But when I got there on July 23, the room I was given was not the room I booked online!. The room price per night was $209, the room I was given - my goodness - I wouldn't have paid $209 per night! This room looked like $60 motel room! I was furious. I told the proprietor to return my money for false representation. Long story short, I left, I didn't even unpack. The pictures are true.

Staff here are what make this place go from good to great. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. They seem to enjoy working here. Rooms are well maintained. There is a Cafe on site where you can get lunch and dinner. Only ate there once but it seemed good enough. Parking spots are a little tight and you only get one so if you have two cars you will need to find another place to park. Office has coffee all day and my sister preferred to get it from there rather than make it in the room so that was a plus. Office also has games you can borrow and we took advantage of that one night. I would happily stay here again. It was a nice relaxing week.

The rooms were clean, modern and comfortable - especially the bed! A five-minute walk to town for meals and shopping and Sunday farmer's market across the street made the location perfect.

The Colonial made for a memorable family get-away on all fronts!

The location is great, just a couple blocks to town and to the beach! The folks who take care of it do a fantastic job and it's probably the cleanest place I've ever stayed! We liked that each room has a set of chairs and a small table near the door, plus there's a larger deck area and a really nice fire table area. There are different styles of units to choose from to suite various vacation needs. There's also a nice outdoor shower for rinsing off the sand. If you're looking for a clean, quiet, and classic beach motel, this is the place. I look forward to coming back!

Let me start off by saying I really love it here. The family who owns the Dunes also owns The…read moreHarbor Inn, The Seward (where you check-in, regardless of which motel you are staying at), and The Colonial Lodge, which are all within a few blocks of each other. My husband and I stayed at the Harbor Inn last year, so we chose to switch it up and stay at the Dunes this year. We opted for the King bed room, sans kitchenette (they do offer a King room with a small kitchenette, which looks nice on their site), which includes a fridge (no freezer), a small-ish flat screen TV (awesome), a microwave, coffee maker, and (obviously) a smaller-ish bathroom. Everything is spotless, and cleanliness plays a HUGE roll for me when I review a motel/hotel. The woman who cleans the rooms, Shirley, is friendly and personable and does an amazing job of keeping this nice and tidy here. It's amazing when you're staying a block from the beach, and don't find sand in your room from previous guests, way to go Shirley! The bed is a little on the super firm side, and I have a pretty bad back, so no complaints there from my. My husband would've preferred a bit more cushion, but he's a little too picky sometimes ;) We stayed (staying? I'm typing this from the King bed in our room, hehe) on the second floor, room 201 to be exact, which had a nice patio-like balcony seating area. Each room has two chairs outside on the balcony, a small table, and an ash tray, which works for me because both my husband and I do smoke. Next to our balcony, there is a larger balcony, equipped with an awning over part of it, chairs and tables, and also lounge-like outdoor chairs, which are closer to the balcony railing and in the sun, nice for laying out on and getting some sun. Parking is scarce here, as far as the actual parking lot goes, and it is difficult to find a spot and keep it, as other guests who weren't able to get a spot are like vultures; as soon as you pull out of you're spot, they're right behind ya pulling in. The smaller rooms do not include parking. There is ample street parking, which is free from 9pm to 10am. There is no pool here, but you're a block away from the beach. Beach over the pool any day, in my opinion. And why else would you be staying down the shore, other than for awesome beach time. They also have an outdoor shower and clotheslines around the side of the building, next to where the ice machine is. Great for rinsing off after the beach and hanging your towels up to dry. This is a HUGE plus for me. I HATE tracking sand into my room; I like leaving the beach AT the beach. I frequent the shore every year, as I am a south Jersey native, and am only about an hour away from Stone Harbor (35 mins from AC). Sometimes, I like to stay down here for a few days, rather than just come for a day and go home. The Dunes, and it's "sister" motels, is definitely a place I will be returning to in summers to come. Clean rooms, a block away from the beach, that are reasonably priced (considering it's the shore) is all I need for a happy vacation.

Sealark would be a 3 based on my other visits to other places. Regardless, I would definitely come back because the hotels in the area are too commercialized for me and there isn't a whole lot to choose from unless you score something on AirB&B. Sealark is much more like staying at home and in the neighborhood but still super close to the beach. Restaurants are in a blink of an eye driving distance. 96th street is about a 3-5 minute drive. I stayed in Loft number 8, which was the highest room in the house and attic style. Steep stairs all the way up but a great workout! The other rooms were sold out so this is was what I went for. I really didn't mind though. The loft shares a sun or picnic area styled deck and one layout chair (better if they had 2...could be a fire hazard?). It's really simple and a nice add-on to have easy access from the loft. The room was long and skinny with a living room area, HDTV, bedroom, mini kitchen and bathroom. AC was on full blast. Good for the husband, bad for the wife but an extra blanket really helped keep me cozy. The ability to cook and have privacy were the pluses for this room. The bedroom didn't have a tv, just the living room and there is great wifi access. There were plenty of windows, a wall full of basic artwork and it was a perfect size for 2 people to have space. The downfall was that it wasn't fancy by any means. I really didn't mind and that's why I would come back, however I could see how someone would be disappointed if they had much higher expectations. The room had a lot of original features since the house was old. I loved the wooden door with old school locks. A few dusty areas but nothing to gripe about. The breakfast was come and go starting at 9 am. It was perfect for us and saved on going out of our way to find a restaurant. My husband and I had the quiche, bread, fruit and the homemade cake. They also offer coffee, water, tea, and OJ. All of it was a treat! Kudos, to the chef for the quiche and cake. The porch out front was another plus. It wraps around and has a few glider chairs. We both loved talking outside and sharing a few drinks. At 11am check out the innkeeper said that we were welcome to come back and use the outdoor shower (post beach) and for a $25 cash deposit we could use the beach tags. Returnable: 90%
