“What a great place!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2011

person found this review helpful

When we decided (my friend and I) to go to LBI for a few days it was already July. I checked on line and actually the Jolly Roger was the only motel left with an available room. I booked the room and hoped for the best. Well, it was more than a pleasant surprise! The location is great - just yards from the beach! Our room was tastefully decorated, very clean, and had a view of the ocean. There is also a roof top deck with an absolutely beautiful view! We were nicely greeted upon check in and taken on a tour of the motel and then escorted to our room by the owner. Each morning we were treated to muffins, danish, and coffee and greeted by the owner, Pat, and her son, Paul. Everyone was friendly and very helpful with tips on good restaurants, sites, etc. In fact the entire staff is so nice. The Jolly Roger is more like an Inn or B&B than a motel. I plan on returning in the fall for a nice week-end getaway. This will be my place of choice when vacationing on LBI - the best lodging on the entire island!! Try it, you'll love it!!!

“This hotel left our family "homeless" in LBI”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2010

people found this review helpful

After doing much research of their website, we arrived late Friday night to a key on our door. The next morning the "manager" informed us that they did not allow children and that our 11 month old was not welcome at their motel. She said it was policy, but nowhere on their website did it say that. We supposedly could register him and pay 150 extra bucks a night extra or leave. We left because of how nasty and rude she was, not to mention how ridiculously uncomfy the beds were. The room was clean, the view was amazing, but these people just are not hospitable! My advice for anyone would be to check into staying somewhere else on the island.

“Couldn't ask for anything more....”

I wasn't sure what to expect when we checked in to the Jolly Roger. I have stayed on LBI at almost every hotel/motel. I was very pleased with it being a direct shot across the st. from the beach. Room had a comfortable bed, TV with more channels than I was used to, a larger than normal hotel fridge, and very large windows. It was only a 1 night getaway and we were very pleased.

“found this place disgusting”

I was shocked to read the great reviews of this place. When we checked in, I wanted to cry. It was dank, dark and worn. I would never stay there again.

“Best motel in LBI”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 April 2009

people found this review helpful

After staying at several other motels in LBI I certainly feel that this place deserves to be mentioned. I enyojed a few days of relaxing and surfing in LBI in the summer of 2008 and came across this nice motel.

The rooms are clean and cheap and the place is quiet and located with a great ocean view (at least from the patio). The rooms are clean and some of them come with large terraces. There is a roof deck which is perfect for enjoying the sunsets. The place has a great location at the quiet southern tip of the island.
