I was shocked at how rundown and dated the place was in light of all the positive reviews here. The location is wonderful (short walk to beach & broadwalk), and the staff very helpful. But I would not stay there again in light of how dingy and old the room, bedding and carpets were. More

Hurricane Irene and summer wear and tear, we experienced significant damage from the Hurricane which we addressed as best as we could restoring the rooms to usable conditions.

I've never vacationed in Point Pleasant, so I made sure to do quite a bit of research before deciding on a place to stay. My fiancée and I finally decided on the Amethyst Beach Motel and stayed from 9/11 to 9/13. Our first day was a little rough. We weren't given any instructions or login info regarding the internet so... More

My family and I stayed for 2 nights and rented 5 rooms. I planned this weekend months in advance and spoke with at least 3 staff members as well as the owner. I made it very clear that we wanted efficiencies so that we could cook breakfast. No one mentioned that there were no pots, pans, utensils, etc., in any... More

What a year, great customers all summer, bright sunny skies than Hurricane Irene! We are first and foremost a family owned Jersey Shore Motel who prides themselves on accommodating customers. I thank this reviewer for complimenting the staff and the location and find myself confused as to why we were not successful at accommodating her party as she is representing... More

Thanks for the feedback and all the positive comments, however please accept our apologies for the inconvenience you felt. Hurricane Irene truly tested our entire staff with many of us having to work around the clock for days to cope with the situation. There is no excuse for an employee to cause a guest to feel the least bit uncomfortable... More

Our family stayed here for 3 days, last minute booking, and we couldn't have asked for anything better. Five of us were in the room, not gigantic but no problems. Unbelievable staff! Front desk people were great, Housekeeping and maintenance staff were superb. All staff very friendly, personable, make you feel welcome. Clean rooms, clean pool, clean facility. Highly recommend...

Zero stars if possible. We went online to compare different motels/hotels and read the reviews. They must have all their friends and and family write them because the place was a wreck. It is one thing to have old furniture, falling (old dirty) celings, old carpet and chipped paint on the walls... Guess they don't like to invest what they... More

This hotel was far better than expected. We stayed in the "apartment". It was so spacious and clean. Huge kitchen area. The staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Pool area is great! I really enjoyed everything about Amethyst! I will definitely be back! More
