Basic motel. No dining facilities and very few dining options around the area. The public beach is right in front of the property. But in order to be in a safe zone to swim, you should go to the boardwalk area - 15 mins walk.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Our stay had its good and had its bad. While we loved the location, pool and how comfortable the beds were we were very disappointed in the over all condition of our room. The walls are filthy, the floors were no different. The furniture in our room (room 8) was VERY weathered. The tv didn’t work. The upkeep on this place isn’t great. When adjusting the temp on the a/c the vent was COVERED in mold. Other rooms did seem to be in better condition but room 8 is in dire need of TLC.

Easy walk to the boardwalk. Large pool and patio area. Room was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. Initially the A/C in the room didn't work. Staff immediately addressed and reassigned the room. Problem solved. Very kind, helpful and friendly front desk staff. A great place to stay in Point Pleasant!

Motel overall review

Overall the stay was fine for my wife and myself for one night. It’s actually a motel. The location is good and close to the beach at various access points. The room was comfortable, beds are good, A/C is good, there’s a TV, microwave and refrigerator. That’s good for a motel. The bathroom is expectedly small, being a motel, so that’s ok, but it could use a bit of upgrade and more lighting for sure. I think the whole motel including the outside appearance needs an uplift. The people/family running the hotel were very friendly and kind and welcoming.
