“Don't Do It Keep Looking”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

Haven't even been there and already got the shaft. Made a reservation on line, after calling the motel directly to be told to make the reservation on line. Booked the room on line. Gave all my credit card information. Recieved confirmation. Done. See you at the shore right? Oh no receive email next day or day after to cancel my reservation. Web problems advertising wrong price. How is that my problem? But no worries call Teresa directly as told to do in the email. She can do me a favorite because of this "mistake" that apparently happens very often there. She is going to give me a reduced rate which is the same rate quoted to someone else that called the hotel directly. So thank you so much for that favorite. I will not be staying there for any reason at anytime. Teresa you have no need to reiterate my review because I just read several more of your reviews and I think I've hear all your excuses. Please don't make any more mistakes in regards to my credit card. Thank you.

“great location & staff, but very rundown”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2011

I was shocked at how rundown and dated the place was in light of all the positive reviews here. The location is wonderful (short walk to beach & broadwalk), and the staff very helpful. But I would not stay there again in light of how dingy and old the room, bedding and carpets were.

Hurricane Irene and summer wear and tear, we experienced significant damage from the Hurricane which we addressed as best as we could restoring the rooms to usable conditions. The upper floor remains in great shape and entire property has to begun renovations.

Renovations are ongoing, however we have available many rooms which are fully ready for our customers.

We sincerely appreciate all who take the time to read reviews and responses and invite any questions to be directed to us for which we will happily respond.

With all sincerity,

“Nice stay but had issues with charges”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I've never vacationed in Point Pleasant, so I made sure to do quite a bit of research before deciding on a place to stay. My fiancée and I finally decided on the Amethyst Beach Motel and stayed from 9/11 to 9/13.

Our first day was a little rough. We weren't given any instructions or login info regarding the internet so we couldn't connect initially. We called for assistance and the front desk called their IT guy. He told us they'd have us up and running in less than an hour and we were! Then, we discovered one of the lamps wasn't working. It was replaced with one that worked shortly thereafter.

After that, everything was fine, short of our charges. Location was great, staff was friendly and very helpful and we enjoyed the continental breakfast and heated pool. It was quiet, laid back and close to absolutely anything you could possibly want. We had a good time and while the staff was very accommodating, we had more interactions with them than I would have liked because of the issues we had with being charged incorrectly.

I called before booking to verify amenities and price and was quoted $89 a night. I was also told we wouldn't get charged for parking or any other fees (outside of taxes, which I understood) because it was off-season and during the week. After my fiancée called to book our room, he was given a different and higher total that included parking and a resort fee. Altogether, we spoke to hotel staff members between 6 and 8 times regarding this issue (including the 5 times I called after we returned home) and were given four different totals (and two price adjustments) before we ended up paying the price we were initially quoted.

I did enjoy the stay but I wouldn't call it hassle-free.
