Close to the beach and boardwalk. Nice front porch. Small lot to park. Room was cozy but bathroom was very small/cramped. They don't have any refund policy so I was weary about booking here. The owners were pleasant. Beach tags were provided and also had access to beach chairs and boogie boards. read more

We chose the Zenneth Manor Inn for a long 4th of July weekend and let me tell you .... we were unbelievably impressed! Hillary and Jeff were incredibly warm and welcoming with the nostalgic decor and extremely clean rooms. They are two of the nicest people you would ever want to meet. We stayed on the 1st floor and awoke to coffee and danish each morning always accompanied with smiles. Highly recommend this quaint, cozy, and comfortable establishment compared to the over-priced alternatives nearby. And so very close to the boardwalk and all of Ocean City's attractions. By far, the best hidden gem for a quick getaway or a weeks' vacation. We will definitely return, and can't wait! - Annmarie & Joe, West Chester PA read more

Zenneth Manor Inn - Hotels Near Me - Ocean City, New Jersey

Everything was clean and smelled fresh, room was cute but small. (I should point out we rented the one room described as small on the website) Nice common area /balcony on second floor to relax with a drink outside. Owners were friendly and accommodating. Let us park and use the beach tags even after we checked out Next time in Ocean City we are staying here without thinking twice. Quite a few hotels in OC let service and cleanliness slip in the last few years, this place has not. read more

We missed the Zenneth Manor Inn and were thrilled we could get a room for a quick midweek stay. The inn is as wonderful as we remember (we had visited a number of times pre- Covid). The Inn is run by a lovely couple and well maintained. The location cannot be beat, clean accommodations, on site parking and hosts who know the area well. I would give more stars if yelp allowed. Thanks for great stay Jeff and Hillary! read more

Stayed here during the busy season in late July 2019. Got a great room and a great price for a place just off the boardwalk. Hard to beat! Room was clean and check in was a breeze. We got fresh towels and two beach tags as part of our stay. I didn't take part in the coffee or pastries in the morning. There's a few coffee shops within walking distance. Oh and parking was easy! I'd stay here again for sure! read more

Had the most amazing weekend at the Zenneth Manor Inn. This was my first time to Ocean City and the Zenneth did not disappoint! It is 2 blocks from the boardwalk which was booming with the amazing weather we had- the rooms were beautifully decorated with cute signs and colors that give it beach charm . I had forgotten shampoo,but small toiletries were provided (major plus ) There's an upstairs private outdoor deck and a front porch to watch street activity and people watching if its more your thing ( loved it !) Centrally located to shopping ,boardwalk and a great place for breakfast! Inn keepers welcoming , kind and approachable ! They make you feel right at home with full knowledge of area and great recommendations of where to eat , etc ! I was sad to leave , but will be back soon! Thanks to Jeff and Hillary ! read more

Zenneth Manor Inn - Hotels Near Me - Ocean City, New Jersey

The owner made me feel unwelcome when I arrived. Luckily I found a vacancy elsewhere but I lost my deposit., would never recommend to my family or friends read more

I had a wonderful stay, two nights in June, and I cannot wait to come back. The Inn is so clean, cleaner than other hotels I've stayed in that charged significantly more for a dirty room. Hillary and Jeff were very polite and accommodating from the moment I called to reserve a room until I checked out. I don't want to spend too much time writing this because I am enjoying a beautiful day at the beach, in a chair the hotel let me borrow and with the beach tag that came with the room. It is 3 minute walk to the boardwalk and you can rent bikes right next door. In short I highly recommend checking out the Zenneth Manor Inn. I really didn't want to leave. read more

One block from the boardwalk and beach, bike rental next door, has no charge parking. Need we say more. Young married couple with two kids have committed to maintaining this 50s property achieving the challenging business balance of nostalgia and modernizing maintenance. It's very impressive. Subtle but real ecological friendly support. Good price, friendly staff, clearly with devoted return customer clientele. The real estate in Ocean City has become amazingly dense in the last 30 year's, oh my. read more

Quaint,clean close to the beach. Friendly and eager to please.enjoyed our stay tremendously

Classic and quaint Inn located close to everything. Stayed here for Fall block party and it was perfect. Walked everywhere. We loved our room and the back deck was an ideal place to unwind. Look forward to coming back in the spring. read more

After spending many years staying at a really dirty hotel in ocean city, we decided to stay at a different place. We booked our stay over the phone for a two night stay in the Zenneth Manor. We booked the Room 4 deluxe double, for myself, my two daughters, and my mother. We arrived at the hotel after a long drive, and we walked in with my mother. We were greeted by Hillary, and it seemed that once she saw my mother, walking with her cane, she suddenly seemed extremely uneasy about us staying there. The room that we had booked was upstairs, and Hillary said that she wasn't comfortable with us staying upstairs .. she had mentioned something along the lines of the Zenneth Manor not being up to code with a certain standard for disabled people.. I believe it was the ADA but can't recall the full detail on that part (even though we kept telling her that my mother is not handicapped and that she is very capable of using the stairs and uses stairs at home). We felt like she was discriminating against my mother.... after we told her that was discrimination and that she can't do that, she changed the tune and said that it wasn't about my mother, but rather the issue was the amount of people that we had with us VS the amount of people that we had booked the room for. When I had called to book the room, we did book for 4 people, but they Hillary and Jeff seemed to insist that we booked for only 3. At that point, I said, if we did book for only three people (which I know wasn't the case because we knew we were traveling with 4), that I would sleep in the car then, so my mother and 2 daughters could stay in the hotel room; that would mean that only 3 people were staying in the room, which should've been fine, since that was what they claimed to be the issue. Even with that suggestion, Hillary still didn't seem to want us staying there, which made it feel like this was really all about my elderly mother. Hillary actually suggested we stay somewhere else. she even called another place (which of course were all booked...). We felt extremely unwelcome and began to panic as this was a family vacation and we had no place to go. When Jeff arrived, he told us that it was in the contract and when we requested to see the contract, and repeatedly said I could just sleep in the car to make only 3 people stay in the room, they seemed to quickly change the subject and suddenly seemed to realized that there was a room for us to stay in on the first floor. Suddenly, it seemed that having 4 people staying in a room that was smaller than the one we were supposed to have UPSTAIRS, was no issue. Both of the rooms say they sleep up to 4 people, so the room being upstairs seemed to be the only difference. Even though we felt very uncomfortable and unwelcome, we still stayed there. The room was clean, but felt very tight for the 4 of us, so we left a night early to avoid sleeping there for another night. In my opinion, this place felt very discriminatory and made our vacation feel extremely stressful and it felt like an unreliable place to stay read more

See all

Another enjoyable weekend at Zenneth Manor! My husband and I celebrated our Anniversary there this weekend. This was our 3rd. time staying here. It never disappoints. Inn is 1 block from the beach and walking distance to shops and restaurants. Rooms are clean, bright and cutely decorated with a beachy feel! Jeff & Hillary are awesome hosts!!! We love this place!!! Looking forward to when we can visit again. Connie read more

We made our reservation last minute and were lucky enough to get a double deluxe room for a weekend where we had two shore family parties to attend. Owners were nice and kids were adorable. Inn was very clean and in a wonderful location 1 block from the beach and close to bike rentals, food and entertainment. Porch was a nice asset. We stayed with our son and it was fine for the weekend, but wouldn't work for any longer due to size. Bathroom was very tight- my husband is tall so this was a little bit of a problem. Had a tv issue that was taken care of immediately. Beds were very comfy. Decor is warm. Breakfast was a coffee cake and coffee so we did eat out both mornings. Fridge was bigger than the norm and tv was flatscreen. Again, great stay and we will definitely be back if it's for a short trip. read more

We booked a room about a month ago for myself, my husband and our 13 year old daughter for 3 nights last week. My husband spoke with Hillary to make the reservation and she talked him into the more spacious queen room with a pullout. He agreed and booked it.She also explained to him that we need to call before 8pm if we are checking in after 8pm. On the day of our arrival, Jeff calls us at 5:00pm asking if we are coming down still. I told him yes we are headed to dinner and we'll be there well before 8pm. Last minute, we decided to bring our 13 year old niece with us. We arrived at the inn around 7:15. As soon as we walked in the door we were greeted by Jeff stating "oh no this isn't going to work". I replied "excuse me?". He rudely explained that we only booked the room for 3 people and we showed up with 4 which will not fit in a room. I asked if it was a fire/safety issue on why two 13 year old girls could not sleep on the pullout. His reply was that he didn't want us to break anything. We were completely offended by that remark as we have never broken anything in a hotel room or left a hotel room a mess. The conversation ended with Jeff stating that there's plenty of other vacancies in the city and he'll still have to keep our $300 security deposit. As a small business owner myself, this situation could have been handled entirely different. At the end of our stay, we decided to stay an extra night after we decided we were going to meet up with friends for dinner. My husband suggested that I call Zenneth Manor and see if we could work something out with them so our entire $300 wasn't completely lost. I spoke with Hilary and she explained that they had a vacancy that night and it would cost us $275 for the night. Obviously that conversation didn't not go well. Now I know I should have called about bringing my niece, however in my years of traveling I've never experienced a room where you could fit 3 people and not a 4th when there's a pull out. Also we didn't think to call because Hilary talked my husband into the bigger room so we assumed there would be plenty of room to add my 13 year old niece. Neither me or my husband thought to call for those reasons. This whole experience made our Ocean City trip not nearly as fun as we had hoped because we had to scramble to find a new place to stay at 8pm that night with 2 kids and we were out $300. read more
