Looked very dumpy. No one there to check in with, just a note on the door with a phone number to call. When we called the number, the lady said she would be there in 20 minutes so we left for the afternoon. No coffee maker, and wrong number for Wi-Fi . Mattress was old and lumpy. One good thing was the room and bathroom were clean
Would never go back!
My 10 year old daughter stayed there for 1 night for Mother's Day weekend. We were very pleasantly surprised and will definitely stay there again. Clean, centrally located; great restaurants in walking distance.
We stayed here for two nights in September. We picked it based on location, but would certainly consider staying again if we needed to be in the area. It was very pricey for a one-star hotel, but on par with the area. The room was quite old, and some things are starting to fall apart, but the bed was comfortable, we were easily able to make it cooler/warmer, and the TV had plenty of channels. It was fine. We appreciated that a fridge and microwave were included. There were ample towels, washcloths, soap, etc. Free parking.
I’d say the only annoying part was check-in and check-out. Despite their advertised opening hours, it was closed at 7 PM when we were checking in, and then also at 10:30 AM when we were checking out. I gather they have staffing shortages, but it would’ve been nice to have been informed. We had to phone their “emergencies” line for both check-in and check-out as there was no indication of what to do. They had also misplaced our reservation, but it sounds like that was more Expedia’s fault. Anyway, we got in, and the staff member who helped us was very friendly. We enjoyed our stay.
We stayed here to attend Sea, Hear, Now in Asbury Park. So, really we were just sleeping. We had a 2 room suite(I use that term lightly). There were 6 of us ladies. Thank goodness we aren't high maintenance because outlets were hard to find. Clearly a sign that when remodeling was done they did not take into consideration placement of beds, dressers, nightstands, etc. So, yes, the floor was new and there was a fresh coat of paint, maybe some of the furniture was "newer" but one of the twin beds was just a cot really. And it was clean so I will give them that. But, like I said, not many outlets, no exhaust fan in the bathroom, the sink in the "kitchenette" area did not work, the lighting was terrible(too dark even with every light on), the pillows were huge and lumpy(seemed old), refrigerator was tiny, anyhow you get the picture. The office is only open when the women who runs the place feels like being there. You mostly have to text her to see if she is available. The ice maker did not work(after searching for it); there was a soda machine and a candy machine(that only had about 5 choices, most spots were empty). We were within walking distance of the train which worked for us because all we were doing was sleeping and showering there. If you are looking for an experience this is not the place, if you are looking for a cheap, clean place to lay your head this place fills the bill.
I stayed here for a long girls weekend and it was perfect. The room was spacious, clean, updated (no rugs!), bright, good AC, large mini fridge, near pool, and best of all, it had a full length mirror! LOL The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Two blocks to the boardwalk makes it a great location. I would definitely stay here again.
