Price range: $72–$89 per night
Rating: 5.88

What guests think

At Cloud 9 Inn, travellers consistently praise the convenient walk-to-the-boardwalk location and budget pricing, but reviews repeatedly cite poor cleanliness, dated and worn rooms, and inconsistent maintenance and security, with service ranging from warmly helpful to frustratingly unprofessional.

Multiple reviews cite pests (ants and roaches, with a few bed bug reports), stained linens, and broken or non-working fixtures and amenities such as TVs and showers. The pool experience varies widely, from clean and usable to green or closed, and noise from other guests can run late. Overall, expect a very basic, older motel close to the beach rather than a polished stay.

This property was very dirty and ...DARK....The light and the Tv in the room where broken and did not work... The pool was not open and did not even have water in it :( when my girlfriend and myself showed up at the hotel all the beding was being sorted out by the empty pool along with the pillows ? .....I HAVE NO CLUE WHY ...I have never seen anything in my life like this ..it was so bad that my girlfriend and myself had know other choice but to find another hotel to stay at.. my girlfriend felt unsafe at this location. So no less did I pay for this location I had to pay for another...Both Expedia and the hotel should be ashamed of buting the nice pictures on this site when this hotel looks absolutely nothing like what the pictures look like ... I hold Expedia and the hotel accountable for having to pay for another hotel...

Room was very filthy broken down and bug infested. The dirty pool was open all night making it impossible to get a good nights rest before 3:00am. The whole property was littered with garbage.

DO NOT STAY HERE!! We stayed 1 night and it was ok, so we decided to come back 2 weeks later and it was terrible!! The atmosphere changed, The whole area smelled of weed including our bathroom smelled of weed really bad . The room was dirty, walls filthy, the extra toilet paper roll they provided was soaking wet , so disgusting! The door wasn’t secure enough when locked, ripped up ceiling in bathroom looked sketchy, rundown place and nothing nice about it! unsafe area, loud guests fighting and making a bunch of noise, hanging out by the pool you can hear people getting it on downstairs , just not a family orientated place to vacation at, looked like a crack house for druggies, if you want to encounter highly intoxicated people including their employees, place smelling like weed, shady people coming in and out like we witnessed 2 cars pull up from different states that were meeting up, it happened to be a pimp and his prostitute that came in and booked a stay, just stay away!! There are so many other places to stay at and this isn’t one of them!! Save your money and go somewhere else!! The only thing I can say that was nice was the pool looked clean and the staff was friendly, that is when they weren’t too busy getting high or drunk, other than that, you get what you pay for!!

This place is great. All dive Seaside Heights motels are kind of the same, but this has bigger than average pool, and a nice poolside grill used by guests to make BBQ and burgers (which I've not seen elsewhere).

The only positive thing is it's about a block away from the boardwalk. Mattress gave us back pain, shower had hair, shower rod was completely deteriorated, hair in the bathroom. There was a fridge and microwave. We didn't use the microwave so I dont know if it worked. Pool was mainly green. You get what you pay for.

My daughter and I came down for the night to go to a concert at jenks boardwalk. This was the cheapest hotel for one night and average boardwalk hotel just didn’t like that people were out at the pool until 1 o’clock in the morning being loud

This was the most disgusting room I’ve ever stayed in. I wasn’t expecting luxury but this was abhorrent! I saw actual bugs crawling across the floor last night. There was a fist-sized hole in the wall filled with a crumpled up brown paper bag. The mattress cover had a brown stain on it. The air conditioner unit was beyond filthy. It was so out of date and things were falling apart. I went out of my way to touch as little as possible. I chose this spot because the rating and pictures seemed acceptable for a quick one-night stay as I passed through town but my god… You should be ashamed for running a business this way.

It was very dirty. Our comforter and sheets were dirty, the couch was torn, the shower and toilet weren’t cleaned prior. We stayed because it is a zero refund policy. Doors are kinda sketchy also, easy to break in. On a positive note, Check in and check out was easy, but other than that I’d recommend the surrounding motels and inns which are similar prices!

The 1 night stay was horrible. The floors looked like they haven’t been swept or mopped in months. The smell of the room was nauseating. Hair in the “clean” sheets, mold on the fabric shower curtain, the mattresses still had the plastic on them. That was the only clean part. But sleeping on plastic was uncomfortable. Cob webs everywhere. Desk and night stand covered with something sticky! Looked like a crackhead inn! Do not recommend at all!

Had to find a different hotel and pay double the cost wound up paying over $500 to say for my daughters tournament. I will never use this site again because of this. Can’t trust it.
