Not bad for the price you pay.

The staff is super nice and friendly. Allowed us to check in and did not charge us a fee for early check in like they usually do as we drove about four hours. Pool area was clean with an area for little kids. Close to the beach and boardwalk too. Only downfall? The carpets were damp feeling, left black residue on the kids’ feet and the sink in the bathroom wasn’t attached to the wall. Other than that, it was a quiet stay, friendly staff, and comfortable beds. For the price we paid, we don’t have any other complaints besides the carpet and the sink. We’re stay here again if they fix the above mentioned issues.

The reception employees were very kind. It was a family and they were able to help with the room we had reserved. It is on a great location - near beach and walking distance to all places. However , the pool was very dirty the entire time. We asked reception and they said maintenance would come and when he did he only semi cleaned it . The water had a smell and there was mold all around the pool. The water murky. People would leave the towels and stuff around and that was never picked up. The BBQ was extremely dirty with grease and the burners were clogged with some much grease it took forever to cook. We had to spend our entire time out of the motel because of it. Our family visits wildwood every year and unfortunately we wouldn’t think to return here anymore.

It was clean enough for the price and I know its supposed to have a retro charm but I was a little alarmed at how few electric outlets were in the room. Literally had to unplug a light to plug in the microwave and the one bedside light you could not plug in anywhere. Not great not terrible.

If you're looking for a budget option, this place is ok i guess.....no daily maid service, you have to pick up your own fresh towels at the office if you want to use fresh towels every day, and the pull out sofa bed looks like its 50 years old and has enough springs to torture anyone having the misfortune to try to use it. Thankfully, we brought along our own air mattress and used that, or it would have been a miserable weekend. But the property is one block from the beach, and also a very short walk to the boardwalk, which is nice. You get what you pay for, and it's an ok option. I'd probably opt to spend a bit more at a different place next time.

Bel Air Motel stay

Motel is staffed by middle eastern family that barely spoke or understood English. Pool had trash floating on the surface and my grandson found something on the bottom area that he said resembled a "raw meatball". Tried to use the device with the long handle and screen on it, but it was ripped up and useless. Parking is a joke, spaces are measured barely as wide as a medium sized vehicle, so you end up door handle to door handle. No daily housekeeping service....if you want clean towels or clean bed clothes, you have to ask for them at the office. Batroom was designed for small slightly built individuals.....as we are NOT.

Major overhaul needed

While the people who work there were nice, this motel needs a massive renovation. The carpet was damp and wet, so we had to walk around with our shoes on. The sink was falling off the wall, and you could not even lean on it because you were afraid that it would detach and fall on your feet. There were some stains on the sheets and everything about this motel was old. The outdoor pool area seemed okay, but we didn’t spend much time there. Overall, this motel needs a major renovation, the rooms are dismal and not worth the price you pay in high season.

This is a dated property that has had some upgrades but is basically very run down and not all that clean. It is OK for a stay at a vintage motel, if that is what you are after. The general condition of the facility is rather lacking.

Staff doesnt come to clean your room everyday i had to infact as the office foe them to clean the room when we stayed 6 nights. When asked for someone to clean the room they give an excuse that made so sense. Its a good stay thats afordable and close to a lot but they need to assure rooms are being cleaned which they dont while youre staying here.
