Perfect stay for a few nights in March. Room was clean and quiet. We had everything we needed. Beds were very comfortable!

Buyer beware: ‼BED BUGS‼ we checked into our hotel & weren't even in the room a full hour before we found a bed bug. We immediately left, showed the front desk the photos of the bed bug & sent pictures to their email. The owner Faye said she would give us a full refund but did not stay true to her word. We were constantly calling this hotel to get into contact with Faye again but we were receiving the run arounds & also told they never received the photos even though we sent the photos to 3 different emails of there's. This all happened on July 17th 2026. It is now July 20th & we just got a call from Faye herself & she was immediately defensive, angry & very very unprofessional. I even had to ask her if she treats all her customers like this? She was very unprofessional. Faye started gaslighting us, claimed she called pest control & complained she had to pay for it even though that's her responsibility & job as a business owner. Faye claimed pest control labeled the bug in OUR photos a sand flea & that we brought the bug in from the beach. The bug in our photo is 100% A BED BUG ON THE BEDS PILLOW. a simple google search of our photo will tell you it's 100% a bed bug. I'm sure when they respond to this review they will deflect & claim "we trashed the room" because it seems that's the only excuse/defense she can come up with. like I said, when we went in, we took a shower and then started getting ready to leave for dinner then left because we found the bed bug. The only mess we left was towels with sand on the bathroom floor because we had just came from the beach. We didn't have time to clean the bathroom up because we had found the bed bug & did not want to take the chance of the bugs spreading to our personal belongings. The beds were still made when we left. The actual room was clean & left the way we found it. We did leave the pillow that was on the bed on the table because that's the pillow the bed bug was on. Remember, we weren't in the room for a full hour so how could we have "trashed the room"? Our only mistake was not looking at the reviews of this hotel before booking. If you look through the reviews here & on yelp, you will see many complaints of this same bed bug problem & also see reviews of people claiming Faye is very unprofessional and rude. I truly feel bad for the front desk workers because they are the sweetest & it seems they have to sadly deal with all the problems that Faye refuses to fix. Please avoid booking here. read more

We booked from July 17th - 18th, we didn't even stay an hour because we saw a bed bug. We didn't make a huge deal out of it, the owner was very apologetic and kind at first and we declined the offered free stay and wanted our money back. Over the course of a few days, and multiple phone calls, it was obvious they were avoiding us. Finally, today, we got a call from the OWNER, Fae, and to say she's angry is an understatement. She's claiming we left the room dirty due to "sand" being all over the shower and bathroom, well mam, WE WENT TO THE BEACH lol, on top of that, she was claiming we "trashed" the room, mind you, the beds were still made when we left and the only used thing about the room was the bathroom right after coming from the beach. Fae decided to bring up the fact that she has multiple businesses, how could she ever be wrong, that she reversed image searched the pictures of the bed bug and apparently google told her its a "sand flea", but if you look at these images, and reverse it yourself, its an adult, male bed bug. She also claimed they had their pest control company to look at the photo and the room and said they ALSO said it was a sand flea. I highly doubt that a company actually looked at it, and if they did, highly uneducated. Anyone would tell you, that its a bed bug. I even posted these images on a specific reddit forum for bed bug issues, and have gotten multiple comments that it is 10000%, a bed bug. A full grown male bed bug btw. https://www.reddit.com/r/Bedbugs/s/CIe4TSxcXY Link to the post ^ Over the course of the phone call with Fae, she was extremely unprofessional, couldn't handle it without screaming and hanging up. Mind you, if you look at past reviews, a couple other people have said the same thing. Their refund was denied, their kids had bed bug bites, they SAW bed bugs, and overall just mentioned how unprofessional the owner was about the situation. Its clear that the owner will do anything to deflect the actual issues going on, its always an excuse they reply with and overall, extremely unprofessional behavior. Here is the video of the owner being extremely unprofessional with us on the phone too, and straight up lying then trying to claim i'm "contradicting" myself and all other types of things. https://drive.google.com/.../1SJ4s9HtMMtxxohh7CqE.../view... Link to the video ^ Just don't book here, avoid the headache and avoid your kids and or yourself getting bit up by bed bugs. read more

Modest hotel located at the end of a shopping center. Rooms were dated but very clean. Easy access to Garden State Parkway. There is no elevator so you need to be prepared to walk up a flight of steps with your luggage. I'm read more

1 out of 5 stars "Found a Snake in Our Bathroom--Staff Called It 'An Act of Nature'" We stayed at Blue Creek Inn hoping for a peaceful stay for my daughter's dance competition, but our experience was anything but. At about 8a.m., I went to use the bathroom and was shocked to find a live snake curled up near the toilet. A literal snake. Inside the room. In the bathroom. I woke my 11 year old daughter up to go get someone at the front desk in a panic while I contained the snake so it wouldn't get into our room and luggage. A woman named Pam eventually came up, confirmed it was a snake (as if we could've been mistaken), picked it up with her hands, and threw it out the patio door like this was just another Monday. When we asked about some kind of compensation we were told it was "an act of nature" and that "the snake wasn't even that big." Apparently, the front desk called the owner only after I asked to speak to the manager, who also refused to offer any kind of refund or adjustment to our bill. Their reasoning? Since the snake wasn't large it didn't count as a serious issue. I don't care what size it was--there was a snake in our room. That alone is unacceptable for any establishment claiming to offer safe, comfortable accommodations. At no point did anyone express genuine concern, offer to move us to another room, or even provide a discount for the sheer trauma of waking up to a wild animal inside our bathroom. Bottom line: if you're looking for a place that treats unexpected wildlife in your room as no big deal and prioritizes their bottom line over guest safety, this is the place for you. Otherwise, I suggest staying far, far away. read more

So happy we stayed here!! We had a really great experience. The front desk staff was truly wonderful, kind and so considerate. Our room was clean and stocked. It had a mini fridge with a freezer, an iron, blow dryer and coffee in the room. We were able to park on the side of the building and access our room right by our car and they had a cute table and chair set up that we would sit at. They had some board games we could take back to the room as well. The pool area was really enjoyable. Chairs, tables and umbrellas were offered and the water was crystal clear and they checked the water often! The parking lot that it's in is also really great. To be honest we were a little taken back by it's location but it really turned out to be great. There was a restaurant a few steps away as well as an adorable thrift store which we found a lot of things at actually! There was also a brewery, a pizza place and across the street was an antique shop. Down the road was a liquor store, gas station and a dollar general which we stopped at. It was just really conveniently located. The drive to surf city was about 45 minutes which wasn't bad at all. If your staying for a weekend and want an affordable place to stay with great service- this is it! read more

Our room was dark and dingy. The pictures on the site are very deceiving. The "inn" is located in the back of a shopping center. Directly behind it there's a recycling center that looked like a repair shop. The back door and window in our first floor room were facing this business. The back door wouldn't lock! We had to slam it several times. The room was dark and musty!! The tub was stained. It was a nightmare!! We asked, but they didn't have any other rooms. And at $300 a night it's a joke! Not convenient if you're visiting LBI as the drive back and forth was about 35 minutes each way. Stay away!! read more

I booked a room at this hotel on June 22,2022. I informed them I would be checking in around 10pm. It had poured rain that day and continued into the evening. I attempted to get to the hotel but due to construction and the rain I couldn't reach the hotel. I called them to tell them I couldn't get thete they said no problem we will not charge you. I just received my credit card bill and there was the charge! I called the hotel and was more or less too bad! The woman said they could have rented out the room Who does business like this! read more

Highly suggest you find another hotel. Beds are the most uncomfortable I've ever slept in, the room smelled like chemicals(should have known something was up with all the glade plug ins everywhere) they didn't do a very good reno and spent the money in the wrong places really half ass. The black out curtains are an inch above the window so the sun shines right in your eyes in the morning, the door frame has gaps so the hallway light shines through into the room, changed counter in the bathroom but left the old yellow toilet‍ Photos are deceiving! They did give is our money back (we only stayed one night, hours to be exact) but the owner was rude and the manager acted completely shocked like she'd never heard these complaints before. There is NO WAY anyone has enjoyed sleeping there. read more

This place is terrible. They double charged my card and took 7 days to refund my money. They have bed bugs and sent an old man to spray when I complained. They refused to give me another room. My young child has asthma. This created a big problem. I would NEVER stay here again. BEWARE !!! read more

If I could give zero, I would. Bugs, no toilet paper, extra hidden charges are what my guest reported. I was mortified that my friends and family had to endure this he'll hole. Do not book here! read more

Clean, professional, beautiful -- great pool that was sparkling with luxury lounge chairs. Designer touch. Microwave and fridge in room with flat screen TV - nicely done ! Will stay again read more

Had to drive down from Tennessee on an emergency so the hotel was booked through Expedia the day of. Wasn't arriving until 2:30am. At midnight they send me an email stating that the lobby closes at 1am. Upon calling they state that it's says that they close at 1 online and to try to cancel and get a refund because nobody can check me in. This was kind of a shock because I've never seen a hotel lobby that wasn't 24/7 and had to find a new hotel. When you google this hotel there are no hours of operation and on Expedia you have to go all the way to the bottom and read their policy to see that information. Nothing I can do then but cancel through Expedia then I received an email a few days later stating the hotel refused my refund due to policy. Called the manager and she tells me that they called and emailed me at 10pm to warn me. Never got a call and didn't receive an email until midnight(an hour before they close). She then has the audacity to say if I showed up they could have had someone across the street to check me in. I told her I called the front lobby after the email was sent and was told there was nothing that they can do. She asked who it was, I told her I didn't know probably whoever was on the schedule at the time. Finally she tells me that if I would have answered at 10 they would have told me about the guy that could check me in and that they can't just refund anyone who wants to cancel. I never received a phone call at 10pm and why wouldn't the worker have told me at 12 when I called that someone could have let me in. I then asked if someone really called me at 10 why was the email sent at 12 and not at 10 after I supposedly did not answer the phone. Says sir we can't just keep calling you and calling you to make sure your coming. These people are crooks and should advertise on every site that they close at 1am. Not the very bottom of Expedia in the policy. Just because your a small business doesn't mean you should screw people out of their money read more

Stayed here for a few nights for a local event. Place is in a strip mall. Junk yard is to the rear. We got there late at night, exhausted because we had been travelling all day. Rooms were dingy, damp and smelled musty. Once we settled in, my wife went to grab another pillow off of the second bed in the room and saw bloodstains on it, she removed the covers to that bed, there was blood on the sheets too. Obviously, we thoroughly checked the remaining bed which didn't have anything on it so we decided to stay. My wife took photos and went to the desk in the morning but there was no one there (they have NOONE there between 1 AM and about 8 AM). Once someone showed up the she showed them the photos and explained what happened. They said that they would have housekeeping go through the whole room and clean. There was no place local that we could go to except a place with a bad reputation so we decided to suck it up and stay. When we came back, they had cleaned the room. The bed was uncomfortable, the pillows were like bricks, the room was musty and there plug in "air fresheners" all over the place. When we spoke with other people in our party, the all had similar comments about their rooms (except the blood) and a few didn't have hot water. We definitely will never stay at this place again and won't recommend it to anyone else either. read more
