“The Best Place to Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 9, 2012

I've been coming to the Bel-Air for over 20 years now. Everytime I go, it is always clean and the manager and the staff are so pleasant. In the months of May, June and September they do what is called Meal Deals where you can get Breakfast &/or Dinner for a very reasonable price. The price also includes your room charge. I have always had the best time as I know that I'll never have to worry about anything. Everything is taken care of for you and if you need anything at all, all you do is go to the office. Its so convenient from the boardwalk and the ocean too as its right on Ocean Ave

As you head off to breakfast, you put the please have room done and almost always by the time we get back our room is completed and done.

So much can be said about the manager and the staff that are employed there. My favorite part is that everyone is down to earth and so carefree...Remember if you decide to stay tell Sandie that Ron sent you, she'll treat you really nice, cause she loves me...

Room Tip: The rooms upstairs are larger and some have 2 rooms and also have a small kitchenette. Dishes, pots...

“"A Gem by the Water"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 1, 2012

When you go to Bel Air, you always feel very relax and comfortables. We enjoy staying at Bel-Air every year (Two times this year) for past 8 years. We will always stay there, Steve and Sandy make you feel like you are part of family. The room is always very clean and Sandy will go out of her way to make you feel comfortable and the extra mile to meet your needs. The New York Times wrote the Bel Air Motel is "A Gem by the Water" We already reserved our room for 2013.

“Great value”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 30, 2012 via mobile

We stayed a weekend here based on the trip advisor reviews. It's an older place but well kept up and clean for the most part. For the price, you shouldn't expect flat screen tv's or a modern look but for a nice location at a good price, it's okay. The other guests are very friendly for the most part creating a nice atmosphere.

Among the negatives are parking. The spots in the lot are super narrow and surely result in door dings. Also, you can't have more than one car and if you do, you will have to street park it blocks away. Though otherwise the place was clean looking, it appeared that there were mouse droppings on the top of the fridge and there was a smell of rotting right near it. I also witnessed a very scraggly looking cat run across the street with something wriggling in its mouth (a bird?) and run right into a room behind the office. This wasn't anything in the proprietors control but having a scraggly looking cat bring dead things into the building didn't exactly give me the 'warm and fuzzies' either. They advertise free wifi but my devices didn't pick anything up that didn't require a login. I didn't ask at the desk as it was late but this info should be provided if you advertise free wifi.

“Best of the Best”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 28, 2012

What can I say...This summer was our 40th year at the Bel Air. Our children stay here, my in laws stay here and our FRIENDS stay here. It's like coming home. Steve and his employee's welcome you by name and go out of their way to make you feel like your special. Especially Sandy,,she keeps the place running and clean. The rooms are always neat and the bathrooms spotless. There's free WIFI and the tradition continues with free hot dogs on Saturday during the Irish weekend. Our rooms are already reserved for 2013 and we can't wait to return.

Room Tip: All the rooms face the beach and pool area....I don't know...never had a bad room.

“Have not missed in 15 years!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 28, 2012

Always fun because we see the same people year after year. Steve and Sandy are great, attend to any need you may have. Location is great and something about the Crest, it hardly ever rains. Really! Great rooms, great pool, love the Tiki Hut. We usually go 3 times a year, but sometimes that's not enough. You can practically walk where ever you want to go. The beach is only a half of a block away, as is the boardwalk. Can't wait until Spring!!!
