Rooftop view

I wanted an all inclusive vibe without the plane ride so this was it. Hard working friendly staff run the show here and everyone from the valet team to the front desk were outstanding. I loved the beach shuttle and free beach chairs. The rooms are spacious, immaculate and the shower actually has water pressure! We didn't dine on the property but they have plenty of options. Odd location on the highway but very close to all the island has to offer. Why this is not 5 stars: the pillows were way too soft on the bed. You need to use three to get comfortable. I also wish this was adults only. Huge families with obnoxious kids up at all hours of the night, all crammed into a tiny pool area which made it unusable for us. They took over the hot tub and pool, god forbid an adult wants to use this!

View from room 224

Came down to LBI to celebrate milestone birthday and first thing we see is the view from room 224. Gtfo with that. Paying over $650 / night for 3 nights, and enjoying the view of samsungs filtration and ac units. Just beautiful. Shower water smells like sewage and the same coming from the drain, had to put a towel over it to prevent fumes from coming up. Tried to eat breakfast there and it took close to hour to flag someone and get a bowl of yogurt with granola. It's also in a crappy location, and they tell you the shuttle runs to the beach, but what they don't tell you is that you'll wait half hour because it only fits 5-6 people (a minivan) and there's a line every morning. The ship bottom beach has no public restrooms or parking, so you either walk to Wawa 2 blocks and wait in a bathroom line there (again it's the only nearest bathroom) or call the shuttle to go back to the hotel. Based on the overall experience we'd never return. Also, room 224 should just be boarded up. Like why would you do this to your patrons?

A quick anniversary getaway for one night we decided to give the Hotel LBI a try and we were very happy with our choice. New, lovely and everything very spacious including our room we were soon talking about a return visit down the road in a month or two. What's not to like about happy hour on a Friday night and the place was a buzz with mostly locals roaming in to check out their new gateway hotel to their barrier island. Two bars accommodate the crowded happy hour and both very busy indeed serving drinks and bar food by their friendly staff. Prices were very friendly as well. Although there seems to be a fair number of disgruntled visitors, based on their Yelp reviews, I can only speak to our visit which was a single night in a king suite and we were very pleased. Check out my attached photos of our room which was AAA discounted for a decent price considering the accommodation.

Another great stay here. It's like being at a high end resort. Rooms are so big and beautiful. Bed is so comfortable everything they do is right. Valet service free. Room turn over done while your out. Nothing cheaply made they don't cut corners. Believe me it's not cheap at all for anything here. Your paying top dollar but I find it worth it for being pampered couple times a year

Food was delicious. Abby was an absolutely amazing server. She was constantly checking on us to make sure we had everything we needed, knew the menu very well, and chimed in with good jokes throughout the night. Try their Mac and cheese, short rib & lovely lady drink. Overall great night with even better service

Rooftop Bar
Nat H.

Pretty good for "Whataya, new¿" Rooftop bar is great. Awesome views, good drinks. Get up there early, they have a rooftop capacity reg., and an elevator operator with a counter. Interior decor is very well appointed. Rooms $$$$. Salt restaurant, is good and can get better.... PLEASE INVEST IN CEILING MOUNTED NOISE ABSORPTION TECHNOLOGY.

THE WORST STAY IVE EVER HAD. They took 4 hours to get us into a room. And they were unresponsive. Stay elsewhere. Like Daddy O's.

Ask the Community - Hotel LBI

Do they have a happy hour?

Yes - Tues-Thurs 5-7pm inside. I am pretty sure the rooftop has something too, but not 100%

Are the in room kitchens stocked with pots , pans Etc.?

Is the rooftop bar open to the public?

Yes, I believe it's open until 10. They do have a cap at how many people can be up there so sometimes people have to wait to go up. It's so nice though!

If you're looking for a place to stay in Surf City/Ship Bottom, look no further! There's a reason…read morethe Islander Motel has all five star reviews! To start, you have to call for availability and to book a room. You will likely talk to Joe, one of the owners, who always seems to run the front desk. Joe is a TOTAL sweetheart. He made the booking process easy and simple and wished us safe travels on our way to the Motel. We were also going to be arriving a bit late and Joe kept the front desk open so we could pick up our keys! The rooms are so cute and have almost everything you need for a weekend away. We had a fridge, microwave, tv, and Keurig in our room. The only think that seemed to be missing was a hairdryer so be sure to bring your own when you come! One of the best things about the Motel was that Joe gave us a ton of suggestions for restaurants and things to do on the coast. The Islander Motel also provides beach tags for guests so you don't have to buy a daily one at the beach. Our stay at the Islander Motel was awesome! We will definitely be coming back to visit again sometime soon. Thank you Joe!!

Joe was the best tenant you could ask for and we were amazed by the customer service. The room was extraordinary and very clean. We had room 1A and had a large bathroom with a beautiful tub and sink. Each room had hangers, a tv with Apple TV, a k-cup coffee machine, and two full beds that fit me my husband and son. Each room had rocking chairs outside and we were able to sit and watch the sunset from the room. Everything was in walking distance and i would say we will be coming back. Thank you for the amazing experience joe.

The hotel is very nice . Our single queen room was very spacious and clean. The only negative thing…read moreI can say is that our room was on the 2nd floor above the restaurant entrance. We felt the effects of the door slam each and every time it was used. It was horrible ! As for the lower level garden area bar it is a very nice area. Bar service was hit and miss . We ordered food while sitting at the garden area bar, my order was messed up . Also, the server who brought our food out asked if we needed anything else . We told him and we never seen him again. The bartender told us that that person won't be back . He went himself and brought back what we needed . I opted not to send my food back. We went up to the rooftop bar a few days later . The drinks were horrible. We ordered appetizers and entrees. I only ordered an entree . The appetizers came out about 15 minutes later and the main dishes took over an hour. The manager greeted us before we ordered our food . As we waited a few servers & the manager swung by and asked if everything was okay. I told the manager that our food was taking extremely long . Didn't matter to him I guess . Finally our food arrived and the person asked do we need anything else . I requested some mayo, he said okay. He ran down the stairs as if he was headed to get it . He didn't . The next time I saw him, he had another table's food in hand. He whizzed by me and I asked if he had the mayo. I had already finished my food but it didn't matter . He totally ignored me ! I do recommend this hotel but I would recommend that you go elsewhere for a meal.

First and foremost, the service was wonderful. Everyone I interacted with was extremely helpful…read moreand courteous. I stayed in a single queen room and the bathroom area was as spacious as the room! Really cute decor, lots of amenities. They provide towels, chairs and even umbrellas for your beach visit, which is walking distance (about 2 blocks). I had four 16 year old boys traveling with me and they stayed in a double queen room. They really loved the grab-and-go breakfast and coffee bar. And the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies in the afternoon! We stayed only one night but I would certainly return for an extended stay. Great hotel in a great location!

Compassion Cafe seeks the integration of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities through hands-on training and employment in a small coffee shop environment. By providing meaningful, paid employment for teens and adults with special needs, our employees will gain independence, self-confidence, and work skills for a successful future. WHAT an incredible and moving idea. The cold brew was PERFECT and I was even able to take away some dog treats that my doggers will enjoy. It was so nice to be able to meet some of the employees, support a great cause and enjoy some delicious coffee. Kudos to Sea Shell for hosting this cafe for the 2025 season!

Writing this review to warn people booking off season stays! I've stayed here many times in July…read moreand August and had a great time. Recently just stayed the second weekend of May for Mother's Day weekend and was very disappointed. I inquired prior to booking to ask if the pool would be open and they said yes so I booked rooms for me, my sisters and their kids. I figured May is hit or miss, but at least if the weather isn't great we could just hang out in the heated pool. Unfortunately they do not disclose prior to booking, or when I inquired about the pool, that the pool and pool deck is blocked off and you can only go in a small area on the shallow end if they are having a wedding. Well ends up, they had weddings both Friday and Saturday. I think in the off season months May, June, September, October this is very common here. Pretty much the entire premises was blocked off both days for weddings. We tried to go down to the tiki bar Friday evening around 7/8pm (which was the only place open for guests not going to the wedding) and it was closed already so there was really nothing on the premises for us to do. The rooms are too small to really hang out in (no couch or table). We did go to the tiki bar earlier in the day and the guys working there were nice, food and drinks were good. The palms trees were not installed yet, didn't know they wouldn't be there.. I had told my nieces and nephews about the palm trees because I always thought it adds something special to the ambiance. I called a couple days prior to our stay to request if our rooms could be next to each other. They said they could not put us next to each other, which was not a big deal, but then unfortunately we could hear everything through the walls of the rooms next to us. Saturday night we were surrounded on both sides by people staying for the weddings and although they just were talking in their rooms when they came up around 11pm, the walls are so thin that we could pretty much make out their entire conversation, which went on until after 1am. All in all it was a disappointing weekend. If we had only known, we would have stayed somewhere closer to home with more to do and less expensive.

Three and a half stars. Not amazing and not terrible…read more We were recently here in the off season for a wedding. Unfortunately this meant that the heated pool, the restaurant and the bar were all closed. Hotel prices should be much cheaper because of this reason, but they aren't. Thankfully, there is a restaurant called Dockside within walking distance on the main boulevard. Rooms are pretty small. Ours had 2 double beds and the area to walk around them is tight. Bathroom area to access the toilet is also tight. You have to enter and squeeze behind the door to close it to access the toilet and we are not large people. The shower stall was nice and big and very clean. It comes with shampoo/conditioner/bath gel in dispensers attached to the shower wall. Blow dryer in the bathroom sink cabinet. There is also an ironing board and iron in the closet. The room looked to be nicely renovated with a coastal and light/bright vibe to it. Everything was clean which is important. The air conditioner was a bit noisy at moments with some rattling but it did the job and didn't keep us awake. There is a mini fridge and a large tv on the wall. The best part is probably the proximity to the beach with easy access.
