The quality of this hotel is awful, but the worst part was the customer service by the manager himself. He has the most absurdly strict rules. After spending all day on the beach, a group of friends and myself came back to the motel for showers before heading back out for the night. Six of us were paid guest at the motel, but two of our friends were staying at a different hotel. Upon arriving back at the motel, the manager informed us that our two friends, not staying here, had 5 minutes to leave the property before he would call the cops. We wouldn't even let them wait on the property while we just took showers and got ready. An hour tops. He ended up calling the cops on us and only told them it was ok after our two friends paid him an additional $35 each for "extra occupancy" in our rooms. Even if you think you could stay here without having to work outside his stupid rules, I wouldn't. The rooms are small, and the quality is terrible. It's even worse when you factor in the price and it's still a 15 minute walk to the beach. I paid less for a room in downtown D.C. at the Hilton. Don't stay here!

Stayed here from 7/29/12 to 7/29/12 for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised. I have been coming to the shore for about 15 years now at least once a summer and have stayed in different locations. Although many years back I experience some pleasant stays at The Belmont or The Coral Sands my more recent experiences have been awful. Both those Hotels have been sold to new owners it seems and have taken a huge decline. I was hesitant this year about where to stay. Not only is it hard to find a decent place but everyone has raised their prices significantly over the years (I think it’s due to Seaside’s new found fame with “The Jersey Shore” show). I decided on The Bay Breeze because the gentleman who I originally spoke with (who I later found out was the owner Mike) was very courteous and accommodating (which believe it or not I did not experience with my other inquiry phone calls), also the price was right. The location was great for us being that we were coming by bus from New York. They are located less than 2 blocks away. They are also close to the beach, boardwalk, the water park and the amusement park. The hotel itself was cute and clean (there are no 5 star motels/hotels at the shore). Complimentary breakfast was a plus. Nothing extensive but it was convenient to just stroll downstairs and grab breakfast whether you are heading out or still preparing for the day. Mike and his family were terrific! Everyone was friendly and pleasant. Mike always made sure our stay was going smoothly. I was able to get a late check out for a small fee, which was great! We were able to enjoy another few hours in the sun before leaving. The pool and the pool area were kept very clean. The only negative is that the pool is quite small and if I remember correctly only went up to 5ft. Fine for me but my teen daughters would have preferred a bigger, deeper pool. We will definitely be back here for future visits. Thank you Mike and your lovely daughter for making our weekend stay a positive one!

Mike & staff were awesome! The motel was nice and had everything we needed. Loved the complimentary breakfast in the morning. Walking distance to the boardwalk! Definitely staying there again next year!

Once again,Mike the manager made us feel like family! He had our favorite room at the ready and
greeted us immediately upon arrival! We had our customary "Morning Coffee" out front,and
discussed the days plans.We will miss that as the year wears on.When we left,Mike held up
his plans until he said goodbye to us.Then when we arrived home,Mike called to make sure we
got home safe.--"Mike-thanks again for a wonderful stay! We will be back next year!!!!!
