“BARE BONES”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 September 2010

Not happy with my experience, would never go back. The room appeared clean until I looked at the build up of dust, rust and overall poor maintenance by owners. No phone in the room didn't make me feel safe. There was a frig, but no ice trays and no ice machine on the premises. Location is good, pool looked clean but small, price is okay but did not feel like I got my money's worth. My feeling is that who ever owns this property puts nothing back into it.

“Awesome Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 September 2010

I have stayed several times at the Belvedere Hotel. It has been always very convenient close to Island Beach State Park.
The Motel is nice and clean.

“"What a dump!" Bette Davis”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2010
1
person found this review helpful

I will say this: a nice touch---free beach passes which will save you $10 per day and sure, the owner is friendly. I'd be friendly too if I was charging more than $150 per night for a dump that has a ONE MONTH CANCELLATION POLICY.

Not clean by anyone's standards. Hasn't been updated since before the 1960's. Needs new paint, new carpets, new bathroom, new everything.

The air conditioner worked but not the Internet (extra charge of $6.99). Signal is so weak you can't get your messages.

I wore flip flops in the shower, OK? Get the picture???

We would like to thank everyone that has taken the time to post a review, as well as those who haven't, for staying with us!

A bad review always stands out so, We would like to say,
We are sorry to hear that someone has been unhappy with their stay! My wife and I do not like to see or hear of anyone leaving our establishment without having enjoyed themselves!
There are a few comments that I would like to make.

Let's start with the most important complaint of cleanliness!
I and my wife personally inspect all of the rooms because this, above all is very important to us.
We recieve compliments on a daily basis about how clean our rooms are. Thank You for all of your Great Reviews!

All of our carpets are no more than two years old. We have installed all new mattresses this year. All of our Bathrooms are Tile!
Besides building a new pool.
The entire building was painted last year 2009 along with many other renovations. We have been here for 14 years and are constantly updating everything. We are however a Motel that has been here since the 1950's and are Seasonal. I have to admit that the paneling in the rooms is probably from the 1980's but, we try to focus on the importance of Clean Rooms, Good Mattresses and Air Conditioning! We rarely have anyone complain of the Decor!

We DO have a cancellation policy with a one night cancellation fee. If there is a cancellation less than 2 WEEKS from your arrival. This is typical of ALL Motels at the New Jersey Shore. Most other Resort areas are more.

We do NOT have rooms for two people that are more than $145.00 per night (our rates are posted on our Web site) Additional people in a room are @ $10.00 per night.

WE do not offer wireless Internet but, a company called BamNet has made us a HotSpot for the surrounding area. They do charge a fee of $6.99 per day (24 hrs.) for a "Secure" connection to the Internet. We have no affiliation with BamNet or control over your connection.

We will make an attempt to contact this couple.

“A little slice of heaven :)”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2010

I traveled w/my girlfriend and her teenage daughter & a friend for a fun night away at the beach. Our room was spacious and CLEAN, (cleaner than any I've stayed in at Seaside over the last 20 yrs), AND it actually smelled nice. The A/C & frig were in perfect working order and the beds were COMFORTABLE. The swimming pool, although small, was gorgeous and again, clean. This is one those quaint, smaller, diamonds in the ruff that are hard to find. An exceptional motel, tucked away from the hustle n bustle, no riff raff, with a friendly staff, family-oriented atmosphere, and a short walk to the beach. Also important, great food w/in walking distance, try the 3C's luncheonette. Overall, I could not find one negative comment and I will definitely stay here again, and again!!
