Wonder what happened here?
Bruce E.

There are no words to fully describe how disgusting this place was. I can't believe such an establishment is still open because it's a health hazard. Just to give you an idea of why you should not stay here, consider these things: the hot & cold water was backwards, it looked like a toddler painted the place, the carpet probably contained several unknown species, the smell was horribly overwhelming, my pillow looked like it had a bloodstain - I could go on and on about the extremely pathetic quality and condition this place was in... When attempting to cut our visit 1 day short, the manager would not issue a refund as that is their policy. During our complaints about our terrible experience he stated that's why there are no refunds. It was almost like he was taunting us because he kept repeating "what are you going to do about it." Luckily we outsmarted him and were able to get our money back for both nights by contacting our credit card company. The credit card company knew about the motel because of the many complaints they received so it was fortunately a seamless process to get a refund. Point blank - DO NOT stay here - don't support this sad excuse of a business!

Window INSIDE of room!

DISGUSTING!! Only gave 1 star because I don't know how to give less than one. I have heard that places like this exist...never actually seen one before. Sleep in a dumpster instead of this place at least you won't be ripped off. I LOVE the sign in the office when you check in that says "Absolutely NO refunds." very clever. Rust on the shower curtain rod. Holes in the walls. Dirty carpet. Lots of mold inside the window sills. Bed linen reeked...i could go on and on and on. Staying here felt like I was being Punk'd. Check out the pics of the room. I am not exaggerating.

Sticky surface on night stand

The old bait and switch. Photos look like the place is clean...Not even close. Walked into the room and turned right around see photos

dirt walls and paint peeling. looks hand crafted

it's a wreck in this place .. first of all we got given the wrong room and wasn't what i paid for.. and on top of all of that they gave me a roll out bed when we were meant to have 3 beds included i truely wish i would've seen how bad this place was before hand. almost left my vacation early.

Mold.. mosquitoes..water stained ceiling tiles. Dirty sandy floors.. just gross!

I have never stayed in a motel this disgusting. It was mosquito infested. The floors were dirty and sandy. The furniture looks like it came from a garage sale! The management wouldn't let us switch rooms nor compensate us !

The beds are like rock. The room is clean, looks nice. When…read moreI turned in the faucet, the water came out brown, maybe hasn't been used since summer, so ok it cleared up in short time. But the beds are awful. We can't sleep on this bed another night.

My family was looking to stay at a place near my Aunt and Uncle's shore house and found this hotel…read more They decided to stay here since one of our cousin's has come here and said it was his go-to place. The motel is relatively clean, I'll give them that. There's what it ends... First of all, we arrived 15 minutes after check-in was supposed to start. My Mom and I had to drive around the parking lot FIVE TIMES at least before we found a spot (second to LAST SPOT in the back of the parking lot). This is due to all the people going to the restaurant next door (The Crab Trap) and using the hotel's parking......... When we arrive, the woman checking in asked for our license plate number, and when my Mom said she wasn't sure, she pretty much demanded that "by tonight", my Mom needed to take a picture of the license plate to show her (we never ended up doing that...). Since we had a lot of bags, I used a luggage cart that they had in the lobby to bring our bags upstairs. The cart was super hard to navigate and the wheels would barely move. It kept crashing into walls and not moving. There is only one elevator in the entire motel, and it runs slow as molasses. (And the elevator is SMALL), it fits 3-4 people comfortably MAX. Any more than that is super super confining and claustrophobic. When we got into our hotel room, the room seemed clean. The remote is covered in plastic (that we were NOT to remove according to the directions). There was also a sign in the bathroom talking about how all everyone raves about their "spa towels" and how they're able to be purchased for a set price. The towels felt SUPER rough... In addition, if any items were missing, they listed an itemized price list of how much you would pay for each item. Once we got in the room, I left the luggage cart outside our room (figuring that hotel staff would grab it and bring it down). Five minutes after we got in our room, we received a phone call on the hotel phone. I answer and the Front Desk asks if I took a cart. When I said yes and that I left it outside the room, she says "Can you bring it down for the other guests to use since there's only three?" Is it normal for hotel guests to have to bring the cart back down??? I almost wanted to ask what their hourly rate was so that they could pay me... Our hotel room also had a door which appears to be a conjoined room. However, we were nervous since the door didn't 100% close within the door frame (or at least didn't look like it), so we were scared someone from next door could come in if they really wanted to. We slept fine in the room (the bed and the pillows were comfortable enough. In the morning, when we were checking out, we went in the elevator and there was a used condom in the corner......... We notified the front desk and they were appalled that they had never seen that in their 26 years of working as a staff member. Also, the cleaning supplies that the maids were using were very very strong and have a sickening powdery chemical smell. It ended up choking my Nana, and she is used to cleaning with bleach which is strong.. All in all, the motel served its purpose (we were only here two nights), but I wouldn't want to come back...

We chose this hotel because we specifically wanted a suite. Suites typically have a separate…read morebedroom, otherwise they would be simply called a hotel room. This was not a suite. It was a slightly larger room with a sofa just a few feet away from the beds. Not only was this not a suite, but the bathroom sink was just a few feet away from the bed. If one needed to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, they would have to awaken everyone in the room by turning on the light to wash their hands. We decided to make the best of it, and looked for ice in our freezer to have a drink (kitchen was also in the one big room). No ice. No ice cube trays. We called the front desk to ask for the location of an ice machine. She told us to move the arm down on our ice maker. We told her there was no ice maker. She insisted there was. We told her again there wasn't. She didn't believe us. She finally offered us some ice from their kitchen, which we had to go get. Breakfast. Wasn't. Apples, cereal, granola bars and packaged, sugary muffins. There was a toaster, but nothing to toast. Even the cheapest motels offer bagels, English muffins or bread. Oh, and they allow animals. If you are allergic, or don't want to hear barking at all hours, stay away. Come to think of it, stay away anyway. They got a star because the bed was comfortable. They also do not provide any service. You need towels, or soap, or anything - come and get it....lol. Don't forget to make your bed.

A smidge on the retro side could Use some updating…read more We had a loft suite which gave us room to spread out for the evening. Beds seem comfortable. There was an unknown splatter on the bathroom wall, behind the door, not sure if it gets missed or is stained. full kitchen is nice. The vinyl couch and chair were weird 80s vibe I generally don't complain but it wasn't as clean as it should be, there was food remnants in the microwave and fridge.

Let me start off by saying that my wife, my stepdaughter, my family, and i vacation here over the…read moresummer. My wife and I decided to see what the Flanders were going to offer us. We meet with Lisa and did a walk around the ballroom and garden room. Lisa made us feel so welcomed and explained our options and answered our questions. We immediately booked our destination wedding which occurred on May 23,2026. All our family and friend reside in Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Manhattan, Long Island, and New Jersey. Lisa and Molly began to help us find vendors by providing us with a vendor list. We chose everything from their list, and we were very happy with their vendor list. We booked a block of rooms for our family and friends. Lisa and Molly kept in contact with us the entire time. We went down for a food tasting, and we knew this wedding was going to be amazing. We meet the chef and maître d who will be taking care of us. The food was amazing. The room was set up perfectly. Our cocktail hour was great. There was plenty of staff on hand to make out wedding amazing. Lisa and Molly were both honest, professional, caring, and overall friendly. They answered the million emails I sent them, took my phone calls, and helped us from day one till the ending of our wedding weekend with the brunch. The wedding party went on without any hitches or issues. Our guests spoke about how wonderful and attentive the staff was, how beautiful and clean the ballroom was, how clean the bathrooms were, and how amazing the food was. We had plenty of space for dancing, a photobooth, rolling bar, coffee station, and seating for our guests. The food was served at a good pace and served hot. I did not feel rushed at all. When the night was over, the staff packed everything up for us and transported it to our room. The next morning, we hosted a brunch. The staff was so attentive at the brunch. All the breakfast food was so good. They cleared plates and continued to bring out more breakfast items during the whole time. Lisa was with us on the night of the wedding and at the brunch the next day. I have to say, we were so pleased with Lisa and her staff and the Flanders. If you're looking for a nice, easy going, fun wedding, you need to book here.

Check-in and out was seem less. There was always someone at the desk to help us and they were very nice. They provide beach passes, parking is only $15 a day. The place is very clean, beautifully decorated and recently renovated (in the last few years). The rooms have their own AC units, beds are comfortable, bathroom is big with 10ft ceilings, a rain shower head for the perfect pressure and shower experience. Beds were very comfortable. Breakfast is from 6am-10am. You can help yourself to cereal and oatmeal but they also have different menu items everyday. Today was omlet with 5 toppings or a parfait. The meal was well balanced with an arugula salad and a healthy serving of a variety of fruit. Coffee, tea, milk and OJ available. I loved sitting on the porch in the rocking chairs throughout the day reading my book. They offer blankets and umbrellas. Lemonade, coffee, tea, cookies, and wine are available in the evenings sometimes. Water (hot and cold) available from their filtered machine. You can sit inside or enjoy the porch area where there was a nice breeze. The owner, Sne, can be found working at all hours of the day. From serving coffee in the morning, fixing something in the afternoon, and delivering ice cream in the evening. He takes great care of the place and it's decorated with antiques he has collected. Only a couple blocks away from the boardwalk/wateraprk. The hospitality, attention to detail, and cleanliness were unmatched. We were only here for a night and are excited to return next time.
