Top Island Heights Hotel Reviews

Surfside Motel

Surfside Motel

10/10 Excellent
"I have been coming to Surfside Motel in Seaside Heights for many years... I think the first time I came here was 1995. I think they have the same furniture here from when I first started coming lol. It is your typical Jersey Shore dive motel. It is an awesome place! If you are expecting a 5 star hotel, this is not the place for you. If you just need a bed, pool, and shower while you are enjoying the Jersey Shore nightlife and boardwalk, this is the spot. It is right across the street from the Boardwalk. Excellent location. The receptionist, Bushella, and the manager, Mike, have been here forever and are friendly and welcoming. The pool is right in the heart of the action and gets sun all day long. I definitely recommend this place!"

"Our favorite spot at the Jersey Shore that we return to every year. Request a balcony room - overlooks the pool! Simple rooms but always clean and very well maintained. It seems staff are always cleaning or improving something on property. If you're a hotel person like me - dont forget to bring your own ice bucket!! They do provide bags of ice but not the bucket. Ask about discount beach badges & ride tix. Great cafe across the street - Ma's Cafe - so awesome. You'll wait a bit but its worth it for such delicious food. Great BYOBs within walking distance or check out Wharfside for a good meal right on the bay. Request window seat! And take advantage of the free shuttle!"

"Had a mini apartment for the week basically. We loved it, to be fair though when we go to the beach we just want a clean place to sleep and get ready we are not in the room majority of the time. Had a small kitchen, living area, plus bathroom and bedroom and balcony. This was our 3rd year staying here but first time in this room and will deff be booking it again next year."

The White Sands Oceanfront Resort & Spa

The White Sands Oceanfront Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"The property itself is well-maintained. Our room in the hotel section of the resort was spacious, immaculate, and had excellent water pressure in the shower. The room also featured several local television channels and a king-size bed that was exceptionally comfortable. The air conditioning was controlled by a thermostat, ensuring quiet and efficient operation. The indoor pool was visually appealing. The outdoor pools were also pleasant, with lounge pool furniture and umbrellas in excellent condition. Beach access was straightforward, and the beach area was expansive. The boardwalk was a 10-minute walk away and was very child-friendly, offering a variety of rides and amusements. There were also several food and beverage options available. Overall, our experience was undoubtedly worthwhile. We will certainly return and request the same room."
