I read some of the other reviews, and was a little nervous. My wife and I were heading down to the Jersey Shore to relax and walk the boards. I was in contact with one of the private owners of a unit in the Homestead (This is how this hotel operates - each room is individually owned). The price was... more

Reading these descriptions I can tell you that the people didn't bother to do their homework. If you check the website, the place isn't trying to hide anything. It's a condotel not a hotel, its not pretending to be one. There is no maid service. You are renting a room for your stay. That being said, I was very happy... more

I read all the reviews before I decided to stay here. When I understood the concept of this establishment, I was able to enjoy the good location of where we were staying. This is an efficiency rental property, that is individually owned. Unfortunately, not all the rooms has been renovated like the others. This is an old building, and the... more

I made reservations early, based on the misleading pictures on the net. When we got there (two rooms, 4 people in each room) it took us over an hour to get a space in the parking lot. I was told there were 40 spaces, in reality there are 15 max. He tried to charge me 20 to park (website says... more

If you want a nice leisurely vacation with no service and no room trash pick up, no daily towels or linens, no maid service, no concierge, and no view except for old mattresses and bed frames on the roof as your view then don't stay here, i could go on but it only gets me more aggravated thinking aboui it,... more

My girlfriend and i struggled at the last minute (as usual) to find a hotel to stay at in Ocean City NJ with an open room for our two year anniversary. We decided to gamble and try the homestead hotel (The worst mistake we ever made). As i pulled up i immediately thought of the horror movie Hostel coinsidering the... more

You should weigh the pros and cons of this hotel before considering. If you have any children, do not stay here. The rooms are extremely small. Think of a standard-sized room in a name-brand hotel and then half it. This place is really only good for couples seeking a cozy little room. Overall, we were okay with it because it... more

My husband went with my son and his friends for his birthday- guys weekend out. Booked an efficiency apt. room that supposibly slept 5. When they got there, the room was barely enough room for 2 adults. 2 boys had to sleep on the gross floor, which desperately needs replaced. They had to use the same towels all weekend and... more

$250 a night seems like a fair price for the Jersey shore in early august. I should know, I live here. Looking for a weekend getaway we booked Homestead. Our first room was adorable but MINISCULE. Four 20-yr old girls could not fit comfortably in the size room they had to offer. The pictures on the website are VERY misleading... more

From the moment my boyfriend and I got there, we were greeted by the manager, who was kind and accommodating, even allowing us to check in early. Our room was clean, bright, airy and had a beachy feel to it. The personal care and attention we continued to receive throughout our stay made us feel at home. The location is... more
