Traveled with group
Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Liked the location and really liked the staff. Excellent service. I didn't like that the hotel itself seems a little worn out. The leather desk in our room was completely ripped, there were a few patches of ripped carpet as well, and the duvet covers on the beds were also stained.

Everyone was very friendly and tried to accommodate us as best they could. The restaurant "Bang bang" was absolutely delicious and service was great. Very close to beach. Pool party was a blast!

Buzzing place in a historic good ol' grand hotel building. There is much for everybody. The beach (although paid stay with a beach day pass) is right across. Very friendly staff in every service. Dog-friendly, although limited (like most hotels, unfortunately). Would recommend this hotel for a nice stay in Asbury Park

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is old, dirty and the shower doesn't drain. Staff were unpleasant and not helpful. Hotel key didn't work and had to try approx 30 times before opening (that was after getting 4 new keys). The room has 2 outlets, not much light and one mirror.
