Our view was exactly what we wanted! We had a King Oceanfront room. The room was old and kind of funky. There was no room phone so there was no wake up call. The room was ancient, but it was clean. The hotel is OLD. There were a LOT of stairs. My husband is handicapped, so I wish I had... More

My husband and I stayed with our infant son the weekend after labor day. We had such a fantastic time. The motel was beautiful, very well maintained and clean. The staff was also very friendly. We stayed in the ocean front king room and while it was small, fit our family well. We had a small deck outside our room... More

We rented 2 rooms over Labor Day weekend. We were hesitant to book a room in Point Pleasant because we knew the prices would be high for a holiday weekend. We were also worried about what the weather might be. It turned out to be perfect weather for the duration of our stay and just a little overcast/windy upon checking... More

Stayed 3 nights 8/26 - 8/28. Loved the patio for breakfast, lunch, and even a moonlight cocktail. Its like a "little resort". You only have to leave to eat dinner. Walked to the boardwalk and restaurants. Rooms very clean, easy access to beach. Everyone, guests and employees, were very friendly. Definitely would return.

Just spent 2 nights at the shore, at the Driftwood, and it was a great stay. It is family friendly, clean, with a private beach and a great pool area. This is the second summer for a couple of nights there, and we'll be back next year.

We just returned from our 4 day/3 night stay at the Driftwood and we had a great time. My hubby went here every year as a kid with his family and loved it so i figured we'd give it a try. It was perfect for me, my hubby and our 2 year old little girl, she had a blast (as... More

I am heading down to the Driftwood in 2 days for the 9th or 10th time with my extended family. We keep coming back for the private beach and pool, the great family atmosphere and the close proximity to the Boardwalk. Many of the negative comments in these reviews have some validity (outdated rooms, musty odor at times, insufficient electrical... More

We were there last summer as a family and just spent our 30th wedding aniversary there. We had the ocean view king room. It was clean and comfortable. We are going back next month for our family vacation. The snack bar is great for breakfast and lunch. Pool and grounds are kept clean. Great quiet beach right out your door.... More

We have been going to this place for years but this is the final and last time we will go there. The place is run down and nothing has changed through the years. The sister runs the hotel and walks around smoking cigarettes all day, sitting at the pool with you wtih one black, one blue sock and no shoes... More
