Reviews of Sea Garden Motel describe a basic, older property with mixed cleanliness, dated rooms, and inconsistent service; while some guests found friendly staff and clean areas, others cited maintenance problems, worn bedding, and housekeeping gaps.
The location near the beach and boardwalk is a frequent highlight. Facilities come with trade-offs: limited on-site parking with overflow nearby, a pool that opens at 10 a.m., and mixed feedback on pool upkeep. Several reviews note uncomfortable beds, very small bathrooms, and noise, while breakfast—when provided—uses coupons for a simple off-site option. Expect a no-frills stay where convenience outweighs comfort.

The room had a full kitchen and no silverware, dishes or pots. The staff was rude over the phone. The room was dingy and looked like needed a lot of work, nothing there no hair dryer, no extra sheets for futon. Beds small and hard. People can smoke at pool so that’s all you could smell. No WiFi password given, the pool was nice and the only positive I would say except for people smoking right there.

When I arrived at 3:30 pm there was no one to check us in, I had to call a number and wait 15 minutes. The guy had a real attitude on the phone and in person. He said he was going to show me where the parking was, since there was limited parking at the facility. I unloaded my car, he was gone !!! I had to wait another 15 minutes for him to come back, after 4 calls to his phone, that he wasn’t answering. It was next to impossible to get any hand towels. I could go on for awhile, but I’m not. I’ll never go there again, the extra money I paid compared to the other motels wasn’t worth it.

Great location, close to board walk and restaurants. Staff were friendly and restocked towels and toilet paper when needed. We have stayed in other hotels in seaside and this was by far cleaner and had a nice pool area. Pool was very clean. Top blanket on bed and washcloths not provided but wasn't a big deal due to reading on their website before we went. They have big gas grills of you want to cook out.

Some atypical things you should know: (1) check-in "ends" at 10:00 pm, so if your travel is delayed, be sure to call the desk and ask them to remain open so you can check in. (2) the free breakfast consists of coupons for a small deli down the street where you can have either an egg/cheese sandwich on a roll or a bagel with cream cheese plus either an orange juice or a coffee. (3) the pool doesn't open until 10:00 am. (4) the railing leading to the second floor was quite loose. The motel's decor is dated, but it was reasonably clean, reasonably priced compared to the local competition, and reasonably close to the beach.

I would not recommend this property. The worse part for me was the pool!!! Picture looked beautiful but it looks very dirty all over the sides and the water looks cloudy. You have to bring your towels to office to get new ones, which at first didn't seem like a big deal but is actually very inconvenient. You have to Take your own trash out and ask office for new trash bags. The office is often locked and not always someone there. We had to request sheets for the fouton as there was none. I will not stay again

We found 1 roach, the beds were very uncomfortable and the people above us were extremely loud at 1am. The additional parking lot was basically abandoned so we didnt feel comfortable parking there. The AC was very moldy. The staff was kind and helpful, and we survived, yet wouldn't return.

The place is convenient located to the beach and boardwalk but the property is exactly what a motel has a reputation to be. If was very noisy as if someone was moving furniture all night. The pool doesn’t open until 10 am.

Probably the best motel in Seaside Heights. All the hotels are really run down in the area. I doubt you will find a better motel in the area. Great location, 1 block from the Boardwalk. The staff was great! Very helpful. The two gentlemen working during the day were running around nonstop taking care of the customers. Very accommodating! Room was Very clean. After reading reviews of many hotels in the area, I wasn't expecting much, but Sea Garden over delivered. It is an old hotel, like all the others in the area, but Sea Garden did a better job with maintenance and cleanliness.

Extremely disappointed I went to the front desk to tell him how I felt about the room and how it was showed on Expedia compared to how it looked in reality and the fact that the room didn’t come with any blankets still had sand all over the room so many under age kids drinking and doing drugs the gm of the motel was so disrespectful and dismissive didn’t wanna work with us or even try to comfort us to make us feel better about it so to avoid any type of argument I told my girlfriend it’s ok let’s just leave they honestly don’t care we’ll just never come back here

We were not told the room would not be cleaned during our stay. We had to bring our towels back and forth ourselves in order to get new ones. The rooms next to us were noisy through the night and the room was not as pictured online. It was a very misleading description and we would not stay here again.

Our room was newly renovated which made the stay bearable. Apparently so newly renovated they didn’t have time to even hang a mirror. However, the pillows & mattresses were old & so uncomfortable & we were only give bath towels (no washcloths or even hand towel) which were also pretty worn & stained.

I liked the two bedroom option. The room had decent space, however, the rooms are very dated. The bed frames were made out of wood, which is fine, but the frame was exposed and not properly balanced. My son cut his leg due to the frame sticking out. The bathroom sink had permanent stains on it making the sink look filthy. The entrance doors need better locks.

I would not recommend this property. The worse part for me was the pool!!! Picture looked beautiful but it looks very dirty all over the sides and the water looks cloudy. You have to bring your towels to office to get new ones, which at first didn't seem like a big deal but is actually very inconvenient. You have to Take your own trash out and ask office for new trash bags. The office is often locked and not always someone there. We had to request sheets for the fouton as there was none. I will not stay again

Affordable. Close to the Boardwalk. Quiet. Had a great time. The kids had smiles for days after the trip was over.

Great location, close to board walk and restaurants. Staff were friendly and restocked towels and toilet paper when needed. We have stayed in other hotels in seaside and this was by far cleaner and had a nice pool area. Pool was very clean. Top blanket on bed and washcloths not provided but wasn't a big deal due to reading on their website before we went. They have big gas grills of you want to cook out.

Some atypical things you should know: (1) check-in "ends" at 10:00 pm, so if your travel is delayed, be sure to call the desk and ask them to remain open so you can check in. (2) the free breakfast consists of coupons for a small deli down the street where you can have either an egg/cheese sandwich on a roll or a bagel with cream cheese plus either an orange juice or a coffee. (3) the pool doesn't open until 10:00 am. (4) the railing leading to the second floor was quite loose. The motel's decor is dated, but it was reasonably clean, reasonably priced compared to the local competition, and reasonably close to the beach.

Probably the best motel in Seaside Heights. All the hotels are really run down in the area. I doubt you will find a better motel in the area. Great location, 1 block from the Boardwalk. The staff was great! Very helpful. The two gentlemen working during the day were running around nonstop taking care of the customers. Very accommodating! Room was Very clean. After reading reviews of many hotels in the area, I wasn't expecting much, but Sea Garden over delivered. It is an old hotel, like all the others in the area, but Sea Garden did a better job with maintenance and cleanliness.

The place is convenient located to the beach and boardwalk but the property is exactly what a motel has a reputation to be. If was very noisy as if someone was moving furniture all night. The pool doesn’t open until 10 am.

No on site dining for morning gave a coupon. No person in front office most of the time. No hand towels. I would never book this place again.
