Franklin Terrace Motel

Inn

Clean rooms, close to the board walk, comes with free beach badges *must stay at least 3 nights and free parking pass if the lot is full.

LOVED this place, the room was so clean you can smell the freshness walking in, they have bed covers and floors are tiles. The owners were so accommodating and welcomed us in with smiles! The pool is crystal clear and private in the back they also provide beach badges. I have been to almost every hotel even the ones on the actual boardwalk and I promise you I will never go to another hotel franklin Terrence is the way to go! Its a block away from the boardwalk you walk out and it’s 2 minute walk! I give 5 stars for this seaside nj motel.

Stayed one night but wish I could have stayed a week. Room was very clean showers are clean no mildew or smoke smell at all. AC in room was ice cold. Very friendly and accommodating staff and super close to the boardwalk and beaches probably under 5 minute walk. Highly recommend.

Very very small and noisy, you can hear people from outside and through the walls, so I wouldn't bring kids here, theres hardly any room for clothes. It's cheap though and only a block from the beach. Parking passes and beach passes included which is nice. Water is hot, clean room, beds are decent but not the best. Management is great.

From the time we got here we have been greeted with smiles and all the help we need. The owners take great care of their motel and their guests, which made staying at seaside heights that much better. And it’s a block from the board walk! Highly recommend!

When we arrived, it was way too early to check in. We were nonetheless welcomed warmly and given a street parking pass for the day. They called to notify us that the room was ready and when we checked in we found a very clean, no frills room with comfortable beds and pillows. Located less than a block from the beach, they have an awesome and accommodating staff. All this at a great price!

One block from boardwalk. Very tiny bathroom, not good layout. Courteous staff, looks like family owned and maintained. Quality of toiletries — bath soap and shampoo is very bad, can go for better one which are gentler in skin and eyes.

I needed to change my reservation dates, and they were very accomadating with helping me do so. Can't wait for one of our family vacation this year!

Enjoyed our stay very clean place 5 min walk to the beach.

A great place to stay if you are going to to visit Seaside Heights. Clean & conveninet. They located just half block from the Boardwalk, beach & biggest night life club Bamboo. I loved it.

Prompt service, quiet atmosphere (during winter), could use parting signs, nice tv, too expensive.

Let me start by saying. We went here because family members had chosen to be close to beach and boardwalk for kids. That it was. Staff very nice. Free parking on street all weekend. However when we opened the door to our room, the appearance was clean, however the odor of dampness & mildew slapped us in the face. I am asthmatic and by this point it was too late. I was triggered. We sprayed and burnt a candle to rid the odor. Left window open to air out. Pillows were hard and heavy and only one per person on bed. Used to at least 2 per person. No blanket on the bed. It’s the middle of October. I am now$300 in the hole for drs and scripts due to the asthmatic trigger that left me unable to breath and constant coughing. If you are looking for a place to flop close to beach it’s your place. Guess I am just spoiled with the places I am used to staying. Had fun with family. That’s all that matters.

This hotel is VERY convenient to the boardwalk and provides a parking place which is great! The room was clean and I would stay here again, especially because of the good price. The only negative was the loud air conditioner!

Very expensive for the quality. Do not recommend staying here. There are newer, nicer places for the same cost or less.

The room was clean and the beds comfortable. I like that the room appeared to be updated. A nice fridge, New flat screen TV with cable was nice along with free Wi-Fi and free parking. The bathroom was fine. Everything worked fine. The location was great half block from the beach. Staff were friendly and responsive to our needs. We really enjoyed the 2 free beach pass and daily maid service that came with the room. I would recommend this hotel to anyone with a small family.

Nice place good location at the end of the boardwalk. Basic accommodations but small enough to be a peaceful place to relax at.

Small and uncarpeted but clean and cozy, and in addition to being within walking distance of nearly everything, they lent us two season passes to the beach. Not a 5-star hotel but integral to a 5-star visit to the Jersey shore.

This is my second time staying here. The rooms are clean and close to Boardwalk. Highly recommend the price is affordable too.

The staff was VERY VERY friendly. They even helped us with the bags to our room. The room we rented which was room 14 had 3 beds had ceramic tile flooring which I like better then rug. The room and beds were clean with NO bed bugs. I am very picky with motels but I have to say this one did the job. It didn't have a dresser but it did have a rack to hang clothes on hangers (I just left my clothes in the luggage, no big deal). It also has a small fridge and microwave with a counter and sink that accommodated 2 electric burners. It was half a block from the MIDDLE of the border walk which was great because I DIDNT HAVE TO DRIVE ANYWHERE. The dance clubs were walking distance. It has a very small sink with no counter space in the bathroom and a stand up shower but I was happy that it was very CLEAN. The toilet was super clean with no stains. The parking lot is small but they give you a permit to park on the street if there are no more spots which is right in front of the motel. There is a small pool towards the back of the building if you want to grill or just relax. (pool size is probably 15x 8) they also provided me with some beach passes. I definitely would recommend this motel. Its a 2 star hotel but feels like a 4 star due to how clean and friendly they are. I definitely will be back.

Half a block from the boardwalk and near the nightlife.

I stayed at the Franklin Terrace Motel for my school's prom weekend with my girlfriend. Having looked at previous reviews, both my girlfriend and I were concerned about what we had gotten ourselves into. However, I have found that none of the reviews that I have read gave an accurate description of the motel, so I would like to do so. LOCATION In terms of relation to the beach, the location could not be any better. The boardwalk is a minute walk from the hotel and it is not too far from Casino Peir, the local amusement park. Everything on the boardwalk is within walking distance from the hotel and it's not too far from the nightlife, but just far enough to not hear blasting music all night. Despite this great location, the street that the motel is on itself is a bit more sketchy than the surrounding streets. There are a few open lots and run-down looking houses on the street and not many street lights, making my girlfriend and me a bit uneasy walking home at night. Overall, I was satisfied with the location once I got used to that uneasy feeling. ROOM The walk into the motel is also a bit sketchy, as there's not many lights. The room itself is alright. The floors are a little dirty, but not too bad. The beds have sheets that have a few stains in them, but we had no issues with bedbugs as I have read in previous reviews. The bathroom looks a little dirty and was tiny, but there were no problems with mold. Also, I would suggest bringing your own toiletries and towels.

What a wonderful stay we had. The owners were very accommodating and very nice. The hotel was very clean and beds were comfortable.

Soo convenient! My husband is working and took the only vehicle we brought soo. Me and my boy were able to walk to the beach and board walk and it's only a block! Also very friendly staff couldn't ask for better people and our room was clean and AC works great.

The hotel is an excellent Value and extremely central to all major attraction,,,, I would definitiely stay there again. The rooms were immaculate and the beds were very very comdortable. Great Job.

We say at Franklin Terrace motel last week we enjoyed it lot. Everything is walking distance from the motel. We arrived early before check-in time like 12pm but I think Manager told us we can check-in our room is ready. We were so happy that we can go to beach and have some fun. Manager give us beach passes so we save some money. Our room was Nice, Clean and big I have never seen so much space in motel rooms anywhere. Our room Include Microwave and refrigerator also. Staff was very friendly and polite. They recommended a good restaurant close to the motel I think name was 'LUNA ROSA' something don't recall right now very good restaurant. We enjoyed our stay lot.

On August 9, 2011 me and my boyfriend booked a 3 days and two nights at the Franklin Motel at 50 Franklin ave, Seaside Heights, NJ. The first night when I woke up to fix the sheets I saw one bed bug on the bed. When I called my boyfriend who was in the bathroom at the time. He ran out and flick the bug on the floor and told me to not worry about it. I went online to Google the pictures of bed bugs to show him it was the same bug. Because if there is one there is more. Anyway I reported it to the owner who told me they did not have any bugs and I told he I just want the room sprayed out. So he gave me a bottle of Lysal spray and I spray the room. Okay the next night around 3am I woke up in the middle of the night to find 3 bed bugs crawling on the sheets. I scream and show my boyfriend. We then packed up our stuff and left the hotel shortening our visit at seaside heights. When my boyfriend called the owner at 3am he kept saying he does not have any bugs. But I know what I saw and I was not drinking and I'm not crazy. And we explain to him that why would we lye and cut our visit short. And it's not like we were asks for our money back we just did not want to be in a place that is infested with bugs.

I recently stayed at this motel for a three night stay with some friends. The only thing that I can say good about this place is it's location. The management is rude, irrational and money hungry. They will try and nickel and dime you and pay a ridiculous amount for having 4 people in a a 2-4 person occupancy room. Then try and harass you while you're staying there and tell you that you are sneaking people in and you owe them anywhere from $25 — $35 extra charge/night when you have already paid them $450. But the best part is that when you call twice anonymously and ask a rate for a three night stay for 4 people they tell you an amount of$325 + tax and it changes when you are in person or even by the minute the rate changes. When you question them in there tactics and demand to see something in writing they will smirk and tell you " it's just the business. " We were in the office trying to clarify the amount for the room and another person walked in asking about vacancies and they gave her a higher rate then ours for just 2 people. They knocked on our door at 4am telling us that they were kicking us out and going to arrest us because they needed more money. They didn't even have the common courtesy to have housekeeping service our room the entire stay. Don't ever give these seedy men any business! It's not worth the hassle that they will give you if you do.

Stayed here and had a great time. Close to beach and bars, but not too close for the noise to spill over. Family run, and they take care to make their business clean and efficient. The room was spotless and the manager took care to make sure it was OK with us before we committed to that particular room. Staff was very friendly. It was quiet — maybe the party season hadn't started yet (late June). We aren't high-schoolers, and they didn't treat us as such. Some of the other reviews terrorize the place — the blame likely lies on disrespectful teenagers or undergrads. It was a great place to get out of town and see something different.
