There was a huge gap under the door, it was missing the weather seal. The beds were very uncomfortable, very springy. The furniture was very dated, especially the tiny dresser. The wall where the air conditioner was, had cracks and missing Sheetrock, like small holes.

Great little hotel.

I stayed in a smaller room on the first floor. The interior decoration is fun, and the bathroom and shower are very nice, if small. Microwave and mini-fridge worked fine. Very close to the boardwalk which is great. Staff is really friendly and helpful. Would go back here before a chain, much better experience.

You get what you pay for

Overall it was ok--After the holiday you save money of course-we rented the apartment-was roomy and dated but overall nice-the bathroom is very small-the worst was the beds-very uncomfortable and creeky like old frames and legs-could not get a good nights sleep at all-glad we onlt stayed one night---overall just expect to get what you pay for--if the beds were better would of been a much more enjoyable stay

The Coral Sands is perfect!

Everything is spotless at the Coral and it is the perfect affordable place to stay near the boardwalk in OCNJ. The manager, Greta Markova, is simply outstanding and will do everything possible to make your stay perfect. The rooms were renovated and modernized a few years ago and it’s better than ever!

The floors were so dirty when we arrived. That was the bad part. But the girl at the front desk went out of her way and came to our room and scrubbed the floors herself.

This was nice hotel to stay in for a four day vacation. They are very accommodating. Quiet. We didn’t hear any noise. Only thing I would suggest is sponges in the room for cleaning and extra paper towels in the suite. It didn’t ruin our stay just would be helpful to clean after cooking in the room. The little extra room in our room was great for privacy. So close to the beach and the bbq restaurant nexts door is nice and convenient. Food was delicious. Thank you. We enjoyed our stay.
