    Very nice looking hotel, the service and restaurant was pretty good too. Prices are normal to the area. Rooms are spacious and clean, large tv channels options. The only minus was the pool hours, it closes at 8pm where normally most places close at 10pm

    I wanted an all inclusive vibe without the plane ride so this was it. Hard working friendly staff run the show here and everyone from the valet team to the front desk were outstanding. I loved the beach shuttle and free beach chairs. The rooms are spacious, immaculate and the shower actually has water pressure! We didn't dine on the property but they have plenty of options. Odd location on the highway but very close to all the island has to offer. Why this is not 5 stars: the pillows were way too soft on the bed. You need to use three to get comfortable. I also wish this was adults only. Huge families with obnoxious kids up at all hours of the night, all crammed into a tiny pool area which made it unusable for us. They took over the hot tub and pool, god forbid an adult wants to use this!

    A quick anniversary getaway for one night we decided to give the Hotel LBI a try and we were very happy with our choice. New, lovely and everything very spacious including our room we were soon talking about a return visit down the road in a month or two. What's not to like about happy hour on a Friday night and the place was a buzz with mostly locals roaming in to check out their new gateway hotel to their barrier island. Two bars accommodate the crowded happy hour and both very busy indeed serving drinks and bar food by their friendly staff. Prices were very friendly as well. Although there seems to be a fair number of disgruntled visitors, based on their Yelp reviews, I can only speak to our visit which was a single night in a king suite and we were very pleased. Check out my attached photos of our room which was AAA discounted for a decent price considering the accommodation.

    View from room 224

    Came down to LBI to celebrate milestone birthday and first thing we see is the view from room 224. Gtfo with that. Paying over $650 / night for 3 nights, and enjoying the view of samsungs filtration and ac units. Just beautiful. Shower water smells like sewage and the same coming from the drain, had to put a towel over it to prevent fumes from coming up. Tried to eat breakfast there and it took close to hour to flag someone and get a bowl of yogurt with granola. It's also in a crappy location, and they tell you the shuttle runs to the beach, but what they don't tell you is that you'll wait half hour because it only fits 5-6 people (a minivan) and there's a line every morning. The ship bottom beach has no public restrooms or parking, so you either walk to Wawa 2 blocks and wait in a bathroom line there (again it's the only nearest bathroom) or call the shuttle to go back to the hotel. Based on the overall experience we'd never return. Also, room 224 should just be boarded up. Like why would you do this to your patrons?

    Another great stay here. It's like being at a high end resort. Rooms are so big and beautiful. Bed is so comfortable everything they do is right. Valet service free. Room turn over done while your out. Nothing cheaply made they don't cut corners. Believe me it's not cheap at all for anything here. Your paying top dollar but I find it worth it for being pampered couple times a year

    Food was delicious. Abby was an absolutely amazing server. She was constantly checking on us to make sure we had everything we needed, knew the menu very well, and chimed in with good jokes throughout the night. Try their Mac and cheese, short rib & lovely lady drink. Overall great night with even better service

    Rooftop Bar
    Nat H.

    Pretty good for "Whataya, new¿" Rooftop bar is great. Awesome views, good drinks. Get up there early, they have a rooftop capacity reg., and an elevator operator with a counter. Interior decor is very well appointed. Rooms $$$$. Salt restaurant, is good and can get better.... PLEASE INVEST IN CEILING MOUNTED NOISE ABSORPTION TECHNOLOGY.

    THE WORST STAY IVE EVER HAD. They took 4 hours to get us into a room. And they were unresponsive. Stay elsewhere. Like Daddy O's.

    Do they have a happy hour?

    Yes - Tues-Thurs 5-7pm inside. I am pretty sure the rooftop has something too, but not 100%

    Are the in room kitchens stocked with pots , pans Etc.?

    Is the rooftop bar open to the public?

    Yes, I believe it's open until 10. They do have a cap at how many people can be up there so sometimes people have to wait to go up. It's so nice though!

To start, you have to call for availability and to book a room. You will likely talk to Joe, one of the owners, who always seems to run the front desk. Joe is a TOTAL sweetheart. He made the booking process easy and simple and wished us safe travels on our way to the Motel. We were also going to be arriving a bit late and Joe kept the front desk open so we could pick up our keys! The rooms are so cute and have almost everything you need for a weekend away. We had a fridge, microwave, tv, and Keurig in our room. The only think that seemed to be missing was a hairdryer so be sure to bring your own when you come! One of the best things about the Motel was that Joe gave us a ton of suggestions for restaurants and things to do on the coast. The Islander Motel also provides beach tags for guests so you don't have to buy a daily one at the beach. Our stay at the Islander Motel was awesome! We will definitely be coming back to visit again sometime soon. Thank you Joe!!

Each room had hangers, a tv with Apple TV, a k-cup coffee machine, and two full beds that fit me my husband and son. Each room had rocking chairs outside and we were able to sit and watch the sunset from the room. Everything was in walking distance and i would say we will be coming back. Thank you for the amazing experience joe.

    The hotel is very nice . Our single queen room was very spacious and clean. The only negative thing…read moreI can say is that our room was on the 2nd floor above the restaurant entrance. We felt the effects of the door slam each and every time it was used. It was horrible ! As for the lower level garden area bar it is a very nice area. Bar service was hit and miss . We ordered food while sitting at the garden area bar, my order was messed up . Also, the server who brought our food out asked if we needed anything else . We told him and we never seen him again. The bartender told us that that person won't be back . He went himself and brought back what we needed . I opted not to send my food back. We went up to the rooftop bar a few days later . The drinks were horrible. We ordered appetizers and entrees. I only ordered an entree . The appetizers came out about 15 minutes later and the main dishes took over an hour. The manager greeted us before we ordered our food . As we waited a few servers & the manager swung by and asked if everything was okay. I told the manager that our food was taking extremely long . Didn't matter to him I guess . Finally our food arrived and the person asked do we need anything else . I requested some mayo, he said okay. He ran down the stairs as if he was headed to get it . He didn't . The next time I saw him, he had another table's food in hand. He whizzed by me and I asked if he had the mayo. I had already finished my food but it didn't matter . He totally ignored me ! I do recommend this hotel but I would recommend that you go elsewhere for a meal.

    First and foremost, the service was wonderful. Everyone I interacted with was extremely helpful…read moreand courteous. I stayed in a single queen room and the bathroom area was as spacious as the room! Really cute decor, lots of amenities. They provide towels, chairs and even umbrellas for your beach visit, which is walking distance (about 2 blocks). I had four 16 year old boys traveling with me and they stayed in a double queen room. They really loved the grab-and-go breakfast and coffee bar. And the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies in the afternoon! We stayed only one night but I would certainly return for an extended stay. Great hotel in a great location!

    We stayed in the family suite, which has 2 rooms (each containing 2 full beds and a full bathroom)…read moreand a kitchenette. There are 4 buildings on the property. Ours was located in the rear of the property (on google earth/maps you will see a giant osprey bird mural on the side). Our building felt as if it was formerly a motel of sorts, probably from the 1950s, or thereabouts. Booking our suite was easy, and we did so through a direct phone call to the hotel itself. A deposit was taken over the phone (the rest due at check-in). Very friendly, patient, and helpful receptionist. We arrived at the check-in time and our room was ready. Lovely front desk area complete with a fresh coffee station, sundries, and souvenirs. Again, friendly and cheerful. All questions answered. Our room was delightful. Having spent my summers in LBI rentals since the 1970s as a toddler, this suite was nostalgic. If you know, you know. Be prepared for a shore rental experience, rather than a standard hotel room. A nostalgic shore rental will be worn and imperfect- having held hundreds of happily sandy families through the years. Our rooms did not smell bad, they smelled like a salty aired rental. It's a familiar smell for the shore. The kitchenette must be original because I haven't seen a diner table and 50s style countertop like that for a long time. Everything in the kitchen was clean. No oven, but a stove. I brought a crock pot. Full fridge (small) with freezer. Silverware (bring soap). No dishwasher. Small microwave. Single pod coffee brewer. No teapot. Pots and pans. Dish rack. No dishwasher towels. There are glasses and plates/bowls. So, you enter into this kitchenette, then into room 1 which adjoins room 2. Like a horseshoe. Each room has a sliding door (screened) balcony overlooking the main parking lot, facing beachside. You cannot see the ocean. It's a quiet parking lot. Our beds were dressed in white sheets, 4 standard pillows per bed, and a white duvet covered thin comforter. Our beds were clean and comfortable. No stains, no hairs, no bugs. The pillows were squishy like feather pillows. The bathrooms are older and have been repeatedly repaired so you will see tile cracks, worn grout, etc. The toilets were clean (one seat had scratches, yet still clean). Sink and tub clean. There aren't any vents in the bathrooms (no A/C, no ceiling ventilation). However, being old-fashioned, there's a tilt window over the tub shower to let steam out. It was effective for us. The bathroom was fully stocked with: 6 towels each, soap bars, large shampoo/conditioner/body-wash (all orange scent), washcloths, and a bath mat. Towels were white, and clean. There aren't any phones in the rooms, so bring your cell chargers. Each room had a brand new screen TV, yet ours weren't programmed to work properly. We just used our laptops and didn't bother asking for help. I did request room service, which includes fresh towels and trash cleaned out. They don't have turned-down bed service if staying for multiple days. We had brand new air conditioners that cooled down quickly. I like my air cold, so this was perfect. The curtains were blackout. No safe. We didn't notice any noise until the last day- sounded like kids above us running around. To be expected. The resort fee included the old-fashioned wooden framed canvas beach chairs and unlimited beach towels. It was nice not to worry about the beach towels and have fresh ones daily. The beach at this location is nice and wide with its classic soft "sugar" sand and sandbars. Our kids had a blast, and we got a much needed relaxing break for 4 days. Can't beat the price. We felt safe, taken care of, and comfortable.

    Three and a half stars. Not amazing and not terrible…read more We were recently here in the off season for a wedding. Unfortunately this meant that the heated pool, the restaurant and the bar were all closed. Hotel prices should be much cheaper because of this reason, but they aren't. Thankfully, there is a restaurant called Dockside within walking distance on the main boulevard. Rooms are pretty small. Ours had 2 double beds and the area to walk around them is tight. Bathroom area to access the toilet is also tight. You have to enter and squeeze behind the door to close it to access the toilet and we are not large people. The shower stall was nice and big and very clean. It comes with shampoo/conditioner/bath gel in dispensers attached to the shower wall. Blow dryer in the bathroom sink cabinet. There is also an ironing board and iron in the closet. The room looked to be nicely renovated with a coastal and light/bright vibe to it. Everything was clean which is important. The air conditioner was a bit noisy at moments with some rattling but it did the job and didn't keep us awake. There is a mini fridge and a large tv on the wall. The best part is probably the proximity to the beach with easy access.
