One of the Worst Hotel Experiences of My Life - BED BUGS in 3 Different Rooms…read more I came to this hotel on a 5-day business trip with a coworker, expecting a clean and restful stay. Instead, what we experienced was an absolute nightmare. By day three, both of us had painful, swollen bites all over our legs. At first, we thought they were mosquito bites -- until a pest control expert told us they looked like bed bug bites. We checked our room, and sure enough, we found a live bed bug in the bedding. We filmed it for proof and brought the video to the front desk. We were stunned by the staff's response. The front desk attendant, Vaughn, was completely unfazed -- chewing gum, dismissive, and asking why we "waited so long" to report it. Even with video evidence, we were met with skepticism instead of concern. When we asked about laundry service to avoid spreading bed bugs, we were told we'd have to pay for it ourselves -- maybe get reimbursed. We were moved to another room... only to find another bed bug AND a granola bar stuffed between the bed and the wall. Disgusted, we returned to the front desk again, apologizing for coming back so soon -- and that's when Vaughn casually told us bed bugs are seasonal and "come and go every year." That alone should be a dealbreaker for any guest. It only got worse. Our third room had yet another bed bug. At this point, we were mentally and physically exhausted. We sealed off part of the room and tried to sleep, paranoid and beyond frustrated. The next morning, my coworker spoke to someone claiming to be a manager -- who asked why we didn't report it sooner and whether WE CAUGHT THE BED BUGS for pest control. Completely inappropriate and tone-deaf. Later, we spoke to the so-called general manager, who tried to downplay our bites as mosquito bites, despite the videos we had from all THREE rooms. He even tried to justify the behavior of his employees, one of whom had rudely cut off our boss over the phone and slammed a keycard at us without saying a word. We were reimbursed for laundry and only given a partial refund, despite having to live in fear of bringing bed bugs home, losing sleep, and enduring some of the worst hospitality I've ever experienced. Not once did anyone sincerely apologize or take real accountability. If you care at all about cleanliness, safety, or basic respect as a guest -- do not stay here. This hotel has a serious infestation problem, and worse -- an even bigger problem with how they treat their guests.

I would stay here again, but going to give an honest review. I stayed here 3 days/2nights for a…read moretrip to NJ. What I didn't like is the ice cold shower on Monday morning. Evidently the hot water had to be reset. Additionally, I didn't like coming back to no housekeeping. It is every other day at this location. Most places inform you off it or you can request daily if you are a higher loyalty tier. When I asked about it, the staff told me it was in the website in a very defensive and dismissive tone and conversation. I didn't see it there and it didn't solve the situation. Really liked the room, but the microwave in room 418 was not good and did not cook to throughly, and i had a terrible time with it. I had pitched a frozen dinner downstairs and it was not a good experience. Hotel was nice and clean. The room was spacious. The breakfast was good and was the traditional Hampton Inn breakfast with all the options. I did get to enjoy the pool too which was nice. Staff was great aside from the housekeeping conversation. Going with a 3 based on THIS overall experience but could easily see it as a 4 or 5 star stay if I should ever stay again.

I arrived in the afternoon and was greeted and checked in promptly. I have IHG status, and they gave me a small goodie bag with water and snacks at check-in. My room was on the second floor (ground level, just steps from the lobby). The room itself was quite large, with a modern design that felt recently renovated. There was a large television and a desk area with a comfortable leather chair. The mini fridge was more substantial than usual, closer to a half-size fridge, and actually worked well, which is not always the case in hotel rooms. The heating and fan system also worked effectively, and I was able to block out any outdoor noise. The bed was especially comfortable, with plenty of pillows that were not overly firm, and clean, crisp white bedding. The bathroom was spacious, the shower had good pressure, and was stocked Dove products. Breakfast is included with the stay. I had a few mini omelettes, though much of the hot food had run out by the time I got there. There was still a decent selection of fruit (apples, oranges, berries), baked goods, and oatmeal packets. I also had tea, although I heard the automatic coffee machine was not working during my visit. Overall, this was a smooth and comfortable stay. The Holiday Inn Express brand seems to have experienced a glow-up, my recent stays over the past few years have been good, well-priced, and reliable.

We stayed for two nights, check in and check out was easy process and housekeeping was available on request. We used some of the facilities on site and booking was an easy process. We booked a private breakfast for our guest the next morning and also kept the bar open for an after party. The staff let us hang in the lobby/bar area and didn't give us any trouble. Only downside is not much is included in the room price. Even coffee from the lobby was a charge from Starbucks. Rooms are a little outdated but felt clean and everything was functioning. Prices during the summer season can definitely be pricey as you're paying a premium for the shore location. Other than that would definitely stay here again!

My husband and I stopped here during the holidays to get a few hours of sleep on a very long car…read moreride back from seeing our family for the holidays. It was late at night and we were back on the road in the morning so we just wanted something simple cheap quick and decent enough to get some rest and take a shower something I would think is the bare minimum for any hotel. We paid $130 on top of a $50 deposit at one in the morning only to check out before 11 upon entering the room I got sick to my stomach because of a putrid extremely strong smell of mildew/wet dog I was told this was the last room available and could not get my money back if I wasn't going to stay it was only a few hours so we decided to suck it up. My husband turned on the hot water to take a shower and not even five minutes went by and the fire alarm is going off from the steam. He couldn't even get through a full shower without the alarm going off so eventually, we just let the alarm go off until the shower was done. The comforter on the bed had burn holes and stains. You could tell the sheets have not been changed. Luckily, I brought my own blankets. The heat kept turning off and we would wake up freezing only to see that the thermostat red low battery and would not stay on waking up in the morning. We had a note under our door that they were doing maintenance and there would be no order at all until further notice so we couldn't take a shower rush-hour teeth or even use the bathroom before checkout. The guy was knocking on the door 10:55 and since my husband was already at the car, he assumed I was alone and kept winking at me and giving me the absolute creeps. I also noticed a bunch of itchy bumps on my back and chest after I left, so I'm assuming there was probably some kind of bedbug or something too the lady at the desk was so rude and didn't.Want to hear a word I had to say.

First of all, the key cards didn't work, so we didn't have keys to our room. We had to go get the clerk every time we needed to be let in. The desk clerks were very nice and I feel bad they work in a dump like this. I checked for bed bugs immediately, all clear. The walls were stained, the bed spread was stained with questionable fluids. There were also cigarettes holes in the sheets. Stellar. The tv remote was missing, so we started messing with the tv to see if we could get it on and change channels without it.... the tv had several holes in it. When my boyfriend shuffled the tv, a dead bug fell out of the hole in the back. Super. I guess someone had been living in this place before we came along, because they left behind their dirty, busted Xbox, along with several controllers. I think my favorite piece of TRAISURE, however, was the court summons that was tucked into the tv stand. Truly a precious, irreplaceable souvenir from our stay. Just do yourself a favor and spend the extra money to stay somewhere where you'll come in contact with less DNA. It's really not worth it to have to sleep with all of your clothes on.

On to the cons, there is no dresser or any type of drawers to put clothing in. Also no vanity or any counter top in the bathroom. Just really no where to put any of your things. 80% of the very few channels you get are fuzzy and blurry. The mini fridge did not work as well. Wi-fi was pretty much non existent. For the most part it's nit picking I do not come to the beach for an extravagant hotel room so most of those things didn't bother me all that much , the only thing is it seemed some of our stuff was touched when we went away , Beware !!

The only room they had available was a smoking room. We reluctantly booked as we are non smokers. The first thing we noticed upon our arrival was the stench of stale cigarette smoke. It hit us like a ton of bricks. The overall cleanliness was awful. The sheets on the bed were ripped and had clearly not been changed. There was poop smeared on the toilet seat, the mini fridge looked like it had never been wiped down, the mirrors had gunk smeared all over them, the water from the sink, toilet and shower was brown and smelled like death. Washing up for the night was not an option. The real kicker? As I laid down in the bed, I noticed something blue and shiny laying under the dresser. I decided to investigate. It was a crack pipe! That's right, a complimentary crack pipe with booking of any smoking room at Royal Motel! We complained to management and we were refused a refund. Do not waste your money here! $110 for one night in this room was a rip off. If we had felt safe enough we would have just slept in the car. It definitely would have been cleaner
