Monmouth OYO

The $89 price should have been a red flag. But I needed a last-minute place to crash. I worked as a home health social worker in one of the most impoverished cities in the country during the pandemic, so I’m not easily rattled. I figured how bad could it be? It turned out, very. It was by far the most run-down, dilapidated, dirty, creepiest place I’ve ever seen. Genuinely frightening. I went into the disgusting office, but no one was there. I tried ringing the bell and calling for 20 minutes, but no one came. At this point, I realized that I really didn’t want to stay there anyway and just left. Booking was unable to secure my refund but I don’t even care.

Nothing I never even got to stay these crooks stole my money and refused to acknowledge my booking

The smell and the bugs and insects in the bed and Floor

Filthy room that is poorly/not maintained. The owner/managment is incompetent and should not be running a motel>They're more concerned with who leaves the microwave dirty than anything else. Ironic considering they leave their rooms, property and office filthy. The office, by the way smells of old dog urine.
Their claim of a free breakfast is a bald faced lie. The staff don't arrive on-site until at least 9am and even if they were there earlier there's no clean space in the office from which to serve food.
The only good things I can say about the place are: there were no signs of any bugs and since it's such a dump there's no other guests to bother you.

Everything

Everything absolutely disgusting. Cob webs everywhere, the smell was gross had to shower 3 times after trying to stay for 1 day. Checked out same day because disgusting. The owner was nice, but doesn't make up for lack of dirt in the rooms. Didn't even use the restroom while I was there a few hours. Thank goodness I could open a window for fresh air

The room smelled like cigarettes. Under the cigarette smell was a persistent old funk that is hard to describe. At times it was just musty, other times it was strong like urine or something.

The pillows were disgusting, flat, years old. They weren’t pillows so much as flaps of material. They were stained from years of saliva.

The sheets were not clean, the bed was covered in some type of dog or cat hair., which meant everywhere I went while on vacation I was covered in hair

I had my beach blanket in the car, I rolled up some clothes for a pillow and covered with the beach blanket, I would not get in the bed.

I would ask for a refund if it was something I believed in. I just don’t do that. Ever. I slept there so I’m happy to pay. But this place tested my beliefs and very much made me want to cancel my stay and ask for a refund


I should have taken pictures. I have never really booked with booking.com before so I didn’t know I would be asked to upload pictures in the review. Wish I’d have thought of it.

The property looked abandoned and I did not like a thing about the it, I could not even stay there. The room was smelled like moldy basement, not really cleaned and did not felt safe to stay there.

Me cambiaron el hotel para uno en Belmar, en pésimas condiciones de sus instalaciones y de aseo, solo estuvimos un día por las incomodidades, me parecio muy injusto lo que nos hicieron porque reservé con tiempo y pagamos el total estipulado. Baño sin puerta , sucio, se ve que hacía mucho tiempo no limpiaban la habitación , demasiado desaseo nada comparado con las fotos del hotel original, cuando me avisaron del cambio me imaginaba algo parecido por lo menos, pero fue una desagradable experiencia.
