    The private beach is perfection.
    KarenMaddenDreiser ..

    I know how hard they work I love Driftwood Motel, my one suggestion. Is to have a smoking area so people can not litter your beautiful property. The rooms are adorable, and the beach is perfection. I used the pool, and that was great. My husband had food, and that was great as well! Besides the cigarettes and the parking which is very difficult we had a fantastic time. The only place I would stay in Point Pleasant NJ xoxo

    I was very impressed with how clean and nice the rooms were. The staff was friendly as well.

    The beach is beautiful

    I love the Driftwood and it's private beach. They did a very nice job upgrading rooms..Betty Ann works extremely hard. I just wish they could find a rewards program or incentive for repeat customers. We have used the Driftwood for years! Coming back in September and did a room upgrade. I WILL LET YOU KNOW IF ITS WORTH IT OR NOT! Karen

    I used my flashlight at night to just see the Cobb Webb and dust bunnies on the ceiling... SMH!!

    The place was chosen as a last minute get away b/c of Covid. It was okay... however not that clean! What I loved was the private section on the beach and it being away (like a 10 minute walk to the boardwalk). I didn't like that we had to change rooms the night before we left... (Reason was that someone had booked our initial room) The second room however was better then the first; as it had 3 beds and the first one only had 2 and it was 3 of us.... ( Why not give us that room initially?!?) Will I return.... maybe not! My stay wasn't as pleasant given the rooms lack of cleanliness...

    Flea bites. Very itchy.. My skin stayed at least for a week like this.. Disgusting. I should've sue them about this!

    See all

    Always a great time. Located in the perfect spot on the strip. Pool is clean and heated. Breakfastand lunch right next to pool is perfect.

    I'm at this motel. It's 3:45am. Usually I save my reviews for after checkout, but this place is…read moreextra special, so here we are. The sheets and pillows are WET. When we checked in, we noticed they seemed damp, but we turned on the AC unit thinking it would dehumidify the room while we were at the beach, and we went out for 8hours or so. Then we returned, pulled back the covers and found that the sheets were also really damp. And the pillows were still damp. My 10 year old was super uncomfortable, so I called the front desk... "Hello, this is room 16...umm....our pillows seem really damp...is this something the other rooms are experiencing too?" Front desk clerk, "That's because the humidity has been so high and it hasn't been hot and it's because of the air conditioners making them cold. They are just cold. I felt them myself earlier." Me: "oh...Umm...ok, thank you." Nobody tell my husband we paid $195 for this room. I'm sure they have a dryer on the property. Or maybe a couple spare pillows that aren't wet? I used to work at a hotel, and I can't imagine allowing a guest to try to sleep with wet pillows and sheets. They are so wet that if you lay on them, it makes your skin wet. Both beds. It's not comfortable. Survival tip: Take the wet sheets off the bed and sleep on top of the comforter, and use your packed vacation clothes on top of the pillows to keep your hair and face dry. ORRR...take the comforters to the car and sleep there and bring them back in the morning. Right now my dress and leggings are keeping us from dying. I turned the heat up to 80 in a fruitless effort to evaporate the humidity. Then back to 72. Then back to 80. Then back to 70, because my daughter was hot. I'm sure whatever money they saved by not giving these blankets and sheets an extra 10 minutes in the dryer they have surely lost in electricity from my trying to fix this problem... We turned the AC unit off for a while, since it seemed to be doing more harm than good, but an exuberantly loud Italian guy was outside smoking and talking, while his female friend kept telling him he needs to be quieter because he was "seriously louder than loud dude" (her words, not mine). I personally enjoyed listening in on their conversation, but my family found it annoying as they were trying to sleep. Italian dude thinks that companies are hiding the cure to cancer because it would cost them money to cure it. I think that's a pretty big conspiracy theory, and he didn't have much evidence, but hey...the pillows are wet so, waddya Gonna do? AmIRight? Check in was ok. No masks on anyone, which would usually bother me but I'm vaccinated so...okie dokie. Front desk lady was terrible at recommending a restaurant. (By the way, if you want seafood, "The Shrimp Box" was expensive af but realllly good.) She didn't mention any place by name, but she was nice. Note: They no longer have half price beach tags at this motel, ever, according to her. The room was very clean. The shower is a one-piece surround, so no mold cracks. But the pillows were WET... There was no dust on any of the blinds in the 3 windows...But wet pillows ... The refrigerator and microwave are clean. But...w.e.t PILLows... There is no hair dryer. There is also no air vent anywhere, not even the bathroom. I chose this place because it looked like the closest to the beach...walking distance. But seeing so many available parking places right up by the boardwalk, I should have booked a nicer hotel with a little drive instead, and paid the $2.50 per hour to park. It may have even been cheaper. But right now, I would sell my soul for some dry sheets and a dry pillow.

    I was at a loss when I realized I was going to point Pleasant to find a nice hotel. Jersey shore…read morehotels are not the best and there are no chains. I reached out to an old friend who recommended the White Sands hotel. I didn't realize how large it is. My husband and I are staying in the main building and my daughter and family are across the street near the pools and ocean which is fine because they have small children. I have a king room which is fairly large with a nice little patio. It's called the parking lot view, but I can actually see the beach from here and on a clear day, the ocean as well. There's a restaurant on site as well as an indoor pool and hot tub. There is also a bourbon bar that opened which I haven't tried. The room is very clean and looks like it's been recently renovated. Since we are at the shore, it is a blessing not to have a carpet in the room trapping sand. The housekeeping staff does a really nice job. The bathroom is small just has a toilet and a small shower with the sink in the main area just outside the bathroom. That works for us. The only thing I would recommend is an additional nightstand. There's only one nightstand, although there are space for one on each side of the bed. I am using a crate to charge my things. There's a small microwave and a nice small refrigerator. We are one block from the beach. We have wristbands that open the doors to the room and also allow us pool and beach access. The beach is a little on the small side, but it is private with a lifeguard. Point pleasant is a nice little town with a lot of rental homes in the vicinity of the hotel. It's a quick walk to the boardwalk and the amusements it far enough away where it's quiet. It's only the weather would cooperate. You have to book these rooms by February and there's no telling what the weather is gonna be like so we've had some rain and clouds. We're thinking we'll be back next year. So far, a wonderful stay.

I called to book instead of using booking and we got a better price & a better room than booking.com had. Truly best vacation we have had. Pros : -affordable -family friendly atmosphere - Beautiful view ( bayberry building ocean view with balcony raised first floor) -very clean -ALL the staff was SUPER friendly and helpful -Private beach access (trust me it's so worth it) -Clean pool -LOCATION- best location hands down right at the beginning of the boardwalk and on the beach. You can see the fireworks that they have every Thursday right at that end of the boardwalk. -The room got cold fast and stayed cool all day -OFFICE DOG literally coolest fog ever -next to a cute breakfast/lunch place -next to an ice cream place that has the best water ice and ice cream we've had ever. Cons -little outdated for sure -beds are not super comfortable but tolerable to be honest. -you can hear everything through the ceiling (but that's just apart of it not their fault) -balcony is right next to the walking path where people wash off from the private beach Overall it was so worth the price for just the location and view. We went on days we knew wouldn't be as busy. I loved it and would go back again but they are selling according to their FB. So hopefully whoever buys it keeps the family friendly atmosphere!

    As soon as I opened the bathroom door, there was hair and sand all over the floor, clearly it was…read morenever swept or vacuumed. I then noticed the urine stain under the seat that was flipped up. Light switches were never disinfected either, I had to pre clean visible surfaces myself. Beds are very uncomfortable. I would suggest stripping the bed before using it. I woke up the next morning to a womans stocking stuck to my blanket. Also, they do not use any fitted sheets, so good luck trying to keep the bedding attached to your mattress as you try to sleep. On our second night, no one mentioned that they were replacing the pool liner, so that was out of service. Pool is Not heated. They offer coffee but not until 7:30. Its not located in the office. You have to ask the housekeepers to make it. I can't say that I enjoyed anything about my stay, other than the easy beach access. Which is also confusing. The windswept beach entrance is not out front like you would think. You do have to walk about a block or two to the right along the beach to your designated area. Save yourself from the regrets.
