  : Very well located, cute building, good breakfast, charming area. I liked that we were able to go to our room early (about 12PM)!
  : The room was not well cleaned. There was sand all over the floor and inside the shower. The AC was noisy, and the room smelled moist.

  : The location was lovely on a very pretty street adjacent to the beach. It was the perfect location for accessing the beach and the Main Ave shops. It rained during our stay but we found things to do including shopping at the Outlet Mall and sitting on the porch sipping coffee and wine. The linens were crisp and clean, the room was well laid out and had just enough for a beach front (3 buildings away) property. The main floor / lobby area decor was really stunning, well designed with comfortable seating. The inn felt a bit like a convert boarding house, narrow stairs and hallways, but it's an older building, so this wasn't a deal breaker or anything, just something to note. It's a very quiet locaion, the people who were walking by tended to be in their 40's-70's, no loud music. The innkeeper said the property was fully booked, but we didn't hear any of the other guests after 9pm.
  : The coffee bar could be improved by adding a Keurig or Nespresso, I was missing a non-dairy option for a creamer.

  : The value of the hotel, given the amazing location was exceptional and the innkeeper was very kind and helpful. The front porch and downstairs area were so lovely, the cookies, cold drink and coffee were an added and appreciated bonus. The small fridge with freezer in our room was very helpful. Easy contact less check in and check out. The location was absolutely perfect, super close to everything, just steps from the beach and a very short walk into Asbury Park.
  : It would be helpful if the room had some storage to put items away besides the closet (shelves, drawers, etc). It was just two of us for two nights, so it wasn't an issue for our stay. It's an older building, so we heard a lot of footsteps/people above us, but it didn't bother us. Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper.

  : Bed was comfortable. Nowhere to put toiletries, etc. Shower was good. Air conditioner in the room was too noisy for us to sleep so we turned it off and the room stayed cool all night. Nice to eat on the front porch.
  : The phone number provided in July on the web site had an outgoing message stating that the inn was closed for the winter and it could not take messages. I had an important question and could not reach them. When I arrived and mentioned this to the person in charge it was brushed off as not a problem. It is a problem that there was no way to call them. Second, the breakfast was the worst. Nothing to eat if you don't eat sugary cereals and yogurts. No option to microwave oatmeal (and I didn't think to bring my own). The flatware was all plastic creating unnecessary garbage for the landfill. Most places have dishwashers for breakfast cutlery and dishes. Poor selection of unfresh fruit. The coffee was fine.

  : The hotel is very close to the beach and has a very nice porch.
  : Sadly we didn’t have any hand soap or shower gel in our room. We asked the staff for it and she said she would take care of it. She didn’t!
