We stayed here last summer, pre-Sandy. We had a 2 room suite upstairs. The rooms were spacious. We specifically requested that we had a bathroom that was off of the outside room (so we could easily use it after the kids had gone to bed, while still being able to sit on the deck). This was accommodated easily. The room... More

Great location!!! We stayed in an upstairs room that had not been redone - so your typical "down the shore room". It was clean and fine for the night. We didn't swim in the pool but it looked great. The owner did show us a room downstairs that had been renovated due to the storm. They look fabulous and we... More

Never returning. Was a mistake. Didnt see room prior to booking it. Facing parking lot with noisy neighbors on ground floor. Longer walk than expected to boardwalk. Not recommended! TV wasn't even set up for cable. Place not well lit at night. Didn't feel safe.

5 minute walk to boardwalk. Good parking on site was free. Wifi worked sometimes. Good pool but cold although guests were swimming. Old tube style Tv and cable was just ok. Mini fridge in room and microwave. Beds are old as was room and bathroom. Bottom line: your paying for location. It works for a night or two if you... More

Recently stayed at Pelican Point over this past weekend (Aug 17 to Aug 19, 2012) and had a 2 night stay in the 2 bedroom suite. I do have to say that the pictures of this place make it look better than it is. The staff was okay but seemed a little unorganized. We arrived about 11AM on Friday (check... More

Well let's be honest, the reservation was made for four adults and when they arrived there were six adults, I explained to them that normally we do not allow six adults in the room but I would make an exception at no additional charge. With that I merely suggested that if they were all going to be using blow dryers... More

I stayed there for 4th of July weekend! It was the cleanest motel that I have ever stayed at. Very spacious and the people that worked there were extremely friendly! I loved it so much that I am going back for Labor Day Weekend!

Now the PELICAN POINT MOTEL, this place is a dump. The only plus I would give this hotel is the location,1½ blocks from the boardwalk. Everything else goes downhill from here. The rooms are dirty, with wallpaper peeling off the walls. The pool fenced area is so small that [3] sides are for walking only & there’s no room for... More

We recently visited the hotel this July and booked it based on pictures and location. We arrived and the room was tiny, outdated, and had dirty sheets and comforter. When we complained, the manager gave us a better room (but not much) and said we had to pay more for the better room! We managed to stay a few hours... More

Wow !!!! When customer was checking in it was apparent that they we're upset about something and didn't want to be in Point Pleasant before they ever go to their room. The room they were given was a room that was recently renovated and they said that the sheets were dirty. I immediately went to the room to check out... More
