Guest Reviews

• Gary (8/5): -
• Tricia (10/5): -
• Amanda (7/5): Great place, affordable and great location! - Property was in the perfect spot by the boardwalk and beach entrance, parking was right by our door, the front desk people were super nice and very informational. They told us no visitors but allowed my boyfriend to come in for a little to hang out as long as he didn’t spend the night. They give you beach passes for however long you are there until. We didn’t use the pool but they do have one. The rooms are outdated but you don’t need anything crazy just somewhere to sleep and have a bathroom. I will definitely use this place again. They also give you the security deposit back in cash. The bathroom was a little tight squeeze but again nothing crazy.
• Grieco (8/5): - Good location, friendly staff Ac wasn't working, loud neighbors upstairs
• Faith (10/5): -
• Nichole (6/5): Decent price and distance from boardwalk - Close to the boardwalk. Parking passes to park on street. Decent price for a room. Air conditioner is very cold. Check in person was very nice. Bathroom was very small. Shower curtain was moldy but to be expected. Sheets had light stains on them but seems to be just stains. Hair on pillows to unfortunately. For the price I really could complain.
• Michael (10/5): -
• Ezra (7/5): -
• Kerry (8/5): -
• LUCIA (2/5): - This hotel needs a complete makeover. The floors were filthy. The bathroom was filthy and small. The bed covers were old and smelly. I left early and would not reimburse me my money for one night. they either need to shut this hotel down or seriously update everything.
• daniel (5/5): -
• Sherl (10/5): - 2nd time I stayed here. Very accessible to beach, boardwalk & places to eat. Quiet and clean rooms.
• Hartmut (6/5): Typisches Motel - Sehr freundlich war der Besitzer, der uns bei der Suche nach einem noch offenen Restaurant und einem Platz zum Frühstücken behilflich war. Im Sommer ist auch die Nähe zum Strand sicherlich erfreulich. Wenn man mit der richtigen Einstellung anreist, Franklin ist ein Motel und kein Hotel, so gibt es eigentlich keine großen Beanstandungen. Dann kann man auch über die etwas karge Ausstattung des Bades hinwegsehen.
• Vincent (10/5): - Attended an event in the area. Property was clean, room was clean, a/c worked well. Right next to the boardwalk. Had no issues.
• Wendy (7/5): - The staff was very accommodating. Room was clean and nice little kitchenette. Bathroom ways too small. Shower ok.
• Luis (10/5): - Nice lady in front very nice
• Philip (8/5): - Staff was very helpful with everything. Nice clean room. Pool is small but enjoyable. Would definitely come back again. Thank you Franklin terrace motel
• Thomas (7/5): Very nice people, makes up for any inadequacies. -
• renee (6/5): - bathroom is terribly small and moldy .location is convenient , it’s a close walk to the boardwalk .hotel itself is small with few rooms.
• Angela (8/5): - Walkable and convenient around the boardwalk
• Benjamin (10/5): - The staff was extremely friendly, the motel was in the perfect location, and the pool was a nice feature as well. Could not have asked for a better stay!
• Frank Melhus (9/5): Great stay - Great location and friendly staff.
• Pierre (9/5): -
• joanne (8/5): Easy to get to the beach - Close to the beach, helpful staff Small shower
• FRANCISCO (10/5): - Really friendly staff & Real close to the boardwalk.
• melissa (8/5): Simple room for a good price and very close to the boardwalk - Staff was very nice. Room was clean. Provided parking pass and beach pass in room stay Size of bathroom
• Louis (7/5): -
• Mohamed (9/5): Superb -
• Elizabeth (10/5): - Love the owners and the location.
• Alexandra (6/5): - It was cleaner than some of the other places we stayed at. I liked that it had a small kitchen area, fridge and microwave and is close to the beach. The room was very small and outdated, clean but not emaculate. The beds were ok, I've slept on worse. I would consider staying again.
• Maryann (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was wonderful, very accommodating from arrival to leaving ! We will be back and will recommend this hotel to friends and family for future reference 👍😊 Couldn't park in the hotel lot, that our only worry ( new car) !
• Carol (6/5): - The property was okay. Staff were very nice. The place was clean. Beds were ok. The bathroom was a REALLY tight fit. The small pool was clean and nice. Definitely not worth $325 a night but it’s Seaside in the height of summer. Better than most Seaside dumps.
• AHMED (2/5): So Poor Customer Service. - Not so good. No room service offered. No daily towels offered for either for the room service nor the beach. Using the Pandemic as a reason for no longer service been provided on daily basis. They asking half of the money in credit to reserve the room, the rest of the money in cash on your first day of arrival.
• Melissa (2/5): - I traveled with my best friend. We are both women we stayed at the hotel and we were watched the whole time by one of the staff members. He knew what time we got there who we had to visit which were relatives what time they left and then harassed us said if we had any more company he would charge us. We are not allowed to bring anybody into our room or on the premises. They have cameras all around at every door, which is great but really weirded us out after the fact that he was watching us and listening to everything we said watching what we did it was very scary. They are doing construction on the building next-door so all you heard I’m six in the morning till six at night Was banging in loud construction noises and my car had roofing nails all over the top of it. I have scratches on my car now and a nail in my tire when I showed the hotel attendant they didn’t do anything about it. She did take pictures. She was very nice And I’m sure she didn’t know what to do, but it was a very big disappointment.
• Albamaria (10/5): - The room was comfortable and so clean. Really enjoyed my stay and will be back and recommend to friends and family
• Susan (8/5): - When I first pulled up, I was a little concerned because it appeared to be very small and tucked in. The room was small, but as my daughter noted, it was probably the cleanest place in Seaside. Zero mold smell the air conditioner was cranking. The sheets were immaculate and soft. The bathroom was tiny but immaculate. I will suggest bringing your own shampoo, conditioner, and soap three packets were provided, but very small. The furniture was definitely dated and well worn but clean there was a refrigerator stove, top and microwave. The pool is around back through a narrow walkway, but again was very clean. There were plenty of chairs and floats and also a barbecue with picnic tables.
• Radoslaw (8/5): - Totally OK. Would return
• Joseph (6/5): Pleasant - The Family That Run Motel are The Kindest and Nicest People 🙂
• Fran (8/5): Vacation 2025 - the owners were very nice, It would of been nice to have someone sweep change towels daily. Shower curtains were gross need to be washed after each stay, bottom of shower curtains were black. Room 15 think it would be good for them to put up a shower head outside, at the path leading to pool. People were wearing their sandal's into pool just to Rince sand off them self. Also telling their kids to wash sand off. Gross people. Other than that, stay was nice, owners very accommodating, walking distance to boardwalk, beach, restaurants etc.
• Theresa (10/5): - Very friendly staff. We stayed in the room with 3 beds. Very small bathroom. Beds were comfortable. Close to boardwalk. Pool was relaxing.
• Daniel (10/5): - .
• Christy (10/5): - i love this place! it’s quiet and clean and the owners are there if you need anything
• Carlina (10/5): Accesible to the beach and staff was excellent. Very well run establishment. - The proximity to the boardwalk and the beach I have no complaints
• Pasquale (4/5): - Close to boardwalk,
• Verified traveler (8/5): Ok for a quick last min overnight - Staff are friendly. Room smelled clean but the floors were not mopped and the sheets on the bed did not look clean when we arrived. We booked last minute. So with that said, overall it was an ok place.
• maureen (8/5): Close to beach - Clean hotel. A bit outdated but close to boardwalk and beach. Very small bathroom. Staff was friendly and easy check in and out. Beach passes included.
• Joleen (7/5): Good - Close to the boardwalk and beach
• Elizabeth (10/5): - No frills very clean motel. Family run and very accommodating. We walked in to a nice cold room. The bathroom is small , but does the job. Nice clean motel to stay in by the beach. We would stay again.
• Noemi (8/5): - Nice and very clean. Bathroom was a bit small
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional - Bed was comfortable, the staff was friendly, very helpful, it was really a very good experience I think they should update the pics they have on booking because it doesn't do justice to the business, I wasn't sure by looking at the pics but once I got there it felt very comfortable and relaxing...
• Tamara (10/5): - As motels go, this place is very well run. The beds are comfortable, the sheets are soft and the rooms are clean. The owners are very friendly while keeping the Memorial Day madness at bay. We will definitely be back. Thank you!
• Javen (10/5): - Stayed at the hotel for a few nights with friends and it was great. The location was ideal, parking was easy, the room was good and the hotel operator was very accomodating. I highly recommend it if you are staying in the area.
• Shamun (10/5): An honest review - Good staff, clean room, safe location, close to boardwalk.
• Timothy (8/5): Close and "good enough" - We arrived in the middle of the night for an event around the corner the next day. The attendant was professional and didn't seem to mind being woken up at 1:30 a.m. We didn't expect much. The room was fine. It was clean and serviceable. The bathroom is small. The beds were dated. However, everything was "good enough." The room did not distract us from our purpose, which is all we asked.
• Danette (8/5): Very good -
• Glen (8/5): Pleasant and old fashioned - I’ve stayed here three times and I enjoyed myself. The location is simply awesome. The motel is low key and old fashioned. No problems.
• Glen (8/5): Simple, decent, pleasant - It’s very pleasant and simple. The location is 1/2 block from the boardwalk and Lucky Leo’s. I have stayed here multiple times and I enjoyed myself. The room was very clean and spacious. The people running it are positive and friendly. The price is right. I prefer a drive up motel like this so I can keep an eye on my car. I really can’t say anything bad. It’s just a simple old style motel and it’s a nice place to stay for a little beach town getaway.
• Sandra (8/5): - Nice room
• Erika (6/5): - It is Seaside Heights. The gentleman in the front was very nice. We went from Point Beach to here and what a culture shock. The floor had a stickiness to it. I should have read the reviews better. It was an experience. It was probably as clean as they could get it.
• Elizabeth (10/5): - Staff is extremely nice and helpful
• Judson (5/5): Passable -
• Margaret (8/5): - Only stayed one night. Was convenient.
• Desiree (5/5): Passable -
• Marion (9/5): Superb - Close to the Boardwalk. Friendly staff. Love having a tub. Long time for water to get hot.
• Matt (9/5): Superb -
• Lomax (5/5): decent - location very close to the ocean/jersey shore hot water was very inconsistant.
• Ana (5/5): Passable - The staff. The noises from other rooms+ the street also.
• Joleen (10/5): Great for a overnight trip - Clean and close to the boardwalk Bed was a little uncomfortable
• Danielle (9/5): Great little place! - Staff and location are fantastic!!! Room was small, but had everything we needed without feeling too cramped. A/c worked pretty well. Pool is nice, shower great, tv worked great too. Also, it is one of the only places in seaside that doesn't smell like skunk weed. Would stay again! Parking is really bad, but staff knows it and gives you a parking pass so you can park for free on the street. Price was a little high for end of season.
• Michaley (1/5): Don’t go here, manager is rude and very strict - Manager or owner was very rude and treated us like a child
• Reina (1/5): The towels are dirty as if someone used them, they just folded them so they looked freshly washed, the bed linen also ha -
• Jeremy (6/5): - Perfect for A weekend stay. Quiet, buy is in need of interior updates.
• Anthony (8/5): - quick walk to the boardwalk!
• Ally (10/5): Exceptional -
• Karen (2/5): - IT WAS DIRTY THE SHOWER BACKED UP
• Kelly (4/5): Location was nice but property was very disappointing. - The proximity to the beach/boardwalk was great. Owners were very friendly. Our room was not very clean at all & could really use some updates. Shower & shower curtain were moldy, there was still garbage on the floor from the previous stay. The place could REALLY use a good deep clean. The couch was so stained I didn’t even want to put my bag on it let alone sit on it myself.
• Dorene (8/5): - Great location about 250 feet from the ocean and boardwalk owner was very friendly plan on staying again
• Matthew (5/5): Passable - the location was very good room needs to be updated. bathroom sink and shower entirely to small
• Suet Leung (8/5): - Everything good. 2 min Walk to the boardwalk.
• Laura (1/5): Room was dirty (beds had dirt and hair, bathroom towels had prints from prior occupants). - The location was perfect. The room was musty, beds were dirty (particles in both beds, hair in beds), comforter felt sticky, bathroom was dirty (towels had previous occupants handprints) , toilet felt as if it was not properly secured. Couch had multiple stains and rips. Management was rude. Front office lady was willing to switch rooms however manager said absolutely not. Upon arrival to motel we had only dropped off our bags. When we returned to the room after a day on the boardwalk we noticed how dirty the beds/bathroom were and manager stated that was “just an excuse”. Did not stay the overnight. Management did not offer any accommodation or compensation.
• WILLIAM (10/5): - Great place for kids and family
• Julie (6/5): - This was a nice, convenient shore hotel. It’s bare bones- no coffee maker, blow dryer or ice machine, but has a microwave and mini fridge. Owners are very nice and cooperative It has a little pool that was clean. I recommend it.
• Brittany (4/5): Disappointing - They charged me extra after I left because the sheets were dirty. They also charged my mother (she's stayed in a different room) for the same thing.
• Gerald (10/5): Exceptional -
• Amyjo (2/5): - Staff was very nice, close to beach. BUT property was dirty, the dust on the curtains, ceiling vents and ac unit looked like it was there for years, black mold in the shower, and the bathroom was barely big enough for 1 person to fit. Only 2 outlets in the entire room. NOT in any way close to the description or photos on Expedia , very unhappy
• Carolyn (8/5): Good, low cost stay - Location just blocks from the boardwalk is excellent! The owners were friendly, efficient and very helpful. The room was clean. The room and bathroom were much smaller than I could tell by the pictures on-line but having three beds to spread out on was great and the room size was just fine for our one night stay. I could not tell by the photos, but there was a small 2-burner stove between the sink and mini fridge. No kitchen supplies at all are available so bring along what you will need for cooking. The pool was small but clean and our family enjoyed swimming after the beach. All-in-all it was a good, economical stay.
• Denise (8/5): I would absolutely stay here again - Super friendly staff. We were majorly late checking in due to weather, traffic, and a fender bender. They kept the pool open later for us just out of courtesy, we didn't even have to ask. Room was very clean (and I'm super picky, I don't mess around. I inspect everything). Comfortable bed, and chairs, air conditioner was already running for us when we walked in. Couldn't beat the location, literally a block from the boardwalk. I would recommend this place to a friend without hesitation. I had to ask for bath towels, there were none. But again- we were so late, they weren't even sure we were still coming so I'm certainly not holding that against them. It wasn't a big deal.
• Ian (6/5): Room Switch and Upcharge - Staff were friendly. They failed to charge my card and original room was unavailable despite calling me. Offered a second room at a discount however, was not budgeting for the extra cost and cannot exactly turn it down after a long hot drive from Canada. Owner claimed I was called ahead of time, however they called me previously no problem and have correct number on form. When I mentioned this they had conversation in a different language in front of me, which is quite suspect. Overall, not a bad stay, typical Seaside Motel but be prepared for shenanigans and possible upselling.
• Mario (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kevin (6/5): Pleasant -
• Ian (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bklyn (10/5): - Not sure why people complaint about this motel. For the price I think is was great. Two blocks from the beach. Not bad at all. Staff were very friendly, I would stay here again.
• christy (8/5): - It was very close to the boardwalk! The owners cery very attentive & helpful!
• Virginia (8/5): - Property is not updated. Property next door very run down. Street looks like the developers are waiting. Already did have parking right in front of the room. Checking was friendly and efficient
• hossam (2/5): - Room smells bad, poor vandalism system, sheets very dirty.
• Mariah (10/5): Exceptional - Great stay, clean, very kind staff.
• Maura (9/5): Superb -
• Debra (6/5): Pleasant - Room was not very clean, floor was dirty. Had to ask for fresh towels, they don’t come in the room daily to take used towels and provide clean towels.
• Bruce (10/5): - The property owners were incredibly hospitable and very helpful.
• Christina (10/5): Would stay again! - It was perfect, as I was not expecting glamor. I was just looking for a safe, clean and close place to boardwalk. All of these were spot on. Bathroom a little small but I would stay again. Owners wonderful and friendly.
