Luna-Mar Motel — Hotel in Seaside Park

We recently stayed at the Luna Mar in Seaside Park, New Jersey, and had a fantastic experience. Our group consisted of two families: ours, with twin boys aged 4, and another family visiting from Italy with teenagers aged 13 and 15. Despite booking last minute, the owner, Tom, and his wife, Anna, were incredibly accommodating and welcoming.

The room was clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable stay for both families. The hotel's location is ideal, being close to the beach, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The beach badges provided by the hotel were a great bonus, allowing us to spend our first day on the sand.

The following morning, before checking out, we made good use of the pool. Additionally, the hotel's proximity to the boardwalk meant we could easily walk to enjoy the rides with the kids and have a delightful dinner.

A thoughtful touch was providing bagels and coffee in the morning, which made for a perfect sendoff. Overall, I highly recommend Luna Mar and would definitely return. Tom and Anna’s hospitality, combined with the hotel’s excellent location and amenities, made our stay...

Visited with my daughter as a final getaway before school begins. So thankful we found the Luna Mar. From the moment we made the reservation with Tom, we were made to feel welcome. I don’t know of any other shore motel where the owner comes out to welcome you and shake your hand when you check in. He always seems to be out and about working on the place. Our room was perfect. Spotlessly clean and with a great view. The microwave and fridge were a nice bonus. The free WiFi worked throughout our stay. I loved the coffee and bagels they provide every morning. This place truly values their guests. My daughter had a blast on their pool and the other guests were nice to chat with. Our family has long been visitors to Point Pleasant, but as that has gone a bit downhill, Seaside Heights and Park have been on an upswing. The hotel is right across the street from Seaside Park beach which is guarded, clean, and friendly. The hotel even provided beach passes. And it’s only a few blocks away from the boardwalk rides, games, and restaurants. We...

The hotel was nice, but there was a misunderstanding. On the phone I asked for three nights and was quoted a price for three nights. They sent a confirmation email, I read only the subject line "reservation confirmation" and was naive enough to think it would match the phone conversation. After two nights , they called us on the beach, we were told to leave, no rooms available. I understand these things happen. But they made no effort to help us find another hotel. They treated us like criminals trying to steal another night. We quickly packed up, wet, sandy and in tears. If they had lifted a finger to call neighboring hotels I'd have been so grateful. We found a nice place in Seaside Heights, it was surprisingly very quiet. We loved the sunset from the pier on Sunset beach, and enjoyed the fireworks from right outside our hotel. I would recommend reading all emails very carefully, printing them out and be prepared to defend your...
