“Fishing at Lorry's on LBI”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

Just recently stayed at Lorry's for some fun on the beach and relaxing fishing. Bill and his staff were so accomodating, anything I needed I received and more. The room was very spacious, clean and the price was right. Hard to believe there's a place as nice as this one for the money this close to New York City. Can't wait to go back!!

“Can't believe this is Tripadvisor's #1 LBI motel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

people found this review helpful

Great location, walk to beach, but this is an OLD creepy motel. The room was so dark; it reminded us of something out of a horror movie. Lorry's website makes things look so much better than they are. That's probably why you don't see interior photos of the actual rooms. Prices aren't that cheap either; spent around $200 for one night. Bed pillow was broken into two pieces. Never stayed in anything like this and hope we never do again!

Room Tip: Do yourself a favor and stay elsewhere

Dear Trip Advisor,

Thank you for the opportunity to reply to this review. Lorry's Island End Motel tries very hard to please all of our thousands of Guests from 47 states and 27 countries from around the world. If this Guest will call or e-mail us, we will be happy to try to make their next stay at Lorry's more pleasurable as we are continually upgrading our motel. I love this beautiful end of the island and I will personally try to help this Guest have a Great Long Beach Island Vacation.

As you can see on their review, this Guest posted a picture of a big beautiful castle. We try to please everyone, but I think their expectations were too high. Also, by saying that we don't post our interior room pictures on our website shows that they didn't click on our link "View The Rooms." On this page we have 14 interior pictures that shows the inside of all of our rooms and we give actual room dimensions.

In addition, Lorry's Motel states on "View The Rooms" and 2 other places on our website that We Are Not The Taj Mahal, etc. Lorry's is an Affordable Long Beach Island Motel that Is Unique in that we offer Free Amenities That Save Guests Between $50 - $125 Per Day. Our Affordable Pricing includes a Free Continental Breakfast, Free Beach Badges, Free Wi-Fi, Free Bicycles, Free Boogie Boards - and in every room a Full Size Refrigerator With Top Freezer, Microwave and 25" TV (or Bigger) with 125 channels on cable. Outside the rooms is our Courtyard with BBQ Area and 3 gas grills that includes a children's sandbox and play area. These Free Amenities help our Guests save a lot of money on food and drinks etc, their biggest vacation expenses.

In addition to our many Free Ameneties, Lorry's Motel has a tremendous location only 200 yards from the beach and 200 yards from the bay. Only 1 street away is the parking lot for the phenominal 3.5 mile Wildlife Preserve, one of God's most spectacular beaches with the ocean on one side and the bay on the other side, and Atlantic City Casinos that can be seen in the distance.

Today on February 3 as I respond to this review, Lorry's Motel is 100% occupied and we are very thankful that 2011 was a record summer season at Lorry's Island End Motel of 74 days in a row without an opening.

We Look Forward To Helping Everyone Have A Great Vacation On Beautiful Long Beach Island.

Thank You Very Much,

Bill Hutson
Lorry's Motel Owner

“Relaxing on LBI at Lorry's”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2011

My wife and I spent a weekend at Lorrys spending time on the beach relaxing and enjoying ourselves, the room was very clean and cozy with many amenaties that come with the room.I enjoyed the kind and curtious staff and Bill the owner for making our weekend carefree and enjoyable with all they provided to us. The location is great a block from the beach and a block from the bay, excellent for the fishermen and surfers which I saw many of each. I will enjoy booking another vacation at Lorrys for the next coming years.

“Nice and clean and affordable!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2011

I stayed at Lorry's with my 2 daughters and my granddtr and we were pleasantly surprised at how nice this little motel was. The room was clean and spacious and had all th ammenities of home. The staff was warm and friendly and willing to go the extra mile to make our stay comfortable. My husband has also stayed at Lorry's when he was working in the shore area and was also very pleased. We will definitely be returning to Lorry's in the future!

“Surf trip to Lorry's”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2011

I head out to LBI every year to hold my summer surf clinics down in Beach Haven. I'm from Southern California and yes LBI has waves and Beach Heaven is the best surf spot on the island. The past few year my clients and myself have stayed at Lorry's. The staff and owner Bill are super nice and friendly, if you need anything the staff will do their best to accommodate your needs.
I will continue to bring my clients and my surf camps to Beach Haven and continue to stay at Lorry's.
