Always loved this place. Even with former owners before they improved the Tiki Bar area. Location is the key! Pricey during summer but a bargain off season. Views of Shrewsbury River and ocean depending on the room. Nice private beach across street. Clean large pool area. Italian Restaurant next door and Tiki bar out back. Friendly staff. Comfy average motel... More

First off, I had such a fun time here. However, if you are used to expensive hotels, bougie bedrooms, and an uptight atmosphere, then this is not the place to stay. This was the last hotel my friend and I could find near Sandy Hook, so we booked it. It was approx. $60/night for each of us. We had seen... More

My family goes to Sandy Hook all the time, all the seasons, so we've been driving past the Fairbanks for years. When my husband and I were looking for an inexpensive weekend getaway to celebrate our 25th anniversary, he thought of the Fairbanks. Hotel personnel were so accommodating, even through a change in management, as we postponed and rescheduled at... More

We were looking for a place near Sandy Hook and Gunnison Beach, that we had heard so much about. Not being familiar with that part of NJ we relied on the internet to locate accommodations.

And it definitely seemed on the upswing - tidy and quaint on the outside, helpful and nice counter staff, cute little "tiki" bar with outdoor tables and an adorable... More

We arrived on 8/13 for a family vacation for 4 nights. Had read the reviews but a friend lives in nearby Atlantic Highlands so if it was bad, we had another option to reside for the week. Location is great! Room/"resort" needs work. But it was clean and my family of 4 got a great night of sleep each night.... More

Our 2 night stay here was terrific. The staff are alll helpful, courteous and attentive to your needs. Room was clean and we will defintely be back for another stay. I recomend this place for a no frills jersey shore get away.

A1 location, total poolness, the room was typical, needed cosmetics, however I could totally overlook it. if your going to spend your time in the room and not outside then I'm sure its that type of person to rant about the rooms. anyway definitely going back in sept. For our 9th anniv. I was very pleased, nice staff, pool and... More
