The Bellmoor Inn and Spa

We were really looking forward to our stay here and had high hopes for the hotel. Unfortunately, our experience was a bit underwhelming, although there were definitely some things we enjoyed.

We loved spending time with our family in the shared spaces and lobby. The bar and cocktails were wonderful, and the bartender was fantastic. The fireplace was also such a cozy touch on a cool, rainy fall evening. There is a lot of potential in the common spaces, but the furniture and rugs are showing noticeable signs of wear, and there were quite a few scuffs on the walls. The breakfast area also could have used some additional attention to cleanliness, particularly around the baseboards and cabinets.

Unfortunately, our room was the biggest disappointment. The carpet had a significant number of stains throughout, and we found a sock under the bed and a lotion bottle under the dresser when we arrived. The beds themselves were comfortable, which was a positive. As others have mentioned, the TVs glitched during our stay, and the room had a musty smell. We did enjoy having access to the hot tub, although it too seemed like it could use some updating.

Overall, we really wanted to love this hotel and think it has a lot of potential, especially with its cozy common areas and family-friendly atmosphere. With some additional attention to cleanliness, maintenance, and updating, we think it could be a wonderful place to stay. For our next weekend trip, however, we’ll likely try a hotel closer to the beach.

This is a great place to stay! Most of the rooms are very nice - one needed a little TLC. The staff is exceptional (super nice, super helpful every single one!) and the service is as well. It’s an easy couple minute walk to the boardwalk, but also provides a free shuttle if you have a lot to carry, that runs back and forth for a mile radius from 19an to 7:30pm. Highly recommend this place! Also highly recommend the rooms in the main building.

Jessica was very helpful when it came to a situation that unfortunately couldn’t be resolved. One blonde girl didn’t seem to take our matter that seriously. It was regarding the tv freezing and not being able to access tv channels. We loved pedicures with Cara and Lydia to start our vacation. We weren’t fans of the pillows in the room, though. The walls are paper thin but quiet hours are respected for the most part. The location of the Bellmoor was nice because you could walk to most places. The breakfast was good, although the eggs were very oily when made to order. The oatmeal apple cinnamon muffins and oatmeal raisin cookies were scrumptious.
