New mattresses, spartan but clean enough. Who cares about amenities...it was cheap and right on the ocean. Yes, night clerk was annoyed by my presence, but it was cheap and right on the ocean. Day desk personel lovely. I'd stay there again for sure. Hey...it was cheap and right on the ocean!

We loved it here! We had an ocean front room that was clean and roomy. I feel that a lot of the previous reviews are really unfair. Yes, if you are looking for a new luxury motel with all the amenities, then this is not for you. This is an older motel, but they also don't claim to be new... More

It was the worst! Expensive and not clean.The office lady was nice but the young man was rude and a jerk. Would not recommend this to anyone. Awful experience so don't go - hit the Holiday Inn a few blocks away where at least you get breakfast!!!

The first impression of the Bethany Arms is basically what you get. Check-in for us was quick but the hotel clerk acted like he couldn't be bothered. Not a welcoming experience. The location of the hotel is excellent! It is right on the boardwalk and beach and within walking distance to everything. Forty years ago (if in a time warp)... More

Location – The motel is situated very close to the beach, with two buildings (A and C) a minute away, others closer. You have to walk past the shops, to the boardwalk, and then you are on the beach. It is also just one block from the main drag, where all the restaurants and stores are. So, walking distance to/from... More

After visiting the Bethany arms motel I can understand the mixed reviews. The quality of the stay is totally dependent on the room you are given. My husband, daughter and I stayed in building e with ocean front view and the room was ok. Yes, its shabby but the basics are there. Having a refrigerator and kitchen meant we could... More

If your looking for luxury, this is not the place for you. On the other hand if you are looking for a great location and decent price then I would say this is it! We spent 4 days here and had no problems. We loved it because of the oceanfront/boardwalk views. We didn't come into it expecting much, just somewhere... More

All of the negative reviews are spot-on: this motel is shabby, run-down, and depressing. I was absolutely mortified to bring my kids (all teenagers) to the Bethany Arms. I could go on and on with the negative review, but I will focus on a few bullets: - front desk clerk was useless, shabby, and had zero interest in welcoming us... More

From the outside you'd think it's a luxury, but once you step inside it's disgusting. There's a horrible smell. It's absolutely dirty. Housekeeping is rude, they sit on the towels before giving it to you. Some of the people that work there have no respect at all. At one point I was ready to check out on the second day.... More
