Sea Spray Motel

I travel to LBI at least 10x a summer and staying at the sea spray always exceeds my expectations. You will not find a cleaner motel on the island ! The pool and bbq area are spotless and the cleaning staff is constantly cleaning! From Trish at the front desk who is on top of everything from checking in to check out ! All staff are professionals ! Clean clean clean with a smile!

absolutely terrible experience. dirty rooms, pool was drained (but no warning about that before arriving), bedding was not set out and was still damp when we checked in, staff were not available during posted hours. AVOID THIS PLACE!!!!!

The Sea Spray Motel is exactly what my wife and I wanted for our return trip to the Jersey Shore. We were visiting friends for the 4th of July week from our home in South Carolina and their house was just a block away but full with their kids and grandkids. Starting back in November of 2022, when I called to make our four night reservation, I instantly felt that this motel was going to be the right place to stay. Upon arrival in the late afternoon the new manager greeted us at the reception desk with a nice welcome. He helped me out with a couple of computer issues as well. Our room was perfect for a beach motel. It was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. And it was quiet! The staff at this motel was so nice. I found myself chatting away with the ladies at the front desk. The cleaning people were very friendly as well and made sure the room was ready when we returned from the beach. We highly recommend The Sea Spray Motel for a real Jersey Shore Getaway. Thanks to everyone for making this a special trip for us.

The Sea Spray is located in a quiet area of Holgate. It is clean, has great staff, and a welcoming vibe. Our room was perfect for myself and my partner. We had an efficiency. We grilled twice, they clean the grills daily. The beach is across the street and the bay is on the other side. I used the pool twice, it's also clean with plenty of loungers and umbrella tables to sit at. They always asked if we needed anything and promptly provided fresh towels and supplies when asked. They are regularly cleaning the grounds so it looks pristine and neat. We came back this year after we experienced this last year and will return for 2 weeks next year. I cannot compliment them enough. Also, within walking distance are bike rentals, food and ice cream. Fantasy island is less then 2 miles away. Trish at the front desk was always ready to help with our questions and requests. We love The Sea Spray❤️😁👍👆😊

I have been a resident of Holgate for 6 years. Unfortunately this year, the beach patrol has not been able to guard all the beaches the week before Labor Day. One of the only guarded beaches in the town is Osborn Avenue. I loaded up five young children to find parking close to that beach entrance. There is no street parking on Osborn Avenue, so after driving around for several minutes I saw that the parking lot of the Sea Spray was nearly empty and there were no signs indicating hotel parking only in the main parking area. I parked as far as possible from the motel so as not to disturb the guests, and as there were over 30 (photo attached) empty spaces, I though there would be no issue. I unloaded the kids and beach gear and a man came out and started yelling that parking was for guests only. In the past, I have directed our overflow guests to the Sea Spray but I will no longer be doing so. (As I drove away I did see a sign away from the main parking area that parking was for guests only, unfortunately this was behind a bin.)

Horrible experience! We booked three rooms. All of them had a very potent smell of mold. You actually were able to see the mold! My daughter has terrible allergies and had a reaction immediately. We couldn’t stay there. We asked for a refund and they refused. They had maintenance “ wipe” the mold off. Mold is a serious health hazard and needs to be removed safely. I don’t think the motel was ever renovated since they opened. They still advertise “color TV” like that’s a new thing. The manager contacted the owner about our issue and he prepared a “statement “ that was read to me. He was never present at the motel and claimed that he had cameras with audio and he heard all of our conversations. He stated things that never took place in the conversations with the manger. I WOULD NEVER GO THERE AGAIN!!!

This was a very dated motel with peeling wallpaper, an odor of (?) and a bed that was hard as a rock. We had no option as we were in town for a wedding reception and all other locations were booked. On the positive side, the pool looked clean. The walk to the beach is right across the street. They had a ping pong table outside as well. Check in was quick, as was our check out. Location good.

We stayed only one night and had a great time at the Sea Spray Hotel. The rooms were very clean. The pool was amazing except for the different levels(stubbed toes) so you do need to be aware of them. The attached hot tub was added bonus. Water was very clean & heated! Restaurant was closed on Monday so we bought lunch from The Chegg & ate poolside. They supplied beach chairs, which we took advantage of & used the convenient water spray to wash off sand as you walk off beach. We would definitely return but rates will be going up since they are planning a renovation for 2023. Seems LBI is not a sleepy little island anymore (hasn't been for awhile) but still a great place for family vacations.

First, their annoying rule that kids under 16 are not allowed in pool without adult ... which is only enforced when a motel employee is on duty at the pool. (He was missing for 2 days.) Next, could feel the springs on the squeaky mattress. VERY uncomfortable. Lastly, no "hot" water ... only warm, and not even that in the evening. Apparently not enough to serve all the rooms. Still gave it 2 stars because it was immaculately clean.
