Trust Me..Don'T Stay In This Hotel

First of all, you have to pay a deposit for the remote for the tv. Secondly the bedding was dirty and stained. There was a foul odor in the room. The elevator smelled like urine. There was a hole in the bathroom ceiling where tiles were fallen out... I mean a huge hole. The bathroom was dirty, the sink had soap scum, you could see a build up of dirt on the floor, the towels in the bathroom were dirty and smelled bad, the toilet was dirty and stained, the tub was unusually high, which was very dangerous because everyone slipped when they were stepping out of the shower. The lamp in the room was broken. I would advise anyone to stay at a name brand chain. These places are conveniently located close to the boardwalk, but it really isn't worth it , unless your use to staying in a dump. Stay in toms river and pay for parking in seaside. I'm wonder how in the heck this place received the "good quality assurance rating " from seaside tourism, i mean how low are their standards? Are they just looking to see if the room had a door, windows, running water and the floor wasn't made of dirt?

How Disappointing!!!

This was our second time staying here. We stayed for a weekend back in 2003. This motel's service went downhill in the last 2 years because i was extremely disappointed this time. I booked a room over the phone and was promised a king size bed and fold-out couch. I received a receipt in the mail stating that we would be in room #31. Upon checking in, they put us in room #33 which was a double room with 2 full size beds. They told us they didn't have any king size beds left- well then why was i told i would be getting a room with one??? Also, there were no towels in our room and we were told by the woman at the desk that we would have to wait until the following morning for towels- so we couldn't take showers that night. She was too busy taking care of her 5 or 6 kids behind the counter so maybe she just didn't want to leave them to get up and give us the towels. The tv did not have a remote so in order to change the channels you had to keep getting up and walking over the disgustingly dirty carpet. My feet were black within minutes of walking on the floor and i actually ruined a pair of socks because they are beyond washable now. I ended up wearing my sandals in the room the whole time because otherwise my feet would be dirty right after taking a shower. The blinds were falling apart so therefore there were gaps where people could actually look through and see inside the room. There was no chain lock on the door- it was missing. Also the top lock doesn't lock- only the bottom lock works. No hangers in the room so i guess we should have brought our own. Also there was a smoke detector but it didn't work. I would never stay here ever again which makes me very sad because i enjoyed it the first time i stayed here.

No Toilet Paper?!

Ok,.. A bit nerviouse to come here in the first place but by booking a room so close to our arrival date we did not have the the choice to go where we usually stay, when we saw this list on trip advisor and it was # 5 ( we called 1-4 and nothing was available) we were less reluctant to book. When we arived and went into the room it was alright, nothing great, but it wasnt smelly or dirty and the sheats werent stained so we werent running out of there or anything. What was wrong was that the king size beds we were promised we fulls, there was a lamp in between the beds that wasnt plugged in and didnt have a light bulb, come to find out that it was just for decoration because there was no outlet in sight. The bathroom although very big had mildew on the shower curtain. Later that night when we tried to all fit in the beds and couldnt, so we decided we needed a cott and they told us they didnt have cotts but foam chairs that unfolded. Not happy with this but needing someplace else for us to sleep we agree, for them to only never show up with it at our room..a few hours later they tell us that they "ran out" they also "ran out" of toilet paper and said that the guests would have to wait until morning when a maid came to bring toilet paper!..how does a motel run out of toilet paper??!!.. Shame on you glendale!

You Can Find Better…

The glendale is ok but if you look around you can no doubt find a nicer place. The carpets (office style) are nasty!! I went with 3 other adults and 3 kids (all under 4), the carpets were soooooo dirty that our feet were black in no time. Not too bad if you plan on wearing shoes whenever your inside your room. The place is a party spot, its cool if your not there with kids. The pool is a little bigger than the bath tub...and completely overtaken by the younger crowd. I would not have been comfortable taking my 20 month old there, we got nasty looks from the people there when we went to just look at the pool! The staff were ok, the cleaning service could be better. Overall, it was not a horrible experience and it was in a great location, but I won't stay there again. Oh, we had plenty of toilet paper!

Management Be Aware

I stayed here for two days and my experience was great for seaside heights. Where i stayed has some serious problems that management may not be aware of. The carpets are absolutley a health hazard. They are so very dirty that they feel pasty and greasy. The efficiency we used had a very health/fire hazard leak right over the stove. We all know what happens when water hits a hot pan with grease in it. Someone can be seriously injured with a hot pot of grease and if this drip gets in the food, we have some very sick people. We reported it to the caretaker, and he stated that he would take care of it, but never did. The grease from the carpet made the kitchen and bathroom's tile floor very slippery where i actually slipped but did not fall. The bathroom was in good working condition, but floor mats are not provided. Kitchen was clean and refrig was clean. The windows did not have adequate convering where passerby could actually see inside and also in the bathroom. The pool is small and needs repairs especially the handrails. My sister came with me and she is handicapped and we had to help her into the pool because the handrails are too loose. It is a heated pool and it felt great. Management, you were very friendly and courteous, but your place really needs some serious attention. I will stay in your establishment again, but only if you repair your place and bring it up to health codes. Please do yourselves a favor and take advise and fix your great place before someone gets seriously hurt or even dies in a fire. Best regards
