We had such a lovely stay at the Ocean Plaza Hotel! The location honestly can’t be beat—right by the beach and just a short walk into Asbury Park. I especially loved the porches with their comfy seating, the perfect spot to relax after the day. The coffee in the morning was really good, and there were plenty of breakfast choices. I was just a little let down by the cooked breakfast and would have loved to see some simple extras like sliced cheese and vegetables. Still, overall it was a wonderful place to stay and I’d happily come back.

Nice, convenient inn in Ocean Grove

Great location! Friendly staff. Nicely maintained house. We stayed on the 4th floor in a suite. Masks required inside because of COVID, and at breakfast we had to be served the items (e.g., muffins, danishes, yogurt), but not the coffee. Would go again!

Maribel

Liked: Cleanliness
The room is not conducive to restful sleep. The pillows are small and stuffed with small chunks of foam, the mattress is very firm, the room gets very hot in the winter (even when you cover the vents fully) and the shades let the outdoor lights in. They should also sand off the mark left by a used condom on the dresser.

Cozy and confortable

It was a small inn but cozy and comfortable! And breakfast was hot and delicious. We were traveling from New York via Lancaster and Bethlehem, so we had two pieces of heavy luggage. It was sorry that there had no elevators! When we carried them up and down (when we arrived one of the staffs helped us,thank you!) it was so hard ! If you have large luggage you may choose rooms in the first floor.
