Quaint and no-frills, but great location, good price, and it gets the job done…read more Check-in is super easy, you can arrive after-hours if you must. It is billed as a B&B, so we sampled the options one of the mornings during our stay. Coffee and water, mandarins, and store bought coffee cakes were out, and the proprietor, who was super kind during the stay, made some scrambled eggs, which were really delicious. He had some bread and cinnamon raisin bread out, too, which we toasted. The room was decently sized and fairly clean, though there were some ants. One oddity is the bathroom situation. Our room had a private bathroom, which was a deal breaker for us. You can request that when you book. Most rooms share bathrooms - there are a few in the halls. The walls are pretty thin, and there was a definite clomper present during our visit, so we heard them a-clompin' from time to time. Overall, though, it didn't detract for us. The third floor has a nice little lounge and TV room if you need to stay indoors awhile, plus there are porches out front and on the second floor. Bonus points because at the entrance they sell "ping pong pals," which are ping pong balls with mini sunglasses. That's the stuff bonus points were made for. Extra bonus points for the single best selling point about this place - the location. They are a five minute walk from Ocean Grove's Main Street with its nice coffeeshops, bakeries, delis, shops, etc; less than five minutes walking gets you to the beach; and about 5-10 minutes across the bridge gets you to Asbury's main dining/night life area. That makes for an incredibly convenient stay. We were satisfied.

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.

We were able to park our car in their parking lot which was great. The staff was very accommodating. I inquired if we could check in early, they took my number and said they would let when know when our room was available. They called me about an hour later and we were able to check in early. We were hanging out on the beach prior to that. Check in was quick and easy. My only complaint is that the bed was a little uncomfortable. We only stayed for a night so it was not a big deal. I would definitely return.

We were upgraded to a king ocean view which was kind. + Decent pool for the area. + Absolutely incredible bacon egg and cheese in the cafe in the morning. Truly delish - good cold brew as well. + Great location with proximity to the Stone Pony if you're there for a concert and the beach if you're there to enjoy the sand. + Easy parking. No need to valet just park nearby. Some areas for improvement: + Not the cleanest hotel I've been to. Windows to "ocean view" were super teeny and you could more or less not see out of them. + Outrageous policy of not being able to check in early without a fee. Our room was ready and they would not give it to us unless we paid $50. + They will nearly double prices for high volume weekend. What was paid for the hotel was outrageous and far too high for the level of maintenance the hotel needed. This is a fine option for one night only! Quirky hotel in a quirky city.

Nothing like finding out your reservation has been canceled for no reason. I called to confirm a…read moreweekend reservation and was told I had "called" two months ago to cancel.

First time in Asbury Park for both of us. We booked this motel thru a booking website. We chose this specific motel due to the location from The Stone Pony and to the beach. And...Because we were able to book just the one night. (We would have stayed another night, if we were able, but...had to go.) We had booked a Queen Room, which was upgraded to a Double Suite upon check-in. Two double beds, micro fridge, microwave, coffee maker AND...a kitchenette (sink, stove top and cabinets), which would be just wonderful for longer stays! Our room overlooked the parking lot and street...with a teeny view of the ocean! We arrived during the annual LGBTQ Pride Celebration happening all around, which had wound down by the time we got back to the room for bed. No street noise was heard. The room was dated, but SUPER CLEAN! (You could walk on the carpet with your bare feet!) NO SIGNS of roaches, bedbugs, ants, etc. (Which is super important to us!) Water pressure in the bathroom was good. Air conditioner worked, though we did not use it. Cable TV worked fine. Strong wi-fi in the room. Door locked securely. On-site parking. Check-in was swift and hassle-free. Rocky was gracious and quite hospitable. Location, location, location! About 5 miles off of the Garden State Parkway. One block from Ocean Avenue and the North Beach Boardwalk. 5 minute walk to the Convention Hall and the Paramount Theatre. 1/2 mile to The Stone Pony. Within walking distance to...EVERYTHING! Lots of safe walking opportunities. Besides being one block from the Boardwalk, it's a 5-minute walk to Deal Lake; 3 minute walk to Bradley Park; less than 1/2 mile walk to Sunset Park and just over 1/2 mile walk to Wesley Lake. (I'm an Aquarius, I was born a water baby!) Walking distance...in every direction...to lots of restaurants, etc. This is a SMOKE-FREE establishment!!! If you're going to be in that area, book a stay!
