Absolutely amazing! We loved staying at the Inn. We rented 4 rooms between different family members…read moreand had a great time. 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.

After staying at The Inn @Ocean Grove for half a year, I considered it home and forged a few…read morefriendships. Because I stayed here for that long, I was able to make a few observations, which frame my opinions. As with anything, there are both good and bad. But these are just my POV. Management: The place was basically run by two women, with one being the "chief cook and bottle washer," stepping in to do repairs and treating the guests to her amazing baked goods. The other woman served more on, in her own words, an "organizational" level, collecting the "rent" every Monday, and "keeping things in line." If you stay during the Winter season as I did, don't expect breakfast, but summer guests will have that amenity. Not to worry. There are quite a few options in town. There is a Keurig coffee machine, however, which you can help yourself to any time of the day. It's easy to use. For those of you who don't know, just put the K-cup in, making sure there is water in the side container, press the top down and push the button to the desired strength of coffee. But I digress. It's just that people kept asking me how to use it. One of the downsides at the Inn were the numerous power outages, and guests were sometimes suspected to be the culprits, even though the building is more than 100 years old and the infrastructure probably needs an upgrade. Also, at least in the winter season, you must supply your own bedding: sheets, blankets, pillow cases. And don't expect to bring Fido or Felix. Pets are not allowed, except maybe in the back cottages. All in all, enjoy the stay, don't get too inebriated (it's a dry town, and you'll have to sneak off to Bond Street Bar in the next town) because there are three floors, and you have to climb stairs. Parking is free, outside the building, but that could be problematic in the Summer. During my stay, I was sometimes playing musical cars to keep my auto on the "correct" side of the one-way Webb Avenue . Take care, and Godspeed. Hope this offered some insight into staying at the Inn @Ocean Grove.

My boyfriend planned an extended Birthday weekend for me at the Majestic from Thursday to Sunday…read more Upon check-in, we were very warmly greeted by Dawn.  She immediately made us feel welcome and at home.  She is so knowledgeable of the area, full of information & tips,  a true foodie like us.  We learned that every morning a complimentary breakfast was included which was a lovely touch, as nothing comes free these days.  The porch is magnificent with rocking chairs, country music and a killer view of the ocean.  Additionally there are balconies on the 2nd and 3rd floor which also provide incredible views of the Sunset (another tip from Dawn & Patti) The hotel is conveniently a 2 minute walk from the beach and an 8 minute walk from Asbury Park Boardwalk. It's clean and its quiet.  Beach towels are offered in addition to discounted beach passes. Also, kudos to the rest of the staff ;  Josh. Patti and Emily, I've never encountered a more hospitable staff. Can't wait to book our next trip !!

Late review. I had stayed at the Asbury Ocean Club Hotel last year for a work trip. From when I had…read morearrived until I left it was such a pleasant experience. Upon checking in, they informed me my room was not ready yet and offered to take my luggage and bring it to my room. I was with a colleague and I tagged along as the front desk agent guided us to their room. The hotel had such a modern and simple aesthetic with plenty of space to work and lounge around in. The room was spacious with a gorgeous bathroom and outdoor seating area. The front desk agent mentioned the ducks that live in the back and could visit our out door areas and yes I was able to get a glimpse of the ducks! It wasn't long until my room was ready and the front desk agent was able to find me, provided me my key, and walked me to my room. I loved that customer service they provided. They gave me a brief tour of my room which was similar to my colleagues. The bed was cozy! The bathroom and shower was a dream and that bathrobe was as super comfy! I had a restful sleep that evening! My company had rented a meeting room which was catered by the hotel. The food was good and the staff was super helpful and attentive while we were there. We also had hung out in the outdoor bar area and the wait staff there was great as well! The view from the outdoor bar/pool area was beautiful and overlooking the beach. Overall it was a wonderful stay! The customer service was exceptional throughout my stay!

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.

We checked in at 4:15 with Kathy and she explained the layout of the land and how everything worked. She told us breakfast was from 8-10am and asked if we needed restaurant recommendations (which was nice) but we already had reservations somewhere. We stayed in room 15, which was very cute. The decor was lovely and the bathroom was a great size (with a powerful shower!). After dinner we came back to our room to just relax and watch some TV. The bed was comfy enough, a bit hard for me, but that's just my preference as my husband slept soundly. You can hear some of the other tenants as I heard someone snoring all night long, and then a woman on the phone in the morning. The breakfast was delicious, maybe a tad limited, but a lot of it is homemade (by Kathy!) like the french toast bake and a waffle egg with everything bagel seasoning (go for that!). Overall, my husband and I had a lovely stay and would recommend the Carriage House to anyone!
