We booked our stay at The Amethyst Beach Motel through Booking.com and unfortunately learned upon arrival that the payment made online was only a deposit, not the full cost. Neither the site nor the hotel made this clear ahead of time, which was definitely inconvenient and frustrating. The staff experience was mixed. When we asked questions, the woman at the desk often seemed rushed and a little annoyed. We also had to call multiple times for towels, only to be told later by the cleaning crew that the owner was upset with us for not waiting until housekeeping came by, which felt unprofessional. The complimentary breakfast was very limited mainly small pieces of muffins, plus coffee and tea so don't expect much variety. As for the room itself, while it was clean and came with a small flat-screen TV, the lighting was terrible and the outlets were placed high up on the walls, which made them awkward and inconvenient to use. On the positive side, the location is excellent, just two blocks from the boardwalk. The motel also has a nice pool area with tables where families often gather, which was a plus. Overall, it's a clean and conveniently located place to stay, but the service, amenities, and room setup could definitely be improved.

Complimentary morning coffee and muffins !

Had a great overnight stay for a mini weekend getaway with a friend. Perfect distance from Jenkinson's boardwalk and bars. More private area near a small lake with a cute view. They even had complimentary coffee and muffins in the morning! Only issue we had was with the shower. It was a bit difficult to get the shower head to work at all. A few updates are needed but we had a fabulous stay for the price ! Will definitely be back.

Weekend of September 12th.I read the reviews and I know this place needs a facelift badly.are room 112 was clean and we got to check in early. The AC worked great! There was only 1 outlet that worked in the entire room including the bathroom. The bathroom had a vent in the wall with no screen allowing bugs to come in. The pool was filthy both days we were there so we didn't swim. The hotel is located .4 miles from beach and that was great. Next time we visit point Pleasant we will stay somewhere else.

Disgusting and will be making a formal complaint with the health department! Carpet is wet and rooms have a strong mildew smell ! Not just our room but we have asked other people staying here and they have the same smell! The pool level is under the first step and about 2 feet from where it should be so obviously it's leaking. Water stains on several ceiling panels. This place needs to be shutdown! There is mold that guests are breathing.

First let me start by thanking Theresa and the ENTIRE staff at the Amethyst for accomodating our 25 plus friends and family the week of June 9th as our wedding hotel for out of town guests. We chose Amethyst because my fiance and I met next door and have spent every year after at amethyst for my bday weekend. Now , if you are looking for the Ritz Carlton ..this is not it. If you are lookimg for a beach motel with no frills rooms but still clean, spacious and comfy, a place where the staff is accomodating, friendly, beyond helpful , amazing location to boardwalk, awesome clean pool right outside your door and a continental breakfast ...a place where you become family w the staff..then this will be your go to beach motel ! The Amethyst also opened a beautifully renovated rentable party room at the hotel that we were first to use ! we utilized it for our welcome dinner for out of town guests , complete w bar, tables, patio access, fridge ,ice and a gorgeous in wall divider fish tank . We had food catered in and it was perfect! Our guests stayed anywhere from a week to 2 days minimum and we have nothing but thanks for the entire staff ! See you all in August ! Jena & James

Nice clean motel, this is quite nice for the money. We stopped in off season and were able to check…read morein early, check out time was flexible and we were offered a room with a king size bed for no additional cost. It's walking distance to several taverns, restaurants, coffee, thrift stores, shops and the ocean. I grew up on the Jersey shore so I'm very familiar with the area. I spent a night in Seaside Park and Seaside Heights, both were very disappointing and I'm glad I decided to head north even if It was out of the way to visit with family.

I made a reservation and then had to cancel for reasons beyond control, three weeks in advance of…read morethe reservation. I was told I cannot get my deposit back as the cancellation would have had to have been more than 30 days. I was not told about this policy. The deposit was $423. When I called back to try and work it out with the manager she was quite nasty and accused me of being nasty to her girls. I asked if we could apply the deposit to future dates and was told flat out no. Then she started yelling at me. I wanted to talk to the owner, Theresa, however they would not allow that as they said she is seldom on site. We had gone to this hotel many times in the last 15 years with family and always had a good experience. This certainly left a bad taste in my mouth. I will not recommend this hotel to anyone now as the customer service received from the manager was less than pleasant.

I was at a loss when I realized I was going to point Pleasant to find a nice hotel. Jersey shore…read morehotels are not the best and there are no chains. I reached out to an old friend who recommended the White Sands hotel. I didn't realize how large it is. My husband and I are staying in the main building and my daughter and family are across the street near the pools and ocean which is fine because they have small children. I have a king room which is fairly large with a nice little patio. It's called the parking lot view, but I can actually see the beach from here and on a clear day, the ocean as well. There's a restaurant on site as well as an indoor pool and hot tub. There is also a bourbon bar that opened which I haven't tried. The room is very clean and looks like it's been recently renovated. Since we are at the shore, it is a blessing not to have a carpet in the room trapping sand. The housekeeping staff does a really nice job. The bathroom is small just has a toilet and a small shower with the sink in the main area just outside the bathroom. That works for us. The only thing I would recommend is an additional nightstand. There's only one nightstand, although there are space for one on each side of the bed. I am using a crate to charge my things. There's a small microwave and a nice small refrigerator. We are one block from the beach. We have wristbands that open the doors to the room and also allow us pool and beach access. The beach is a little on the small side, but it is private with a lifeguard. Point pleasant is a nice little town with a lot of rental homes in the vicinity of the hotel. It's a quick walk to the boardwalk and the amusements it far enough away where it's quiet. It's only the weather would cooperate. You have to book these rooms by February and there's no telling what the weather is gonna be like so we've had some rain and clouds. We're thinking we'll be back next year. So far, a wonderful stay.

We chose the White Sands to accommodate our out of town guests for our wedding. Our friends from…read moreall over the country were incredibly impressed with the rooms, the pool and the beach. Staff was incredible throughout our entire stay. We had a pool party with our guests upon arrival, enjoyed the party room until closing, and ate breakfast from the on-site snack bar (the spot by the pool, not the one in the lobby). I grew up 10 minutes away from the White Sands, and can't believe I've never been. Truly an amazing experience.

Motel has most helpful staff, complimentary morning coffee, small refrigerators in the rooms & a nice little heated pool. All the comforts and with a very reasonable price.

I'll be honest we were really skeptical about booking here due to the reviews of how outdated it…read morewas. BUT we wanted to give it a try. I called to book instead of using booking and we got a better price & a better room than booking.com had. Truly best vacation we have had. Pros : -affordable -family friendly atmosphere - Beautiful view ( bayberry building ocean view with balcony raised first floor) -very clean -ALL the staff was SUPER friendly and helpful -Private beach access (trust me it's so worth it) -Clean pool -LOCATION- best location hands down right at the beginning of the boardwalk and on the beach. You can see the fireworks that they have every Thursday right at that end of the boardwalk. -The room got cold fast and stayed cool all day -OFFICE DOG literally coolest fog ever -next to a cute breakfast/lunch place -next to an ice cream place that has the best water ice and ice cream we've had ever. Cons -little outdated for sure -beds are not super comfortable but tolerable to be honest. -you can hear everything through the ceiling (but that's just apart of it not their fault) -balcony is right next to the walking path where people wash off from the private beach Overall it was so worth the price for just the location and view. We went on days we knew wouldn't be as busy. I loved it and would go back again but they are selling according to their FB. So hopefully whoever buys it keeps the family friendly atmosphere!

As far as hotels/motels go for down the shore this place was great! Truly a diamond in the rough…read more My family really enjoyed our weekend getaway here. The room was very CLEAN, which was very important to me! We also were interested in a hotel as we wanted to be able to access a pool on site. The pool was also very clean, my children enjoyed both day swimming and night swimming. The hotel guests access the Maryland Avenue beach, which was very short walk, we had a beach cart for our chairs, and other beach essentials which was very helpful. This beach was also very CLEAN. I could see my feet crystal clear in the water. The boardwalk is about a 30 minute walk, we choose to drive, only about a 3-5 minute ride. I actually enjoyed the fact that it wasn't close as my children could not see it from the beach and/or hotel. I'd definitely recommend this location for anyone interested in a CLEAN place to stay!

I loved it here. My first thought of the place was how pleasantly surprised I was at how clean it…read morefelt and looked. I was greeted by the front desk, couple hours before check in time, just to see if my grandmother could use the restroom. She said yes and let me know the room was actually ready to go. Awesome! We unloaded and left for the beach. The room was spacious and clean as well. Some of the furniture was just beautiful too. The bathroom was nice and spacey. Not the best water pressure from the shower, but no biggy. They have a nice pool area, not those small squeezed in kind at some hotels. There were a bunch of people at one point, but still a plethora more of chairs. They have a little grill in the back too that we were able to get coffee from one morning. I was a little unclear on what time they were open until. I had hoped to get a late lunch snack or something, but they were gone by 3pm. Loved this place, will definitely recommend and definitely come back.
