Pros:

If I could I would give 0 stars and I will never try to plan an event here again. I was trying to book this venue for my baby shower, and for days I tried to track down their event manager Dorina and get an answer about availability (my event is during peak summer). After several unanswered Calls, emails, and texts. I was finally able to get confirmation that they had my date. After agreeing to put down a deposit to keep my date, I was ghosted. No information was provided on how I would be able to give my deposit and every time I call this business trying to get an answer or connect with Dorina, I am told to give my name/number and she will get back to me, I have never once been called back. I have never dealt with a more unprofessional or unorganized planner or venue and I am amazed anything gets done.

Would not stay there again. Was not worth the price.
Pros:

It was centrally located to where we needed to be. We arrived early in the day and were able to check in at that time. The waiter at the pool was excellent and came to us and asked if we wanted anything.

Cons:

At check in, I just provided my name and was given room keys. No confirmation via valid ID was done. The room itself appeared clean, but for being a newly renovated room there was some damage. The TP holder was sliding down the wall, the towel holder had marks as well as various spots within the room. The shower also leaked all over the floor while using and no bathmat was provided. The cabinet that held the mini fridge has seen better days. The light switches on the wall did nothing for the lights and because we were an obstructed pool view with a pathway out our window we could not open the blinds to let light in, so it was dark. The pool area is nice, but the pool itself needed to be cleaned better. There is also no elevator and with a broken foot, it was difficult to get up and down the stairs. For the price per night, I expected much better.

We will return.
Pros:

First, I would definitely return. We loved our room overlooking the pool & spa. But there was only the outdoor eating (restaurant under construction) and the breakfast had coffee but not much else. When we found out the hotel was from the 1920's we realized why there was no elevator and some of the other older elements.

I look forward to returning and seeing the updates in place.
STAFF IS AWESOME, all the desk support and entire crew.

It was a great gateaway but I'll never will stay there again
Pros:

what I like was that the pool was big and they had music and bar near the pool. It was close to the beach. easy excess to the room.

Cons:

here wasn't much of a breakfast compared to the cost of the rooms they charged. There was only cereal single serve, small apples and small oranges. they on had dansish and orange joice from cartain. The beds was hard and I had back pain from sleeping on the bed.

I would not stay there again. The front desk was just a hole and you couldn't id it as a front and
Pros:

It was the worst I have seen. The room was messy. I wood not eat there or eat the food. Which which there was not much of. I went to get a tea bag and there wasn't any. Staff went to get them and the next day the box was just thrown on top of something

Cons:

The bed was hard and had lumps in it. For $350 a night it was very unimpressive. It needs updating. There was only one chair outside so 3 people could not sit outside.

Pros:

The staff were excellent and we needed a place to stay in Spring Lake

Cons:

The rooms are old. The air conditioner was extremely loud when operating. The location is close to the street so you hear loud voices all night.

Felt like a red roof inn once inside the room - very disappointing
Pros:

Not much - pics on website are deceiving. The two girls at the front desk were lovely. The shower was nice in the room. That is it.

Cons:

First off, the fake flowers everywhere are hideous when you look at the chandeliers. We were scolded by one of the staff members for taking a piece of candy out of a dish. We were awakened at 3 AM by drunken men in the room next-door and were unable to go back to sleep for two hours because of how loud and obnoxious they were. We thought we would be offered at least some sort of a refund off of our credit card, but we were not. The room felt very Econolodge/red roof inn like in decor. It looks nothing like the pics on the website. Very disappointing. Would not return.

Avoid if possible
Pros:

Room was in very poor condition. Plywood hard mattress, no coat hangers, bathroom had no shower mat, nor towel racks, pedestal sink with no room for toiletries. Also very loud fan that could not be cut off without cutting off only light. Toilet was running and when reported to front desk nothing was done. All this for $240 a night.

More money, less to like
Pros:

I’m guessing the place changed hands because we didn’t see the owner anywhere. There have been renovations & those horrible old “keys” that looked like a cross between a domino & a credit card have been replaced by regular key cards. You can also get a wrist band which may be easier for kids.

The lobby bar was never opened while we were there. We used to be amused by the senior happy hour raging in full force when we checked in. We enjoyed grabbing a night cap upon our return to the property.

They paved the parking lot & upgraded the bathrooms but it's still an old Jersey shore motel. The mattresses are hard as rocks. I probably could have slept in the newly repaved parking lot with the same level of discomfort. The shower head was better. It was hard to use the shampoo, conditioner & soap; the bottles may have been almost empty but it took a lot of hands strength to get anything to come out. There was no complimentary lotion. The full sized bath sheets were a nice upgrade.

Breakfast used to be wonderful, delicious, plentiful & filling. Now it was cold bagels or stale cereal, lukewarm coffee/ tea & only one kind of juice. It’s now served in the little room between the dining room & the bar which previously seemed like storage. The furniture was arranged to all face the same way, like a theater, not a restaurant. It was so sad.

The prices doubled but the hospitality disappeared. If I’m going to pay through the nose I might as well go to a B&B but there seem to be fewer of them in Spring Lake; many seem to have reverted to single family homes which is a shame.

Worst room ever!!
Pros:

Worst room I ever stayed in. Dirty floors, cobwebs, stains on sheets. For the prices they charge, I’d rather stay at motel 6.

Perfect for what we were looking for
Pros:

Location was great, room was clean and comfortable. The staff were very pleasant and accommodating. We arrived later than expected and the communication prior to arriving was excellent. Pool area was large and clean, and they had plenty of seating and fresh towels available.

Cons:

Walls are paper thin, and you could hear the (very loud) TV from the adjoining room and people talking. The room was recently updated but still needed some finishing touches.
