The bed was huge and very comfortable! The receptionist was very kind and helpful. My friend and I stayed in this motel while seeing a concert in the Catalyst. My friend and I were perfectly comfortable walking around after dark. This hotel was in a perfect location, it isn’t too far from downtown (about a 10 minute walk) or the boardwalk (a 10 minute drive). Most importantly, my friend and I felt safe staying here. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality place to stay.

I like loved the fact that the room was super clean and cozy. It had a nice size refrigerator and a microwave which I was very happy about because I brought food with me that needed to be refrigerated. I didn’t have to go out and buy food or order in. I was able to heat my food in the microwave, sit back, relax and enjoy my stay. I will definitely be back and hope to get the same room on a regular basis. I highly recommend The Islander Motel.

Modest but well appointed room. I had been concerned about cleanliness, but it really was clean & sanitized. Bathroom appeared to have been renovated in last decade. Shower had plenty of hot water. Heating/AC unit below window produced enough heat to keep room warm in unusual frost conditions. Small fridge was just right to store snacks & restaurant leftovers. Office staff were friendly and helpful.

Janet

I loved the location. Short distance to everything I needed to get to. I was pleasantly surprised. Initially I thought the last time I booked in this price range, the room was just ok. (Different property.) I was very happy with my room. It was important to me that the property has a pool, although I was too tired to use it. Everything was clean and well kept. I felt very comfortable.

Owners were very nice and you could see how hard they worked to make this place feel comfortable. Lots of parking for a small motel and even some covered parking spots. The room had all the amenities you need, microwave/fridge/blow dryer/iron. Quiet and we felt safe even when we returned to our room after 10pm.
