Old hotel and mediocre facilities. Efficiency had a small refrigerator and microwave. Futon was outdated and extremely lumpy and uncomfortable. Bathrooms need to be upgraded from the 60's. Owner was condescending at check-in the clientele were more concerned with their happy hours than watching their kids in the pool who clearly couldn't swim.

Close to IBSP

After travelling 12 long hours to arrive prior to the 6:00pm check-in time, we were greeted by Joe and Margaret ... lovely couple who stated they have owned the establishment for 40 years !! Directed to our reserved "efficiency" suite #3, we were less than impressed by the accommodations, which have not been updated in a long, long time. Basic amenities you might expect for this type of unit (microwave, toaster. kettle, safe, etc.) were nowhere to be found !! (thank goodness we brought our own). Queen mattress in bedroom and pull-out futon provided for a less than comfortable sleep. Also, there was no restaurant open, no entertainment or music, no "Happy Hour" as advertised ... the one bright spot was the central pool, which closed at 8:00pm (so don't arrive late !!). We made the best of this situation by visiting family, the boardwalk, and a great Karaoke evening at "Hook's Bar & Grill" (1320 Boulevard). Our saving grace ... we were only there for 4 days !!

Quiet and friendly

Had a great time. I was a little leery because it was older and I was afraid it was going to be dated. The lobby is definitely old fashioned. They even still use real keys and have cubby holes for all the keys. But when we walked into the room it was vey nice. The carpet looked new, new paint. The bathroom was very clean. A little small, but it did the job. I would definitely stay here again. I would have liked to have had wi-if in the room though. Also, it is super close to the beach. I would definitely recommend.

Nice service. Beautiful area around. Older hotel but clean

Close to the boardwalk. Just one mile walk. Personnel is kind. The pool was spotless. The motel is a little older but clean

The front desk was extremely rude in every aspect of communication. I called to verify information and asked questions. When mentioning I wasn’t aware of check in policy the man on the phone immediately stated to cancel my appointment and reach out Expedia. I called a different day to ask a different question man was still rude. When we went to check in the man yelled at me and my son and my nephew. I almost wanted to cancel everything however this was a getaway promised to my son and nephew who are going away to college in a few weeks so I didn’t want to disappoint them. I would NEVER go back and never recommend anyone to book here.

N/A

A very warm family business, very helpful with recommendations on places to see in the area.

Room was outdated and kind of musty smell. Check in was quick and friendly.

Older motel

Its a very cozy place nd close to alot of things.

Old Motel but in very convenient location with short walk to beach.

The property is in a great location very near popular beaches and restaurants. Most staff were courteous. It was quiet so I was able to get a good nights sleep. The property unfortunately is way outdated but has a great in ground pool that is well maintained. Our room was not cleaned well , there was black mold in the shower faucet and strands of hair in the bathroom. Also carpet smelled remnants of smoke and large amounts of dust accumulated on the floor. We had an efficiency room and the utensils had to be washed and oven was in poor condition with knob missing. The housekeeper walked in to our room unexpectedly luckily the door chain was on. Overrall much improvement is needed and the property could have great potential.

Needs updating and supplies in the room, towels and bedding had strange smell.

Great relaxed place

Frankie and Joe Sr and Margret are the most amazing people ever! The entire establishment is top notch! Stay at Windjammer if your ever in the area!!!

Very nice hotel personnel and location. Recommended!

Always a great time at the Windjammer! It is very close to Island Beach State Park, which is favorite place to visit there. This is my second year in a row going to the Windjammer and I will be staying there again as soon as possible!

The room was disgusting, there was dust and cobwebs in every corner of the room. There was hair in the shower, and the towels smelled like mildew and bleach. I was really disappointed, old and outdated is one thing but dirty is a whole other story.

Love staying there! Looks like they’re starting to update which is nice to see!! New beds and dressers would be my next update clean and simple not to bulky. Did mention the cleanliness to the owner before leaving. But overall a great stay!!

The staff were so nice and welcoming, the location was very convenient and the room was good over all. The kitchen in the room was such a help on budgeting. Definitely a place I’ll be going back to !

Good ❤️

very friendly and welcoming staff and nice pool

Second stay here and I love it. Family owned and operated they make you feel like one of their own! Beach so close, pool is beautiful and warm!

I missed seeing that the check-in was by 6:30pm, but the owner called and agreed to wait until 9pm for me. He was very personable and friendly. The room was clean and warm and there was plenty of hot water. The property is dated but we stayed 2 nights and it was fine. I was happy with the comfort of my bed but my wife prefers a pillow top soft feel.

Old place, but all good. No complaints. Real keys for the room doors. Remember metal keys?!

Nice place

A blast from the past: key entry, daily housekeeping, proximity to beach! Dislikes: dirty A/C unit, floor carpet dirt around wall and furniture edges, no attempt to replace stairwell lightbulb, elevator not available between 9pm and 8am.

The mold in the bathroom curtain. Lousy job on the not so clean linen and changing them

I enjoyed our stay at the Windjammer. Location is ideal. You can walk to anything in the area. Staff extremely pleasant & friendly, as were other guests. The restaurant & bar were a plus to have onsite. Daily Happy Hour was a bonus; all drinks are $1 off. Was looking forward to the reported free appetizers but the waitress told us that's only in off-season. It was great to have Beach Badges included. The rooms were very clean although outdated. We had a small double bed for 2 & it would have been nice to have a Queen instead. Nonetheless, we slept very well.
