Convenient Location. Clean Hotel. Great Staff!
Probably the best motel in Seaside Heights. All the hotels are really run down in the area. I doubt you will find a better motel in the area. Great location, 1 block from the Boardwalk. The staff was great! Very helpful. The two gentlemen working during the day were running around nonstop taking care of the customers. Very accommodating! Room was Very clean. After reading reviews of many hotels in the area, I wasn't expecting much, but Sea Garden over delivered. It is an old hotel, like all the others in the area, but Sea Garden did a better job with maintenance and cleanliness.

This hotel is in a great location to the boardwalk and to the beach. It was close enough to get around but far enough away that we couldn’t hear loud partiers on the boardwalk. If you are into a place for its location and don’t mind packing a few extra items to make it a pleasant stay (comforter, wash cloths, toiletries), it’ll work for you!

Truly gross and offensive
Cigarettes everywhere -- it's like a homeless shelter for families. Go elsewhere.

Great location, close to board walk and restaurants. Staff were friendly and restocked towels and toilet paper when needed. We have stayed in other hotels in seaside and this was by far cleaner and had a nice pool area. Pool was very clean. Top blanket on bed and washcloths not provided but wasn't a big deal due to reading on their website before we went. They have big gas grills of you want to cook out.

Location was great and staff was friendly. However the room should of been in better condition for the money we spent. Broken lamp shade, floor tiles ,stained ceiling tiles,broken blinds . No stopper in bathroom sink. Bed was terrible to sleep on. Outdated furniture and kitchen sink was all chipped up.

The motel definitely updated their rooms from the bathroom to the bedrooms ( due to covid they don’t provide blankets, we brought our own. Not a-lot of available parking but broad walk is literally 2 blocks away .

The place is convenient located to the beach and boardwalk but the property is exactly what a motel has a reputation to be. If was very noisy as if someone was moving furniture all night. The pool doesn’t open until 10 am.

I liked the two bedroom option. The room had decent space, however, the rooms are very dated. The bed frames were made out of wood, which is fine, but the frame was exposed and not properly balanced. My son cut his leg due to the frame sticking out. The bathroom sink had permanent stains on it making the sink look filthy. The entrance doors need better locks.

Property was in process of being upgraded. Room was clean but bare essentials only.
No place to hang anything, clothes or towels.
Window blinds were partially broken and there were no drapes. Room was light at night.

We were not told the room would not be cleaned during our stay. We had to bring our towels back and forth ourselves in order to get new ones. The rooms next to us were noisy through the night and the room was not as pictured online. It was a very misleading description and we would not stay here again.

Some atypical things you should know: (1) check-in "ends" at 10:00 pm, so if your travel is delayed, be sure to call the desk and ask them to remain open so you can check in. (2) the free breakfast consists of coupons for a small deli down the street where you can have either an egg/cheese sandwich on a roll or a bagel with cream cheese plus either an orange juice or a coffee. (3) the pool doesn't open until 10:00 am. (4) the railing leading to the second floor was quite loose. The motel's decor is dated, but it was reasonably clean, reasonably priced compared to the local competition, and reasonably close to the beach.

Near the beach, boardwalk and a few restaurants. The rooms could definitely be more updated. Our room smelled very musty and damp. No blankets....what does this have to do with "precautionary measures we are taking to continue having a safe summer". We had to go to the office to ask for more towels, which were paper thin and basically useless. No one emptied our trash. I guess I expected a little more.
