“Just loved this place....”

We haven’t been to the Jersey Shore since 2000 and we were incredibly pleased with our recent stay at the Belvedere Hotel.

We will admit we had some reservations after reading a couple of the negative reviews but luckily found the comments were not applicable/non-existent during our stay.

First and foremost, our room was clean! Very clean! I loved the added touch of reading materials in our room and as luck would have it, I finished my book before my stay was over and did a book swap with one of the books.

The overall establishment was very clean and well kept! The location was incredibly quiet and the bed was great - we actually slept better and even longer than we do at home!! Perhaps because it was only one block from the boards/beach and an evening stroll along the beach or boards coupled with the fresh salt air was very relaxing!!

The proprietors – very friendly when we checked in but by choice didn’t have any real interaction with them until we checked out. They and quite honestly all the guests were friendly…”good morning”….”hello”, etc.; however we weren’t looking to be entertained or worse yet have to entertain anyone! We did overhear the owners engaging in various conversations with the guests and witnessed their attentiveness and helpfulness first hand. We wanted to rest, relax and enjoy some incredible weather (we got lucky) and more or less disengage from the world for a few days! We are very happy to say…..mission accomplished.

To answer the question would we stay again…..yes! As a matter of fact we made another reservation at the Belvedere for 3 nights at end of the month!!!

We had the opportunity to give Belvedere Motel another shot a few weeks after our first stay (see our last review: 'mold problem') and we were glad that we did. We were impressed; our room was spotless, fresh-smelling and not a trace of mold. It is evident that new cleaning staff have been hired. I am glad we returned because I can honestly say that we'll definitely be coming back either this summer, next summer or both. The pool is clean and refreshing, there are cute little gardens and flower boxes and the mattresses are new and comfortable.

Thanks Mike for a quiet, clean and comfortable stay.

Loved our timed spent at the Belvedere Motel !!! From the minute I pulled in and saw the beautiful flowers, pool and the look of the Motel in person I was thrilled. The owners were fantastic to work with. My daughter and I were so comfortable staying there. Our room was CLEAN and the bed was GREAT. If we needed anything the staff was right on it. One block to the beach, two blocks to the bay, what more could you ask for. The only negative thing I have to say is that our vacation had to end !!! We can not wait to come back to the Belvedere Motel !!!

I've been to the Belvedere many times. The hosts are fabulous and do go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. The beds are excellent. The place is clean and very well located. It's quiet and well maintained inside and out. I know of others who have stayed there and they all agree with me.

“Would NEVER go back!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 July 2011

Poor service as far as I'm concerned for the NJ shore! First, owner won't let you use the pool once you check out, or use beach passes. Therefor, if you check in at 4:00pm and check out the next day (at 11:00am) you don't even get to take advantage of the beach passes. On top of that, they want a $50.00 cash deposit for those beach passes. As a family going to the NJ shore, who brings an extra $300 cash to leave as a deposit..why not a c/c? And ohh boy, DON'T be late returning those beach passes..they are due back at 11:00 am on day of check out & if they're not, don't plan on seeing your deposit $, even if your only 10 minutes late! Owner NOT accomodating AT ALL! We had friends staying there & were told if we had checked out, we could not swim in the pools with them, b/c we checked out.

We welcome all guests. Unfortunately , we do fall victim to an unfair review sometimes.
I specifically remember these guests and should have refused them accommodations. They were made aware of our policies before thay checked in and were unhappy with our policies from the start. I suggested that maybe, they would like to stay elsewhere but, they CHOSE to stay, knowing Motel policies.

Let me say this first. After you have checked out of any Motel/Hotel, you typically lose ALL Motel privleges. Because, you are no longer a guest!

We LEND our guests Season beach passes as long as they are staying at the Motel (not after you have checked out) for a $50.00 cash deposit, in case they are lost or not returned by Check Out.. The $50.00 deposit is the cost to replace them. You are able to purchase daily passes at the Beach if you do not want to leave a deposit.

These guests came into the office 15 minutes before check out to get beach passes. I again made them aware that they were due back by Check Out.

As far as using the Pool or any other facility at this Motel or any other Motel.
Once you you have Checked Out, you are No Longer a Registered Guest! If you are a friend of a Registered Guest, you are still Not a Registered Guest. If you are No Longer or never have been a registered guest at the Motel and get hurt or drown in the pool, and We knowingly allowed you to swim. Our Insurance will NOT cover you and we will lose our business!!!!

I apologize for the signs of anger in some of my words but, this review is unfair and we would like these guests to stay elswhere on thier next visit to Saside Park.
