    Our room

    We had a lovely stay at The Lamplight Motel! Our room was clearly recently renovated. It was clean and bright and cheery and cute. We love this area of the Jersey Shore and are so happy we chose to stay at The Lamplight. Highly recommend!

    I am an experienced traveler and have stayed at many hotels around the world. I love coming to Lavalette for many reasons. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 we were unable to rent out an Airbnb or VRBO like usual. With the absence of options, we ended up staying at the Lamplight Hotel. We were assigned room 15. I'll let the pictures do the talking. The manager, AnnMarie, left her employee to deal with the issues at hand as soon as she saw us coming to check out. As AnnMarie was nudging herself out the door, my teenage daughter stopped her to address the issue about the cruddy bath towels that were supplied to guest. Her response to her was "Then you should have left"! The hotel is filthy and the attitudes of the employees/management is an example of the type of business they run. Stay home or postpone your trip until more choices are available. Keep the Lamplight(er) so you don't see the filth!

    Steal rods (should have end caps) sticking out from under all the beds. Feel great when you walk into them

    Sunburst Motel - Standard Room with 2 Double Beds

    Sunburst Motel

    I'm convinced that people who leave poor reviews for motels don't realize what they're getting…read morethemselves into. Seaside isn't Martha's Vineyard or the Hamptons. You're not staying at the Ritz Carlton. Yes, the Sunburst Motel probably needs renovating since it was last decorated decades ago. Yes, there were cigarette burns in the bedding. However, it's clean for the most part, which can't be said about all of the motels in Seaside Heights. The bathroom was very nice. No, there isn't shampoo, body wash, or conditioner. Unfortunately, you'll have to stop by the local CVS and pick up a couple travel sized bottles. You'll survive. Some pros about our stay at Sunburst: There was a functional triple lock on the door. Definitely helps to know that we're safe. The beds were incredibly comfortable and warm despite the cigarette burn holes. That didn't really bother us too much. The bedding was clean. No bed bugs. We had a nice room with two beds, a kitchenette, TV, and refrigerator. The man who runs the front desk was very nice and helpful. I forgot to get his name but he was very friendly. It's very close to the middle of the boardwalk and beach. There was only one con about staying here. It's very loud and the walls are thin. We had noisy neighbors. Not really a fault of the motel but Seaside typically attracts the louder and younger crowd. Not a huge issue. There's also no daily maid service which doesn't bother us but I know that's a deal breaker for some. Overall, this is a comfortable, fairly clean, and safe place to stay in Seaside Heights. Again, don't come here if you're looking for a ritzy hotel. You'll definitely be disappointed. In fact, don't come to the Jersey Shore at all if you want to go somewhere classy. This isn't it. If you just want a comfortable and pleasant stay, this is a good option. Believe me, there are a lot of motels in the area that are in horrible condition and I would not feel safe staying at. Sunburst isn't one of them. It deserves the four stars. The Charlroy Motel is also another family friendly option in the area. More expensive and on the quieter side of town but worth the money. They were booked for the summer so Sunburst was our next option and they didn't disappoint!

    Went to Seaside Heights on a spontaneous overnight trip…read more Found a convenient parking lot next to beach. I asked parking attendant for motel recommendations. He gave Sunburst a thumbs up. Nice simple room, refrigerator, working AC. Clean room and bathroom! The pool is heated and great for evening use! Tyler, was very accommodating and gave us great restaurant recommendations! Gotta check out Sunset seafood! Good thing Tyler mentioned it was BYOB! Would definitely stay there again and recommend! Thanks Tyler!

    Not sure why this hotel has a low rating... The staff, especially Mohammed, is great. Any…read moreissues he tries to rectify immediately. If you want a hotel that clean, on the boardwalk, close to the beach and rides, and at the time allowed pets (please do not change!) you won't find better. Enjoyed so much this is our 3 year and multiple visits this year! More detail below... If you're looking for a stay that puts you right in thecenter of the action, Boardwalk Hotel Charlee is a solid choice. The location is unbeatable -- literally steps from the sand and right on the Seaside Heights boardwalk, so you can wake up to ocean views and the sound of waves. The rooms are simple but clean, with a beachy vibe that matches the laid-back atmosphere of the area. Love the balcony - perfect for sipping coffee while watching the sunrise over the Atlantic. The staff is friendly and accommodating, making check-in and check-out a breeze. Because it's right on the boardwalk, you should expect some noise, especially on summer weekends -- but that's part of the charm if you're here for the lively Jersey Shore experience. Parking can be a bit tight, so plan ahead. Pros: Prime oceanfront location Steps from restaurants, shops, and attractions Friendly, helpful staff Great views from select rooms Pet friendly Cons: Limited parking - but Mohammed manages well. Rooms are basic, not luxury - but clean and bright Overall: A great pick for travelers who want convenience, ocean views, and a true Seaside Heights vibe. Perfect for couples, friends, or families who plan to spend most of their time enjoying the beach and boardwalk.

    Mohammed and his staff are awesome. Mint lemon water and coffee are provided everyday in the lobby…read more Centrally located and yes it's a little ran down but aren't all the hotels in Seaside Heights?? I personally think it's all about the staff in the Seaside side Heights hotels and BHC staff are all TOP TIER, helpful, professional & knowledgeable of the scene. I love the renovations they're working on and this is definitely a safe space for the single gals to travel alone. Hoping to return soon!
