Great location. Owners clearly worked hard. Mattresses could be updated and no forks or pots or pans etc anything in the kitchen to use. Safe location. Room was clean.
Very convenient to the boardwalk ! Also a breakfast option is great !! We enjoyed our stay it's your basic beach hotel and all the amenities...

We found 1 roach, the beds were very uncomfortable and the people above us were extremely loud at 1am. The additional parking lot was basically abandoned so we didnt feel comfortable parking there. The AC was very moldy. The staff was kind and helpful, and we survived, yet wouldn't return.

Affordable. Close to the Boardwalk. Quiet. Had a great time. The kids had smiles for days after the trip was over.
Probably the best motel in Seaside Heights. All the hotels are really run down in the area. I doubt you will find a better motel in the area. Great location, 1 block from the Boardwalk. The staff was great! Very helpful. The two gentlemen working during the day were running around nonstop taking care of the customers. Very accommodating! Room was Very clean. After reading reviews of many hotels in the area, I wasn't expecting much, but Sea Garden over delivered. It is an old hotel, like all the others in the area, but Sea Garden did a better job with maintenance and cleanliness.
The room had a full kitchen and no silverware, dishes or pots. The staff was rude over the phone. The room was dingy and looked like needed a lot of work, nothing there no hair dryer, no extra sheets for futon. Beds small and hard. People can smoke at pool so that’s all you could smell. No WiFi password given, the pool was nice and the only positive I would say except for people smoking right there.

The place is convenient located to the beach and boardwalk but the property is exactly what a motel has a reputation to be. If was very noisy as if someone was moving furniture all night. The pool doesn’t open until 10 am.

Location was great and staff was friendly. However the room should of been in better condition for the money we spent. Broken lamp shade, floor tiles ,stained ceiling tiles,broken blinds . No stopper in bathroom sink. Bed was terrible to sleep on. Outdated furniture and kitchen sink was all chipped up.
Our room was newly renovated which made the stay bearable. Apparently so newly renovated they didn’t have time to even hang a mirror. However, the pillows & mattresses were old & so uncomfortable & we were only give bath towels (no washcloths or even hand towel) which were also pretty worn & stained.
This hotel is in a great location to the boardwalk and to the beach. It was close enough to get around but far enough away that we couldn’t hear loud partiers on the boardwalk. If you are into a place for its location and don’t mind packing a few extra items to make it a pleasant stay (comforter, wash cloths, toiletries), it’ll work for you!
Great location, close to board walk and restaurants. Staff were friendly and restocked towels and toilet paper when needed. We have stayed in other hotels in seaside and this was by far cleaner and had a nice pool area. Pool was very clean. Top blanket on bed and washcloths not provided but wasn't a big deal due to reading on their website before we went. They have big gas grills of you want to cook out.
