The hotel is beautiful and it felt like every single piece of furniture and decorations were chosen intentionally. Perhaps the best part of our stay was the phenomenal, friendly and attentive service from manager Emily. Truly a gem of a person, and made sure everything we needed was available. Would also like to highlight that Emily reached out even before our stay begun to ask if we needed anything upon arrival or had any questions. All requests were met and Emily was prompt to answer all questions. I would highly recommend The James Bradley to anyone thinking of visiting. If you're looking for a quick vacation out of this city, this is the place, so easy to get to, the town has wonderful restaurants/bars and the beach was beautiful (even if it was too cold to hang out). Can't wait to find a reason to return.

I'm all for minimalism but there needs to be functionality behind it. As for breakfast; more gluten free options please! And the soft boiled eggs we chose were either cooked too hard or way undercooked. The yogurt and fruit was delicious! Our server was great.

We stayed in Vermont Room (3rd floor), Savannah Room (3rd floor), Southern Exposure (4th Floor), and Summer Cottage A (side building). All rooms were excellent! Joe and Kelsey are amazing hosts and very responsive to texts/questions. All the staff is great. There is a beautiful rooftop deck that we enjoyed at night after dinner. Great for socializing. There is also a room with a couch on the 4th floor for gatherings/gaming systems for young kids. Breakfast every morning was delicious!!! Each morning there was a specialty option, as well as eggs and bacon plus homemade breads and muffins. My mouth is watering just thinking about the delicious egg sandwich Joe made. You can get a beach pass through them ($8 daily), which is $2 cheaper than purchasing at the beach entrance. The inn is a quick walk to the beach, it's in a perfect location. The inn is also not a far walk to Asbury Park (leisurely walk took us about 20 minutes). With traveling with a young baby and all the beach stuff they need, having a room on the 4th floor could have been a little complicated, but luckily, we had a parking spot right out in front to pack away our stuff each day. Make sure when selecting your room you are paying attention to which floor it is on. Overall we had a great time and cannot wait to come back! The Inn was perfect for a vacation with family! Thank you Joe, Kelsey and staff.

MY VEHICLE WAS VANDALIZED BY EMPLOYEE ASSOCIATES OF THE INN!…read moreWhen parking on the street in the appropriate designated parking places.I was demanded by employee associate SOLOMON NOT TO PARK ON THE STREET IN FRONT OF THE INN.

I reached out to meet with them in March to go over some things and was bothered that we had no written agreement. My questions were answered, left thinking everything was fine. The next day I receive an email not even the decency of a phone call to inform us the wedding reception is not in line with the hotel whatever that means and they canceled the reservation for September, 5 months before the wedding. Needless to say they are very dishonest, the reason they gave doesn't hold up. We had spoken at length with the chef about meals, music, dancing area and was now told the reason was, they don't do that kind of reception! We also knew of noise restrictions for Ocean Grove and booked DJ accordingly. My personal feeling is they booked the entire hotel for 3 days including the day we reserved. We booked the entire hotel and this boils down to they got a better offer with more money for full booking. After receiving this email I went on the hotel booking site and saw all three days blocked which is not what we reserved. We had reserved the whole hotel for Saturday, When I questioned this I was told they had blocked the 3 days for us. Not true, we never asked for that. My advice, stay away or get in writing from very beginning so you can take legal recourse if this happens to you. We are left scrambling to find a venue. On a side note I went on their site this morning, that weekend is still blocked and we were already canceled so that speaks for itself! As far as we are concerned at this point, we feel this happened for a reason!

Splinter HELL, I hope you don't want ice…read more This hotel was fantastic at first, especially the corner pool terrace suite. Easy access to the pool, large and lots of light. But my god, it is splinter hell. Us, along with 3 other families that we knew of, were realizing at the pool that us and our kid's feet were completely full of splinters. We spent a total of about 3 hours at the pool over 2 days and my four year old had over 50 splinters in each foot! I had about 10 and spouse a few less. My four year old will not even let me look at his foot, nevertheless remove the splinters - yeah right. I think we are going to need to get sedated. This has ruined the stay to be honest. The hotel also didn't have tweezers. At least two families complained and nothing seemed to be done about it. The deck is extremely dry. This wouldn't be a hard problem to solve. ICE. I requested ice about 20 different ways, because there is no ice machine so they say just request it: - through the app on their tablet (3x, nothing) - through calling the front desk (2x, nothing) - in person at the front desk (2x, nothing) - through text to the front desk (4x, nothing) - in person to the person that came to the room one night (2x, 1x worked!) I got ice once, woohoooooo! The tablet is a joke. I needed an extra bedsheet and requested it through the tablet and it never came. In person at the front desk it did, however. Beautiful hotel, but the splinters ruined it. You could not pay ME to stay somewhere that my autistic kid gets 100 splinters in his feet. The hotel is feeling a bit neglected in some ways. Our "terrace" had algae on the deck area, one couch cushion had a big brown spot and there was half of a DEAD BIRD on our terrace. It was there the whole time. Of course my 4 year old was enthralled.Yay.

Well, when we got to our room (16) it felt as though it had not been cleaned for awhile, never mind this thorough cleaning we were being sold. The ceiling fan had a layer of blade dust and the sheet had a spot of blood. Dresser drawers had not been wiped clean and had a broken light switch in one. The overall outside of the building was breaking down and all of the outdoor furniture had stains and burn holes. The best part of our stay was our room had a balcony. Once we cleaned the outdoor furniture we were able to enjoy the outside area. Hope they will return this once OG gem back to the clean, well kept inn we once enjoyed.

The inn is clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The breakfasts were excellent and one of the many things that made staying here such a great experience. The location is also hard to beat-- a 2 block walk to the beach and a short drive to Main Street, making it easy to enjoy everything Belmar has to offer. What stood out most to me was the hospitality. Staying somewhere for nearly a month gives you a much different perspective than a quick weekend trip, and throughout my entire stay Bill and Linda consistently made me feel welcome and appreciated. Thank you both for making my extended stay feel like home. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend the Inn at the Shore to anyone visiting the area. 10/10.

And I'm a partier so I'm usually unbothered by a little noise. if IM complaining about noise that's a bad sign. Aside from that the rooms aren't very welcoming. The uncarpeted floors have a cold vibe and the old air conditioner from the 80s sounded like it was on its last leg. The price of the room is that of a 5 star hotel and the lobby and event spaces are amazing. But the hotel rooms themselves feel like a 2 star hotel unfortunately. Really needs an update. The bed was comfortable but the furniture, the noise, and the old AC system were surprisingly low effort. I wouldn't stay here again unless I absolutely had to due to proximity to their event space.

So The Asbury Hotel did what it needed to do--it housed me for a Jersey Shore visit. The rooms are…read morevery unique. Cute, though I wouldn't exactly say cozy. I'm so glad they furnished the room with a noise maker, because my goodness, the construction by the boardwalk right now is loud and the lobby is popping. The room phone does not connect with the front desk. That works through a text system. I highly prefer to just be able to call, and this felt like one of those modern updates that are actually less convenient. I ordered room service, and here is where I would give 5 out of 5 stars - the staff here was very friendly and sweet. The spinach and egg white wrap I got? Y'all, skip it! I'd even say, please take this off the menu. I couldn't eat it. The mushrooms were chewy and tough. And the combination of everything was almost muddy? I'd suggest maybe trying to dress the spinach and seasoning the eggs. The coffee was fine. I highly preferred the espresso! Not bad, but I might go elsewhere next time.
