What guests think

At Village Inn & Suites - Smithville, travellers describe a basic, budget-friendly motel with many clean, quiet rooms and welcoming staff, in a convenient spot for Historic Smithville, Edwin B. Forsythe NWR, and drives to Atlantic City.

Rooms are simple and often dated, with sizes ranging from small and cozy to very spacious, and comfort that varies by mattress. Multiple reviews note musty or chemical odors and bathroom grime or mold, alongside occasional housekeeping lapses. Amenities are minimal—typically a fridge and microwave, no breakfast, and no pool or gym—so it suits short, low-cost stays over full-service expectations.

The room was clean, and daily room service was very good. Does not offer a pool, gym, and business area, but the rate indicates that. A great value for a place to use as a sleeping quarters, when all the extras of the big motels are not needed. Restaurants, shopping store, gasoline stations and convince store within walking distance. I will use this place on future visits.

For the price, this place can’t be beat. It is a bed, has heat, and running water, and the man who checked me in was pleasant. It is not new construction, and shows signs of wear. It has a WaWa and Smithville Village ( restaurant and shopping ) right down the road. I have stayed in better, but not for this price.

The hotel is very reasonable for the price compared to others. The man at the front desk is so nice, sorry i didn't get his name. I think the check in part is where he lives. The room is comfortable and nice. Plenty of hot water in the shower. Mini fridge and microwave. If needed i would stay here again.

Location is perfect for birders visiting Edwin B Forsythe NWR or folks heading to the Smithville shops. Room is large with microwave, fridge, coffeemaker and a table. With Wawa nearly across the street, that means you can have light meals in your room. Bed was comfortable. Wish there was a reading lamp on both sides of the bed. Carpet is worn but clean. I had to climb a flight of stairs to my room so if you are limited ask for a first floor room. Ashtrays on the outside windowsill was off putting.

Floor was uneven by ac unit - bathroom has no heat and cold. Room temp was difficult to maintain - I loved the very firm foam mattress but wife did not. Neither here nor there but I arrived early but was only allowed to secure room - couldn’t get key until after check in… get that - but could have still given us the key as we were on our way to smithville and it wasn’t that far from checkin

The room was clean and comfortable. The only issues I had with the room were, you could hear the people in the room above us walking around sometimes. Also, when we first entered the room, there was a strong pine oil scent that disappeared after a couple of hours. But overall, the 2 night stay was comfortable and I would stay there again if I am in the area!

Overall the hotel room was very good value for the price. The bed was extremely comfortable, the pillows were great, the sheets were clean and crisp. Nice large wall mounted tv. The cons were the walls were in need of painting/repair, one light fixture in the ceiling above the bed was broken. The bathroom was slightly dingy with dim lighting. The front door key card took multiple times to unlock the door, and the tv picture would freeze while the audio sound kept going. If you can overlook a few things, and only want a comfortable bed to sleep for budget price, this place is fine. 30 minutes drive from both LBI and AC.

Made this reservation by mistake, it was a bit out of the way for me. I immediately tried to switch to another motel, but management refused to make a waiver and held me to the reservation. I know it was “non-refundable”, but there was plenty of time before the date for the motel to get more bookings. Well, probably their issue is that not enough people book with them, because the place smells bad. The room was pretty clean, but there’s an odor of mold or mildew coming from somewhere. Structurally, the place isn’t great. Sound from neighboring units is very audible throughout the rooms. This place needs to be professionally inspected. One and done. Wont be going back there.

I have stayed at this motel several times previously. It is always a good, clean, convenient place to stay at a reasonable price. As a birder, this motel provides easy access to the Edwin B. Forsythe NWR. Also, it is close to Barnegat Lighthouse State Park and Stone Harbor Point which are other great birding hotspots.

This is a motel very close to Smithville village. It is clean and comfortable, but shabby in places (peeling/discolored paint). A coffeemaker is provided with complimentary packets of cream, sugar and fake sugar - but no coffee). Fortunately, there is a WaWa very close by. The price is reasonable.
