place to crash and clean up

Me and my boyfriend spent Valentines Day here, and the hotel service and property exceeded our expectations The hotel is spotless, and the staff were amazing Has a indoor self parking garage, that was heated and you can enter the hotel easily and take the elevator to check in

I unfortunately booked a room without a balcony and didn’t realize, they upgraded me free of charge The Living Room restaurant is perfect for quick bite to eat and the drinks are Amazing The room is beautiful, perfectly decorated and clean The linens were so soft and I love the space, easily can entertain a family without feeling overcrowded Perfect place to get away for a weekend I will surely be back, and would recommend anyone to go here We didn’t get a chance to use the pool or jacuzzi we came a little too late, but definitely will when we return

Kay Bee

This place is great Complimentary valet, someone is always there if you need something, the food is great The room was huge, and really nicely maintained

You also couldn’t hear any other guests in their room (top or neighboring) and the hotel was sold out My family of 4 enjoyed the accommodations and everything it had to offer My only complaint is that we had a very intimate view of the AC unit for the hotel We couldn’t see anything other than that and for $400 a night, that’s not what I want to be looking at Would absolutely stay again, but would request a room with an unobstructed view

Gilbert NGUYEN

We stayed 1 week from Thursday to Wednesday over Easter We booked a 2 bedrooms with king beds, for 2 adults and 2 kidsPrice is ok as I guess everything is a bit more expensive around Easter Sunday

The room price increased from 299 to 459 just for the Friday and Saturday, it seems a bit excessiveRoom was large, cleanness could be better but I will come back on that topicOur room was not ready at 4pm We had to wait until 5:20pm Do not get all your stuff from your car until they confirm room is readyWe ate at the restaurant on our first night The food was really good and we wanted to come back on our last night but they are closed Monday and Tuesday unfortunatelyWe cooked dinner the other nights and there is minimum equipment but it was sufficient Only expect to cook simple dinner and to use the dishwasher every night as there would not be enough dishes for the next morningHotel had multiple wedding in a row so it was packed of guest coming for 1 night max and it creates massive amount of work for the cleaning staff and now I understand better why our room was not ready on timeI saw cleaning staff exhausted by the afternoon and noticed rooms left in terrible state by guestI really believe staff do their best under the circumstancesOur room was at the very end of the 3rd floor (top floor) which is a perk as it is much more quiet Otherwise expect to hear your neighbor and all the kids running in the hallwayI will conclude my review with the pool The size is not adapted to the hotel capacity It could be easily double the size For me it was a huge disappointment and seriously dangerous There is no supervision so you see kids and teenagers diving from everywhere and in the middle of people Expect to be kicked under the water, and to be splashed We ended up going only when not crowded which was super rare

My husband and I just stayed a week at the hotel with our 2 young kids The hotel is clean and the staff are friendly There is a hotel and an Inn section

We stayed at the Inn which is the furthest from the music and we didn’t hear a thing The restaurant is delicious The location is perfect to walk to the beach, restaurants, ice cream and mini golf There is no coffee maker in the room, there is one by the front desk and coffee shops in walking distance We were a little surprised that parking was limited Overall, this is a perfect getaway for a couple or small family!

Dennis Doll

First-time customer for dinner July 8th Great atmosphere Many empty tables yet it was 15 minutes before the server visited our table

My wife had the crab cake sandwich which was very good I had the Jumbo Shrimp and Crab over Linguini inparmesan cream sauce There were only 4 shrimp They were not jumbo and were barely large Could only find small bits of crab in the sauce It was good but nothing came with the entree and at $34 it just didn’t seem like good value I’m willing to come back and try again

Michelle U

So let me start by saying that this review is solely for the hotel and the house keeping manager Tina Me and my husband booked 6/24-6/28 but we actually left a day early because of how dirty the room was On Saturday we realized the house keeping skipped our room when we saw them and asked, they said they don’t clean rooms and handed me towels and toilet paper, so I thought they don’t go in rooms until I read the paper handed to us when we checked in that they are supposed to clean rooms daily

So, I went down Sunday morning and spoke to a very nice gentleman who said he will make sure they clean my room Sunday, and they were supposed to clean it Saturday, but they lied and said no when I spoke to them And it wasn’t because some of them didn’t speak English because I spoke to them in Spanish to make sure they understood what I was asking I guess they were being lazy But when they cleaned on Sunday, I realized it was really no difference accept, they fixed the bed and took the garbage out, but the floors were still dirty as well as everything else So, while we are checking out a day early early today with Tina, she said I should have called again about filth of room and Shes charging me the unused night, which I never said to her I wouldn’t pay the extra night I knew I would be charged the extra $550 but I rather lose $550 then stay in a filthy room again But Tina was so obnoxious!!! So, then I ask to speak to manager, and she said she is the manager of housekeeping and honestly, I was blown away because of how extremely rude and unprofessional Tina is If she talks to her housekeeping staff the way she talks to people staying at hotel I can see why they do such a poor job cleaning So, for $550 a night you would expect at least a courteous management staff and hygienic place to sleep but you get neither of those things here The tiki bar and bartenders are wonderful I just advise you stay in a different hotel and then go and check out the bar

Kaitlyn Johnson

The resort was great, right on the beach Food was amazing The bed was why I give 4 stars

It was the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept on I woke up hardly able to walk because my hips and back were in so much pain Didn’t sleep well at all because of it But would definitely go back for the restaurant that’s there, just wouldn’t book a room again

Sonia Hernandez

Great family atmosphere! The rooms where simple and clean There were plenty of pillows for our 2 queen beds The bed was comfortable and the room temp was easy to regulate with a ceiling fan and AC

The room is equipped with all basic toiletries, 4 towel sets, a hair dryer, mini fridge, microwave, in-room safe, and iron Plenty of charging ports and good lighting No yucky rugs, wood floors We stayed in a deluxe room on the second floor facing the south parking lot It was nice and quiet The food was very good but it was bit pricey You could eat pool side! They provide towels and a beach badge so you can come early enjoy the resort and beach and they call you when your room is ready We arrived at about 11 and our room was ready by 2pm When we checked out they still allow you full use of the grounds and towels The pool has a 1ft to 9ft depth (note- we didn’t mind but there is no lifeguard on duty) The beach itself was easy to access with a matted path No seaweed, crystal clear and a cool, 73 degrees F when we were there in early July Bring your own beach chair and umbrella to spend the day We picked a spot and left our stuff and went back and forth all day: pool to beach to room They have a security staff that is discreet but they are there to make sure everyone can safely have a good time We didn’t stay for the night entertainment There are two large fire pits that seat about 12 people around More of an adult environment though We were able to nab up a one night stay last minute but we would definitely return for at least 2-3 nights to maximize the fun and what the town has to offer We took in a show at the Surflight theatre located just one block away There is also a museum just one block away too! I recommend this resort for a short family stay 🙂

Stayed for 2 nights with my family during the American angler tournament We arrived late at night and we had a very nice welcoming from the owner Although the office closed at 6 pm he came back from his house Asked for a late checkout and it was granted with free of charge

The rooms are spacious and clean Room #16Thank you very much for sure will come back

Zach R

When you think of beach motels you think of shabby rooms with tile floors and no amenities but Haven Beach is different The rooms are nice and clean, they’re carpeted and come with AC units that actually work and they’re well stocked with all the things you’d expect The prices are very fair and the employees are all very kind and helpful

Georgeann Wenner

Location is good and view of bay is good Rooms need remodeling Carpets are very musty

Had to leave windows open to get fresh air Bathrooms are very small and old Shower head is like a sprinkling can over your head Room 2 had many small ants in the bathroom and along back wall Owners did very little to help us 2 towels were given to us for 4 people Had to ask for more towels Double beds would be better if they were gueen and newer mattresses Bedding is old also Price is cheap but I would not stay here again

Iris Doveran

I was visiting a friend there I was actually surprised at how much nicer the rooms were from when it was The Sea Pine Much cleaner and more modern

The rooms are a lot better than some of the hotels I’ve been to in Florida that are in the heart of everything and suppose to be nice I would recommend staying here in the summer when the pool is open

Liliana R.

Don’t let the pictures deceive you The room I had was very small and dark The curtains are old and they don’t close completely allowing sun light in early in the morning

The bathroom door was not hung properly as it was very hard to close The shower area, the tub was rusty and old The pictures of the pool are true and the grounds are well kept Review your options carefully as there should be better places for the same expensive price We won’t be back for sure

Best place to stay If your visiting LBI! Free showers in back to wash sand off after beach! Hotel rooms, service,& pricing are great! Al & Christine & family are great hosts as well as very knowledgeable! Awesome location at quiet end of island! Great places to eat & shop at nearby! Beach tags can be purchased here & the beach itself is close by!

Tim Bartlett

We came down to the North Shore in in May while our floors were being redone We had heard good things from friends who stayed there last year, and we were not disappointed We had two of the standard first floor rooms and they were spacious, impeccably clean, and pleasant

We had to do some work during the day, and we found the table provided in the room a good place to work The owner (Chris?), welcomed us and was flexible when we weren’t sure how long we were going to stay I also love this part of the Island, which is a bit quieter and less overrun than the other parts It’s amazing to be so close to the beach This place is *very* good value for money

Katie

We love staying here 🙂 We try to visit every summer!! 🌞 The North Shore Inn is so convenient to the ocean, the lighthouse, and restaurants on the north side of Long Beach Island The owners are exceptional and always so nice and happy to help !! We reserved one of the suites on the top floor and it had the perfect kitchenette for our shore stay We had a microwave, mini fridge, mini stove, and sink

The suite also came with pots, pans, dishes, and utensils 🍽 The accommodations were very clean and tidy and there is an outdoor shower area to wash off before you enter your room

We think this property is just beautiful We stayed there years ago & thought it was nice Now we see even more improvements and the cleanliness & organization are managed so well

We believe the young lady at the front desk who helped us & was lovely was Abby We will be very embarrassed if that is her name considering how nicely she treated us!! It may be her job doesn’t mean it will happen! We also enjoyed our lunch at Mainland & met Alexa & Christine Also so nice & food was yum!!

Geometry Craft

This hotel is really nice to stay at, the restaurant has good food and is pretty clean, the pool and hot tub are also a nice addition to the main hotel building When you go outside, besides the outdoor part of the restaurant, there is so much more you can do that is right on the hotel grounds There’s a small but nice putting holes outside of the pool, but the main area outside comes with go carts, a large adventure course, and small, but nice arcade

The adventure course was really fun, the employees are always nice and friendly The go carts are also a fun time, and are kept up nicely The arcade also has a few fun things inside This hotel also has a nice location, being right near the ocean, along with easy access to shops and other places Overall, would recommend this hotel for anyone that has the money to go!

The family is an excellent host We had great friendly interactionswith everybody there Breakfast was good on both days with plenty of options to eat, drink, and plenty of space inside and out to sit

I over ate the first day! Great to see a water cooler and ice machine on the firstfloor that we used Our Madison room was the right size for us, King Bed, dual shower to fit 2 people at once I would suggest bringing an eye mask if you are a light sleeper as you are 15 blocks from the beach so the sun comes up early We are used to black out curtains so woke up at 730 thinking it was 1030, but not a deal breakerBathrooms were stocked with good TP, soap, shampoo/conditioner The price we paid was great for what we received and the location is superb! We didn’t utilize the bikes but plenty available for free Quiet hours were respected, I never heard anybody else even though it was a full house We would certainly return here over a hotel

Alana LEVINE

Some lodging places on the island are excellent quality but ridiculously expensive, while others are affordable and lower quality Island Guest House is the absolute best of both Joanne manages such an incredible B&B and the accommodations are fantastic

The shared bathrooms were my biggest concern, but they are kept so clean and well-stocked, that it was not an issueThank you for such a lovely stay- certainly looking to come back once more this summer with my mom so we can take advantage of the board games and ping pong!

Samantha Overstreet

Mark and Joanne were extremely friendly and accommodating from booking the room to departureThe location couldn’t be better You are two blocks from the beach and two blocks from the restaurants and dog beach

We were traveling over Memorial Day Weekend and they had a great rate and were dog friendly Our room was dog ready for us with a tray, food/water bowls, a treat, and dog blanket for the bed They even had a pet sitter available for a dinner out or beach timeThere are two types of rooms at the bed and breakfast – with a bathroom or without a bathroom (just a bedroom with a sink) We stayed in just the bedroom and sink and used the shared bathroom This made me nervous at first but I never had to wait for other guests and it was cleaned multiple times so you were always going into a fresh bathroom It is also a beautiful bathroom that has everything you may need including: Shampoo/body wash/conditioner, toothpaste, q-tips, etc The room came with the essentials, TV, work station, and wifiThe yard at the house was perfect for us! There were many tables to sit at and eat (or drink), corn hole, misting station, dog bowls, dog shower and human shower (outdoor showers with shampoo/body wash/conditioner AND DOG SHAMPOO!), ping pong, bikes, chairs for the beach, etcBottom line, Joanne and Mark have made this bed and breakfast into a sanctuary to travel too I have been referring friends and cannot wait to come back

I came across Luna Mar completely at random and had never been to Seaside Park previously What struck me when booking was review after review mentioning how long they’ve returned to Luna Mar (sometimes multi- generations!) Prior to arriving, I corresponded with Tom and he was great answering all of my questions and accomodating my later check in

Once my family of 5 arrived, everything was perfection They truly make you feel like family Tom and his wife are fantastic, rooms cleaned daily, fresh bagels and (good!) Coffee every morning Steps from beach and comfortable walk to boardwalk and amusements Count us in as another family that will return year after year! Sarah & Luca Family

Staff so so pleasant and friendly and super nice Room was cozy I am a clean freak and as soon as I entered the room I had a good feeling

It smelled clean and it was clean I was so happy to see the shower curtain being so clean I’m not a pool person, but pool was big and pool area seemed comfortable I really have no complaints I would definitely go backThank you Tom for the extra!!!!

Our family has been staying at the LunaMar in Seaside Park for 15 plus years This year definitely did not disappoint The owner, Tom, and his staff are absolutely the nicest people

The family atmosphere makes it a pleasure to be there The rooms are clean and very comfortable The heated pool is a plus for the kids Close to the start of the boardwalk and directly across from the beach A perfect place for a family vacationEileen and Bob H

Was here visiting family in the area

first impressionnot good!!! Followed GPS and it led to resturant!! Called receptionist and she gave me directions to unmarked bilding!! Took 20 minutes to find!!REDICULOUS!!! rooms where comfortable at least but smelled funny Theres no microwave or fridge in master suite!! Staff gets rude when u ask to heat up food in their microwave, or refrigerate leftovers!!! No crowd control on nights I was there,screaming in teh hallways!!! Marijuana smokers allowed to smoke with no regard for general safety!! No cops were called!!!Would rather spend the extra several hundred dollars to stay at the holiday inn than ever step foot here again!!! But I do love that restarant!!!

Went to sea oaks for dinner Go there quite often as I live locally Huge disappointment in the dinner this evening

I ordered a rib eye steak( on their evening special menu) I got a strip or sirloin steak It was NOT a ribeyeIt irritates me to no end that they insisted it was a ribeye Anyone that is a chef or anyone knowledgeable about steak knows the difference between a ribeye and a sirloin Stop ripping off the public that may not know the difference The “ribeye” Which was really a sirloin steak was tough No amount of blue cheese will disguise the fact that it was NOT a ribeye Worst meal ever!! Brought it home for my dog He doesn’t know the difference between a sirloin and a rib eye but I DO!!!!!!

(Indoor restaurant)Food 68/10 prime rib special was great, shrimp tempura was fun Crab cakes were packed with crab but could use some better breading

Drinks 5/10 had one send back Not sure they are using fresh citrusAmbiance 6/10 we were placed in the back room due to a late reservation Felt far away From everyonePrice 5/10 reasonableStaff 8/10 apologetic, sweetI’d go back to drink at the pool bar and listen to live bands on the weekends in the summer!

Took a quick day trip to the Jersey Shore and decided to stop at the Engleside Inn for dinner The food was great but what stood out to me the most was the amazing customer service, particularly from one of the hostesses, Julia Julia was incredibly friendly and did a phenomenal job of working with my party and I to get the table we wanted and to ensure that we had an overall great experience

I would definitely recommend stopping here for a bite to eat and wanted to extend my thanks to this extraordinary young lady and the rest of the hardworking staff at the Engleside inn!

Christopher Hiester

Service was extremely slow and inattentive We waited 40 minutes just for appetizers to arrive There were bus trays *on the floor* in the corner of the dining room in full view of my seat

It was unappetizing to see (and probably a health violation) servers crouching down to put dirty dishes into bus trays on the ground, right in front of me during dinner The dining room is dimly lit and looks like it hasn’t been updated since the Reagan administration Although there are spectacular ocean and bay views just outside, you wouldn’t know it when you’re inside the cave-like dining room with few windows This place is screaming for a Robert Irvine makeover I won’t be back Ever

Fantastic location; suited our family perfectly Right on the beach, plus a pool so you can have your choice of water recreation Simple rooms were cool and clean with plenty of hot water

Owners were great, cleaning staff thorough and pleasant We parked for the week and used bikes to move around the island Grocery store a couple blocks away for basic snacks Highly recommend for active vacationers that just need a comfortable, clean place to crash Quiet area Great find

Glen Ahern

If there was a zero star option, I would choose that one The staff was disrespectful and downright rude to their guests We were threatened to be kicked out after jumping in the pool twice

As we came back from the beach one time to wash the sand off of our feet with the motel hose, a staff member rips the hose out of my teenage sisters hands and accuses us all of not having rooms Overall, a horrible stay with some horrible hosts

Cosima Alampi

Absolutely would not recommend Room is beyond tiny Can’t even move in it

Air does not work , constantly shuts off and rooms are so hot, no over head fan or any other options It’s just small screen unit , that is attached to the outside wall with all windows and doors so it doesn’t cool down the room even a little and shuts down every 10 Mins for 5plus mins at a timeBed had stains all over quilt, i have photos, there are several not just one and very visible , which means the staff saw them and didn’t care No elevators, no help w/luggage2nd floor “ocean view room” is not an ocean view it’s a sand dune viewThere is no way this place has the rating it shows on here because I can assure you what is described in the reviews posted is absolutely not what you get

Stayed there for a spontaneous weekend and was happy with everything! To start the staff was so courteous and friendly, the rooms were clean and very well stocked with towels and everything you need The pool was very nice and convenient Breakfast was excellent and location was perfect

Very nice atmosphere all around lively but peaceful

Heather R

The hotel was nice It is so close to the beach You have to walk a bit if you don’t eat onsite

There is a 24 hour convenience store with some snacks, drinks and coffeeThe beds are very hard and I woke up sore everyday It is just slightly better than sleeping on the floor At this price point, I expected better beds Also the heated pool was like bath water I like warm water but this was way too warm

Brian Peykar

Disgusting hotel, do not stay here! I stayed at the hotel on 6/26-6/27 I was supposed to checkout on 6/28 but we had to check out early due to the unsanitary condition in our unit For starters, the unit had a moldy/mildew smell

We had a problem with our air conditioning emitting an extremely high screeching noise every few minutes I contacted the front desk at 7 pm to notify them that the air conditioning unit was not functioning properly and making a very loud screeching noise I was told that a maintenance worker would be at my unit in 30 minutes 2 1/2 hours later a maintenance worker showed up In the interim, I had also notified the front desk to let them know we had a significant ant infestation in the bathroom The maintenance worker showed up at a time when my family was sleeping and could not do the repairs needed He also intended on spraying the toxic chemical ROUND UP in the bathroom to treat the ants Round Up cannot be used indoors and is meant for treating weeds, it also happens to be toxic I shudder at the thought that he may have sprayed it earlier if we were not in the unit I was very upset that he thought that was a solution to the problem Due to the issues with the AC unit, we were forced to sleep through the night without air conditioning which is obviously extremely uncomfortable To make matters worse, my 3 and 5 year old complained that there were itchy in the middle of the night and we turned on the light to now see that there were ants in the bed and on their body I would not expect for these instances to happen in a lower cost hotel let alone a hotel that costs over $300 a night I complained to the front desk person and was assured a manager would contact me which never happened

The restaurant was very nice The waitress was kind, patient and quick The drinks were very good

The food wasn’t too good The mussels weren’t good at all The tacos were okay Put it like this, best food was the friesI would definitely go back for the drinks and live music, but not for the food The live music was fantastic

Lori Zugelder

We went to Daddy O’s last night for dinner & as usual it was a great experience We were greeted by very friendly hostesses and seated right away They have plenty of people working and do a great job of taking care of you

We had to send my daughter’s steak salad back because it was a little too rare for her They were so accommodating and nice about it! They brought her out a new salad even larger than the first one & cooked exactly the way she liked it Can’t say enough about the staff at this restaurant Everyone was happy and helpful and the food is delicious!

Mary Frey

My husband and I came here on a Saturday night to celebrate his birthday We were greeted by a super sweet hostess and seated immediately Our server, Alex, was attentive without being overbearing

He checked on us the perfect amount of times! My husband ordered the burger and a funnel cake flavored beer, both of which he said were excellent I got the fried chicken sandwich and it was so perfect! So juicy and perfectly crunchy We both loved the seasoned fries as well We also got to briefly meet the manager on duty who was very nice We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in LBI!

This place was absolutely horrible…we had a queen size bed for 4 nights The room itself was very dirty, the toilet didn’t flush, the smell of mold that came out of the A/C was awful, I had to wear a mask…then to top it off the smell of the restaurant and all the garbage that was out for the animals to pick at…absolutely horrible place…save your money…needless to say we left the very next morning, completely ruined our vacation

Colleen Ciecura

A very well run Motor Lodge Cleanliness is priority here! The staff is extremely friendly and they give a feeling of home yet being on vacation!Everything is well sanitized, The rooms are very nice with something for every budgetYou are steps away from the beach and within 10 minute walk or less to some great restaurants

Very relaxing to sit on the balcony and just well relaxNeed to get away for a few days you won’t be disappointed!

Thaddeus Lazor

Room was clean, nice sitting area in front of room, have been coming here for years annually Mattresses were hard, needs some updating Pool was not sufficiently cleaned although we had a little rain in the morning

No more tables with umbrellas, no sitting chairs We were at pool at 12:30 PM A lot of sand on the bottom of the pool and bugs on top and along the pool wall Asked the woman at the desk if someone could clean it and she said it was cleaned at 9:00AM and that’s it I said as a guest it’s dirty, very rudely she responded it was cleaned Not the service and clean pool I remembered I don’t think we’ll be back, very disappointed on this trip
