The hotel manager and staff were wonderful, really demonstrated an actual concern to address any issues that enabled us to have a wonderful stay. The queen studio was a nice size, separate bedroom from the kitchen/living room. Would stay here again.

The Thunderbird offered just what it shows. A reasonable priced clean though dated room to sleep in with quick access to the jersey shore.
Josh, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A block from the beach, quiet and the owners are WONDERFUL!!! They are so accommodating and nice it’s unbelievable. I would definitely stay here again. The one down side is the bed isn’t the coziest but totally worth it.
Olivia, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

About 4 blocks from the beach.
Scott, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

The beds were fine. Parking was convenient. There were some flies and other small bugs in the room which bothered the kids. The bathroom was missing a towel rack (it had a broken one). The room was equipped with a mini fridge and microwave and small stove which was convenient. This was fine for a short stay and convenient location.
Shiri, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

It's ok, 3 blocks from boardwalk, room was clean, has kitchenette but you need to supply your own utensils. Np hair dryer, we stayed in room 1 ground floor,mattress needs to be replaced. Sagged in the middle and springs would move .
LOUIS, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We were missing the microwave plate and they immediately changed the whole microwave. The staff were extremely kind and regularly asked us if we were having issues and how we were doing in the town. Absolutely loved staying there and plan to stay there again.
Carter & Bryant, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very clean, nice room. Will stay again.
Tiffany, 3-night trip

4/10 Poor

The room was clean but it was very noisy. AC unit was extremely loud and the bathroom tub drain gurgled when other rooms would flush their toilets.
Dean, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very clean, very accommodating. I would definitely come back. Thank you
Justine, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The towel rod was missing from my bathroom. The queen bedroom door was difficult to completely close as it would get stuck. But there were no bed bugs and it was a short walk to the boardwalk.
