Let me start with saying the location is perfect right near the beach but I would never stay there again even if you paid me. The building seems like it has a lot of history but it reminded me of an old run down apartment building that included the sketchy people hanging on the porch. The bad had mattress covers that looked like eas covered in coffee and the bathroom had an odd smell about it. For the price please please save your money. How this is 6.8 reviews makes me never trust hotel.com again.

Basic old hotel that has not been upgraded in 50 years. Nice porch for sitting. Ten foot ceilings. View of ocean is nice and you will get a sunrise. Corner rooms give extra window. Free coffee. Fridge in room. Lighting ok. Window A/C. People smoke on porch. Bathroom is 50 years old. Shower is corner euro model shoulder wide. Nearly every time I used the key, I needed to go back to front desk to have it redone, electronics card key. 3 floors, no elevator, steep stairs.

When you are checking in at this hotel, you are greeted with a full page of terms to agree to. Hidden at the bottom of that list, you are told you will be charged for a room deposit, which I later called about and I was berated by desk person, "read before you sign." The initial person at the desk made no mention of this and just asked for my credit card, which I thought was odd because I already pre-paid for the room on Hotels.com. I just figured it was to verify something, but it is a room deposit to which I learned later it would be refunded 3-5 business days later. Apparently this hotel has had bad experiences with their guests and they are trying to protect themselves. Here's an idea, why don't you list your intention of charging for a deposit at the TOP of the page and highlight or have your check in person mention it! Most people have been traveling in the car for awhile, may be tired and would just like to check in without being greeted with a laundry list of terms. Another recommendation, change your tone with the way you speak with your customers. There are plenty of other hotels to stay at in Belmar. In terms of the room, it was clean and sufficient. If you are a light sensitive sleeper, I don't recommend this hotel as our room's curtains were very light and allowed light to seep in.

It was perfect rooms are small but clean and so close to the beach they had Dunken Doughnuts and bagels for breakfast. Just such a cool vibe too sitting on their porch with the sea breeze

Well the website was giving me trouble and I called to see if I could get the room for the same rate guy said yes got to the property and was charged. If it wasn’t late I’d of slept in my car but I like the place been staying off an on for almost 30days. But I feel that the price that I was told should have been what I paid.

the best part of this hotel was it was right by the beach and it wasn’t crazy expensive esp on the wkd down the shore .free basic breakfast was nice and there’s a porch to chill on

Needs some remodeling and it looks like they’re working on it.

Simple, clean and quiet. Worth the price. No issues. Very friendly staff.
