I had an absolutely delightful stay at this charming hotel! From the moment I arrived, the front desk staff was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. The warm and inviting ambiance of the place immediately put me at ease.The highlight for me was the lovely porch, where I could unwind with a cup of coffee on weekends while soaking in the serene surroundings. Speaking of coffee, the breakfast spread was simply delicious, and it made for a perfect start to my days.Location-wise, it's a mere block away from the beach, making it incredibly convenient for a leisurely stroll or a day by the ocean. And when it was time to retire to my room, I found it to be well-appointed, comfortable, and impeccably clean.All in all, this hotel offers a wonderful blend of hospitality, amenities, and a great location. I can't wait to return for another relaxing get away!

I booked this place thru AirB&B and what a disappointment experience. I booked the place for a couple friend of mine to get away for a weekend near the beach. It was shocking to see the pictures from the website and the real accomodations. My friend didn’t want me to know until he came back from his getaway. He showed me the pictures of the place compare to the actual place. I was thinking what deceiving pictures on AirB&B. Also, the listing stated free breakfast on the weekends. Breakfast was non-existing. The actual room looked is disarray and none taken care of. The person present thru the weekend didn’t know anything about breakfast and stated the price to rent in the weekend was lower than what we actually booked for.The order of the beds inside the room was so lousy place that you have to almost jump over to go to the bathroom. The cabinet of the sink had burns from cigarettes or candles. Very poorly kept property. When I place the complaint the owner of the property didn’t want to refund any money of the highly cost of the rental. However, AirB&B came thru and I gotMoney back from this Hortensia experience I put My best friend and his wife.I gave lower score to this property because being a member of AirB&B I have never encounter any experience like this even though I have been renting properties throughout the US and abroad and never encounter such a deceiving place like this.

Bathrooms weren’t as clean as I would have preferred. But this place made up for it with kind and knowledgeable staff who I enjoyed chit chatting with and had wonderful recommendations for us. The sheets with pockets were perfect for not loosing personals or the remote.

This is a no frills inn which I think keeps the price down. If you're here in the summer, you won't be spending that much time in the room anyway . It's decent and a very good value. I'll definitely come back.Nearby activities: The beach is 1 block away

Unfortunately, I did not get to stay at Belmar Inn and never will. The lack of professionalism and poor customer service manifested based in how they handled a mistaken booking. Long story short, my family member booked the Belmar Inn (non refundable) through a third-party site for Labor Day weekend a few weeks ago, inadvertently mixing up the beach town we were staying in. Upon realizing the mistake, I called within 4 hours to cancel the reservation with full explanation of the error and plenty of time for the hotel to rebook. Upon multiple calls to the hotel that night and the next morning and third-pary site, I was told by the hotel 2x that they would look into it, Manger was handling it, and call the third-party site. The site advised it was at the discretion of the hotel and sent over a formal request to them. I called the hotel to confirm that they review the official request and was hastily advised, yes "someone will call you back." That call never came, my reservation was not cancelled and I was charged the full amount. I am beyond dissapointed with the hotel's lack of flexibility and professionalism. It's a shame too as I go to Belmar in the simmer often. I do not recommend this hotel.

This hotel is disgusting. It is filthy and definitely unsafe; staircases are a serious safety concern. The front desk staff appear to be in full addiction. They charged me an additional $125 for cat hair left on a blanket (must have transferred from my daughters blanket she brought in from home). My daughter woke up with a large insect bite so we left first thing in morning. Management will not return my multiple calls made to them. Also they have families with young children living on the property and playing outside out front all day long.

The room was very clean for starters. They also let us check in around 11pm, which was very good hospitality . However, the room was dink for 250$/night. The window unit AC didn't do very much to keep the room cold. And I was also kind of shocked that the room only had 1 bed instead of two. The hotel overall was just good enough for the weekend, but we also had to park super far away since there is no parking and the street parking was packed.Rooms: My room had 1 bed - so if you book a room for two please be cautious of this.Walkability: Literally right next to the beach / boardwalk. Really great location.Noteworthy details: The hotel was very clean and the service was helpful by being open so late.

A fine “cheap“ beach hotel. A little rough around the edges, as you should expect, but clean, cared for, and a fantastic location — beach is half a block away and shops / restaurants are just a 15 minute walk. On street parking was easy on an August weekday.Staff was friendly and helpful—let us check in a little early.Our room was recently renovated. It’s a bit small, without a closet and the bathroom is rather tight — no place to lay out your toiletries.Window AC unit, mini-fridge, TV, dresser, table, 1 desk chair and 1 night stand. Bed set is a bit shaky, but new and with a fresh blanket.

Just spent 4 week nights here on a family vacation.The location is great half a block to the beach.The staff is very friendly and helpful i even seen one of the owners personally carry a big cooler up the stairs for a mom and daughter.Nice furnished porch to hang out on and a table to eat at. (Quiet and peaceful during the week but the surrounding area seems like it gets wild on weekends)This is a historic building so its a bit tired but is kept very clean.The rooms are small and the layout of the rooms is not great, not many places to put things for staying more than a day or 2, and the amount of outlets leaves much to be desired thankfully i brought my own powerstrip.The matresses may be older than the building itself and could (and should) definitely be replaced.Overall it was a great place to stay and i would recommend it if you're on a budget and just looking for somewhere to shower and rest in between beach days.Rooms: Small, old, not enough storage space (shelves tables etc.), not enough outlets. Old mattresses. Very clean. Keep in mind the building is very old and they do seem to be renovating.Walkability: Beach is a 4 minute walkRestaurants, bars, an arcade, can all be reached on foot within 20 minutes or less.

The rooms are very outdated and it has 3 floors with no elevator. The staircase is very narrow and it borders on being a crack house. Every night ppl sit on the porch and get high without any regard of other guests . But the location is great for the beach

Just stayed here for my besr friend's Bachelorette weekend. First off, CJ was SO accommodating. He did his best to arrange a lower floor for us when he noticed the mountain of luggage we collectively brought (we were 3rd floor, no elevator) Unfortunately there weren't any lower floor rooms available so he carried half of our luggage himself up the 3 flights to assist us. The staff was fantastic, we could not have asked for a better location (half a block walk to the beach!), and the room was clean and perfect for our needs. Thank you, CJ!

I was placed on the 3rd floor and my rooms keys didnt work on 6 separate occasions. So i had to go up and down the staircase 12 different times because they dont have an elevator. As I was trying to get into the room a hotel employee tells me I have to leave because I was being too loud ….in my room….. a room i couldnt get in…which makes zero sense. he then escorted me to the front desk and tells me all my belongings have to stay in the room and i that i have to stay “in the streets”. As i was talking to the guy at the front desk the employee who escorted me was staring me down like he wanted to fight me. we then got into a tussle and words were exchanged. the cops had to be called. they ended up letting me stay the night… but i left and as i was waiting for my uber the employee came outside and harassed me for another 10 minutes while i stood there and said nothing… i called up the next day for a refund and the lady was super rude and hung up on me saying she had no idea what happened last night. no apology / no care / no customer service. worst hotel experience i have ever had. dont stay here

My bridesmaids took me here this past weekend for my bachelorette weekend. CJ was the BEST!! Super helpful with suggesting ideas of things to do as well as assisting us with our luggage to the third floor. The hotel is in a great location, just half a block from the beach. Thank you CJ for all of your help over the weekend. :)
