Surfside Motel - Seaside Heights

Adequate for a night’s rest. Older hotel but that was to be expected. Some of the amenities were upgraded.

My stay was wonderful and was there in the past. I would stay there again. Management and workers were helpful and friendly. Place was nice with the room and pool

Stayed 2 nights with my 3 small children and myself…Friday to Sunday. We reserved an apartment type room with 2 double beds in bedroom (no tv) and sofa/bed in the living area..along with a small stove/sink and small refrigerator. A small table and 2 chairs as well. The first room that was given to us had a door that looked like it was kicked in. And was filthy, looked like the previous people made the beds themselves. The odor of the room was so over powering. Smelled like mildew and mold. I requested a new room since the door didnt seem safe and secure. They then moved us to the next room. Smelled horrible as well, I felt like No matter where we went it will stink. This time there was burn marks on the wall from the stove, the front 2 burners didn’t work, the tv didn’t work and had to wait an hr for someone to come in and “fix it” the WiFi didn’t work unless you was outside. Luckily I took cleaning supplies with me because the smell was beyond horrible. The shower was gross and I wouldn’t allow my kids to walk in the room without sandals on. The refrigerator had a spill in there that no one cleaned up. The air conditioner didn’t look it’s been clean since last year. The filter was covered completely. The pool was also dirty. Had so much debris in it and looked like no one has cleaned it all summer. It wasn’t even unlocked when we got there at 3:00. Was told it was locked because no one was using it. Over all this place was a sh*thole and don’t suggest anyone staying.

I thought according to the pics that the motel was right on the beach. It was across the street so be careful with kids. Could use a coat of paint in places. Nothing to rave about but it was just a place to hang your hat if you know what I mean.

Refuse to go anywhere else in Seaside! Love where it is and how close to the boardwalk. It is outdated but always clean! We have never had a issue with anything not working or dirty. Staff is amazing and friendly! Parking is so easy! Definitely would say it us the best motel in Seaside! Cant wait to go back next year!

The hotel is poorly maintained. The lock on the door to the room hardly works. Deadbolt is dead. A rat sized opening is under the door. Room smells of mildew. One bed sinks on the side you sit on several feet. TV has only one channel. Sink is very lose. Shower is hard to adjust due to rust.

The bathroom had a giant mold thing growing which made the entire room have an unbearable smell. They did allow me to changes dates. It was very clean but the sheets were ripped and the bends were very old with very small pillow and no blanket.

Location is the only highlight of this motel. I picked it for the pool/location and ratings which were not accurate. The pool is filthy. The beds have got to be 40 yrs old and stained and springy. The bathroom is meh- had to request a replacement toilet seat because the one we had was torn and made of fabric, gross. They replaced it promptly. The whole “apt” smelled like mildew- all of us had problems with it. The kitchenette is literally that. Bare bones. No housekeeping is done while there. You have to take out your trash and request sheets, towels etc. the fridge was on par. Sirens and yelling go on throughout the night. We got zero sleep the first night because of the amount of noise. Everywhere I went I smelled pot. The balcony, the pool area, my car. It became a great joke. If none of that bothers you, have it. I am currently hoping we don’t get bedbugs from this place. We were parked in the whole 3 days we were there. I didn’t want to risk squeezing my new car in back lot with is meant for compact vehicles. Staff was great, very cordial and attentive. Will never be returning.

Only problem I had was kids stomping upstairs early morning and running outside the balcony and knocking on my door.
