I felt a little awkward posing for photos, but she made us feel at ease and comfortable. When I got the photos back, they turned out even better than I hoped, I honestly cannot stop looking at them! I feel that she really captured our "vibe" and we both truly look like ourselves in the photos, which is so important. Highly recommend!

He wanted to…read moreknow who we were why we were there, and his friends would not stop staring at us as if we were a freak show. Very uncomfortable. Not only that, but when we made our way down to the pool him and his friends were smoking pot and it was wafting over to the pool area where there were multiple families, including my own. My opinion is he should be less worried about who is pulling up to the hotel and we're concerned about families that paid a lot of money to stay there having to deal with the ungodly amount of pot smell. Also, the pool closed at 6pm. Never again.!

TOP NOTCH!! I have…read moreworked with a lot of professional photographers in my career, and Doyle is top notch. He does a great job of relaxing his subjects and taking shots that look very natural, and not "posed." He also has a way of drawing out the individual's personality and portraying them in the most favorable light. The cost was also very reasonable. I urge you to use him most highly!

Doyle was fantastic to work with for our wedding and I highly recommend him for wedding…read morephotography. Upon meeting Doyle he made us feel comfortable with the process and offered great recommendations regarding unique and breathtaking locations. Doyle listened to our interests and concerns before building out a plan for the wedding day which included location recommendations for pictures before, during, and after the wedding. After our initial discussion Doyle sent us google map links to a number of locations for us to check out based on our discussion and interests. He nailed all of them. Doyle was prompt and unobtrusive on the day of the wedding. I would say the best compliment I can give Doyle is that his "journalistic" style allowed us to get fantastic candid shots from the wedding throughout the day. Doyle was courteous and conscious of the surroundings and made all of the guest feel comfortable with his presence and was able to capture the personality of the guests through photographs. Doyle delivered our pictures within his proposed timeframe and his pricing structure was extremely reasonable given the quality of work and professionalism. We were extremely satisfied with Doyle's work and would definitely give him our highest compliments for wedding photography. If we ever need professional photography services in the future Doyle will be our first call.

Astronaut Management: Please Clone Jackie…read more Our family has been coming to the Astronaut for over 30 years, so this is a place that holds countless memories and has truly become part of our family tradition. After all those years, you notice when someone comes along who genuinely makes a difference, and Jackie has absolutely done that. Jackie is a newer face to us in the office, but the positive impact she has made as manager is impossible to miss. She is welcoming, kind, attentive, and always willing to help. She takes genuine pride in the Astronaut, and that shows in everything she does. One thing I feel is especially important to mention is the difference we've noticed with housekeeping. When Jackie herself was responsible for the cleaning, our accommodations were always pristine. Her attention to detail and the standard she maintained were exceptional. Unfortunately, since the decision was made to use an outside cleaning service rather than keeping housekeeping in-house, that same consistency simply hasn't always been there. The outside service seems to be inconsistent in both scheduling and the thoroughness of the cleaning, and unfortunately, it is the Astronaut as a whole that receives the negative reviews when something isn't properly cleaned. Having been guests here for more than three decades, it's difficult to see the property's reputation affected by something that doesn't reflect the level of care we've personally seen Jackie put into this place. I sincerely hope the owners reconsider the decision to outsource housekeeping and eventually return to an in-house system. We have seen firsthand what the Astronaut can look like when housekeeping is held to Jackie's standard, and the difference is remarkable. Through it all, Jackie continues to go above and beyond for her guests and for this property. She has brought such a positive energy to a place our family already loves, and the Astronaut is incredibly fortunate to have someone who cares as much as she does. After more than 30 years of coming here, we have a lot of wonderful memories at the Astronaut, and we're very happy to have Jackie becoming part of them.

Perfect location - hotel located directly on the beach, with 2 private stairways to enter the sand…read more the pool is medium sized, and sits right along side the sand. There is a hose/shower area to wash off before entering your room by the stairs closet to the hotel. The pool has a sundeck attached to it with chairs, tables, and grills. You can lay out there and watch the pool or the sand. There's an awesome slide inside of the pool too. the hotel itself is only 3 floors, no elevator, but the stairs arent to steep. there is another sundeck on the 3rd floor on the other side of the hotel with an ice machine, tables, and multiple grills. The staff is very friendly and professional. Hotel property and room are very clean. Where things lost a star for me, were the room itself. unfortunately our listing on booking.com described the room differently that what we ended up with. however, it was priced very well. what i found odd was the rugs in the room. i feel at the jersey shore, sand and water will harbor smells and mildew in the rooms. i think they should rip them up. i didnt want to walk on the carpet. overall, our room was dark and in the corner. no view of anything. however, it was clean. the beds were okay, not the best but not the worst. tv was modern and great. the bathroom was small, but had a window with strong water pressure and hot water. we had a microwave and a small fridge. near the windows we had a nice kitchen table. every room comes with 2 chairs and a small table in front of your window to enjoy the outside. its very quiet and family friendly. the parking is 1 spot per room so keep that in mind. we checked out on a sunday, and were allowed to keep the car in the lot until 130 pm. i would gladly stay here again, but not choose the economy room. the hotel is clean, convientent and has great staff.

Needing only one night I tried to book something we could walk to dining. Arrived about 1:30 to see if we could check in early, we could. The front desk lady was funny and personable. She was efficient with check in/checkout rules, hotel features. All rooms are keyless. Upon entering the room has been fully updated, bright, clean but on the small side. The pool busy but the noise couldn't be heard in our room. Kitchenette had a stainless steel fridge and a four burner gas stove. Everything you need to prepare a meal. Plenty of towels in the bathroom. Air conditioner worked a little to well in our room, it was freezing. Two pool showers, one pubic pool restroom, small designated smoking area, ice machine that actually works. WI-FI signal strong with no issues. Start of the boardwalk across the street. This motel was awesome and I actually think I like it better than our normal place. Two things I'd change. The parking. Finding a spot to fit our small SUV was challenging, only three available with two having poles making them even smaller than the other. The walk to the beach.
