I’m going to rate 3 stars for now because I actually haven’t stayed here yet. I will be with my son this coming week. I was just trolling and reading the reviews and was shocked to see so many complaints about extra charges. Come on people read!!!! I must say me and my son pick a different place every year when we go to try out. This is actually the only place that we have booked that doesn’t charge resort fee upfront, that’s great option for some, as for parking as well it is clearly stated when renting your room all the fees involved. Parking and resort are optional. They also have fees listed to rent grills and grilling equipment . Stop giving a place a bad review because you failed to read the fine print . As for people that book by phone maybe they should explain the extra fees but honestly are u really booking by phone without looking at the website? They have it all posted. I was happy to see we take the train and won’t pay the parking fee, also still debating about the resort fee since I like to stroll for breakfast and we may not have time to enjoy the pool because most of our visit we will be spending with family that lives in the area. I no the location. Perfect for train riders and perfectly close to center of boardwalk, also right in the center tons of food options away from the boardwalk.
Updated review!!! Check in receptionist was very nice and helpful, Other workers were friendly and would say good morning. Internet is not really great and we only got it when in the court yard. A few handles on our dresser drawer were broken off.Overall our stay was very comfortable. The beds didn’t hurt our backs in the morning .The room was more spacious than expected, the shower water preasure was much better than most. They give you soap but no shampoo or conditioner, but I always bring my own anyway.The pool is the biggest at any place we have stayed at so far In the area as well as the patio around it. The ac worked from thermostat which was very nice. The place was very clean. It’s an older place but you can still see the care they put into trying to keep it nice.

Was told their was coffee breakfast wifi ect. WiFi is super slow and goes off every 30 minutes so you have to do the passwords and splash pages. Ended up paying for my hotspot which I feel should be cooked from the bill due to not having wifi.
Their was no coffee
No breakfast
Rooms had no bugs and semi clean
All in all feels like any other drug motel
Shouldn't be compared to a good clean spot for a family. Very misleading and lied about several things to steal extra money.

Terrible experience. Went during off season and had the worst experience of our lives. Not a safe place to stay and not taken care of the way it should be. Run down and staff is not accommodating at all. Never going back

This was such a nice surprise! A classic small hotel with old-school charm. The owners were present and both they and the staff were super nice, very accommodating and helpful.
On another note, the location was a mere two blocks from the beach in one direction, and from shopping, coffee shops, and mass transit in the other.
We've never been to this beach before, but we'll definitely be back again and will stay here whenever we come back.

Door knobs don't work properly hard to get into the room. Another Elder lady complained about the door knobs hard to open the doors. being hard to get into the rooms. The door knobs are ancient and have been there since the place was built. The maintenance manager Dennis don't help you. Why give out rooms if you can't get into the room. Swimming pool isn't covered. A baby already drowned at the Amethyst Motel . A Certificate Of Occupancy needs to address this. Cover that swimming pool. I already called DYFS.Safety: Safety issue needs to be addressed!

Staff was friendly. Run down old motel and definitely not worth the price! $487 for a Saturday night?? Ridiculous for what you get! They charge you $15 per day to park! You get 1 spot!! Then they open their back lot on weekends for public to park at $40 per car! My son had to scramble every day to park and moving his car around!? Due to work schedules we could not arrive on same day! Room was old and questionable however clean. Room door did not shut all the way! Extension cord hanging from tv on the wall. Pool was dirty with sand on bottom( I get it’s by the beach) however stayed this way for 4 days! No breakfast but small muffins and coffee.Close walk to the beach is really the only good thing! I would not stay here again! I just booked for Labor Day weekend at another nicer upgraded Point Pleasant Motel that is just as close to the beach for cheaper price double room and does not charge you for parking! Search around for better to enjoy your Point Pleasant stay!

My family and I visited over the long holiday weekend and we had a BLAST!!!Theresa the General Manger was WONDERFUL!!! She really made us feel welcomed! The owner of this property is extremely lucky to have such a professional, dedicated, loyal team!!I cannot say enough about Luz the Director of Housekeeping; she was AMAZING!! She really went above and beyond to ensure that we had a comfortable stay and enough towels since the pool was a HUGH hit with the kids!Thank you Theresa, Luz and team for such an AMAZING Memory Making Moment for me and my family ❤️.See ya next year!

Charming authentic clean Motel two blocks from the boardwalk with helpful staff. Comfortable beds and remodeled bathrooms. The clean pool (9 feet deep at the diving end) is at the center of the courtyard where the friendly patrons gather. Plenty of restaurants deliver breakfast lunch or dinner for great poolside dining, or short walk to the pier or into town for more good food.Walkability: Short walk to the boardwalk and to the cute downtownWi-fi: The Wi-Fi is super secure but did prevent me from using VPN into my work computer.

Overpriced DUMP. $400 a night during weeknight in July. very expensive. Very dirty. Mold on ceiling from leak that never fixed. Cigarette stains on ceilings. Crud on bed frames. Very broken down. Plugs ten feet high up wall. No microwave that I paid for. Only one chair at dinette. Bathroom in lobby broken. Door to room had huge gap in it. No lock on bathroom door. Bathroom dingy & filthy. Could hear other guests in your room. It was an absolute S - - t hole! Stairs to 2nd floor concrete all cracked & you could see to bottom of 1st floor. Promised continental breakfast. None. Had gross coffee and 1/4 stale muffin they served. Ladies that worked there nice!! Guy was irritable & rude. Talking to him he’d get irritated. I’d give zero stars if I could. It was a huge waste of money. What a terrible place. It should be shut down.

My husband and stepdaughter checked in yesterday Friday and was charge a total of $350. After they came back from shopping and dining, the bedsheets were found with several stains and quite disgusting to sleep in. At the room prices, they can buy cheap sheets. The room had musty smell and overall not pleasant to stay. My husband went to the office around 9pm and was told that if he was leaving to drop the keys. They were forced to drive back home right after. My husband called the office in the morning to complain about the room and tried to get a partial refund. The owner hanged up on my husband. Will file a complaint with state office and attorney general. This is unacceptable.

Stop being such YUPPIES! The place is called a motel for a reason. Half these reviewers must think they are checking in at a Marriot or something. Here's what to expect as I've stayed here 3 times before and I'm coming back this coming week. CHEAP Rooms in close distance to the beach, Great pool! Also expect rooms to feel old and a little cheap and maybe a sheet or two isn't as clean as it should be, maybe your room isn't as clean as it should be.... ok princess maybe next time pay more and go to a place that doesn't have motel in the name. This is a blue-collar motel from the staff to the people who visit. If you go with that mindset I don't see how you can get offended by this place.

If you close your eyes and envision a classic, jersey shore hotel, this place fits the bill. It’s like stepping back in time to the 1960s-70s, which is great if that’s what you’re looking for. The sinks don’t drain so well, that kind of thing. But two blocks from the beach, I’m not sure what else you’re going to find that’s much better.
