Manny is the heartbeat of the Jones Beach Motel

Manny is literally the heartbeat of the Jones Beach hotel. He made my stay so accommodatable honestly I’ve been at no offense but way bigger and nicer hotels and this has been my favorite stay I’ve ever been at. Kudos to Manny and in the morning she was great I think that was her name. This guy is such a saint he even helped this old man that fell on the floor twice lol

Underwhelming and outdated haunted hotel

I wish I had known ahead of time that this would not be a typical “hotel experience”. The pictures and description do not reveal that the property is not updated. So it lacks modern amenities. It’s very small and the site is amidst a suburban, residential community . The property was at least 3 stories high without an elevator. The stairs were incredibly steep and squeaky. My daughter fell trying to come down, so I would not recommend to families with children or physically impaired. The rooms are very small and no central AC/Heat. I haven’t seen a radiator in almost 30 years. I was afraid that the curtains would catch fire!!! I was not comfortable with how old the property was and it almost felt like the beginning of a haunted hotel movie. That being said, the property was at least cleaned. Manny at the front desk was so courteous and appeared offended that we would carry our bags by ourselves. He also gave helpful tips for navigating the area. The other employees appeared indifferent, and they barely spoke. What the property lacked in amenities could have been made up with in customer service, but it was a let down.

Comfortable for the most part, but the toilet handle did not flush properly in our room. The flapper does not close and water does not stay in the tank unless the cover is removed and the chain is pushed down. Staff is very accommodating and personable.

My bed did not have a top sheet it only had the mattress sheet and the comforter on top of that I had to call the front desk for a sheet that I had to put on by myself and I ended up discarding the comforter and just wrapping myself up in the top sheet that the front desk guy dropped off

Ambiance was quaint and staff very welcoming. While knowing the hotel was old and expecting small rooms and amenities, the beds were in need of new everything, not comfortable and the halls and rooms long overdue for paint and updating. The restaurant is one of the best in the region, old style Italian and steaks, high service level which further made the hotel pale in comparison. There aren't many hotels in the area for competition, but that's no excuse for a lack of attention.
