Russo's Motel

I came with my husband and child recently for two nights. The first night none of us slept. Partially due to the disgusting room and partially to the very old drunk woman slamming doors and yelling. The air conditioner stopped working in the middle of the night. The beds are so uncomfortable. Luckily, we brought a blanket in case our son wanted to nap while on the beach. We ended up having to use the blanket on the bed and sleep on it because the beds were so deplorable. I showered with my flip flops on because I was afraid of what I might catch in there. We wanted to leave the next morning but never saw any of the staff and the office was closed. The only positive thing I can say is that it's convenient to the boardwalk and restaurants. I will not return. I would much rather spend a littl

You get exactly what you pay for. In August of this year a friend, myself, and our two children stayed at this hotel for 3 days and 2 nights. It was hell from the moment we entered the room. There were no pots and pans for us to cook our bags of grocery's. The bathroom was completely disgusting it was very old with bad conditions. The water for the shower would change temperatures from hot to cold instantly without you changing it. The bed felt as if we were sleeping on rocks with pillows underneath. There was no housekeeping options so when we came back from the beach sand was everywhere. There were bugs everywhere on the floor, we had to sleep with both eyes open so our children would not get bitten or crawled on. There are only a couple of parking spaces and there are no assigned spaces

Second time staying at this motel. It is an older motel but they are doing some upgrading. Loved that they are pet friendly. Clean rooms, no smell of pet urine or cigarette smoke, beds slept well, kitchen was clean, cool rooms, didn't see any bugs in our room, plenty of hot water for showers, easy wifi access, and great flat screen tv with plenty of channels to choose from. The pool was very clean as well as the grounds. We had connecting rooms with a kitchen in between which was perfect for our family. Russo's is within walking distance to everything, beach, restaurants, shopping amusement park, boardwalk and even a grocery store across the street. Property manager and all the other staff are very friendly and helpful. The young man that was in the office when I had a question was very fr

DONT STAY HERE!!! He took $$ over the phone for the reservation! Never had that happen! We drove up and immediately were concerned! This is a private home attached to a strip of nasty, smelly, rooms!!! Owners family was at the pool and they were tactless, gross! The front Door handle was coming off #4 room he assigned us!!! bathroom door wouldnt shut! Ceiling was falling in! Place smelled like it was mopped with old beer!!! I was seriously afraid for my kids safety to even stay! We didn't even unpack! We couldn't sleep in that!!! We asked for a refund and he wasn't happy!!! We left and Stayed at Drifters reef! Better price & CLEAN!!!!

We opened the door and were shocked that we paid $165 for the tiniest room ever. The bathroom was a tiny cubbyhole with a tiny shower and tiny sink and nasty dirty crud lined the floors and walls of the bathroom. The beds were very uncomfortable. No drawers, nothing in the room but 2 beds with plastic covered box springs and plastic covered mattresses. The sheets slid around on the matress. There was an old woman sat on the porch of the registration office with a dog and flies buzzing around them. She stared us down while giving out dirty looks and the other rooms looked like people lived in them year round. They were set up with furniture outside the door and potted plants out front. When we look back at this memory we just dismiss it, we don't want to talk about it. There is only one thi
