Island Motor Inn

Hopefully with the news of the Long Beach Motor Inn being torn down and being replaced with housing for veterans... This last den of iniquity in this general area is next to be torn down and replaced with something that benefits people and the community. Similar to how the Capri in Lynbrook was sold and turned into upscale housing or how the Oceanside Motel was turned into a parking area for a now beautiful stretch of Long Beach Road where people don't have to worry about running into nefarious people because of the Oceanside Motel among other seedy places where the owners are only worried about making as much money as possible with zero concerns about how their actions affect the surrounding community. Hopefully at some point the owners of the Plantation do what's best for the community

My friend and I went to stay here since it was close to Long Beach and it was the most disgusting place I have ever been to in my life. The rooms are gross. We turned on the tv to porn. There are no light bulbs in the light holder, spiders on the walls, no windows in the front. You can tell they don’t clean there rooms and don’t care. You feel like your in a horror movie the second you pull into the parking lot. Long story short my friend and I left after we got charged the $120. I’d rather waste that money than get killed. It’s a real shame because the location is great someone should buy the motel knock down the whole thing and bulid a nice hotel I’m sure they would make good money. Don’t stay here.

*UPDATE* My husband and I been coming here on and off since summer of 2024. We love this place! Nobody bothers you and staff is friendly. The motel is being redone and it's looking great! The area is very convenient and safe and the price per night is extremely affordable and reasonable. This is our go to spot when we need a place to crash. Thank you all for everything you've done for us and keep up the amazing work!

The customer service at this place is horrible. I have been a manager of a Marriott hotel and have been in the Hospitality field for almost 40 years. I can tell you I have never seen a place run like this. My cousins were looking to visit from Scranton PA and had no luck finding a place that was affordable. They called here and were told they no reservations were taken over the phone and it was a good idea to show up early in the morning. Someone told them the rate was $130.00/night. My cousin asked me to go and book the room so I said “ok”. Upon arriving around 7:00 AM I was told they had rooms available and the rate was $230.00/night. I explained what was advised over the phone and he said that rate is from 12:00 PM check in so I said OK let’s do they. The front desk agent said I would

I remember going there years ago went I was in my early 20s. Even then, it was just known as a no tell Motel. I used to go in and rent the place for three hours, the minimum they allowed. We did our business and left.
