Fun weekend in Asbury Park. Wonderful staff, great stay, reasonable rates. Perfect location, close to boardwalk and the beach. My only wish is that we brought our dog, I didn't realize the hotel is pet friendly. The first night was pretty loud, since our room was over the nightclub. We asked to switch rooms and the staff were wonderful in accommodating us. We will be back for sure.

Great value for the price. Every room has a balcony and was very clean. The property itself is a little dated but well maintained. Pool area was really nice to hang out at during the day.
