Detailed Reviews
Having never been to Long Beach Island, NJ before, I had no idea where to stay or what to expect. I must say I was pleasantly surprised on both counts. Hurley's is not large by any stretch (10 rooms) and is located on almost the southern tip of the island in a quiet, residential area. The motel is less than 100 feet from the beach and provides almost everything you need at a reasonable price. (I paid $125.00 a night for my three night stay in August) The rooms are small, clean, and adequately furnished. When I got there I was greeted by Mr. Hurley. He is a friendly mature gentleman who does his best to please his guests. The rooms and motel appear to be recently renovated. If you are looking to spend a few days on the beach, give Mr. Hurley a call, he'll be happy to serve you.

We had a great time at the Hurley's Motel. The staff was awsome. We have two children and they felt right at home. All of our vacation needs were met. The only place to stay on LBI is the Hurley's Motel!

Our total Hurleys experience was a tremendously positive one ...
Booking:
I looked on here, looked at their site and then decided to phone ... Mike the owner was so friendly, helpful and full of advice about the island as well - I called back the next day to confirm and everything was handled politely and a very friendly manner
we Arrived:
a rare grey afternoon in LBI - a little anxious that the place wouldn't be lovely - but from the moment we parked the car infront of the mauve, cheerful motel front underneath the flags and flowers and Mike welcomed us in we knew that I had made the right decision. We had an upstairs room overlooking the street and across to the ocean side - the balcony area was lovely, the road is quiet - this is the far far south of the island and it is so peaceful - the one road up the island narrows this far south and in the main all that goes past are people on bicycles, joggers, walkers, and a man in a wheelchair being towed by 4 dogs.
the Room:
was lovely - jolly decoration, very comfortable bed, the fridge was a bit loud but there was a fridge which was great so it really didn't matter, the bathroom was great and really everything was of a much higher standard than I have experienced in other American motels. Every query we had from "can we borrow a hairdryer" to "i forgot my English plug adaptor thing can you help" was catered to - the room was cleaned well each day and it was teh perfect place to unwind and recover from a day on the glorious beach or walking to watch the sunset over the 'lagoon' side
the Area:
we found to be perfect - Hurleys supply coffee and juice in the morning - so you could take a cup of coffee for a walk up the street and get a delicious fresh bagel from the shop 4 minutes walk away (the only shop this end of the island - a deli, a beach supply shop and a coffee shop all is one - then there was the National State Park - 3 miles of glorious dunes and beaches to protect the piping plovers and other animals - there was the wonderful Atlantic Ocean 30 seconds away and 2 minutes away the calm lagoon across to the mainland with lovely sunsets
amazing seafood at the Black Whale 5 mins drive north in Beach Haven, yummy breakfasts at Uncle Wills, clam chowder to eat and eat and eat for ever at Harvey Ceadars Clam Bar ... really all you could ask for
we found Long Beach Island to be a very special place and Hurleys at Holgate just made the stay even more special - so thanks to Mike and his son - and looking forward to meeting Marianne next time. We were amazed how few New Yorkers and even NJ residents seemed to know about Long Beach Island - and met no other English tourists there - so I am almost temped not to press save and tell people about this wonderful place - but they deserve the praise.
Go there - it is the best spot on the island ... and don't forget to wash the sand off your feet before you go upstairs!
I think it would be great for a family, we were just a happy couple, and most other guests seemed to be too - it isn't a wild teenage party palace - there arn't phones in the rooms but if you want Club Med or the Waldorf Astoria or a chintzy B&B you know where to go - if not - then GO TO HURLEYS.
things to look out for:
1 - the pair of ducks on the beach - so funny
2 - the Rockafellow oysters - yummy
3 - piping plovers - gorgeous
things to avoid:
1 - the Silver Mall - they sell small dead baby sharks in jam jars - I reported this to the wild life ranger who was furious they would do this on the Island
2 - sand flies - do take some insect repellent with you for strolls on the beach - they are horrible bitey beasts - and remind you are not in heaven but still merely mortal and tasty at that
3 - mosquito repellent if you go to watch the sunset over the lagoon side
things you will do:
1 - chill out
2 - have fun
3 - sleep well
4 - eat and eat and eat

We just returned from our fourth visit to Hurley's this summer and had another great time. This place is perfect for the beach family who enjoys being at the shore. Located just outside Beach Haven and right across the street from the beach, we park our car then use our bikes the rest of the time. The Hurley Family is so nice and very accomodating. They provide a clean, quite, and relaxing environment for all their guest. We only wish we could live there all summer. People who don't enjoy this place obviously are not true beach people. We'll be back down the shore at Hurley's for Labor Day Weekend and Chowder Fest, and we can't wait.

I agree completely with the other customer who noted that this place is a dump. I can forgive rooms that aren't worth $160 a night. I can forgive thin walls. But, what I can't forgive is an owner who is mean, mean, mean.
The proprietor should find a job where he doesn't have to interact with people, as that is clearly not his strong suit. For example, while checking out, we had a misunderstanding about a charge which was never disclosed to us. When I inquired further, the cantankerous owner insulted me and became increasingly bellingerent.
I've stayed in hotels all around the world from hostels to five star resorts and have truly never had a worse all around hotel experience.

Response from M1A1I1R1E1, owner at Hurley's At Holgate Inn
Responded 22 Aug 2006
We own a small motel, and some of our rooms have just one queen size bed in them. However, sometimes individuals still want that room, or if that is all we have left, they will still book it and order an air mattress at an additional price for the second party. If an individual has changed their mind about an air mattress, we either don't put it in or take it apart if it has already been set-up and remove the cost from their bill. Most of the motels on this Island request payment at check-in, and we do the same. However, sometimes a party arrives very late and we tell them we will see them the next day. In some cases we dxon't see them until they check out as we are trusting and really don't think people are going to run ou on their bill and we expect payment upon check-out. When an individual checks out of a room after a number of days and says they didn't use an air mattress and refuse to pay for it, we wonder why it took so long for them to bring that to our attention. They certainly couldn't have missed it and you would think they would want it out of the way We have a 2PM arrival time and if the room is ready before that, which it generally is, the party is more then welcome to the room. We have an 11AM departure and we never ask guests to leave earlier, and guests sometimes ask to stay longer. Sometimes we can accommodate such a request, and other times it is just not feasible especially during the peark season months of July and August. We allow guests to keep using the beach badges until 2PM and we do our best to make parking accommodations for them on the property. Once in a bluemoon we might have a guest who takes advantage, such as with the air mattress situation and they get nasty and I must admit that attitude can cause me to meet the situation the same way. We did have such a situation and yet we let the guests keep the badges and park on the property. Price wise I believe we are more then competitive for what we offer. Many of the larger places on this Island charge nearly $300.00 and above per night. For the $145.00 per night for a queen here you will get a private bath,A/C, daily room service, off-street parking, gas barbecues, an outdoor shower to use after you have checked out and a conversation if you wish or we will just leave you alone if that is your request. We will try and recommend restaurants and have even given people liftrs when their cars wouldn't work. We try our best but for some that is not nearly enough or as I could say they do not bring out the best in our family. Marianne Hurley

Last year we stayed at Hurley's twice; very close to the ocean, quiet, and convenient. There is a pot of coffee put out each morning also. The pot is so filthy it would need to be sandblasted clean. The putrid taste of the coffee (which we threw away), made us peak at the pot later - it had been dumped out, but left open outside until the next day's use. We had a shower curtain that had so much mold on it I thought it was a design at first. They did replace that curtain. However, the huge cobwebs in the corners were not noticed for the three days we stayed and had the room cleaned. This place is going downhill very quickly. What a disappointment.

We stayed at this LBI motel in May '06. It is located at the southern end of LBI, NJ and was quite charming. It is family run and very quiet. The rooms are very clean and decorated nicely. There are about 10 rooms so it is not intimidating in any way. You can park right outside your room and the beach is literally a few steps away. They have bike racks, outside shower and BBQ, and each room has its own deck table and chairs. We found the owners (Mike and Maryanne) to be very polite and friendly and would highly recommend staying at their motel. BTW the town of Beach Haven is a 2 minute drive or 15 minute bike ride away.

We have been coming down to Huryley's of Holgate for years. It has always be a pleasent experience. LBI is a warm, family orientated beach resort and Huryley's of Holgate keeps that tradition alive. I love the quite, relaxed enviroment of Holgate and being so close to the beach. At night you can hear the waves. The Hurley family has always gone out of their way to make my stay comfortable and pleasent. I hope to always be able to go back year after year.

You are provided with fresh towels every day when your room is serviced, however, we do not provide shampoo. We have found that most guests like to have their own brand, and every thing we provide in our rooms, over the tissues, towels, toilet paper, soap, just brings the price of the rooms up
