Never returning. Was a mistake. Didnt see room prior to booking it. Facing parking lot with noisy neighbors on ground floor. Longer walk than expected to boardwalk. Not recommended! TV wasn't even set up for cable. Place not well lit at night. Didn't feel safe.

5 minute walk to boardwalk. Good parking on site was free. Wifi worked sometimes. Good pool but cold although guests were swimming. Old tube style Tv and cable was just ok. Mini fridge in room and microwave. Beds are old as was room and bathroom. Bottom line: your paying for location. It works for a night or two if you... More

Recently stayed at Pelican Point over this past weekend (Aug 17 to Aug 19, 2012) and had a 2 night stay in the 2 bedroom suite. I do have to say that the pictures of this place make it look better than it is. The staff was okay but seemed a little unorganized. We arrived about 11AM on Friday (check... More

Well let's be honest, the reservation was made for four adults and when they arrived there were six adults, I explained to them that normally we do not allow six adults in the room but I would make an exception at no additional charge. With that I merely suggested that if they were all going to be using blow dryers... More

I stayed there for 4th of July weekend! It was the cleanest motel that I have ever stayed at. Very spacious and the people that worked there were extremely friendly! I loved it so much that I am going back for Labor Day Weekend!

Now the PELICAN POINT MOTEL, this place is a dump. The only plus I would give this hotel is the location,1½ blocks from the boardwalk. Everything else goes downhill from here. The rooms are dirty, with wallpaper peeling off the walls. The pool fenced area is so small that [3] sides are for walking only & there’s no room for... More

We recently visited the hotel this July and booked it based on pictures and location. We arrived and the room was tiny, outdated, and had dirty sheets and comforter. When we complained, the manager gave us a better room (but not much) and said we had to pay more for the better room! We managed to stay a few hours... More

Wow !!!! When customer was checking in it was apparent that they we're upset about something and didn't want to be in Point Pleasant before they ever go to their room. The room they were given was a room that was recently renovated and they said that the sheets were dirty. I immediately went to the room to check out... More

This place really is an unorganized dump of a motel. My girlfriend and I recently stayed at the Pelican Point Motel for a night on 9/17/2011. We were visiting Point Pleansant Beach on the weekend that happened to coincide with the Seafood Festival, so most hotels/motels were sold out and this was one of the few that still had availability...

I stayed for a few nights in August, 2011 based on good reviews indicating "clean". It is a very dated motel. We stayed in a suite on the second floor. Many other groups of people who stay there played loud music just outside the rooms for all to have to hear. Another group overtook pool area. My teenage girls wanted... More

A full refund of deposits were given to each guest who had bookings for Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. If the reservations were for any other night either prior to the hurricane or... More
