蔚藍之水酒店(Blue Water Inn)

I’m not sure if the following is true for every room but ours was a nightmare. Water damage in the bathroom, broken blinds, moldy faucet. We actually wore shoes everywhere- even in the shower because is just felt unclean. Extremely uncomfortable bed - the list could go on and on. The only Pro was the location. I only stayed one night.

The hotel was okay. When I arrived I was worried because reviews were not good. The main entrance stairway was very sandy and had not been vacuumed for a while. There was a used medical glove on the stairs. This disappeared by the time I got my car parked and came back up the stairs. My main complaint was that they asked me for my drivers license and credit card, which is normal but then they made copies of them and kept them in a shoe box size file box out on the desk behind the counter. The counter was open to the public...in other words you could walk behind it ...no locked gate. When I was checking out I asked for the copies of my credit card to be destroyed or at least given back to me. They refused because it had to be kept with my paper file. I think this is dangerous because it was not secured and I had paid up front with my reservation. I would never go back because of the check-in and checkout procedure. I will always be worried someone with get my credit card and have a copy of my license.

The room was dirty. Used towels and old socks were left in the room. The flush mechanism on the toilet was broken. I stayed here last summer and was satisfied but it seems to have gone down hill since then. The porch needed sweeping, there was no complimentary coffee offered in the morning as there had been previously.

Sad to say this was not a pleasant experience. The building is falling apart and clearly is breaking some sort of building code. I stayed on the third floor in a room that the floors were literally slanted because it appears the building is beginning to fall. The toilet didn’t fully flush, and the shower floor was broken. There was black mold on the ceiling , the tv barely worked. The mini fridge was not plugged into the wall but the electrical ***** that looked older than myself, and had a strange odor. The ac unit in the window worked well enough but was plugged into a broken outlet that touched the bed and was definitely a fire hazard. My partner and I went out to buy cheap sheets and a blanket because the bed looked gross and stained. I barely slept through the night because I was so nervous I was going through the floor. And there was no staff there at night to even complain to. We only had to be here for a single night and even that was too much. The walk to the pier was the only positive note about this place because it was so close.

This was our second stay. The room we stayed in (23) was horrible. Upon entering each day, we were greeted with a distinct mildew smell. It was gross and unmistakable. The bed linens were not clean and the tv was incredibly difficult to operate. For what OC properties are charging, this property is in desperate need of updating. Under no circumstances should a room smell like mildew and I should not see brown ceiling tiles.

Older property if you appre iate that. Smallest shower ever, old mattresses and pillows. Quiet, no light blocking blinds , so you'll be up early. Should have coffee in the lobby.

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Location was perfect shot to Beach and Boards. Pool was warm. Shower was unfortunately boiling hot or ice cold. Cable went out on one of the tvs. Beds were comfy. Would try again

Basic older motel, room smaller than pictured, bed not comfortable, a bit rundown.

Blue Water Inn is dated and needs improvements, but its best aspect is that it is close to the Boardwalk where there is shopping and eateries. It is an older building. The lobby was nice and the desk help and cleaning lady were nice and helpful. Beds were a little hard. The price was a plus compared to other properties. We could see using it again- especially if the owner did some needed improvements to the rooms and hallways. Room closing hooks added would be a plus addition. It was clean and doable since most of the time you are out and about.
