We loved the location 8-10 mi from LBI. Private, beautifully decorated landscape around the huge clean pool, with lots of nice lounge chairs! The room was clean, the bed was comfy and bathroom was clean. The only problem we had was when we went out on our lanai to relax when we went to go back I. The room the door was locked! Thank goodness we had a cell phone out there to call the front desk. They came and threw an extra key up to us! It was pretty funny. But maybe put a sign on that door stating that the door automatically locks when closed. Will definitely stay here again. Great value for your money.

The lanai door automatically locks when closed. It’s not that I don’t like that, great for safety. but there should be a sign stating that.

Cleanliness, pool, proximity to LBI and proximity to places to eat and Planet Fitness gym. Didnt know what to expect having read previous reviews. However, this place exceeded my expectations. Tina at the front desk was awesome. She was so sweet and accommodating. The price point was perfect considering it's proximity to Surf City LBI which is less than a 25 min drive from here! The Inn was very clean and nice looking upon arrival as was our room and it smelled really good. Great AC as well. There is a small blowdryer, iron/ironing board, mini fridge and microwave in the room as well as a small coffee maker and toiletries, i.e bodywash, lotion, shampoo, conditioner and even makeup remover towlettes and shower cap. Pillows weren't comfy which is a minor inconveniece for the price point and everything else you get here. The mattress is firm, which I like, but may not be for everyone. The pool was really big and very clean with nice lounge chairs/furniture. The landscaping was really pretty too and the rooms have small balconies, another plus. I will definitely be back with friends again!! Dont hesitate to book a room here. It is just behind a small shopping plaza and truly a hidden little gem.

Pillows need to be fluffier.

Wasn't sure about it at first when we pulled because it is set back behind a strip mall but that quickly changed. The Inn is quite quaint. People had mentioned previously it wasn't a good place, but I have a feeling they were referring to the old place. Blue Creek Inn is nicely renovated and so clean / fresh. The toilet was sealed sanitized. Bed was so comfortable.

The room could use more lighting and the bar soap provided doesn't rinse off well.

Room was clean and didn't have a moldy smell to it like other reviews. They had toiletries in case you forgot your own. There is an iron and ironing board, microwave and small refrig.

Bed wasn't very comfortable. Hair dryer didn't work. They had to let me into another room to use the hair dryer. The doors don't exactly close tightly. It would be easy for someone to break in. The tap water smelled like sulfur so I didn't attempt to make coffee there. That's no fault of theirs though. The TV wasn't the easiest to work. It worked when we got there, the next morning it wouldn't go on.

Pleasant well kept clean. Great to use Keurig.

The lighting in the room is poor. Could use a ceiling light/ceiling fan & light. Or maybe wall sconces. Entrance is dark, bathroom is too dim. Lighting in room is dim with ALL the lamps on. Guests should have an extra roll of toilet paper & kleenex on shelf. Plastic garbage bag liners in the bottom of the waste baskets.

It was close to Manahawkin, NJ where we attended our annual family reunion. My husband and I used the pool on Friday and Saturday evenings. The pool and area around the pool is very nice. This hotel is certainly a well kept secret while visiting the Jersey Shore.

Everything was perfect. We hadn’t stayed at this hotel in two years. It appeared to me that the lobby and room had been updated.

This location did not have breakfast but did have 24 hour coffee. Staff was friendly and room swas clean.

The room was very dark. The lamps were not bright enough. We had to put every lamp on to get enough light. The coffee pot in the bathroom was on the opposite side of the counter from the outlet. To use it you would have to drape the cord over the sink and the cord was very short a real safety hazard. You could not bring the coffee pot over to the table in the bedroom because there wasn't an outlet close enough. My husband had to go to the lobby for coffee.

Cute little hotel near the NJ shore. Recently renovated. Very clean. Had a nice room on the ground level. Parking was easy - nice big lot. Stayed on a Thursday night so everything was pretty quiet. Pool looked nice, but didn't use. Very friendly front desk staff. Nice price for a short drive to LBI. Would absolutely stay here again.

No complaints

It’s a family owned boutique hotel that is located within a plaza that had everything I needed close by. The room I had was clean, functional and comfortable.

I liked everything I experienced. I could have stayed at a fancier hotel but, you can’t beat this property for value (and I am well-travelled throughout North America … to 40 states and 6 of the 10 provinces in Canada and Europe … 9 countries).

An excellent motel for budget travelers — the facilities are new, very clean and functional. The beds are comfortable, the A/C system in the room is quiet and rooms equipped with coffee maker, fridge/freezer, and microwave. The facility is set behind a strip mall; there is no road noise. Rooms are adequately sound insulated from each other. (Seasonal outdoor pool available during summer.)

There is no signage/lighting on Route 9 that indicates the access points to the motel. It is only really an issue at night. Actually it is pretty interesting that the motel is hidden from the road and seems to rely on customers booking in advance.
