The customer service was really great, the room old and smelled like dead fish in our room, we bought candles to help with odor, hair and dirt in corners and you don’t get cleaning services. Honestly the location was great and so was the customer service other wise I would have given this property a 0

Girls Weekend

Awesomely clean and convenient motel. Myself and 2 friends went for the weekend. I will definitely stay here again. Room clean, beach right across the street, free concert in the bandstand which we could see and hear from our sundeck. Clean pool, mini golf and ping pong table, all free and at the motel. Grills and tables free to use. Joanne at the front desk was great. 10 out of 10

Great rooms with lots of beds and space! Many activities and amenities. Close to the beach and within convenient walking distance of the boardwalk. Friendly service. Managers aren't always around and available to assist. Stairways and outdoor walkways might be hard to access for somebody who is disabled or who has trouble getting around.

Second year at Gold Crest for a week at the shore. This is a family friendly & relaxing place. The mini golf & table tennis are great when the kids aren't in the pool.The location is perfect! Directly across from centennial park where they have fun festivals & free concerts to enjoy during the evenings. Behind the park is the beach only a half block walk. The facilities & rooms are what you'd expect from a typical shore motel... dated & somewhat small in the rooms. A few minor upgrades would go a long way cosmetically. But if you're like my family, we only stayed in the room to sleep and were off adventuring at Water parks, the beach, amusement rides & boardwalk shopping only a 5 min drive. Walking distance to bike rentals and several playgrounds even a baseball field, tennis courts & basketball courts are just a few blocks away. The staff is awesome. Very friendly & attentive. If you're one who stays in the room more than venturing out then know that it is a standard motel with extra firm mattresses that may be a negative but they do have basic cable tv. Wifi was spotty so bring a hot spot if that's a deal breaker. Overall it's always a great week spent for family vacation.

Very overpriced for crap. They charged us a 4% fee for using a debit card because their CC machine “didn’t have the option” not to run it as a CC. So they basically stole $70 from us. Only 2 good-ish things about Gold Crust Motel. The oceanfront room has a beautiful view of the ocean and park below &the pool wasn’t crowded unless there were kids running around &jumping in from every direction. No shade, wouldn’t put up umbrellas. The oceanfront room balcony- the dumpsters are located directly below &at least twice during our 4 day stay the giant garbage bins were emptied and the smell from the leaky crap that oozed out was awful. So the balcony was unusable for a few hours each time it was done. I don’t even know where to begin about the room. The room decor is absent, not even a picture on the wall. Tiny TV. Gross fridge. Curtains were 3 different torn panels. Comforters were old and creepy, &the sheets didn’t fit so when you moved around, they’d come off and you’d wake up on the plastic mattress cover. Ick. I also rolled toward the center of the bed when I slept because of the indentation. The bathroom. ICK! Hair on the floor, crusty tile, especially in corners. Tub tile was broken &looked like a 4 year old caulked it. Gross shower mat. The toilet clogged. They’d only give 1 roll of TP at a time so we had to ask for more 2x. One unsafe outlet in the light above the sink. Not even one hook or towel bar. Just the broken bar holders sticking out of the wall. Awful place.
