I am putting below what I put in my email to the hotel via the expedia portal: "Hello, there are a couple of things bothering me. First, your hotel is marked as an "Oceanfront" hotel and that is what I thought I was booking. When we pulled up, I see the hotel is one block away from the beach. I did not say anything when checking in as I did not want to seem like a complainer with my companion so we went about our business. The stay was generally ok but after getting home yestrerday and reviewing my reservation, there is nothing state on my reservation that said I would be a block away. I went and looked at all those beautiful photos online remembering why I booked this hotel, but yet I did not get any of that! no patio facing the water, no outdoor pool, no convenience of having a bathroom a couple steps away from the beach, nothing. yes, the room was ok. The next day when we went down the street to get coffee, I see you have another hotel there, on the beach. Why was I not staying on the Ocean front? We were never told about this at check in. Were there facilities there that we were allowed to use? Does not look like that was the case and yet you are charging us a resort fee. For what? you don't need beach passes after labor day. There are no outdoor grounds in the building we stayed and feel like it was a bait and switch. I feel like we got way less of a product than we were shown on your Expedia listing.

I was disappointed because the hot tub was broken. The mattresses need be replaced. The hotel is due for upgrade. It was fine for a weekend. Point Pleasant Beach is nice and the area. I wouldn't stay at this hotel again.

Our ocean view room was lovely, it was great having a sitting area with our choice of a room with a king bed in one room and a sofa bed in the other. Our only complaint is that the bed was hard and therefore uncomfortable.

Great location and Friendly Staff

Have stayed here multiple times. The location is key. On the beach and a short walk on the boardwalk to ALL that Pt Pleasant Beach has to offer. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Some of the rooms could definitely use a little more TLC for upkeep… (especially for the $ PRICE $ But I understand that it’s a beach front location, so wear and tear is a little more excessive. Overall I will always recommend this location for its convenience, pools, beach front location and its friendly staff.

The room was very disappointing. Housekeeping involved daily towel service and trash. No cleaning or service. Over sink light bulb out for entire 4 day stay. Toilet paper holder broken. AC unit loud and continuous buzzing. No table lamps. TV was small, maybe 21”. Litter outside room and parking lot. Pools nice and easy access to beach. Unlikely to return.

Don’t stay at a place you can’t trust

I don’t trust the hotel after what they did to me! When I got home I saw a charge of 77.12$ taken off my CC that they ask for if something gets broken or theft, etc I asked why last night to Felene and she said to talk to Jaime today 9/5/25 , I called and asked her why is she doing this, you know I gave you the money in cash? I said it out loud! I have cash is that ok? She took the cash and here’s the proof! She gave me change! With coins! And if they were so sure I didn’t give them cash why didn’t they call me in while I was there? It’s because they know I live far away and probably wouldn’t do anything. I will next week, my husband is severely ill. I’m a good guest and person and didn’t deserve that kind of treatment for a pricey room that was very small. That’s not the point. I’m a good honest Christian woman and wouldn’t try to slight them. But they did to me. They said they looked at the cameras, I’m looking at the change she gave me now. The nice thing to do would have been to call me in, show me the film while was there or just admit a mistake was made by Jaime the girl who took the money. Instead Megan the mgr treated me like garbage & I will never step foot in that outdated pricey hotel again except with an officer next week. Please be careful

White Sands.

White Sands is located on the beach with its own beach access. Located close to the boardwalk but far enough away to be quiet, going the week of Labor Day helped.

Carpeted rooms - this property is in the beach - terrible musty smell - recessed lighting - bulbs were out in a few spots including the bathroom lights - the bathroom fan was broken and sounded like a truck driving through the bathroom- the blow dryer did not work and couple of the window shades did not open.i also put a 100 dollar deposit for incidentals and I have not received f it back. Pretty expensive hotel for all these things to be be off.
