I'd give this hotel a 2.5. Blue Bay Inn was a beautiful hotel with clean rooms and located in a…read morenice part of town within walking distance of the water. We stayed in the king suite which was decently spacious. The hotel overall was cute but I wouldn't say it was as antique as it advertised. Having said all that we were disappointed with the price which was $200+ per night for a cool weekend in early October (i.e. not the busy summer season). The tv in the room was finicky and was pretty old. The available tv channels were so-so. There wasn't any breakfast served in the morning unless you wanted to pay at the restaurant down stairs. The wifi was impressively slow. The bathroom looked like every other hotel bathroom I've ever seen. Their phones were down the entire weekend so we had to walk downstairs if we needed to talk to somebody. They did serve coffee in the morning but it was the basic Keurig coffee. Again we liked the hotel, but after some discussion we thought 100-150 per night would have been more reasonable.

I stayed here a week for work, as did my coworker. I am sad of the prior reviews, since I had an…read moreexcellent experience! The room was very clean, had a very comfortable bed, and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The room had a very clean bathroom, supplied with shampoo, conditioner, soap and all the towels you need. My room included a desk, tv in the armoise with three large drawers for clothes. In the closet, there was an extra blanket, iron and iron table and suitcase holder. I enjoyed the free water, apples, tea and coffee in the lobby. Room service was terrific and the lobby manager called me once because I set a do-not-disturb and asked if I still wanted room service. The staff throughout the entire week greeted me and were very friendly. I am looking forward to visiting Atlantic Highlands, NJ again and to stay here.

We returned for a second visit, again with the fur baby in tow. This time we stayed in the massive…read moreroom 201 and same great experience with a better shower, balcony and less dog poop (although some people still need to learn to clean up after their dogs). Upgrade your room it is worth it. The staff here are gems!

We had a delightful stay at the Bungalow for a family holiday event with 55 of us together for a…read morewhole weekend. The rooms were lovely, clean, and comfortable. The event room accommodated our large family and we enjoyed using the spacious lobby/game room as well. The coffee bar with fresh fruit and pastries was convenient and plentiful every morning. We were steps away from the boardwalk, beach, and restaurants. The best part aside from our family was the amazing staff. They could not do enough for us and always with a smile. Thanks to all of them but in particular - Lynn, Nick, and Tyra for continuously being available for all our needs! Special thanks to Alison too for our bazillion questions and details! And Kate was on hand to help us out as well. (Hope I didn't leave anyone out - we thank you all and hope to be back!!)

This is a great hotel with excellent staff and the North Suite was a highlight despite some quirks…read more We stayed at The Oyster Point Hotel over Christmas while visiting family and had a very positive overall experience, even with a few hiccups along the way. The front desk staff was professional and courteous. One young man was clearly in training, and the young woman guiding him was extremely knowledgeable and polite which to me was a great example of mentorship done right. Unfortunately, our original room had a heater that was rattling loudly and had pooled water on top of it, which I recorded and showed to the front desk. To their credit, maintenance responded quickly, and the technician was friendly, professional, and even helped move my luggage. He brought us keys to a new room, and the front desk upgraded us to the North Suite, which was an incredibly thoughtful gesture. The North Suite was fantastic with a large space with a massive balcony and beautiful views, along with a comfortable seating area outside. Sadly, due to the season, it was too cold to enjoy the balcony, but we appreciated the feature. That said, the suite wasn't perfect: The shower area was oddly dark, with little lighting. There was no air vent in the bathroom, which seemed unusual. The sink was smaller than the one in the standard suite. Neither of the two TVs worked, though I didn't want to complain during the stay and just mentioned it at checkout. The bathroom door didn't latch, which was a minor but noticeable issue. The smoke detector is missing from the ceiling, which gave me pause. Despite those flaws, the service and staff stood out. I witnessed two bar employees being rudely berated by guests over late food (which obviously wasn't their fault), and they handled the situation with professionalism and calm. I was so impressed by their professionalism under pressure (and so thoroughly disgusted by that table of senior citizens who should know better than to act that way) that I tipped each of them $50 each on top of our drink tab to make up for how poorly they were treated. Speaking of which, the bar area is a wonderful little spot, with friendly staff and the occasional live music, making it a fun place to unwind without leaving the hotel. The cocktails are excellent as well. This hotel has long been our go-to when in town, and while there were a few issues this time, the staff's attentiveness and care truly made the experience special. We're already looking forward to our return in 2026. TIP: Be mindful of where you park! The handicap parking is limited, and one of the spaces is under a tree that's heavily populated with birds. Our car was completely covered in bird droppings. I mean absolutely covered. Avoid that spot if you can.
