I recently stayed for one night. While the hotel room was surprisingly updated and very clean, we found that it was muggy and had an odd smell as we walked in. We thought the air conditioner was not working although it was showing it was 65 degrees in the room. We called down to the front desk who sent a... More

I had the opportunity to stay at this hotel quite a few times since Oct. 29, 2012. As some readers may know, this is after hurricane "Sandy" destruction down the shore in NJ. The reception people were very cordial and accommodating to me in my time of personal difficulty. You understand I was one of the thousands of people whose... More

We stayed at the Holiday Inn in Manahawkin for a long weekend while visiting family - when I booked we were only able to reserve Friday night, but then Saturday night became available so we were able to stay both nights. The rates had dropped since I had first booked the room (a few weeks prior) and I was thankful... More

Place was clean and comfortable but over-priced. The staff either shrugged and indicated they didn't speak English or just ignored us. Also pass the attached restaurant. It doesn't even qualify as a restaurant. Food was poorly prepared and that was the high point of the meal.

I didn't have a reservation and needed a place to stay in this area. Options were not abundant in February, but I showed up and was given a good room immediately. The hotel and room were acceptable in every way--clean, comfortable, the wi-fi worked well, but what I noticed was the excellent service from the desk staff. Both checking in... More

I normally do not frequent holiday inns as they are usually out dated older properties. I was relatively surprised to find that this is a newer hotel. And the lobby is attractive. But my surprise ends there. The room was relatively clean except for the carpets, the lighter color definitely does not help mask any dirt. The bed was obviously... More

We were thrilled to find this hotel after a long afternoon at the nearby Barnegat Light State Park. The lady at the front desk was courteous and efficient. Our room was tasteful, clean and comfortable. Internet is important and the wired serice in the room was excellent. After a long day it was wonderful, to just walk down to the... More

The room was fairly clean (a little permanent mildew in the shower grout) and free wifi was very fast. The hotel as a whole seems to be well-maintained. The king size bed was definitely on the firm-side, but perfectly sleepable. I really only have two complaints: 1) The pillows on the bed are extremely small and uncomfortable. I would recommend...

We found the front desk to be courteous and professional. Our room requests were honored. Traveling as a family, we even managed to secure two interconnecting rooms. The rooms were average sized and clean. Closet space was more than adequate. The beds were very comfortable. The coffee maker worked great but the room lacked a mini frig. The hotel banquet... More
