Terrible place. They service was terrible, the room was a coffin, and the place was dirty

The room was so tiny that you couldn't even open the door the whole way until it hit the bed. The A/C unit was in the bathroom, so if you wanted to keep your room cool, you needed to keep the bathroom door open. But when the bathroom door was open it blocked the TV. So you couldn't even sit in bed and watch TV without being hot! There were literally only 15 inches to squeeze thru between the sink and the wall to get into the shower! The floors were so uneven, that there was a 3-4 inch gap at the door just to make the door swing open. The only place to put luggage was at the foot of the bed, but when you put even a small duffle bag there on the floor, then there wasn't room to walk between the luggage and the bed. Room had a microwave sitting on top of the refrigerator but the cord wasn't long enough to reach any outlets, so you had to move the microwave and set it on the floor to be able to use it. The refigerator and microwave were under the small garment rack so then you couldn't even hang anything on the rack (but there weren't any hangers to use!) 3 Flights of stairs going up to our room were very steep.... but the railings were so dirty and sticky that I didn't want to touch them. No one at the desk when we arrived at 7:30 PM - just a handwritten note with our key (that anyone could have picked up and used before we arrived!)

Room key opened up multiple rooms, impossible to feel safe about sleeping or leaving luggage

It was a nice clean place for the money

This place was a rip off. No phone in the room, no tissues, just a single already opened roll of toilet paper. The room smelled way better than it looked. The pictures are worth 1000 words. This place it 75.00/night at best.

This place is a ripoff and even more of a ripoff booking though Expedia because of all the extra fees they charge. The bathroom was moldy and disgusting. There were no staff available to help us when our room got locked by the code lock even though we were given a regular key. There are no elevators in the building so it’s super inconvenient. The common areas are gross. The beds are horrific. The room furniture is cheap and falling apart. Not worth the money. Spend more and enjoy your stay elsewhere.

It was not a very high class hotel but it was a perfect location hotel. Everything was close to it. And the rooms were clean and the staff was helpful. I will definitely go again.

I wasn't expecting 5-star luxury, but I was expecting at least a little effort. Why management decided not to invest in anything resembling a quality mattress is beyond me. A decent foam mattress would make all the difference in the world. Instead, I'm left with a cheap flea bag motel type of impression and the need to visit my Chiro. BTW...it wasn't a cheap room; they are making money here.

Place is a but run down but the location is great for the price. Staff was friendly & remeber its a dry city so bring your own beer.

Bare bones rooms in an older wooden structure. Bathrooms appear old, rest of room recently renovated.

Friendly staff. Clean prosperity. Easy parking. Close to all attractions.

This hotel was very dirty, with holes in screens which allowed insects access. The plumbing in the shower area was exposed so you could see the red and blue vinyl piping. The towels were stained and dirty, coverlet on beds was filthy. I would never stay here again

Not worth the expense.

Basic older motel, room smaller than pictured, bed not comfortable, a bit rundown.

I’m not sure if the following is true for every room but ours was a nightmare. Water damage in the bathroom, broken blinds, moldy faucet. We actually wore shoes everywhere- even in the shower because is just felt unclean. Extremely uncomfortable bed - the list could go on and on. The only Pro was the location. I only stayed one night.

Front desk nice personal

The hotel was okay. When I arrived I was worried because reviews were not good. The main entrance stairway was very sandy and had not been vacuumed for a while. There was a used medical glove on the stairs. This disappeared by the time I got my car parked and came back up the stairs. My main complaint was that they asked me for my drivers license and credit card, which is normal but then they made copies of them and kept them in a shoe box size file box out on the desk behind the counter. The counter was open to the public...in other words you could walk behind it ...no locked gate. When I was checking out I asked for the copies of my credit card to be destroyed or at least given back to me. They refused because it had to be kept with my paper file. I think this is dangerous because it was not secured and I had paid up front with my reservation. I would never go back because of the check-in and checkout procedure. I will always be worried someone with get my credit card and have a copy of my license.

The room was dirty. Used towels and old socks were left in the room. The flush mechanism on the toilet was broken. I stayed here last summer and was satisfied but it seems to have gone down hill since then. The porch needed sweeping, there was no complimentary coffee offered in the morning as there had been previously.

Sad to say this was not a pleasant experience. The building is falling apart and clearly is breaking some sort of building code. I stayed on the third floor in a room that the floors were literally slanted because it appears the building is beginning to fall. The toilet didn’t fully flush, and the shower floor was broken. There was black mold on the ceiling , the tv barely worked. The mini fridge was not plugged into the wall but the electrical strip that looked older than myself, and had a strange odor. The ac unit in the window worked well enough but was plugged into a broken outlet that touched the bed and was definitely a fire hazard. My partner and I went out to buy cheap sheets and a blanket because the bed looked gross and stained. I barely slept through the night because I was so nervous I was going through the floor. And there was no staff there at night to even complain to. We only had to be here for a single night and even that was too much. The walk to the pier was the only positive note about this place because it was so close.

Gave us early check in & were super sweet and very friendly

Very worn down. But clean

This was our second stay. The room we stayed in (23) was horrible. Upon entering each day, we were greeted with a distinct mildew smell. It was gross and unmistakable. The bed linens were not clean and the tv was incredibly difficult to operate. For what OC properties are charging, this property is in desperate need of updating. Under no circumstances should a room smell like mildew and I should not see brown ceiling tiles.

They should have been more specific about needing to request the beach tags.

The rooms are a bit old but everything else was fine.

Older property if you appre iate that. Smallest shower ever, old mattresses and pillows. Quiet, no light blocking blinds , so you'll be up early. Should have coffee in the lobby.

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Location was perfect shot to Beach and Boards. Pool was warm. Shower was unfortunately boiling hot or ice cold. Cable went out on one of the tvs. Beds were comfy. Would try again

We have stayed here every year for the past 4 years. The staff was very kind and courteous. But the facility is not very well maintained. Never any paper towels in restrooms. We have always stayed here becuase of the staff and the perks. But now all the benefits of staying here has changed. You now only get 2 beach passes to borrow per room,and they must be returned the daybyou check put so yoi cant borrow them for the last day. And parking pass is only good.whule checked in it is no longer good once you check out. Unfortunately these are very big factors so next year we will be looking for a new place to stay

Blue Water Inn is dated and needs improvements, but its best aspect is that it is close to the Boardwalk where there is shopping and eateries. It is an older building. The lobby was nice and the desk help and cleaning lady were nice and helpful. Beds were a little hard. The price was a plus compared to other properties. We could see using it again- especially if the owner did some needed improvements to the rooms and hallways. Room closing hooks added would be a plus addition. It was clean and doable since most of the time you are out and about.

Amazing

As a college student I love this place. They aren’t strict and allow you to have fun unless you start destroying the place. The room we got was great and got the job done. It’s all perfect location and is really close to the boardwalk. Had a fantastic stay other than the fact we accidentally lost 3 of our beach tags and had to pay a $120 fee.

Room had a noticable odor when you walked in. Bathroom was dirty, shower was never cleaned, noted mold. Very outdated, needs a ton of repairs. When I went to check in no one was there. I had to call a number listed on the desk to get ahold of someone, the girl who answered was very unprofessional. I ended up handing my keys and beach tags right back in and booked at another hotel. Total waste on my time and money!

When we arrived, we were told there was a $20 “resort fee” that Expedia did not charge us. The lady at the front desk only wanted that $20 in cash, would not take a card. Then placed the cash in an envelope with my name on it. It was extremely odd. There were a few hairs in the bathroom and on the bedding. The beds were not comfortable when we sat on them. When my son and I sat on one end, the other end of the mattress popped up like a seesaw. The mattresses were not typical and were lightweight somehow?!? So weird! Did not investigate further once we stopped to read reviews and bedbugs were mentioned. Immediately checked out. Pictures on Expedia are not an accurate representation of the room we had at all. The entire experience was disappointing.
