Guest Reviews

• Leo (6/5): - Location is good. But I wouldn't come back.
• Jenna (10/5): - Great staff, easy check in/check out, very clean and secure. They park your car in their lot. Best place for location across from boardwalk and beach if you are just needing somewhere to shower and sleep. There’s even a little food shack downstairs on the corner with great food.
• Evelyn luz (10/5): - Exce
• Dean (10/5): - Super clean, nice and cold room, easily walkable from the boardwalk and beaches, plus the staff was very nice. I wish beach tags were included but the free parking was worth it!
• Brandon (10/5): - Great location!! Newly renovated. Very clean. Across from boardwalk. Wil definitely return! A+++
• Caleb (10/5): - Good
• Judd (10/5): - We had a nice stay here. The owner (I’m assuming) was pleasant and made check in easy. The place is well maintained and kept very clean. If we’re ever back in town we’ll book again.
• William (6/5): - Very expensive and no amenities. It’s just a bed and shower type of place.
• Robert (10/5): - Everything was great service room no complaints
• Shannon (6/5): - Good place to stay for the area. Bed was uncomfortable and the AC was loud.
• Angela (10/5): - Very clean and staff was polite
• Jasmine (10/5): - It was a beautiful and nice place. Very clean and organized. The owners were kind and helpful.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Budget friendly, not boujie friendly - Pros: Perfect location! In the middle of the boardwalk so you didn’t have to walk from one end to the other. Just cross the road and you’re on the boardwalk. Comfortable beds. Decently priced. Cons: The “renovated” rooms are just some do it yourself projects. Nightstand used to have drawers but they layed (not glued or nailed down) pieces of wood (think white board or paneling) as a shelf. It fell apart. White contact paper covering the top and added a layer of paint on top of that at some point. There were black metal things attached loosely to the corners that they painted around. The only table is a folding one that was dirty when we got it out. Carpet was sticky like they used a carpet cleaner and brought all the dirt to the surface. Had to wear socks or sandals while in the room. Air conditioner was loud! I noticed the filter sticking out a bit so when I put it back in place it quieted the rattle but it was still loud. Couldn’t watch tv much because the channels were limited. Shower the size of, if not smaller than, a cruise ship shower. I had 2 large stains on my comforter. Toilet paper was thin one ply. Towels were small and scratchy. Could be great if the owners put some care and pride into it. Hotels.com had old photos so I ruled it out until I looked online and saw newer pics and that they renovated. It was a halfa$ed attempt at a reno, but it had me fooled.

• Thomas Hartman (10/5): - Just stayed at the Buoy16 only for one night. We have never been to Seaside heights as this was our first time in the area. We were very pleased with our stay at the Buoy. The room and bathrooms were exceptionally clean, decent size for the good price. Very close to the boardwalk and beach access. Literally 1/4 block. It was not too noisy at night either. The owner was very nice and explained everything in detail and showed us where to park. Everything is in walking distance- beach, restaurants and entertainment. Would definitely recommend, and would come back here to stay again. Very clean. You can tell they cared about the property.

• Tammie (8/5): - The property was very clean. It is a block from the Boardwalk. There is a great miniature golf, go kart, and water park right across the street. The only negatives were that there were no hand towels and there was no hot water by the time the third person in our room took their shower.
• William (8/5): - The location was great only a short walk to the boardwalk. The room was nice and clean my only complaint would be the beds were pretty uncomfortable. The owner was very nice and helpful and it was very quiet.
• Richard (10/5): - These guys were very attentive and always asking what they could do for us. The room was clean and very close to everything (right out the front door
• James (10/5): - Stayed for 2 nights, place was clean and the location perfect.
• Stephanie (10/5): Great place and service!! - Amazing place to stay! They are right in the center of everything! This is my 2nd trip to the motel!
• Laureen (10/5): - It’s in a prime location!
• Carmen (8/5): - The room was clean
• Nataley (2/5): - The owner is very rude, it’s an absolutely nightmare to park there. If you want to use your car in and out of what they call their parking lot, good luck. Might as well Uber. Room was so hot even though we called well in advanced and said what time we would be there. No courtesy to put the air on. Never will go back
• Gerard J (10/5): - The hotel was clean and updated and the owner was extremely helpful. Its close to the boardwalk and waterpark but wasnt loud. Would stay here again.
• Derelle (6/5): - The location was great. The room wasn't bad just the beds are very hard and no Wifi service that also sucked. I wouldn't stay again.
• Joseph (8/5): - Great location
• Bryan (10/5): - Newly renovated rooms were very nicely done and the property was clean and well maintained. Private parking was a plus, though limited to only a single car per room/
• Mohammad (10/5): - I like the room, location and reception.
• Tammy (10/5): - Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Only thing that could have been better would be a coffee maker in the room. We're early risers and there were no coffee shops open. Other than that everything was perfect. Staff was extremely accommodating. Would definitely book there again.
• janet (10/5): - The motel was one block from boardwalk & beach- can't beat that. Room was VERY clean. Some furniture was older but really not a problem. Bathroom was updated and spacious. I found owners to be super nice and easy to work with.
• James G. (10/5): - The center of where I want to be near the boardwalk.
• Verified traveler (2/5): Never staying here again! - Location is ideal for people wanting to enjoy the beach and boardwalk. When you check in you have to sign off on a ridiculously huge list of rules that the owner wants you to abide by. Pray that you get one of the parking spots close to the street so you don’t get trapped by the other guests staying there. Bed was uncomfortable it was on a metal frame that did not support it well. Shower curtain was old and moldy.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - This Motel was awesome. It was literally right next to the board walk which was very convenient and allowed us to be able to use our own bathroom if we were on the board walk , or run back into our room quick to drop things off or change. The owner was incredibly nice and gave us an option for an upstairs room or downstairs and showed us both. We chose downstairs to be able to just walk out the door and walk right to the boardwalk. When your at the shore , your never really in the room so for a place to sleep, change and park our car, we were more than satisfied!!! I would DEF recommend this place to others for its perfect location and friendly staff!
• Rudy (2/5): - Dirty noisy unsafe sketchy area
• Verified traveler (4/5): - It was ok for the location, close to shops right on the boardwalk. Just needs a coffee pot in the room and the bedding should be updated.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great stay, great location!
• Verified traveler (8/5): - I like that it's literally across the street from the boardwalk and beach, best location.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - I loved everything. It was small and quiet even though it was so close to the boardwalk and rides. We never had to use our car. Everything was walking distance. The staff was amazing! So friendly and courteous. The place was spotless and smelled so clean and nice. There was nothing I would have changed.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - location was great, steps away from the boardwalk. parking was a little difficult but the owner helped me park and was so kind! room was nice & clean. definitely will go back!
• Alex (10/5): - Its a nice clean motel with assigned off street parking the owners/managers are friendly and helpful. The only downside is the parking lot is very small and cramped.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Very close to boardwalk, across the street from waterpark, go-karts, and mini golf course. The first level has an awesome ice cream place built into it.
• Ana (4/5): Very disappointed. - For the money we paid per night we expected better quality room. Mix matched sheets, it smelled like you soaked the carpet in Fabuloso floor cleaner. Old mixed matched towels. We paid $315 for Sunday and Monday nights definitely expected better rooms. Old furniture, horrible mattress and old mixed matched sheets dirty and very old pillows. Was very disappointed. If it wasn’t that it stated no refund we would have left the moment we walked into the room. I definitely will not be going back to this place.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The owner of the motel was a friendly and nice person,the place was clean and neat.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - We were welcome by the manager in a very friendly manner. The room was clean and spacious and there were many cartoon channels for my son to watch. Extremely accessible to the boardwalk. I would recommend this place to anyone and I'd definitely stay there again in the future.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - It is right at casino pier. Only thing closer would be camping on the boardwalk itself. It has all the 1 star hotel amenities. I would book again.
• Jacquie (6/5): - The staff was friendly. For the price and location (right by the boardwalk) the price was right. It was clean. It is outdated and tge beds are very uncomfortable. The shower was super small and took a good 5-7 minutes to heat up.
• Daniel (10/5): All is good - Had stayed here many times in the past. Still the same place with some needed updates. All in all, this is still a nice place to stay
• Yube (10/5): - Staff was friendly ,room was very clean and it was right on the boardwalk.
• Alex (8/5): - Unfortunately no ice machine however the location really makes up for the small amenities this motel lacks. Theres no pool but the beach is a few hundred feet away and your literally right in the middle of the boardwalk. Would stay again. Beach is about 8$ daily.
• donna (8/5): - Awesome and so nice... people were great and pool clean
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Clean and next to broad walk. Great for a one night stay
• Verified traveler (6/5): - On the plus side, you can’t beat the location. The boardwalk is across the street. The guys who run the office and the adjacent ice cream shop were helpful. The room itself wasn’t fine. Beds were ok. AC worked well. On the minus side, I reserved a room with a pullout be and they didn’t have one ... however, they did knock $15 off the price and let us in early, so that was good. The biggest problem was we never saw or heard from a maid or any service in 48 hours. Room was never serviced while we were at the beach 3 1/2 hours. And they never checked before or after. Also, parking is not good. There’s virtually no paved parking and I had to squeeze in past a stop sign and make a hard 90 degree turn over a curb to get in or out. It’s really small with virtually no lobby or anything. I think if we’d got service I’d still give it a 4 but that knocked it down.
• Katie (10/5): - We came down on a whim in October for a quick weekend trip, and booked here last minute and arrived around 11pm. The owner showed up to let us in and he was fantastic! The room was perfect, location right across the street from the boardwalk, parking was great. I would recommend this motel to anyone, i had absolutely no complaints.
• Barkev (10/5): - Right across from boardwalk nice and clean family ran motel safe and with parking
• Mike (10/5): Seaside Heights Hotel - Great clean hotel and great owners
• Robert (10/5): - Right on the boardwalk in the middle of the action. Couldn't ask for a better location. Hotel was clean and comfortable and staff was friendly
• Verified traveler (2/5): - The walls were paper thin. Drunks outside the room were screaming from 2-4am. The room smelled-no blankets, just a bedspread - yuk, loud window air conditioner.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Quick and easy check in, easy parking, clean rooms, close to beach
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location. Best hotel to stay at with quick access to the boardwalk.
• Mitchell (8/5): Helpful & good environment - Great area, staff was very friendly and helpful
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Close to boardwalk and beach. The owner is very nice. Private parking lot at motel. Disappointed in condition of bed, window a/c unit had an unpleasant odor and the windows didn't open for fresh air. Also, we had cold water for a shower twice during morning hours.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - very bad conditions, old and gross. small room, expensive for what you get
• PrityG (8/5): - The location was great, right next to the broad walk for seaside heights! It was clean and functional, but some net curtains would have been nice given the access is straight onto the street, but other than that it was perfect for what we needed.
• Kenny (8/5): - Room was extremely clean but nothing fancy. Great location, right at the boardwalk. Did not like the $5 per day, per person charge for beach tags, would’ve been nice for it to have been included. Check out at 10 am and office wasn’t even open that early, I had to call for someone to come open,
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Could use some comfier beds thats about it...staffs cool parkings great 20 yards from the board walk bars close by too icream shop attatched nice little setup
