The Amethyst Beach Motel

This is without doubt the worst accommodation I have ever stayed in. The place was rundown and the staff were non-attentive. The walkways were all worn out rubber The room smelt stale. The carpet was so dirty our socks picked up hairs and filth and had to be thrown away before we left. The bed smelt of stale sweat and the pillows were disgusting We did not sleep in the bed, but on it fully dressed. The toilet didn’t work properly. there were stains all over the carpet ceiling and the walls. The windows were not clean the curtains were stained. The level of lighting was completely inadequate. The bathroom was antiquated but there was hot water so we could at least feel clean when we left in the morning. They should’ve paid me to stay there. It is worse than a penitentiary. This is without doubt a shabby rundown Bates motel If you stay there, you need your head examined.

Came to point pleasant for the day to enjoy the beach. Booked this motel online after reading some reviews, both good and bad, and decided to give it a try. The bad reviews don’t paint an accurate picture if just how horribly maintained this motel is. The woman on the phone prior to our arrival was very pleasant and even “upgraded” our room at no additional cost. Well I’d hate to see what we would have gotten if she didn’t. The stairs and the walkway are scary to say the least and the rubber on the floor is buckled making it even harder to navigate while carrying your belongings to your room. The room was a decent size and “clean” but so outdated and unkempt that the light fixtures were hanging off. You have a small fridge and microwave in what I believe would be a closet. You definitely want to stop before your arrival and grab some water or drinks because they don’t offer you any and can’t give you change for the machine on the side of the establishment (which didn’t take dollars anyway). Didn’t use the pool but I would say it’s the only thing the maintain. It was clean from what I could see. They charged an up charge for parking, 25$, a 40$ “misc fee” plus a 15$ “resort” fee bringing my total for one night in this dump to 300$. I could have stayed in a 4 star hotel for a night for that much! How do they justify their fees?? I know this is a family owned business and I understand times are tough. But you owe it to yourselves as business owners and to the people choosing your services to put some of that ridiculous fees to upgrading your motel. Just truly a disappointment!

We needed a place to stay last minute and luckily they had a room. Great location for us. Walk to and from Boardwark/Attractions. On street parking was available and was free. Room was nice and clean. If all you need is a bed,shower and TV, this is great place. There is a pool but we were there for the beach. Coffee and muffins in the morning was simple and nice. Clean and convenient not frilly. Would come back here.
