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.

I bet this place was once a wonderful place to stay but unfortunately those days are long gone. The whole place smells like mildew including my room. It was so run down and just really needed some major repairs and updates. The bathroom was nice. The lobby looked like a typical Asian tan place. When I visited Thailand our hotels were set up similar full of marble and big statues and plants. I am not sure what is going on with the water situation but the place really smelled musty, moldy and mildew my all throughout. Hotwire said it was a three star hotel. No way this is three stars. I would give it one or two at the most. Dirty. Very dirty.

Broken crsck pipes, dirty needles, mold, the whole place is falling apart, very dirtysmells like smoke and mildew. I checked out early and took my kids home. Ruined my vacation.

Haven't been back here in about 4 years. Notice some different decor however: hallways smells funny. Front desk were run by Cambodians. I notice new faces and new staffing. Security dude looks like he should retire. Reminds me of sharifs in the country side of hillbilly land. I'm just wonderful for safety reasons god forbid if something happens, how can he secure or protect anything without hurting his back. All I'm saying is the place is too big for him who's very out of shape to secure if there was a disagreement that broke out. I notice a bug nest in the back by the door.... possibly wasp because it was 4x4 big. I'm cringing at the thought of something crawling out to bite one of the children. how the bed was folded was not real neat and tidy, loose on the bed sham. Bed folded sloppy on the side. I always inspect the bed just in case of bed bugs... thank god none. a lot of old equipment like the lamps are peeling should be replaced, need better lighting in the room. I'm not using the coffee machine. Has a microwave, cable, free WiFi and fridge. Microwave needs to be replaced.... double time to heat my food. Cheap on towels. What the heck? got this late night restaurant, pizza, banging Mexican food! Cheese cake for my sweet tooth. well...... it was a slightly better than what it was when Indian like people ran the place. It's not longer hot curry hoagie smell, now just smells like fatty folks in the hot summer sun. Guys please please make this a less smellier place. Has so much potential for much more improvement, free breakfast is a plus! They need to vacuum better. Seriously!!!! Bright side..... it's a lot better than the other places around here. I paid $80 guess it's what I paid for.

100% would NOT recommend. I wish I could give it no stars. It honestly felt like a health hazard stepping foot inside. The rooms were run down, the hallways smelled like smoke and mildew, there was mold everywhere you looked, cigarette butts and mysterious liquids on the stairs inside, holes in the walls, and doors propped open so anyone can walk in at any time. The bathroom tiles looked newer but black mold was visible in the cracks. This was advertised as a 3-star hotel on Hotwire. Don't be fooled by the photos on their website. We checked in and then checked out within 15 minutes because we didn't couldn't stay there.

This hotel is near the Atlantic sea, and the price is acceptable for those who looking for saving on budget trips. It is my first time staying at a hotel in the US and the conditions in my room are acceptable. It is good for me. I like the silent environment around here. I feel this area is safe and enjoyable for my trip. For those who plan to stay here for a long period, this hotel is highly recommended, because around here there are so many activities to do like the casino, beach view, and travel.

Don't stay here! The place is dirty, smelly, and doesn't look like the pictures. The pool is closed. The building smells like weed, despite being a "non smoking" building. The arcade area is dark and unwelcoming, plus most of the games don't work. The pizza place is more of a latin restaurant and it takes forever to get service. The warm breakfast is made up of bread, bread and more bread. The shower head was missing in the bathroom. There was a clump of red hair on my shower walls, despite no one in my family taking a shower or having red hair. We have a Howard Johnson's ice bucket and a Wyndham soap tray in the room. The surrounding area is sketchy at best. Other than that, it is a great place to test your fear factor skills. I guarantee that the positive comments are from the employees, the pimp out front, or the druggies.

I booked a 3 night stay here with a group of friends to attend Warped Tour. We were looking forward to having an affordable hotel with a pool. The first thing I noticed when we walked in was the smell. It smelt like a combination of stale cigarettes, mildew and mold. We also noticed that pool was still clearly closed from the winter. We got there at the end of June, so it should have been open. Upon further inspection, we found black mold. The entire room was damp, including the carpets, beds and curtains. Only two of the four of us could stay inside because the smell of mold and mildew was so strong that it caused their asthma to act up, resulting in them using so much of their inhaler that they were almost out the next morning when they woke up. They literally had to sleep in their CAR in the 80-90° weather. We spoke to the owner, Ya Wang, and she was not helpful at all. She was actually quite rude, would not show us the full health inspection for the hotel, and put up a fight before ultimately giving us a full refund. Luckily, we were able to find a different hotel that we could breathe in for the remainder of the trip, but not until after we had to cough up an extra few hundred dollars to find another room last minute. We are not the only ones who had this issue; we met several other people who were fleeing to the parking lot to breathe that were also looking for new hotels last minute. If you have any sense of self worth, and care about your health, DO NOT book a room here.

Traveler BEWARE. This place is a dump! Property description: Thug fusion w religious figure identity crisis! Son graduated from USCG training was passing through on coastal drive back toward Philly where flight back to Cali departing. The hotel Name and review from booking.com seemed decent boy were we wrong! Do yourself a favor and drive further to a charming interior inland place. You're welcome!

Seems like it hasn't been cleaned in over a year. The room was relatively clean, but the common areas of the hotel were absolutely disgusting.

Gross place to stay at. If you have another option, I say take it. Customer service: horrible, rooms: horrible, the smell: horrible.. I guess they try to get people in with their free breakfast option, which isn't so great anyways. ((They offer corn flakes, toast, waffle, milk & juice)) Might as well go out grab a better cup of coffee & a muffin somewhere else. Kept worrying about bed bugs. Thank God I didn't get any! Their towels are so thin, as if they've been used for many years. This place is in much needed update & remodel. I'll never be staying here again. (Ended up staying here in a last minute booking..)

This place is absolutely disgusting--don't know how it hasn't been shut down. Stairwells grimy, exterior falling apart, paint peeling, linens old--whole place smells. we left and got money back from Hotwire.

I would give this negative stars if I could. Please save your money. Don't even stay here if it was free. All I can say is GROSS GROSS AND GROSS. Where to start...ripped cover on box spring with all sorts of black spots, filthy. I prayed to God it wasn't bed bugs. Holes in walls in the hallway. Run down is an understatement. I think homeless shelters are in better shape than this sh*t hole. When you walk up the ramp outside all you see are broken blinds and mattresses with the same black spots piled high. Walk into the lobby and you think you're in an episode of Psycho with the weirdest plastic hangings around the front desk. The place smells and it's creepy beyond belief. The towels were FILTHY. The wash clothes had a brown hue to them. The curtains in the room were half eaten by moths. I just cannot stress how important it is to STAY AWAY from this place. It should be condemned and torn down. Filthy, disgusting and that doesn't even give it justice.

The MOST sketchy hotel ever. We stayed for one night here. Filthy rooms, walls were dirty and the rooms smelled so bad! The cleaning ladies kept citrus smelling diffusers in the corners of the room to get the smoke smell out but it was so strong! And it's a non smoking hotel! The hotel entrance was disgusting as well. Could not sleep at all in the beds and did not even use the towels that they gave us. No one has kept this place in good shape.. so sad. DO NOT STAY HERE!

I made the mistake of staying 1 night at the Oh Saint Joseph Hotel on Black Horse Pike. It appears to be collapsing from within and its website is full of false advertising with severely outdated photos of its heyday. I was content to move on from the experience --- until I stepped into the men's bathroom on the 2nd floor. At one point, the bathroom in my hotel room was occupied by my friend, and I recalled seeing a bathroom out in the hall that we'd passed after coming up the stairs. The fact that the banquet/meeting rooms in the hall were padlocked should have been a warning. I had to push the bathroom door as it was stuck and first I thought it was locked; but then it gave in and I stepped into what I can only describe as a deleted scene from the "Saw" horror film franchise, really like nothing I've ever seen in my life with my own eyes. It was dingy and disgusting, like no one had been in there for years. There was garbage strewn all over the place. I'm not sure the lights worked, and I didn't even try the plumbing fixtures; there was what looked like abandoned construction equipment left in the sink. I approached the toilet and did not even want to breathe; I'm pretty sure there was no water in the bowl. From afar, it looked as if someone had defecated, never flushed (or couldn't) and it had solidified around the perimeter. I could not believe what a nightmare was just 2 walls away from my room. The owners clearly maintain the property at the barest minimum, while also neglecting entire areas, rooms, halls, and stairwells. What I found shocking was that they make no effort to conceal or diverge people away from such parts of the property. The fact that there is a marsh ecosystem thriving on top of the outdoor pool cover is evidence. It also became apparent that there are long-term guests at the hotel, and honestly, I feel bad for them that they have to live amidst such squalor. The discovery of the condition of the 2nd floor men's bathroom made me question for a moment whether or not I was in an abandoned building; it is that bad.

We never recomend this hotel to any body To dirty room, horrible and very old bed and towels. We expected more and better service the price of $ 127 dollars was to high for the ugly place we stayed. We never come again to that place.

Very affordable price and nice location comparing to nearby hotel. The room size is spacious enough to fill small family. It is also equipped with abundant utilities and amenities. Breakfast is provided, and gym room has a lot of equipments.

The photos on Travelocity of this place are misleading. It's very filthy, dirty, and smells like mold throughout. Black mold and rust all over the bathroom. Walls falling apart Roach condo. Took a picture of the nasty wall and a roach run out at me. I freaked out and left. Definitely NOT a resort! I reserved 3 nights but stayed 1hr. Left and made reservations at another place. There was COCKROACHES all over my bathroom and in the hallways. The staff was not phased about it at all. Their response was "oh, ok". I was trembling inside and out. BEWARE!

you get what you pay for. Doesn't feel like a deal but doesn't feel like you were overcharged. If you can pay more stay somewhere better. It's a crumbling former Howard Johnson in a swamp. Front desk staff were pretty normal to deal with. it seems like people live here. Our room was moderately clean with a combination of random furniture from older hotels. It's possible some of it came from the Trump Taj bankruptcy liquidation. The bathroom was oddly renovated recently and looked much better than the rest of the hotel?

I don't even know where to start with this place. We couldn't even stay for the one night we booked, it was just too gross. We checked in, then checked out within 15 minutes. Hotels.com had this rated fairly high, and advertised as a family resort... um, no. The pics they had on their site must have been from when they first opened up, because the place was so run down and dirty - looked nothing like what I expected. I wish I had checked this place out on Yelp before booking with Hotels.com. Then I would have known just how terrible this place is. And for that matter, Pleasantville, NJ is a pretty sh*tty place apparently, so I wouldn't recommend booking any hotel in that area of NJ. Pay the higher price to stay in the shore towns. ESPECIALLY if you have kids. This is no place for families.

Dirty towels,Mold everywhere,bed bugs,housekeeping refused to clean my room, disgusting,trash in the hallways,Managere don't give a fuck.carpet have Clorox everywhere

First off this hotel is HORRIBLE. It's disgusting, the staff (particularly the women at the front desk has an attitude). They gave me a room with chipped paint, moldy bathroom shower, and a ripped box spring!!! Are you effing kidding me! When I had to scold them for a new room, my toilet over flooded! Called for help and explained that my situation (not due to my error) and no one came to help. I had to call again 45 min later for them to take another 30min to knock at my door with a plunger and TOWELS. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. SERIOUSLY HOW ARE THEY STILL OPERATING. IT LOOKS LIKE A CRACK HOUSE . I want my money and time back for being wasted. This was suppose to my anniversary weekend and it was RUINED AS WELL AS STRESSFUL!!

The most disgusting place I have ever been to. I dont understand how its legal to rent rooms so disgusting/unkept. Every part of the room was rusted and stained. The room smells. There is mold all in the bathrooms. Place is SKETCHY & disgusting.

It's my fourth time staying at st Joseph. The room is pretty big and price was reasonable. It right on the high way. The bed is a good size and clean room. I like the gym and the pool there. The parking is pretty big too. I would come back again

Booked the room because they said they had a pool and pool tables and tennis courts and all the fun stuff just to get to the run down hotel without anything they offered besides a gym. Deffinatly will not be staying here again based on that and the service that I have been getting I will not be back.there are plenty of hotels for cheaper that have way more accommodations. Wish I knew it was like this before I spent money on this room

I don't want to give even 1 star for this hotel. Filthy, disgusting!!! Don't go here!! The place smelt like pee, vomit, weed, smoke, etc.

I wish there was a way that you could give this place a -0 star. My stay was from July 3-5, 2020. Let me get right to this review....... First and foremost there is NOTHING that suggests this is a got damn RESORT. so they truly need to change the name immediately!!!!! When I first pulled up to the hotel I stopped in the parking lot and immediately start calling nearby hotels because the sight of this hotel looked like a bonified rat hole. Unfortunately everywhere I checked was sold out/no vacancies. Ok so I dragged myself into the hotel. Where the receptionist was it was so dim I couldn't even see her behind the dirty plexiglass and yards of plastic to protect herself from Covid-19. No hand sanitizer in site for the guests. When I say outdated it that's an understatement. Dim lighting, old smelly rugs and they were dirty. There was a couch in the waiting area that I dare not sit on. Check-in went smoothly. The entire hallway leading to the elevator was disgusting. Oh and let's not forget that the hallways were NOT air-conditioned. The elevator did work though. My room was also outdated. All the lights worked as did the refrigerator and the microwave. The room was clean but very old looking. The bed was comfortable. Now the AC in the room, Oh yeah it was on point! The bathroom was ok, however the shower curtain was torn, and the towels looked liked they had many uses. I settled in, then I went for ice. Now why did I do that. There was a roach carrying an egg walking along side the ice machine. That was it for me. As I was exiting the building there were statues knocked down in need of paint. The cement that rests on front of your parking spot many were torn up. Bushes over grown, and let's not talk about the other guests. I'm inclined to believe that this was also homeless shelter. There were too many shady looking characters for me. Upon my return I entered the building from the back and the hallway reeked of marijuana and someone took a piece of the broken tile and wedged it in the doorway as to keep the door open. Unsafe conditions to the 10th power. NEVER AGAIN WOULD I STAY AT THIS RAT HOLE OF A HOTEL. I was totally embarrassed and disgusted to say the least. This is what happens when you book a hotel at the last minute.

It's very old and outdated. They say breakfast included but they only offer cereal, bread, waffles and coffee, that's not breakfast!!!!The pool was dirty and old. I would never come back again.

I have stayed at many hotels and by far "St Josephs Resort is the worst. Friends and I stayed there for three days and I wouldn't NEVER call it a hotel or resort. Upon arriving, the outside was poorly kept and the yellow paint was peeling off the building. There also where these creepy statues that were facing the room windows that looked like people were looking inside of the room windows at night. The grass was tall which made it a mosquito breeding ground. There were also cable and electrical wires on the right side of the building that was going through the inside of an exhaust vent. I am pretty sure that is a safety hazard. They also turned part of the second floor roof into a balcony with no safety rails. There was cigarette ash and buds all over the ground. Also, when we first arrived, there were two drunk people fighting in the parking lot. The front desk was subpar. The arcade was open however, all of the games were out of order. The ice machine was out of order. We had to buy ice from the local Walmart. We also had to continuously change our room key because they always deactivated. The entire hotel smelled like sweat, corn chips, and the air was filled with moisture. It was so moist and humid that i thought there was an indoor pool and jacuzzi. There were two restaurants, one was "out of order", and I NEVER eat from the other. We had to eat out or order take out during the duration of our stay.The walls were cracked and the carpet was dirty. The room where events were held was so close to the rooms that we heard all the music and people that was having an event. The room was also humid and the air was also filled with moisture. The room and bathroom lighting was dim and I found a roach in the shower. We were going to leave but we already payed and all the other places were booked. The the tennis court was filled with overgrown grass and weeds. The pool tiles leading to the pool was loose, cracked and at an inclined position. Both pools water was murky and had debris and insects floating in the water. I was outside for less than ten minutes and I was stung by a wasp and a bee within two minutes apart. The outside bathrooms were open near the pool for the kids and the smell of urine filled the air. There was a shower where could rinse off near the pool. The staff literally put out a water hose for the guess to rinse off at. If I could give this place zero stars I would. I WOULD NEVER ADVISE ANYONE TO STAY THERE. You would be better off staying at a local motel. RUN!!! P.S. ALL OF THE PHOTO'S ON EXPEDIA ARE INACCURATE. THE FRONT DESK IS THE ONLY ACCURATE PICTURE!!!

This place was one of he worst experience! We were very desperate to book a room so had no choice! They had cockroaches on the counter where they served morning breakfast! Also at the bar! They charge 7 dollars for a shot and all the alcohol is just on the shelf some look to be wine that was not chilled! I felt dirty just walking in the hall! It smells and ppl were banging around all night! Screaming and yelling! I really thought the police were going to come! Not a safe place to be. I will never come to this place again!! Very run down old not what the web site showed at all

This hotel is gross. Rust everywhere, cockroaches everywhere, outdated furniture, mini fridge doesnt work, tennis courts are completely ruined, could only go into the pool with manager on sight, sketchy hotel overall, BUT there be one game that caught my attention, Big Buck Hunter Pro. I must've spent 55 dollars in that darn game. My cousins and I spent hours on that damn game and spent 55 each. I would come back to this hotel just to play that gosh darn game. Only thing this hotel has going for it. One major issue of this game however, is that it is missing a shotgun.

1. This hotel put dirty sheets on the bed and then they make you change them. 2 . They have bed bugs . The shower isn't that clean , the hall smells. But the wifi is good , the pool is pretty small but it's ok.

Upon my arrival this place look NOTHING like how the website displayed. It was sketchy the moment I step foot in there. It called St Joseph but I did not feel blessed at all. The smell is horrific of mold, unfortunately the weekend I stayed it was raining which resulted in the ceiling leaking and ceiling tiles falling off with flooding by the back of the hotel mind you I was on the first floor I could not comprehend how this happened. The towels are old, I wouldn't even trust my dog with it. The furnitures are beyond outdated, the mini fridge didn't work, the microwave barely work you literally have to try warming it up 4 times, carpets were not vacuumed, the walls were chipping, the outlet cover fell off. Gym looks like it was last updated 50 years ago. The pool was closed. My roommates and I had to shower multiple times because we felt so disgusted with this place. This place needs to be burned down and started all over again. Please for the love of God do NOT book here. I wouldn't be surprised if I were exposed to asbestos.
