We just made our summer reservations at the Luna Mar. We stayed last labor day weekend on a neigbor's recommendation and they were right - the Luna Mar was just what we were looking for. Last year we stayed in a motel room since we booked last minute - the room was well kept but a bit small - since... More

Luna-mar is located right across the street from the sandy beach and features short walk to Funtown pier and easy access to the Island beach state park. Checking in and out were the easiest I've seen. The staff was friendly and accommodating. They let us into our apartment 4 hours earlier than check-in time! The apartment was a bit crowded... More

The Luna Mar is across the street from the beach—that's the one and only reason to stay there. It's typical of seasonal Jersey shore joints, cramped, crowded, and crusty. For three months a years these salty inns operate under the philosophy of charging as much as humanly possible while improving as little as possible. They're a mash-up of cheap decor—fifty... More

The Luna Mar makes no attempt to represent itself as a high end chain hotel. Management and staff, (most over 10 years at this location) take great measures to provide clean and comfortable, family and couple oriented accommodations. The facility has been owned by the same family since 1981, and many of our guests are second generation. Extensive renovations have... More

My family returned the Luna Mar again this Memorial Day. I even brought my Uncle and his wife and my brother and his wife. My mother came and stayed in my room she is handicap and can not walk far so the convenience of the motel layout made it possible for her to get around so she was not in... More

This was our family's first time staying at the Luna Mar. We had an amazing time! The staff is wonderful and the motel is very clean. My children and husband all had a great time. The staff is very accommodating and so helpful! I had stayed at other motels at the Jersey shore and truly none other was like the... More

We have just returned home from spending a weekend at the Luna Mar Motel & would highly recommend this Motel to anyone looking to spend time at the Jersey Shore. - The location was perfect. Right across from the boardwalk, the beach & approximately four or five blocks from the amusement piers. - The Motel staff were very kind &... More

Let me just start off by saying that I have never felt the need to write a review online before this experience. I decided to go down the shore for a night with one of my best friends and my sister in law. After realizing that most NJ shore hotels have a 2 night minimum I was so pleased to... More

As I child in the 70's my family stayed at the Luna-Mar every summer and loved it. I started going back there in the late 90's with my wife and it's the only place in Seaside that we will stay at. The Luna-Mar is basically the place to stay for families or couples. They do not rent to groups of... More

We're a couple in our mid-50's, living in Annapolis, MD. We needed a place to stay in September to attend a function in Toms River. I remembered the Luna Mar from when I was a child, so we decided to take a chance on off-season rates, rather than stay in an expensive, big chain operation in Toms River. For about... More

The Luna Mar is a typical beachside motel. It's relatively clean and decent for a few nights stay. Love the area… great for families with young children. The Luna Mar has a pool and the beach is right across the street… and a couple blocks down starts FunTown Pier – loaded with rides and amusements for kids. Great summer-time vacation!
