Very dissappointing
Checked in and the rooms was extremely hot and a little smelly. The drawer front in the kitchenette was hanging off. Overall all the furniture was old and dated. Complain Ines and was offered a room which was a little better. The wi-fi was poor. Certainly wouldn’t book again

The person who checked me in was rude and very short with me. The room was not at all like the pictures. The pictures showed a nice bed spread but all that was there was a sheet. The toilet didn't flush properly and when it did it ran for almost 2 minutes. It took almost 5 minutes for the water to get hot and then it was only lukewarm. The carpet was sticky, like it hadn't been cleaned in months. There screen on the door was torn at the bottom and bugs were in the room. More than just from opening the door. All-in-all not a great experience and I won't be staying there again.

This is the worst motel I have ever stayed in during my entire life. It is a fire hazard waiting to happen. There were drawers hanging off the frames. The air conditioning was so loud you had to turn the television up at least 10 levels to be able to hear the dialogue and then turn the tv back down when the air conditioning went off. I will never stay here again and will post this review on every travel site I use. The one redeeming thing was it was close to the beach. I considered sleeping in my car rather than the room . The owners obviously made the outside look presentable but that ended when you opened the door to our room. The water pressure was horrible after all the other people left the hotel on Sunday. The room smelled and should not ever be rented. There were multi strip electrical cords plugged into another multi strip cords and the numerous plugs were all full. When we arrived there was no electricity to the room. The person at the front desk did not believe us about it this situation but when she came to the room, it supposedly was due to a circuit breaker being flipped. The bathroom was not large enough for 2 people to be in there at 1 time. This was a very disappointing vacation and I expected much more from a motel on wild wood crest. An older motel does not normally mean a terrible situation. I believe the website stated the motel had recent updates but this was certainly not the case in our room

The Bel Air Motel was okay for my one night stay, clean sheets and towels, walls appeared freshly painted, great location. Very small room and outdated. No overhead lighting, 2 of the lamps did not work. There was a tangle of cords including a surge protector plugged in to surge protector. Kitchenette had a damaged drawer. A dresser was placed awkwardly in a corner so it could not open the drawers all the way. I was charged $10 for early check in only to find 4 trash bags and the housekeeping cart being stored directly in front of the door to my room. Honestly would not stay here again.

Motel was very clean and the ladies that run the office were friendly and efficient. We were only there for a night, we are aware from years at the shore that motel rooms are small and not fancy but this was very clean and the pool area was very well equipped and nice.

I liked that it was near my bff’s place and it was reasonable. Didn’t have enough towels and housekeeping never came. No utensils, coffee was lousy. When I arrived my room wasn’t even ready, it was already after 3 pm. I think the price was way too much! Doesn’t even have a small appliance like a toaster. So so disappointed!

The staff were great, the pool was good the area was excellent! the beach and boardwalk was 1 to 2 minute walk which was great! Dinners and places outside the boardwalk you had to drive to. The best place we found was the Grand Rio to eat. Now the property, parking very very tight, you pull in you can not open the car door without backing out in the sidewalk that's how tight 4 or 5 places on side if you can get in them. Our room was very small they call in a kitchenette you could not even move in the room way to small. Now the shower, VERY BAD!!!! could not adjust it first so HOT burn yourself just a trickle the next day NO HOT WATER cold shower other days just could not adjust it cold hot did not know what was coming out FREEZE OR BURN FREEZE OR BURN!!!! Will not stay again!!!!!!!!!!!!
