Stay at Oceanic Hotel in Cape May County

What guests think

At Oceanic Hotel & Barefoot Tiki Bar, reviewers consistently praise the unbeatable location by the boardwalk and convention center, while feedback on rooms, cleanliness, and amenities varies widely between recently renovated spaces and older, more basic areas.

Many like the pool with its tiki bar and the lively atmosphere, though parking is limited or off-site and the jacuzzi or pool temperature and cleanliness draw complaints. Rooms are often small with minimal furniture and occasional noise; some renovated bathrooms and ocean-view balconies are appreciated, but photos and views do not always match expectations. Cleanliness and maintenance are inconsistent, with recurring notes about stained carpets, weak water pressure, sporadic Wi-Fi, odors, and housekeeping gaps, contrasted by several reports of friendly, responsive staff. Expect a budget, location-first stay that can feel hit or miss depending on your room.

Facilities

Pool with swim-up tiki bar and on-site bar/snack options are a highlight, but the hot tub/jacuzzi and pool cleanliness or temperature draw complaints and the pool can be crowded. Parking is limited with overflow lots a block or more away; ice machines occasionally out of service.

The property is very dated and rundown. The room was renovated and clean but very basic. The woman working the front desk was great and a hard worker. The "free parking" is limited and we were not able to get a spot so had to pay the meter. The ice machines were broken. Clientele was sketchy. If you want somewhere central to the boardwalk, location is good. Our room looked at a brick wall so not all rooms have any sort of view. Definitely would not stay again. We were there to shower and sleep only. Otherwise we left town and went to a nicer beach town.

Dingy, every ice machine in the building was broken and the elevators were down at the same time, looks nothing like the pictures, got super sick in the morning and wanted to know if I could pay to check out late, they said the monumental task of checking me out at 11 instead of 10 was impossible and sent a guy up to my room to clear me out so they could intake the millions of customers desiring to staying in fleabag motels on a Monday morning. This place is an unpolished turd with nice maids, save your money and sleep in your car.

This hotel is within walking distance to the Boardwalk, directly across the street from the Ocean and close to dining areas . The Oceanic has a swim up TikiBar pool side and a bar below. The staff was helpful and polite . Very limited parking outside the hotel with another parking down the street, first come first serve and only allows 1 car with registration, making it challenging to find inexpensive overnight parking nearby. However, We would stay here again.

We got a "retro refurbished" ocean view room. It had a balcony which we were hoping for. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was relatively clean. The hotel is in a great location and was decently priced. We were in the part that wasn't renovated and it was overall a bit of a mess. The carpets were very stained, there was old food containers left in our room, and it didn't seem to be vacuumed before we checked in.

The property was dirty and musty, very, very outdated and very small. We literally walked into a room with a bed, closet, and tiny bathroom. If we could have found something else in the area, we would have LEFT. We will NOT be referring this place, nor will we ever return here. They need to upgrade and update EVERYTHING!!! If you've ever gone somewhere and was too ashamed to post a picture, well this was one of those places.... It was HORRIBLE!!!

Had higher hopes for this property but upon entering our room the door had to be lifted in order to open or shut it and my husband was the only one who could really do it. Bathrooms, floors and white towels all had black long hairs on them. Rooms needed to be cleaned more efficiently. The pool had globs of hair in it and was super cloudy.

Front desk staff was excellent, this is my second time staying here and it was nice to see the bathroom was upgraded and the facility overall was painted. I hope the next project on their renovation is the carpet in the rooms and throughout the entire facility, our room’s carpet was disgustingly full of stains and old chewing gum. Housekeeping did not visit my room once on the 4 days I was there. Overall, this is a nice motel, very conveniently located to all the boardwalk action that just needs to continue with the upgrades.

Very outdated and not very well kept. The pictures online are very deceptive. Definitely either AI generated or heavily edited. Room was very small, minimal storage and seating. Literally only a bed and an ikea night stand. Door to the patio was only blinds no glass so you hear all the street noise. Only good thing is that it’s close to the broad walk but definitely not worth the price and wouldn’t recommend or return.

I reserved a room, and on the reservation it said it was a room with ocean views and a balcony out of my window all you can see was a wall of the neighbors building due to being on the back side of the building. I was looking forward to the views and relaxing on the balcony. And the people in the office wouldn’t take accountability and said it’s because I used to Expedia to book the room. I wish it wasn’t falsely advertised

Room/bathroom/balcony were very small. We reserved a room with a queen size bed and received a full size bed. Took them all day to replace an old broken ice bucket. The toilet was so close to the wall we had to sit almost sideways on the toilet seat. Towels were old and beat up and some with holes. Door locks were extremely worn causing guests to slam their doors to make sure they were closed, disturbing the rest of the guests on our floor. AC unit wasn't fully seated in the wall. The constant smell of weed being smoked. The rug had a few big stains. Not enough pillows. The bathroom was updated, but the rest of the room was not. There was only one clothes hanger. We made the best of it and still managed to have a nice time. Our room was only cleaned once when we requested daily cleaning. Great location to the beach. We were in room 323.

The hotel is in an excellent location, across the street from the boardwalk and attractions. All the front staff were amazing and well accommodating. There were few cons about the hotel though, I booked a single room and it was super small. It’s a little bit bigger than an office space. Windows leaked a lot during a storm day, and toilet constantly leaked on the floor. The cleaning crew didn’t clean daily which is a problem with a small room because the garbage in room and bathroom start to smell.. The next day, I looked for them to ask them to clean the room and change the sheets, when I came back, I found that they just covered the bed and took out the room garbage, leaving the bathroom garbage and the night table stand dirty. The floor carpet is very dirty and old in the whole floor not just the room. I was told the whole hotel was renovated but it seems that my side was not and the other side of the hallway was. Based on the new room doors with digital keys.

Our room must have been recently remodeled. Freshly painted walls, laminate flooring, quiet air-conditioning unit. Tile flooring and walls in bathroom with a walk in shower. The shower head water was coming out in a trickle. We notified the front desk and within a few minutes the maintenance man came in and replaced the shower head. We needed 2 clean towels which we got from the front desk. There was ample parking at and near the hotel. The most outstanding feature of this hotel is its convenient location. Right across the street from the convention center, the ability to walk to the beach, boardwalk, plenty of restaurants nearby. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed the cleanliness of the hotel room. we enjoyed how walkable the hotel was to everything. The only downfall is I got this hotel specifically for the tiki bar in the pool and I was disappointed they can’t charge drinks to your room so you have to bring your wallet in the pool, which is annoying. The drinks are little and cost $10 which was a turn off otherwise if priced right we would have stayed and bought more. Also, the bartender wasn’t very friendly. The receptionist who checked us in went to answer the phone inside and said “ugh, why do people keep calling.” She was young, so perhaps a training in hospitality. The staff’s attitudes would make all the difference. Other than that, we enjoyed our room and how close it was to the beach and shops.

The place is filthy. The room is so small. Had no side table, no lamp. The mini fridge was disgusting. I had to wipe the AC off, which didn’t even cool our room down. No storage for anything. No hooks to hang anything. You can’t even put your knees in front of you on the toilet bc you’ll hit the shower door. No hand soap provided. You get two small towels, no extra TP or tissues. Our balcony door didn’t lock. It was so bad we didn’t stay the second night. Location is about the only good thing. The pool had a nasty film of SOMETHING. Bartender was miserable and incredibly slow. Please go elsewhere!

I have not written many reviews but I felt compelled to write one for this property, considering there are a lot of negative ones floating here... I stayed here at this property for 2 nights and everything was amazing. The staff was friendly, the room and the bathroom were clean and the atmosphere was lively. The pool, bar, Jacuzzi and the tikki bar were nice and I had a fun time there. The property is close to the boardwalk, good and diverse restaurants, shops, many fun attractions and that makes it super convenient. The staff was kind enough to let me park my car in their parking premises at no cost even after I checked out... With this, I was able to enjoy some additional time at the beach and I am thankful to them for the same. Yes, I hope to visit the property again... Hope this review helps.
