The Bellmoor Inn & Spa

We liked that there was breakfast and bar restaurant. They had 2 pools and a hot tub. Nice area to sit in at night with a fish pond. Rooms had a small fridge and air-conditioner. Beds were comfortable. There was a parking lot for the car and also a beach shuttle. 2/3 blocks from the beach and close to restaurants in town. The staff was very friendly and willing to help you.

The room was clean and comfortable and a good size. Service was excellent. Great breakfast. Free cookies and lemonade each afternoon. Great location. Short walk to beach and the main street with all the shops and restaurants. Didn't use the spa but it looked nice.

The hotel and all staff was excellent. Close to the beach and all entertainment. Highly recommended and worth the price.

This was our second stay at the Bellmoor but we won't be returning. We first visited in 2023 + we only stayed for 1 night. We loved the garden room we booked, amenities, and close proximity the Inn offered to the boardwalk/beach. This time around, we stayed for 2 nights to better enjoy amenities around the property but were disappointed with the interactions we had with the front desk staff after the Inn charged us $1,000 extra for our stay. The longer we stayed this time, the more the rose colored glasses came off. After reading other reviews, we agree with many of the complaints about quality vs price of stay. After losing this money to the company, we can't recommend anyone stay here. ‼️ If you need to be refunded by the Bellmoor Inn & Spa, that money won't be yours again before the end of your vacation. It's currently 5 business days later on a normal summer week, and our $1,000+ refund still hasn't cleared. Not having money on our vacation (and back in the real world, now) overshadowed the rest of the experience ‼️ We paid ahead, in full, using the Flex Pay service offered directly through booking on their website to avoid expenses upon arrival, streamline check-in, and to have designated spending money for our anniversary vacation. If you book a stay here and use the Flex Pay "buy now pay later" service, you NEED to mention that you have paid in full when you check in. Otherwise, you will be charged and unlikely to receive a refund. We checked in Friday, weren't told at check-in that any charges would be made yet; assumed accumulated parking, extra room charges, etc would be charged at check-out. The $1K+ charge immediately came out of my account last Friday, and we spoke with the front desk to have that refunded. It seemed to be resolved: refund processing on their end, we should be seeing it pending shortly. When I didn't see the money in my account by Sunday morning, we went back to the front desk to get an email confirmation of the refund prior to check out. At the front desk when approached, Sue came off very flustered, impatient, and confused. We gave our info and explained that we had been overcharged, a refund was being processed, and that we would just like an email confirmation. She immediately assumed that we didn't and weren't willing to pay for the second portion of our stay and didn't listen to our actual problem. Sue said things like "I can't let you check out", "I don't know who you paid", "we need our money", and overall didn't think we paid for our stay. We showed her the email confirmation through Flex Pay that we were paid in full, and she continued to be defensive and accusatory. Still unaware of Flex Pay. Sue eventually looked at our account and saw that we HAD in fact paid in full; Flex Pay would be charged at check-out, not our personal card. Now that she had solved her own problem, Sue tried to usher us away STILL without our confirmation email! When she realized she was wrong, she never apologized or backtracked the accusations she made (in front of other guests), she said she wasn't aware because she is "only part-time". The final time we asked for the confirmation with Sue, she said that a manager would need to help us with that request. We offered to wait for the manager, but Sue said she had "no clue" when a manager would be in. Keep in mind, this was 9 am on Sunday when many guests will be checking out by the 11 am deadline. She insisted that we didn't wait, and resolve it at check-out instead. We went back to our room upset and dissatisfied. At 11 am checkout, the full front desk staff was there, including a manager. We check out with Sue, not being addressed by any other employees. Sue was quiet and prompt, never offering an apology for her misunderstanding before. After checking out, I went back in to privately speak with the general manager, Garth. He offered an apology, better training, and a refund "soon". It is now the next Saturday (8 days after the initial refund, 5 business days) and I have not received the email confirmation or refund. I appreciated his response, but it was little more than the general responses you see on google. I cannot stress enough how understanding we were the entire weekend that the bank process takes time, but we were $1K+ short our entire vacation. To Mgmt: this is your second review recently to mention Sue by name. She was the worst person we experienced all weekend. She's a part time employee, and I am a 1 time guest. For any staff processing payments, they need to know all the ways guests can pay. If a staff member can't be trained to treat guests with more respect, they should not be speaking to guests. I urge you to review the front dest footage from our initial interaction with her on Sunday for a "How Not To Treat Guests" tutorial. Your Inn is too expensive to speak to any guest that way. ⭐️ Sunday morning, I would've left a 5 star review given the sentimental value this place holds for and how the overcharge mishap was handled up to that point. The interaction with Sue soured the weekend and experience of the Inn as a whole for us. And NOW it has been 5 business days since we requested a refund and Bellmoor has not given us our money back. Our bank says the Bellmoor won't release the money, the Bellmoor says they don't have the money. This vacation was a waste and we have no idea when our money will be returned to us. We've spoken to the Inn multiple times and they've offered no solution!

We’ve been visiting the Bellmoor for 13 years. The grounds are well kept. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff is always accommodating and helpful. The breakfast is a wonderful perk. Always look forward to our next visit.
