The hotel was lovely. However the mattress on our bed was so hard, it was like sleeping on a box spring. There was an event going on in the park in front of the hotel, our room faced the park. The noise and music from the event started at 645am and could be heard very clearly through the walls. Not the fault of the hotel, but had we known how thin the walls were and how early the event started, I may have booked an ocean view room or asked for a room on the other side of the building. There were 2 windows in the room. One with black out shades and one with just a set of blinds. The blinds didn’t stop the sun from shining in the room early as well. Parking - the website states they have valet and a small self parking lot - which fills up fast. When we arrived at the hotel and asked about the parking we were told it was only valet or street parking for approx $3 an hour from 9am to 2am. No one acknowledged the self parking lot. I don’t think it exists. The website should be updated to reflect this. Overall I’d stay again, it was clean and close to everything near the boardwalk. I’d like to try a room facing the ocean.

All the staff, from valets, to bellmen, to front desk were extremely accommodating. Room was spacious. Oceanview room was very enjoyable. Housekeeping was a bit slow and not thorough but frirndly and respectful. We had to change our room once due to a water seepage on the floor from the air conditioner, and the correction was made immediately and with assistance moving our luggage. Free coffee in the lobby. Overall a very nice stay.

It’s a good clean hotel with great energy about history of Asbury Park. It’s right that beginning of a main boardwalk/beach entrance. Parking isn’t included with the stay and is pretty pricey at $60 a night.

Don’t

I’ve never left a review in my life. Especially not a bad one. I’m not usually picky and pretty easy going. But I was SO disappointed by this hotel. The tub didn’t drain, the floors weren’t clean, the curtains looked like mold, the bed was hard as a brick. All the vending machines were empty. The bartender was literally clueless and their pizza was awful. I paid over 450 for ONE NIGHT in a standard room. And $60 to park. Crazy. I’ve never in all my traveling been this disappointed. I wish I was exaggerating. Book elsewhere. Like literally- anywhere else. What a waste of money

looks like Asbury Park area is overrated. This particular hotel, along with another landmark, Convention Hall, are literally falling apart. One of the windows was impossible to close, it was a very windy day, not a nice experience on the 8th floor! Bathtub was also not operating properly. I do not think we will ever go back!
