Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a cozy stay with minimally equipped kitchenettes, unfortunately with some lacking features but boasting extremely cozy bathrooms and pleasant views. The location is ideal for those seeking a seaside retreat, though not perfect for all green enthusiasts. The dining options range from several hot choices to pre-packaged products.
I simply loved the hotel's fantastic location, just one block from the beach and close to Asbury boardwalk. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and the bathroom was extremely cozy. However, some kitchen features were a bit unfortunate. The service was exceptional, offering wedding services and helpful tour assistance. The dining experience offered several delicious hot options, and the fresh French patisseries were delightful. Facilities were top-notch, making my stay even more enjoyable.
The hotel is ideally situated near the beach and the vibrant boardwalk of Asbury Park. The rooms are extremely cozy with a well-equipped bathroom but have some unfortunate features. The kitchen is minimal but adequate for basic needs. The service provided is exceptional, offering wedding services, computer connection, and assistance with tours and tickets. The location is convenient for beach lovers and those looking to explore Asbury Park. The staff went out of their way to help us find a Thanksgiving meal when everything was closed, which was greatly appreciated. The dining experience offers several hot options and light bites, catering to different preferences. Despite some minor drawbacks, the hotel offers a comfortable and pleasant stay overall.
