Atlantic Motel

John Hurler at first seemingly professional and nice, yelled when a complaint of no heat 12 degrees in the room was reported during the winter. His father immediately called to apologize + refunded $. Noisy alcoholic crowd in general. stay away.

I always enjoy my stay. The rooms are very clean.
Allot of the people that visit the beach or live in the area smoke excessively. Every room has a no smoking policy, the sign is on every door, but many guests still smoke. I cant blame the business for that, but I have only checked in once to a room that had a strong smoke smell.
Very close to the beach, there are allot of restaurants and local town nearby.
The area is really quiet and very chill. Plus the smell of the ocean is awesome.
I wrote this review because I needed the address to put in my gps and i saw all the negative reviews. This business deserves a higher rating on Unilocal.Hopefully this helps.

If I could give negative star I would it is 3:35 am in writing this, this place is dirty, noisy I have been not be able to sleep!

This is your standard Point Pleasant Beach Motel. That being said, I loved staying there. We took the train from New Brunswick and got picked up at the station by the Atlantic Motel staff driven shuttle. The room was small, but comfy, the AC made the room so cold we had to lower it at times. Pool was big and deep and clean. Nice, friendly staff. Free beach passes were essential, saving my whole family about 50 bucks. In addition, they offer discounted Jenkinson’s tickets. We saved 20 bucks off the amusement rides which came with coupons for free Aquarium for children, which saved us an additional 20 bucks. «I’m a Local Beachhouse Café» across the street was really delicious. We walked to the beach (9−11min), and Jenkinson’s (12−15min), and the Antique area (6−9min). I would stay here again.
One and only critique: Need to repave the parking area since people walk to the pool from their rooms and back.

After a long day in the sun with the kids; beach, amusement rides on the boardwalk and a huge dinner, I was not in the mood to hit the Garden State for an hour drive home. On a whim, I stopped into a few motels on Ocean Avenue (which runs parallel to the ocean boardwalk) to check prices for one night. In case finding a motel was not in cards, I drove in the direction leading to the Parkway which would take me home. From the places which had availability, prices ranged from $ 85 to $ 120.00. The prices were reasonable for a Wednesday night in June, but then when I started tallying up how much I had spent already on ride tickets, treats and souvenirs on the boardwalk and dinner, I didn’t really want to spend the extra money. Just when I was about to give up, I had already turned onto Broadway Ave. which is the last motel lined street before leaving town, I checked The Atlantic, spotting its neon «vacancy» sign. After explaining that I was tired and had two kids in the car, the man at the front desk gave me a break, a double room for $ 90.00 including parking and 4 Jenkinsons beach badges for the next day, valued at $ 25.00. The room was a small but clean typical beach motel with a mini fridge and freezer. The bathroom was new and clean. I would not rate this motel to be anything near what your would expect from a 3 star Hotel, it has very basic amenities and I could not envision staying there for more than a couple of nights, but for a spur of the moment accommodation, the price was right. The next morning we headed to the pool and later back to the beach. It turned out to be a mini vacation!

I booked a room here for Memorial Day weekend. I will say that I was pleasantly surprised that the room was nice and clean including the bathroom. It even had a cute little table & 2 chairs and a small little balcony with a small coffee table and 2 chairs. It was perfect for a Jersey shore beach weekend. Free beach passes too and only about 5 minutes to the beach/​boardwalk. The front desk help was very friendly and accommodating to give us a call when the room was ready for check-​in just a bit earlier than usual check-​in time which was very nice.
However, I was very disappointed that the cleaning lady failed to clean the room, provide fresh towels, toilet paper or soap. We mentioned on Sunday morning that we needed fresh towels and we were assured that the cleaning lady was to come to our room in the morning and clean up and replenish the towels etc. To our surprise our room was not touched.
I would have given 5 stars for sure given we had our room cleaned and fresh towels.
Would I come back in the Summer and stay here again — SURE, I liked the little room and the fact that it was spotless when we first arrived and the close proximity to the beach & boardwalk etc.

When you go to Point Pleasant for a bachelor party with 16 guys, and the organizer jam packs all 16 guys in 4 double rooms, what do I do? I ask for my own bed, which necessitated getting another room (in case you weren’t a mathematician). Fortunately, this rat trap had an extra room on Memorial Day weekend, but it smelled just as cigarette-​stained as all the others. Guests at this establishment follow the «no smoking» policy about as strictly as Antonio Cromartie does abstinence. (If you don’t know who that is, he’s got 12 kids with 8 women.)
I’m surprised I didn’t see any roaches, but I figured bed bugs would be guaranteed, so I didn’t even bother checking. Speaking of the bed, I think one of the protruding mattress coils left an imprint under my left rib. I should probably go see my doctor for a tetanus booster, and a lung cancer screen while I’m at it.
Also, why did the girl at the front desk insist on knowing the number of people staying in the room? Is it really necessary to adjust the room rate depending on the number of guests? Is that standard with motels? I’m sure everything I’m describing is not unexpected with most motels, but since this was my first time ever staying in one (and last time staying in one), I have nothing to compare it to. Pitbull should really remove this word from the «hotel, motel, Holiday Inn» lyric. I’m not sure I would go back to one if I were a woman, even with Mr. 305.

Stayed here for a friend’a bachelorette party and thought the motel was bearable at first. Bathroom was clean and not much dust. Went to bed and was woken up by rowdy drunk men outside our door trying to get us to come out. At that point I realized my face was extremely itchy. I happened to look down on the sheets and saw a small bug (guessing it may have been a bed bug but not 100% sure) that was filled with my blood it had just sucked. This happened a few more times until I got up packed my things and went to check out at 6 am after spending the night in my car. I handed my key back for my room and reported the bug problem and the response was «I’ll make a note of it. «I am now home with a very itchy arm and face still thinking bugs are crawling on me and eating me. I will not be returning. Ever.

Got stuck staying here after a friend’s wedding when the hotel she recommended was sold out. This place is a dump… it is a crappy beach motel that is outdated and smells when you walk in the room. Don’t let the water run too long when brushing your teeth because the bathroom sink does not drain very well. I am glad that we were only in the room for a few hours and did not have to shower in the dirty looking stall. The room is probably worth about $ 59/​night, but we got stuck paying $ 170 for a room with a full size bed. It is crazy that a place this crappy could go for so much, but I guess that’s what happens when you’re on the Jersey shore on a Friday night in August.
The only positives are that it was quiet and checking in and out was a breeze, but I would not look to stay here again.

Booked this motel very last minute (late thursday night to arrive on Saturday). They had availability and the pricing wasn’t HORRENDOUS, especially not for a last minute weekend booking at the Jersey Shore in August! I selected it because they include free beach passes and featured a beach shuttle.
When we arrived, my wife and I were pleasantly surprised. The motel was older, but in decent shape (I hear they had some effects from SuperStorm Sandy but I do not know the extent). Most of all it was clean and comfortable. The mattress was pretty hard, but not unsleepable. My main draw back was that as a bigger guy, I found the stand up shower stall (no tub) to be cramped.
Parking was not an issue and the staff was pleasant and friendly. We utilized the beach shuttle and on one day the driver was one of the brothers who own the motel. He was extremely friendly and accommodating, dropping us off a spot other than where they normally go on the North Beach, Jenks at the Inlet. The 2^nd day we went to this area and liked it so much better than the more crowded beach at the main Jenkinsons Pavilion. It also didn’t hurt that the bathroom lines were much shorter.
Long story short, stay here. Park your car for free, easily $ 50 on a busy saturday at the beach lots, take the shuttle and use your free beach passes (again, saving you money. Approx $ 9 pp on a weekend), stock up on food/​drinks at the 7 – 11 just up the road, and enjoy. This hotel was a great value and I will stay again.

Cleanliness, size of room and location are rock bottom. view from «balcony“was to a truck parking lot with idling large rigs. a/​c did not work, room was dark and extremely hot. bed/​sheets were not clean. location is not anywhere within walking distance to any beach (I guess unless you are Usin Bolt).potholes in parking lot made us fear the worst upon arrival and it turned out to be true. we ended up not staying at this horrible motel and returned the key asking at least for a refund for 1 of 2 paid nights and even that only in case they end selling the 2 night (i.e.we were extremely accomodating), response at the front desk:“we don’t do refunds».I said this motel is underwhelming to say the least and the clerk answered in a «do not care“attitude shrugging her shoulders. i responded we don’t do dumps and left it at that. will try to get a refund from AMEX as they clearly misrepresented the facility on their website. writing this review to stop them ripping off customers. if you are looking for a rock bottom truck stop this might be your choice. unfortunately the prices are not corresponding at over $ 200/night.maybe you can get an hourly rate? stay away under all circumstances …

I was looking for an inexpensive (but clean!) motel in Point Pleasant for a wedding weekend. Most of the motels have a two-​night minimum during the summer and I wanted something affordable. I found the Atlantic Motel and they had a reasonable $ 150/​night rate for a double bed on Friday & Saturday night.
If you book online you receive a 5% discount. I was waiting to hear back from my boyfriend before booking it and when I was able to book it later on that evening, the last room with a double bed was taken. I had no choice but to book the Queen bed, which was a total of about $ 60 more expensive. I called and spoke to the front desk and let them know that I wanted to downgrade to the double room if one opened up. They told me to put it in the reservation notes which I did.
The day before leaving, I checked the availability for 1 double bed and found that one was open. I called the Atlantic immediately to change my room. I explained the situation again and said that I wanted to downgrade. The guy I spoke to was a little irritated at my request. He asked me why I’d want to go from a Queen to a Double and I explained to him that it was cheaper. He said he found the room I was talking about and told me it was a smoking room. I said that was fine. (My boyfriend smokes so I didn’t think it would be a big deal.) Once I hung up, I started to panic that the room would stink like smoke the whole time and be grungy and yellowed. (I am the definition of a worry wart.) I ended up calling back (I told the guy I was sorry for being annoying.) I asked him if checking in late that Friday night would be a problem and he was all around super annoyed to be dealing with me. I get it, I’m not a huge people fan either but I was being super nice and after all, he is in the hospitality industry. I also told him he didn’t have to bother switching the room if he didn’t do it already (like I said I was panicking in my head) he huffed and told me that it had already been done and isn’t that what I wanted. I said, «Yes, yes. Don’t worry» and hung up.
Well, I am very happy that I moved into the double despite my reservations about the smoke. I got to the motel to check in (the man there at night was SO nice) and went to the room to see a huge no smoking sign plastered to the front door. I guess the guy I spoke with the day before had attempted to steer me away from the double bed and get me to keep my more expensive Queen bed by telling me it was a smoking room. I was a little unhappy that he tried to deceive me especially since I was so worried about the room after I was told it was smoking room.
The room was very clean and smelled fresh as could be. The air conditioner worked great. The bathroom was nice and big, perfect for a girl that needs to get ready for a wedding! There was a nice little table and chair set inside the room and a fridge. They also had a table and chair set outside each room. I didn’t use the pool or go see it so I can’t comment on that. They had free Wi-​Fi too which is great. The only complaint I have is that the bed was very, very hard.
The place is three blocks from the beach but there is a free shuttle and free beach passes. The owner of the place drove us one day, he was also VERY nice.
I think I met the kid who was acting irritated when I called. He was nice when I met him at the desk to ask for an iron (also a plus that they had one!). We made small talk for a moment about his foster dog which was behind the desk and a pit bull (I love pit bulls!). Maybe he was having a bad day when I first spoke to him but he turned out to be okay.
The place is in walking distance to 7-​Eleven, a bar, a fishing place, and has a delicious breakfast café across the street. All in all, I was extremely pleased with my stay here and would definitely come again!

Very clean. The owners were friendly, and super helpful! There is allot of parking, and the pool is a decent size. This hotel isn’t the closest (there are 3 more hotels on the way to the beach) But its not a long walk, maybe 10mins tops. I liked this place, it was quiet! 10mins from the beach, 3min from ⁷⁄₁₁ what more could you ask for!
The nightly rate was way more if you booked in advance, i wasn’t a huge fan of that. We paid about 240 ish for 3days/​2nights. Every time i looked at the sign that said nightly rate 45 $, a little bit of steam came out of my ears.
I did like the free beach passes, and super late check out option for 20bucks more. We were able to leave the room at 5pm rather than 11. This gave us an extra beach day, whats better than that? Worth a stay!
