Liked: Cleanliness
The location was great but parking was $90 a DAY and also charge a $28+ hotel fee a day onto the already expensive prices for average room. Hotel is dated compared to others in the area. Not sure what the hotel fee is even for, it seems it is just a way to pad the bill. Front desk staff were nice but only 1 person working so took time to check in. My main issue is the price of parking and resort fee. Never have ever had to pay $90 A DAY to park. Pretty ridiculous

Great stay, would stay again! Staff was super friendly, pool was perfect, easy quick food options by the pool or in lobby. Free coffee and water in the Lobby. Walking distance to the boardwalk, beach and restaurants. Only negative is valet parking is pricy.

The bellboys and valet drivers were wonderful. The front desk staff were not very helpful. Didn’t want to ge bothered. I received no info other than my room number when I checked in. I had to call to have my room cleaned as well. All in all the hotel is good and we would stay again. The pool staff needs a little help as well.

An interesting building with a great history has been reduced to lipstick on a pig. The only employees with a sense of professionalism and service were the valet parking team, and at $90 per day, they had better be. While our room was quite spacious, the window treatments were stained and filthy, and one armchair was held together with scotch tape. Worse still was being awakened at 2:00 AM from a room party one night, street partiers another. The bars look nothing like the website photos and are tired and old. For the supposed sports bar, the televisions showing old Westerns were ridiculous. Lastly, a casual breakfast served in paper boxes was $55, and our pizza in the sports bar was served on cheap paper plates. This hotel might think they are a sophisticated oasis in Asbury Park, but we would argue it is anything but.

Great location, easy walk to boardwalk, ocean and restaurants, nice inside with cafe, bar, etc. I must have gotten a bad room (maybe because I asked to check in early?) My room had soiled carpet, some disgusting gooey spot on the bed frame, dirty windows and the handle on the bathroom door kept falling off. Scratches on most the furniture and a rip in the bedspread! Parking is not easy to find during the height of the summer, and they take advantage of that and charge almost $100/night - just to park my car on the street around the corner! I’ll find another hotel next time I travel to Asbury Park.

The property had everything I needed. Earlier coffee shop opening would be an improvement. Earlier pool opening would be an improvement. I did not like all of the additional fees (resort etc.) which were excessive. Also, $90. for overnight parking is a big turn off when there was ample parking in the area. Make that a better competitive rate for loyal customers who stay multiple days.
