Reviews for Bristol Plaza Motel

Review 1:We got a room overlooking the ocean which was so nice. The staff were very accommodating with any questions we had. There were several good restaurants in the area. We like to vacation in September when the rates are lower and the crowds are gone.

Review 2:nothing it was all very excellent

Review 3:plasma, kitchen with stove & oven, 2 beds and pullout, modern bathroom, ocean view, pool, deck, bbq grilles ..... great deal for the $$$

Review 4:Rooms need to be updated. Dust behind furniture and beds and windows. Front door of room needs to be sealed better cracks all the way around. Wifi hardly ever worked in room and sometimes didn't work on patio.

Review 5:The location is great. The pool area is kept nice. I like that the bedroom was separate from the living room area. Staff always supplied more than enough towels.

Review 6:You couldn't feel the A/C in the bedroom (one unit in the front), the pull out couch was very uncomfortable, and the overall room was pretty dated

Review 7:Location and friendly staff

Review 8:The WiFi didn't work. A coffee maker was provided, but there was no convenient place to plug it in or even a small place to set it down. We ended up plugging it in under the clothes rack and setting it on a padded kitchen chair. Refrigerator and microwave worked well, but are very old and need updating.

Review 9:It was conveniently close to the beach. Although the place is old the room seemed to be clean and the bathroom was updated. The heated pool was very nice! We didn't use the barbeque grills, but they looked new and clean and I liked having that option. We are used to staying in nicer places, but overall it was a nice stay and I would probably stay here again. I would feel comfortable recommending this place to anyone who I thought wouldn't mind the few things that I mentioned and wanted to save some money.

Review 10:my boyfriend cant be around dust... he woke up every morning with puffy eyes because the room was dusty.... Also the door knob to our room wont lock all the time we had to fool with it to get it locked.. just needs to be replaced

Review 11:our room was water front that was the best part. with the amount of people there it was very quite.

Review 12:Parking spaces were too close to each other, hardly enough room to open car door. Lucky if you have a four door. 2 door cars will have a hard time opening the door.

Review 13:Staff very friendly and helpful. Allowed us early check-in at 1:00

Review 14:Rug was worn and stained,shower head was not working properly,could have been cleaner

Review 15:staff courteous and friendly,private balcony was great,good view,comfortable bed

Review 16:the only complaint I have is not enough outlets --but that works out if you want to go off the grid for a couple of days again

Review 17:loved the overall feel of the place. from check in to check out. Everyone was helpful and friendly. Loved the staff...from the Ladies at the desk to the pool cleaner. Old fashioned hotel..nothing fancy but nice and quiet. Best thing was, you never heard anyone walking above or below you.

Review 18:Beds too small room too small and balcony too small and ac unit throws too much heat when sitting outside. Pool and deck area not appealing looking and people smoking unpleasant and walking area tight with people sitting outside their units hard to get by.

Review 19:Location

Review 20:Free WiFi is offered but the connection is extremely poor, if any.

Review 21:My family and I have been staying at the Bristol for the past 5-6 years and we love the location, the friendly and very attentive staff. And we love the exterior remodel that was much needed after superstore Sandy.

Review 22:The shower was dangerous because the water would change in split second from normal temperature to scolding hot temperature and electric outlets are falling out of the wall.

Review 23:At almost 300 a night I would like to find a better deal.

Review 24:Very good location and a very clean room. Also thought the room was a good size. A little bit of a walk to the boards but not a big deal unless your kids are tired. Overall a very nice trip...

Review 25:Only one elevator and we had to walk through the balcony area of other guests.

Review 26:Friendly, pleasant staff. Daily entertainment (magician, DJ, cookout) hosted by the hotel.

Review 27:Wifi was spotty and no bathroom near the pool . Had to make a mad dash every time to the bathroom in the room - 5th floor ! - so no easy task

Review 28:Staff was friendly and pool had sun all day . Great water pressure in shower .Also wonderfully close to beach .

Review 29:The staff were all nice old ladys. The pool was ok but no bathroom had to go back to your room. The place needs a major makeover the game room had games from the 90's and it was so hot in there. My room had a leak when it rained.

Review 30:The sheets do not get changed till every 3 days... They don't vacuum the room at all .. The kitchen was very poor and the fridge is very very old and no light in the leaving room.. No wifi at all, and when I asked the manager she said that's what we have whether you like it or not

Review 31:1. Bedroom did not have any air conditioning just a ceiling fan 2. Ants in the bathroom. 3. Both beds in the bedroom were lumpy & very uncomfortable. Bed Covers were dirty and needed to be replaced 4. Pull-out sofa in main room is old, dirty and the mattress was paper thin. It was unusable

Review 32:location to beach swimming pool

Review 33:Parking was a downer.. there is enough parking for only one car per room but the spaces are tight and some people take up more than one spot when they park so I had to park on the street and move the vehicle by 8am before meter parking began.

Review 34:The atmosphere was very nice, staff friendly, good value, kitchen came with everything you could possibly need.

Review 35:Parking is horrible!! spaces are too small! Most times the driver had to climb across the seat to access steering wheel and rest of party has to wait until car pulls out of spot before getting in the car. Came home with a dent in my door from someone's car I am sure most people leave there with dents.

Review 36:very clean, nice pool and good location

Review 37:Cranky ladies at front desk,dated decor,poor old TV in bedroom,dirty carpets and bathroom floor,parking very tight, game room disgusting,

Review 38:Great view from upper floor,comfortable beds,

Review 39:With Tax came to over $1000 for 3 nights, appliance broken, musty odor, walls dirty, tub yellowing, antiquated heavy brown outdated drapery, paint peeling, comforter stained, big dark stains on carpet, railings on so-called balcony bent, cement cracking, breaking away... Awful, Depressing to say the least! Been going to WW Crest my whole life, stayed many places, this without a doubt one of the worst... The Bates Motel might have one up on this, sleeping in the car was a better option! Essentially paid $1000 for a prime parking spot... never so happy to check out of somewhere in my life!

Review 40:location only good thing

Review 41:The carpets in the room need help. A monthly appointment with Stanley Steamers would do wonders to this place.

Review 42:This motel is like every other motel you can imagine. However, it is relatively clean and the staff is helpful and courteous. What I loved most was the proximity to the beach. RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET! You can either sit on the balcony or lounge area and watch the waves go by. It's also a great spot to 'people watch'. Even though it's far from Boardwalk its still a very active area.

Review 43:We weren't able to connect to the wifi at all in two days. The bedspreads were stained. The air-conditioner was so old and smelled of mold, we couldn't use it! The pool closed at eight.

Review 44:The location was amazing.

Review 45:Place is a little run down and could use some sprucing up. Parking spaces were small.

Review 46:Staff was very helpful and polite. Responded quickly to requests. They had early evening entertainment events (magician, disk jockey). Located very close to beach.

Review 47:Only negative was the parking. Spots are very tight especially when traveling with an SUV. There are alot of poles and difficult to fit into parking spaces.

Review 48:Great location! Right on the beach! Excellent when traveling with teenagers and a toddler. We all loved the beach and the pool. Pool was heated and very clean. We got a free upgrade on our room upon check in much to our surprise. View of ocean from the room was great! Pool table was great for our teenage sons.

Review 49:The pictures online made the rooms look much bigger than they actually are. The bathroom was extremely small, but clean. The beds were not very big and hard to sleep with 2 people. Sofa bed was the same. The Balcony's were not private in the ocean view rooms , so when sitting outside , had people always walking by. Parking had very tight spaces. Outdated game room. Kids did not use at all.

Review 50:It was ok for the few days we stayed. Staff was very friendly. Room was clean . Nice location. Very nice breakfast place right next door. Pool was nice and clean.

Review 51:parking spaces were tight in some areas. didnt like the step down into the room. not much that I did'nt like.

Review 52:staff was very friendly and helpful. sitting area was very roomy. great location near the beach. Kitchen was fully equiped with cook ware, dishes and cutlery.

Review 53:Kitchen needs a real update. Broken fridge and microwave. Only one grill operational outside ,

Review 54:Location and staff were great! Music by the pool was super relaxing!

Review 55:Somewhat run down facility. Could use some updating. WiFi worked poorly and elevator made a lot of noice. When out toilet got clogged and I notified the frondesk, I was handed a plunger!

Review 56:The location right by the beach is fantastic.

Review 57:The hotel was supposed to have free wifi. I landed there on a weekday intending to telecommute, but the wifi was broken. I reminded the hotel staff but nothing was done to rectify it

Review 58:The location - a hop skip and jump to the beach

Review 59:Shower got clogged close to the beach but far away from the boardwalk no breakfast served parking slots are very narrow

Review 60:close to the beach swimming pool

Review 61:It is need of an upgrade. The refrigerator was all cracked inside. It had a coffee maker but no place to really plug it in. Parking is extremely tight, small cars would not have any problems.

Review 62:The Owners were very nice. The Maids were great. It is clean and the ocean view was great. It was a fair price. It is near a walking/bike path and a beautiful park.

Review 63:The wifi was spotty at best, but we were on an upper floor so that could may have been the issue.

Review 64:The room was spacious and clean. The location was great and the kids loved the pool. The staff was very kind and helpful.

Review 65:Private balcony would be nice but all motels in the area have the same design. Better game room-needs to be updated. Bathroom facilities by pool would be a plus.

Review 66:Excellent location. On the beach. Beautiful views-shady side in the early AM. Ample room for family of 5. Free entertainment. Very accommodating staff! Would stay here again.

Review 67:outdated furnishings. Kitchen range had rust on it. Door to the patio was in need of major replacement. paint peeling off of it...with young children, lead paint chips was a concern of mine. I had to buy windex to clean the window that looked out over the ocean...It had smudge/grease marks on it.

Review 68:the location is nice.

Review 69:The only thing I do not like is that the pool close at 8 p.m. It should stay open a little bit later

Review 70:I really liked that my room is on the ground floor cuz it made it very convenient because I had a small child with me and it was very accessible to the pool and to the beach and to the parking lot

Review 71:The only thing I didnt like was the parking.the parking was very limitedand very tight.

Review 72:Right on the beach and close to boardwalk.didnt have to walk far to getbreakfast .

Review 73:When we arrived rooms were not ready even though I asked for an earlier check in when I booked the rooms. One room was ready by 3pm the other was not. I found a bag of hair dye or extensions and a razor that was left in the room from previous guests. I was really grossed out. No toilet paper in the room when we checked in. They did not vacuum our room during our stay of 6 nights.

Review 74:The pool was very nice. Staff was pleasant. Location was great.

Review 75:Went there to relax for 3 nights. Coffee pot leaked all over the table the first night. The second night the smoke alarm went off at 6:45am, the third night the smoke alarm went off at 4:20am.....Needless to say, we didn't get a good nights sleep for 2 night.

Review 76:The elevator, balcony, pool

Review 77:Good Location and very family friendly. It is a basic motel with pool and across the street from the beach. Great swimming beach and near restaurants as well. Older motel which is undergoing renovation but will remain basic. This is not a place for you if you are looking for luxury. Great for families.

Review 78:Liked it all

Review 79:The staff was vet friendly and helpful. The whole property was well kept and very clean. Loved the bathroom towels. Very nice pool. First visit and will definitely stay here again.

Review 80:Entire facility needs to be updated to a level which matches the expensive room rates. Postponed but needed repairs have taken their toll on facility appearance.

Review 81:Good location on the beach.

Review 82:We were listed as 2 rooms for 4 adults when the reservation was for 4 adults and 4 children and that is why the request was a lower floor with connecting rooms.

Review 83:We were upgraded to an ocean view room.

Review 84:The Bristol Plaza was in a great location, right on the beach. Our room had a separate living room and bedroom, which was a pleasant surprise. Big fridge, big kitchen table, microwave, pull out couch, lots of storage, clean bathroom, two tv's, good air conditioning, overall great room.

Review 85:We were in a room on the first floor, so it was noisy at night. Next time we'll ask girls a room higher up. Also, there is no shade in the pool area and it gets all of the afternoon sun.

Review 86:The cost was very reasonable and the room was decent and clean.

Review 87:Parking was very tight, I had to try to find a space big enough to open my doors. Bathroom toilet was so close to the wall I keep hitting the TP holder and bumping my elbow on the wall. Shower was a fixed head and to get wet you had to lean in close to the head and then step back to soap up. you couldn't stand under the head. They need to replace the head with a head that you can tilt up a little. I person of size will have trouble with the toilet and the shower.

Review 88:the views were great, the Tuesday afternoon d-jay music we loved, Monday magician for the kids who were there.

Review 89:No air conditioner in the bedroom.

Review 90:Air conditioner was ice cold. Unfortunately there wasnt any in the bedroom so bring a box fan with you to reach the bedroom. Great big living room, updated very clean bathrooms. Rugs could use a good steam cleaning. Entertainment every day for a few hours. Great DJ, played dance music. The kids loved it. I'd definitely return!

Review 91:One night there were no more Parking spots when we returned so I had to park on the street around the corner - not horrible but annoying. Would've liked to take trolley to Boardwalk but it was cheaper to drive and pay for parking!

Review 92:All the staff we came in contact with were very courteous and prompt w any request. Nice view and beach access very nice. Room was clean plenty of room for the 4 of us.

Review 93:Checkout could be a little later.

Review 94:Right on beach. Pool. Price. Great staff. You can use changing room on checkout day if you want to use the pool, beach, etc. after checkout. Excellent

Review 95:We arrived at 10:30 AM and check in was at 2:00 PM. The lady at the front desk checked us in and took my cell number and told me she would call when the room was ready. Offered us a temporary room if we needed to use the bathroom or change our clothes. She called us back around noon to let us know the room was ready. Location was perfect right on the ocean, but it was a decent walk to the boardwalk. The staff was accommodating and very friendly. Would definitely come again.

Review 96:I would have liked if there was actually supplies to make coffee. I looked online for room amenities but didn't see the coffee maker or I would have brought my own stuff.

Review 97:The entire staff was so friendly and helpful. The rooms come with nice size refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker.

Review 98:Wifi was having trouble that day but everything else was great!!

Review 99:Price was great, bed was great, floor was great which I really am concerned with, because I've had places that I've been in the floor was really gross. Not this place, this was really nice and clean.

Review 100:when I made my reservation they did not tell me the pool was closed. It was mid May and alot of nearby hotels had there pool open.

Review 101:Location is great right off beach.Room was clean and nice enough but door to balcony was verh difficult to open.

Review 102:Called to inform staff of late arrival. They told me not to worry, and took care of things so that I could enter my room at midnight! Super nice and friendly.

Review 103:Nothing.exciting was awesome

Review 104:This whole area was amazing. I cane with my girl scouts abs they're mom's abs everyone was thrilled! !can't wait to go back next year! !

Review 105:They were having trouble with their Wi-Fi so I couldn't log on to the internet. Parking was a little tight since the spaces were small.

Review 106:Staff is very friendly. The beach is right there. Our room was very clean. It's in a great location for outside activities.

Review 107:Slightly rude at check-in Hairs on "clean" towels and in between sink and bathtub

Review 108:Booked online with great rate beachfront and location to area attractions Free parking Stayed one nite-ok for that but not more

Review 109:Did not like the fact that there was no wifi available unless you were in the office.

Review 110:I was surprised to see a full size refrigerator in the room and happy that the bedroom and sitting area were in separate rooms.

Review 111:It needs to be a little updated, specially the keys. They are huge and bulky. I think is time to switch to the electronic keys.

Review 112:Great location, right on the beach and a few blocks from the boardwalk. I came down with my wife for some relaxation and we got it. Definitely will like to come back again.

Review 113:I felt like someone was in our hotel room we went to the broad walk and came back to curtains open no big deal but the pool was disgusting a green and brown color all the other pools around us was open including the 3 hotels right next to us very disappointed.

Review 114:The rooms were clean and spacious

Review 115:This place is completely outdated, smells, dirty and the front desk clerk is out of touch with reality. She doesn't use a computer so has no proof of deposits or a credit card machine and relies on cash..suspect! The wifi didn't work and the rooms smell of deodorizing spray, I guess that's how they clean. Awful!

Review 116:The best and only good thing about this hotel is that it's right next to the beach.

Review 117:This is a 60s era hotel. It is moderately maintained. I could not insistently access the wifi. The pool was not yet open.

Review 118:Fantastic location. Great view. Huge comfortable room. Friendly staff. We stayed during a fringe season. Very economical.

Review 119:Didn't like that the wi-fi didn't work at all in the room. The room was to close to the kiddy pool area. Parking between those columns is horrendous.

Review 120:The beach was great a little bit to far but nice all the same. Enjoyed the room somewhat overall it was a pleasant stay.

Review 121:It's a little old looking, run down but clean. The lights in the pool didn't work when we went for a night swim. That was disappointing.

Review 122:Loved the view, ocean front. The staff was very kind and accommodating. Let us change and park our car there after we checked out, for the whole day!

Review 123:The hotel was outdated. Basic rooms. Water would get really hot or really cold when showering.

Review 124:The location was right on the beach and on the quiet end of the crest. The staff was friendly and caring.

Review 125:Bed was extremely hard, WIFI connection virtually non-existent, Air Conditioning wasn't strong enough to reach the back bedroom. Most lights in the room didn't work. Lots of issues with the elevator.

Review 126:Lovely staff, Clean Accommodations, Beachfront Location.

Review 127:Beds were very hard therefore causing lower back pain Air Conditioner had a loud humming noise that prevented us from keeping it on at night.

Review 128:The location is fantastic The staff in the front office were very friendly Room was clean and the sun decks were great

Review 129:bedroom was small in the efficiency. Carpets were stained.

Review 130:Staff were very friendly, helpful. House keeping was good Close to beach, pool clean and kiddie pool available.

Review 131:Our bathroom wasn't very clean! Parking lot was extremely tight. The beds could be bigger.

Review 132:Ocean view room was excellent! Nice restaurant right at hotel. Easy walk to the beach.

Review 133:the cabinets door needed some repairs; they would scrap the microwave when open; the bedroom needs a/c vent; and more lighting especially in the living room. No sure if light fixture needed an additional light bulb, but lighting was poor.

Review 134:the oceanview from the patio.

Review 135:Let me 1st preface by saying that when we vacation in Wildwood I need a room for essentially a shower & sleep so as long as there's a comfortable bed & running hot water I'm satisfied. For people looking to spend a lot of time inside the room that might be another story. Facilities are average, our 2 room suite had a small frig, microwave & a coffee maker - no sink or kitchenette. Room was dimly lit & coaches not very comfortable. SD flat screen TV in living room & old tube TV in bedroom. For people that don't like to walk the END of the boardwalk being a 1/2 mile away could be an issue.

Review 136:From beach standpoint location is excellent. Staff was very friendly & accommodating. Hotel is situated so the front / pool receive the afternoon sun - nice plus if you want to hang at pool after beach. Nice size pool - comparable with the neighboring motels. Beds were firm & comfortable.

Review 137:Would prefer queen beds to double. Also recreation activities at the motel such as game room and ping pong table need to be updated!

Review 138:Staff was friendly and very helpful. Location was perfect on the beach and far enough from the broadwalk but close enough for a good walk.

Review 139:ROOM NEEDED UPDATED - BEDROOM TO HOT AC DID NOT REACH THE BEDROOM AREA _ TO STUFFY TO SLEEP! NO CAFE

Review 140:POOL LOCATION UPPER DECKS FRONT OFFICE STAFF BASICALLY LOCATION-LOCATION-LOCATION------and the nice clean pool - also the nightly weekday entertainment at the hotel.

Review 141:Wi-Fi is a joke. Very weak signal and no bandwidth made it an ordeal. Luckily, motel is right on an Optimum hot-spot. Very dated, but about par for the course in area trapped in 1960s kitsch. No A/C in bedroom of suite. Have to freeze out front room occupants to get any cool air to bedroom. Only one very slow elevator in five story building. No coffee shop in motel.

Review 142:Clean and mostly in good repair. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Location with direct beach access was excellent, but the area was close to Wildwood and had more of that feel than that of the Crest. Did I mention the beach? That is why we visit the area. Best free beach in New Jersey.
