The "L" is a typical shape for a Doo Wop motel, but this one is more like a "7". The L-shaped pool is located inside the 7. The prow roof is expressed on the Ocean Avenue facade.

While the Crest has always been best known for its incomparable collection of architecturally-diverse mid-century motels, the Captain's Table stood out as a 'Doo Wop' classic in its own right. Yet another of Lou Morey's unique inventions, it consistenly earned rave reviews (including several Zagat ratings) as one of the top seafood restaurants at the Jersey Shore. Unfortunately, it fell along with scores of the island's motels during the condo boom of the early 2000s.
