It was a great stay! The owner of the motel was very friendly and very helpful, accommodated for a lot of things that I asked for. Will definitely book here again!
Owners were very helpful and a nice couple. The room had everything we need for our 3 day stay. Only complaint I would have is the tvs werent smart tvs so you couldn't use Netflix or anything like that and the pool closed at 5pm. Overall a nice stay.

Location was a 10 we didn’t have to take the car anywhere once parked. Pool was nice and clean.
The WiFi was a struggle and the AC was a struggle.

First I was Skeptical because I read the review after I booked, Then I seen other good reviews on another site.
I MUST say this place was amazing! originally I got a room with 1 Full Bed, and i son was going to use an air mattress, Once we arrived we realized that the room just wasn't big enough, I went to the office and asked if they had another room with 2 beds available. They didn't hesitate to give us a bigger room!
The staff we had were amazing, friendly and made us all feel right at home from the moment we arrived!
The pool was clean and so nice to swim in after a long day at the beach or boardwalk.
Speaking of beach and Boardwalk it was only a block away if that. every morning if we didn't make coffee in our room we'd just walk right up to the boardwalk and grab a cup..
Many other places to eat off the Boardwalk, Across the street from El Ray was a bagel shop with fresh bagels, They were good!
They have a Rooftop Deck that when you stand on it you can see the boardwalk and beach/ocean, it does close early but, we realized that reasoning behind that was its over another unit, so its just respect for the guest who were staying under it.
We are already talking about about going again before summer ends.
Everything was Perfect for Us
Atmosphere was Great
Onsite parking
Not Issues
Other guest weren't loud-We all talked
Surrounding area was clean, wasn't loud
EL RAY MOTEL Did Not Disappoint!!
They most Definitely will have us Again!!
THANK YOU.!

The staff are excellent, the pool was super cold, the surrounding tenants were very noisy until late at night.
We had a nice experience. Comfortable room especially beds with a balcony. People at the office were very nice. Family trip. I would recommend this place for families. Nice environment.
The staff were very nice. The room was perfect for 3 kids and myself. The tv didnt work well but the less technology the better on vacation anyways. Love how it had a front and back patio!
My husband and I did a quick day trip and ended up staying over night. We arrived early and the staff was nice enough to let us checkin early. They also upgraded our room and no additional charge. The hotel is a bit outdated but the cleanliness was 10/10. There’s a nice size pool on the property that goes as deep as 9ft so please be careful. Over all we will be back! Great staff. Great stay!

Walking distance to the beach and Boardwalk. Hotel is outdated, but clean. Had a problem with the refrigerator, they had somebody come to room & check it pretty fast. The front desk person was very nice and loved her bird Max. Addressed parking problem with other guests fast. Had fresh linen every day. Expected a little more due to how much was paid. Had a good time with family and friends. Pool was open and clean.
Everyone we came across was friendly. Front desk and housekeeping. The Motel was only a block away from the boardwalk. The views from the room balcony and rooftop was cool.
My entire Family travels here yearly, my first year in my own room with kids & my sisters been coming last couple of years! This is an annual trip.
My brother, 2 sisters, mom & dad.
We all had separate rooms. All equally had a beautiful visit.
We also had a bunch of kiddos. Each and every one of us have created unforgettable memories at the ElRay ! Thank you and we will be be back
Don’t do it! Stay anywhere else. Any rating higher than 1 is a lie. I never rated any hotel before. But I’ve never stayed anywhere worse than this. I’m rating it so you don’t make the same mistake. Great location but it is horrible.
