Very spacious room, clean, quiet, very comfortable mattress; in walking distance to the quaint historic Smithville village and close to great birding spots at the Forsythe wildlife refuge.

This place is a great economical option if you want to visit historic Smithville, the wildlife refuge or take a 20 minute drive to AC. Walking distance to Smithville. They did not have an ice machine or hand towels but otherwise clean , friendly, and updated. Would stay again

I have stayed at this motel several times previously. It is always a good, clean, convenient place to stay at a reasonable price. As a birder, this motel provides easy access to the Edwin B. Forsythe NWR. Also, it is close to Barnegat Lighthouse State Park and Stone Harbor Point which are other great birding hotspots.

The provided soap (two bars) was of such cheap quality that the moment I unwrapped it, it crumbled in my hand. Toilet flushed, but you had to hold the handle down.

This is a motel very close to Smithville village. It is clean and comfortable, but shabby in places (peeling/discolored paint). A coffeemaker is provided with complimentary packets of cream, sugar and fake sugar - but no coffee). Fortunately, there is a WaWa very close by. The price is reasonable.

Nothing special
Floor was uneven by ac unit - bathroom has no heat and cold. Room temp was difficult to maintain - I loved the very firm foam mattress but wife did not. Neither here nor there but I arrived early but was only allowed to secure room - couldn’t get key until after check in… get that - but could have still given us the key as we were on our way to smithville and it wasn’t that far from checkin

Nice front desk staff,I worked late and checked in at 10 pm, I appreciated late check in. The place is clean and good value. I would be interested if they would reduce nightly rates if I stayed here 12 nights a month long term? I am a physician who works at several hospitals in the area and will be in this area for a few years. My primary home is in PA and I commute 4 nights a week and stay here in NJ about 3 nights a week. The only thing I would suggest is that they place a sign about no loud noise, parties or loud phone calls after 10 pm, since the nice gentleman next door who was super gracious and kind, but talked for a while on the phone till 10:50 pm and I have another 5 am wake up call for another 24 hour shift. It is not the fault of the facility. It is just a suggestion. Thank you much. I am from PA and find Jersey Shore so expensive and will take any coupons and offers. Tnsmd

Last minute getaway to AC. Found this property on Expedia and reviews were decent. Outside property and room were exactly as depicted in the site photos. Room was dated but cute. What was not cute was the musty/moldy odor in the room. Luckily i had a can of Febreze spray in the car. We sprayed the room and the smell went away. Left for a few hours and returned back to our room. The smell was back and again came out the can of Febreze. Sprayed the room again, the pillows and sheets. Smell came back while we slept. Left the can of Febreze for housekeeping. Probably need to rip out & replace the old carpet, replace the curtains, mattress, heck do a whole property renovation and bring everything up to date.

The staff was very friendly, However we only got the place here because it came up under Smithville Stays . It was $129. a night for what said a luxury suite. When we got there the 1st thing you do is smell the mold right from the from the door. The lighting fixtures were plastic and broke with holes and cracks . The bathroom mirrors were completely rusted around the whole glass they look terrible . The shower fixtures were broke - the move right off the wall . The toilet isn’t bolted to the floor so if you sit on it it rocks back-and-forth. There is mold everywhere. Under the air conditioner they are running up the wall . We were very unhappy because what it says is not what you get . If we would have did a walk in the price says $58. It was my boyfriend’s n I anniversary so I didn’t want to ruin it . I booked everything so he wasn’t involved. He immediately wanted to get us a upgrade somewhere else . The only problem was by the time we checked in and had dinner reservations at the The Smithville Inn we would have lost the time and had to cancel what we already had planned . I got my boyfriend to agree to stay . The good thing is we only changed and left to start our itinerary . By the time we got back we had a blast out and also had some wine at dinner so we forgot our situation at the “ Village Inn / Suites - Once our night ended out we returned to the room - We woke up to roaches on the floor and in the bathroom - we told the staff they said they know . Thank you
