Please add 13.625% NJ State Hotel/Motel tax to published rates.

Balance is due upon check-in and is payable by cash, traveler’s checks, certified bank check, money order and credit/debit card. We do not accept personal checks upon check in, but you are welcome to pay your balance in full with personal check at least three weeks prior to arrival.

We request a 30% deposit of the total bill, including taxes, to reserve a room.

Upon check-in, we will request the balance, a credit card to swipe to keep on file for incidentals and your car information, including your license plate number. Please come prepared in order to streamline the check-in process. Please be sure to review your confirmation prior to check-in to ensure that all the details are correct.

In the event of a cancellation of a confirmed reservation, 75% of your reservation deposit will be refunded if notified before 4 weeks prior to your arrival date. There is no refund of deposit on cancellations made less than 4 weeks prior to your arrival date. Sorry, there are no exceptions. Deposit may not be applied to next season and is not transferable. Guests cannot sublet their reservation to another guest. There are no refunds for early check-outs, inclement weather or no-shows.

The guest is responsible for payment of all nights reserved. If we have a vacancy for the new dates your party is interested in, we would be happy to accommodate your reservation change, provided you are making the request outside our 4-week cancellation deadline. Cancelling one or more nights may not be possible. Sorry, but subletting your room is not permissible.

Check-in is guaranteed by 3 PM and check-out is prior 11 AM. You are welcome to use the facilities after check-out, however cars must be removed from our lot by 11 AM.

We cannot guarantee an early check-in, however, if your room is prepared we will be happy to allow you to check-in prior to 3 PM. You are welcome to enjoy our property while you are waiting. We apologize, but we cannot offer late check-outs due to our need to have adequate time to properly prepare our rooms before the next party arrives.

Off-street parking is provided for one car per unit and is strictly enforced. Non-registered cars will be ticketed. Two parking spaces are provided for the F and F+ units, provided they can fit in the designated parking spots in the garage. There is free parking beginning one block from the motel. The meters across the street are free overnight, from 10 PM – 8 AM.

We provide one parking spot per unit, which is not specifically designated and is contingent on the vehicle being able to fit in the available parking spots. Over-sized vehicles are not guaranteed special parking and may need to park at the meters or along the street if their vehicle cannot fit in available parking.

We do our very best to accommodate specific requests, however rooms are guaranteed by category A – F only, not by specific number or location.

Rental minimums vary depending on availability and time of the season. There is a 3-night minimum for a majority of the season, though at times one- or two-night stays become available.

It is the responsibility of the guest to book their vacation for the following season. While we have many repeat guests, the Armada management does not presume that a guest or group of guests will return the following season and cannot be held responsible to book a guest’s room for the following year upon check-out without a reservation request. Please inquire upon check-out for further details.

Tables are provided on the sundeck for all guests to enjoy during their stay. We apologize, but we cannot provide additional tables for groups, due to the fact that the sundeck is available for the enjoyment of all guests. Please be considerate of other guests when utilizing the amenities with your party. Please, no moving tables from one room to another.

No, we are happy to say that we do not charge beach fees!
