The Amethyst Beach Motel

I was surprised to see some of the negative reviews on here, Currently staying here, this is our 3rd night and have had no complaints. The location is perfect only a short walk to the boardwalk and beach. The lady at the front desk is SUPER friendly as well as the housekeeping staff. The beds are comfortable, very clean rooms and the room fits 4 of us perfectly. Nice size bathroom and shower, but the winner for me is the pool! The pool is kept very clean and the perfect place to relax after a day at the beach! I will definitely be staying here again on our next visit...thank you to all the staff for a great place to stay!

This was one of the worst places I have ever stayed. It looks nothing like the pictures they post. The whole place was dated and poorly maintained. Our room had a ripped chair, mismatched furniture, and a broken dresser. You had to sit on the toiltet sideways because there was a wall right in front of the toilet. We were charged extra for coffee and muffins, but did not even get any because it was not put out until 9am. We were near the pool and the whold room smelled of chlorine.

Positive: location: 15 minutes walk to boardwalk, beach & good restaurants & nice pool Negative: dirty - stained carpet, loose ceiling panel, molding missing, cracked doors & breakfast snacks not served until 10am.

We booked our stay at The Amethyst Beach Motel through Booking.com and unfortunately learned upon arrival that the payment made online was only a deposit, not the full cost.

We also had to call multiple times for towels, only to be told later by the cleaning crew that the owner was upset with us for not waiting until housekeeping came by, which felt unprofessional. The complimentary breakfast was very limited mainly small pieces of muffins, plus coffee and tea so don’t expect much variety. As for the room itself, while it was clean and came with a small fla

I’ve been coming to this hotel for years only because of the sentimental value it holds—my late mother used to bring me and my family here. Unfortunately, that’s the only reason I ever returned, because the place has not been updated in decades, yet still charges premium prices. During my most recent stay, the experience was unbearable. The owner leaves no staff onsite overnight, which meant kids were running wild until 4–5 a.m. I had to call management three separate times and was told I should call the police myself. That is absolutely not the responsibility of a paying guest. As someone on dialysis, I need rest, and I got none. When I spoke to the owner the next morning, instead of listening, he cut me off, said he had his own health issues, and ran into the back. He offered me $100 b
