Good location & price

This place is adequate for a night or two. Do not expect a 5 star motel. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We were able to have the pooch for a $20/night fee. It's close to the boardwalk and other attractions. The motel could use some updates but it worked for us.

This hotel was absolutely disgusting. From the smell of old and new cigarette smoke when we walked in the room, there was no towels no hand soap and the flusher was broken off of the toilet. I was horrified when I stripped the beds because I brought my own sheets. I would never stay here again

basic bare bones but suffecient

Room was surprisingly spacious, was not expecting microve or refrigerator and they were there. there was no closet but there were drawers. An actual window air condtoning unit and we had complete control of tempeture. We were happy and it was least expensive we could find on such short notice. It is good to know that cost is same, so book direct wih hotel and make sure you dont get charged for trarvel insurance

I don't like to leave bad reviews but this one is well deserved. If you are looking for to stay I don't recommend this place. Not that cleaned and bad service. I had to leave this place 3 hr after check in, staff promised a refund, after days of waiting called the motel to ask explain my case again and I assume the manager told me that I will not get a refund. Don't waste or lose your money here.

The hotel door to our room was just locked with a button on the very wobbly doorknob. Anyone could push it open. I pushed a rusty tilted office chair under the knob. Only one key (not a card). There is a liquor store directly across the street The hotel was extremely old and needs a complete makeover. Only one table lamp and a small light over the oven for the entire room. A cabinet door was missing. One star ⭐️ overall is being generous. Not recommended unless you are totally desperate like we were. Only good thing about La Fonta is that you can walk to the boardwalk, this one star.

Absolutely disgusting! Filthy room. Old and outdated I can handle. But this place was so gross! Moldy shower, extremely dirty toilet, sheets were soiled and stained. Room smelled like stale smoke, mold and urine. Under bathroom sink was some sort of critter droppings. Police activity during the day while we were checking in. At check in we could see a room behind the counter with piles of dirty towels and linens on the floor. The person "cleaning" and preparing our rooms was about 16 and had no new linens. He literally just remade the bed with the same sheets from previous guest! Honestly this place is a health hazard and completely unsafe. We got out of there asap. Expedia should be ashamed to partner with this place!

It is Seaside Heights so this is a motel not a hotel. It is old as many of them are. Being this is not one of the bigger motels such as the Aztec or Colony it is defiantly old and can use some renovations. However if you need a night or two and super convenient it is fine. The room was clean. Keep in mind the motel is dated so it can look not as clean as it is because the bathrooms are old. What makes me give it an ok review is the older couple that owns the hotel. They are as nice as can be and very accommodating. If they are not in the office later in the day or at night they have their cell phone numbers and you can call them anytime. We stayed for one night at a beach tournament. If is less than two blocks from the boardwalk and right near the casino pier. You don't have to worry about parking and you have a place to shower, and get ready after the beach. It is no frills basic but doable. The AC worked well and the room did have big porcelain tile floor so it was decent. You will not confused a brand new Holiday Inn but I would stay again for a night if we did not want to drive after a team party or if we were staying late.

I’m saying terrible and giving them one star just because they don’t have an option to give them zero is the worst place that I ever been in my life when I had a guy there they didn’t even have a room that it has he or I had to wait for the guy for the front desk to go get a heater from another room And the heater didn’t work so I had to leave

Typical seaside heights crack motel

So i get there. And they tell me theres a $100 deposit that wasnt mentioned amywhere online when i booked the room. Then they tell me that theyre full and are sensing me down the atreet to the cloud 9 inn. Oh okay. Great. Still has a pool and i dont have much of a choice bc it was nonrefundable. The dude at the front desk was nice but thats about it. The room had ants, looked like it hadnt truly been cleaned/mopped it god knows how long. Bathtub had mildew and drain was clogged. The door to the room didnt shut right. Overall it was looking like the typical seqside crack motel. I have to say though, the comforter and sheets were suprisngly clean looking and smelling.
