The customer service was really great, the room old and smelled like dead fish in our room, we bought candles to help with odor, hair and dirt in corners and you don’t get cleaning services. Honestly the location was great and so was the customer service other wise I would have given this property a 0

Great rooms with lots of beds and space! Many activities and amenities. Close to the beach and within convenient walking distance of the boardwalk. Friendly service. Managers aren't always around and available to assist. Stairways and outdoor walkways might be hard to access for somebody who is disabled or who has trouble getting around.

Second year at Gold Crest for a week at the shore. This is a family friendly & relaxing place. The mini golf & table tennis are great when the kids aren't in the pool.The location is perfect! Directly across from centennial park where they have fun festivals & free concerts to enjoy during the evenings. Behind the park is the beach only a half block walk. The facilities & rooms are what you'd expect from a typical shore motel... dated & somewhat small in the rooms. A few minor upgrades would go a long way cosmetically. But if you're like my family, we only stayed in the room to sleep and were off adventuring at Water parks, the beach, amusement rides & boardwalk shopping only a 5 min drive. Walking distance to bike rentals and several playgrounds even a baseball field, tennis courts & basketball courts are just a few blocks away. The staff is awesome. Very friendly & attentive. If you're one who stays in the room more than venturing out then know that it is a standard motel with extra firm mattresses that may be a negative but they do have basic cable tv. Wifi was spotty so bring a hot spot if that's a deal breaker. Overall it's always a great week spent for family vacation.
