Great place to stay for a weekend in Asbury. Location is great, accommodations do the trick, fun club, ok breakfast included. It can be a bit noisy and guests are not terribly respectful that/when people are sleeping.
Excellent, kind, and accommodating staff, this hotel has a lot of charm. It’s very “retro” but clean and doesn’t feel outdated. Excellent location and has a lively club.
There really weren't many options for a fairly reasonably priced one-night stay in Asbury Park. Hotel is definitely indeed of fixing up but it was clean, free parking and actually had a balcony (with a very hard to open door) from which I watched some of outdoor Stone Pony concert across the street. Thankfully they were done around 10.
My husband and I love the Empress. It is located right across from the beach and the boardwalk and the Pinball museum. We took a day and use the pool and it was fantastic. The people that work there are very kind and easy to talk to. We stay there about four times a year and never had a bad experience and the place is clean.
The facilities were clean and quiet for a mid week stay. GREAT access to the beach! Great selection of dining options! The board walk has terrific dining and entertainment. Highly recommend hotel.
This place is so fun and every staff person we met was so happy and helpful. I would recommend staying here if you are open to having fun and being around happy people. The only downfall to the room was no mini fridge.
