Oh St Joseph Resort Hotel

Dude… I stayed here two years ago with my family. Screw the details on why I couldn’t back out of this dump. But when I walked in, the place smelled moldy like a basement. The dude at the desk didn’t even have my reservation on file. He gave me a key and told me to go back to like room 108. As I walk back, there’s a dude sitting on the floor nodding out. I can see in a distance women coming in and out of the room. As I got closer they were all surrounding a women on a bed while holding bibles and praying in this hot room. Looked like they were performing an exorcism of some kind. After seeing the room and figuring out we’re screwed with this place, we agreed to stay. Worse decision ever. Started off with day one the sheets we stained, objects were under the bed like lighters, pipes, drapes broken, shower moldy, people in the back parking lot working on cars, some smoking pot, two lot lizards, one mattress and a partridge and a pear tree. Day two, some one tries to break into our room through the conjoining doors, other continued to knock on our door though out the day. Day three, the hotel road flooded during high tide. Had to wait till midnight for the road to open for us to get back to the hotel…. This place is a nightmare. I don’t think the state would keep it open if they got an inspection.

I know the owners are trying to fix the place. Its an old building, reminds me of The Shinning. Just use your imagination when it comes to old buildings... It is home to lots of living things that are not human. And if you know old buildings and construction and these said creatures make themselves known. I know fixing this property is no easy task and I see the owners trying their best and I do not want to say anything negative. But the rooms are spacious. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Great location if you want to go to the Casinos, boardwalk, beach ⛱️. Oh, they also have a huge section of solar panels.

I booked a parking place at this hotel and it was a nightmare. First of all, the hotel is under a work stop order so there is no one at the reception to confirm that I can park there. It looked like an abandoned place. Only the restaurant "Pizza party" inside the hotel seemed to be open but it looked like a place where criminals gather to "have fun". One of them hit my RV at 2am then ran away. But I was able to take a picture of his car, his plate number is E39LVU. This place is very unsafe, avoid it at any cost !

I made a purchase for 3.5 star hotel on Hotwire and this was the hotel that they gave me. I tried to get a refund and try to cancel but they would not do anything about it. This hotel smells like smoke from the minute You walk through the main entrance. It is in very bad condition. There are broken tiles, mold on the walls, stains on the carpet, cigarette burn on the comforters in the room. There is also one person at the front desk who is busy majority of the time and unable to help with any issues I would recommend you spend your money elsewhere and do not come to this hotel. The room was very hot when we got into it, and the windows are very dirty. The fridge, TV, and phone does not work and they did not fix it. Don’t be fooled, this hotel looks nothing like the pictures online or on the Hotwire website.

If I could rate it with no stars I would. The Department of Health needs to be notified about this place. The showers had mold in them. The walls of the hallway had mold, wall paper peeling and pieces of wall missing. The glass doors of the place were filthy, for no reason, how hard to clean a window. The room curtains had holes in it, there was hair on the bed and in the sink. I checked the mattresses before we slept there and they looked bed bug free. The cable went out while staying there so there was no TV. The fitness room was not open, but looked gross inside anyway. There was a free breakfast but I refused to even try to eat it. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!

This motel should get 0 star as when you enter in front desk,,, bad smell starts from there. Rooms smell bad too and mattress had stains on it and it was all torn parts. Not sure if they change beds and pillows covers. I found hairs on the bed. Later after checking into room here, I read reviews and read about bed bugs. So we turned on light whole night to get sleep. Bathroom door we couldn’t lock,, there are molds on sink and bath tubs. Water tab handle was too tight to turn on, tiles in the bathroom were old and some were not replaced. We went over weekend so we paid almost $287/night but trust me it was even worth of $40 bucks. In the morning when went for breakfast, there are fees options only- bread, muffin, waffle, Cheerios and of course orange juice and coffee. But, muffins and Cheerios were stale. My kid couldn’t even eat anything. When we drove around building to get into highway, we noticed bunch of mattresses seems like those were just brought there from garbage. Ohh we had such a bad experience staying there. We are hoping that we didn’t bring any bed bugs home. So, immediately after getting home we took shower and did hot laundry for all the clothes to took into that motel. Surprisingly, I saw some good reviews about this motel and I am sure owner is the one who is giving good reviews to bring reviews star atleast back to 2.5 or 3. But, please go with the reviews where people are pouring their frustrations about the stay. Also, staying there I don’t think it’s good for your health. I feel like somebody have to complain about their stale food, bad smell, unhygienic bed, mold in bathroom and sink to health department.

While the lady at the front desk is very kind and helpful, the entire place is just.. janky. The entire building reeks of cigarette smoke, despite being a smoke free hotel. The doors have trouble opening and the lights take some getting used to. There was a duct taped hole in the bathroom, and there were a couple HUGE bugs. The bed was very nice at least! But there were some sticky stains showing the counters weren't properly washed at all before we got there. Overall... it worked, but it isn't my preference.

This motel is a cruel place. It reminds me of the parallel world of the series Stranger Things. It is massively run down and dirty. Supposedly non-smoking rooms stink of smoke. Hair in the fridge. Microwave dirty. Mold everywhere in the bathroom. Cockroaches greet you when you enter. Do yourself and your health a favor and find something else.
