I have stayed at each motel in Seaside Park and this past September my cousin booked the Dessert Palm. The "Tiki Bar" appealed to her. Well.... Upon entering the room and looking in the bathroom there was long hairs in the shower, sink and on the floor. I'm guessing this bathroom wasn't cleaned at all. This prompted me to shift... More

I stayed here for two nights in August and was very pleased. The motel was very clean and the owner very helpful. It is not easy to find a decent hotel on the Jersey Shore and the prices are very high. This motel was reasonable and right across from the beach......and at the end of the Seaside Heights boardwalk. We... More

Reasonable rates, very friendly staff, across the street from beach, 2 beach passes included, clean room, balcony (shared) has table & chairs for each room facing ocean, nice warm pool w/ lounge chairs (bring your own beach towels), and after checkout, you can use the amenities for the day. Everything we hoped for! Will definitely be back.

First off, we weren't going to stay here. My dad made reservations at the wrong hotel but that's another story. Where to start… the main door let light and a breeze through, door did not fit door frame. The shower was small and there was hair in it! I was the first one to take a shower! Same with the... More

I want to start of by saying this motel saved our vacation. We were staying at another hotel in seaside heights and it was filthy behind belief. We came to the owner at around 10:30 Sunday night asking if they had any 2 or 3 room apartments available, he did but would not be ready until the next day. We... More

When I look for a hotel in the seaside heights area, cleanliness is at the top of my list. This hotel was all in all pretty clean. Clean sheets, bathroom, towels, and floors. The furniture was very mismatched and out dated, but served its purpose. Also, the front desk man was very pleasant. We asked to change from 2 nights... More

Stayed here for a family trip and boy was I disappointed! Filthy bathroom, tiny shower, caulk and paint were peeling all over the walls, found food between the mattress and the box spring, door was so ill-fitting that we could see light and feel a breeze blow in the room, hairs were on the "clean towels," banged up furniture, huge...

We've been taking short trips to Seaside for years, and have finally found a perfect spot! You have the advantage of cleaner and quieter beaches in Seaside Park, while only being a block away from the boardwalk. The rooms were nice and clean, and the heated pool was awesome. The owner was also very nice. We will definitely return!
