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
