Room was clean and tidy, everything was festively decorated for the holidays, staff was courteous and kind, breakfast was outstanding. All in all, a wonderful stay!
Ours was a spring visit. Our expectations were met. The location is right on the central mall and very close to the beach and the downtown shopping street. Parking is on street. Every room is different, so that could affect how you view your stay. Ours was second floor, one room back from the second floor porch. That porch is where breakfast buffet is served. We could still see the mall from our window while being close to the porch for buffet and coffee or tea during the day…yet our room was quiet. Our room was also comfortable , bright and had all the things we needed. There was a lot of choice for the breakfast. There is a nice lounge and porch on the ground floor.
Great location for walking the boardwalk or side streets to Asbury Park. Staff were very friendly. Breakfast buffet had numerous choices for a small hotel/inn.

Everything was great! The breakfast was top notch.
Lovely place run by really nice people. Comfortable beds and a nice common space 'living room'.
Breakfast was well above our expectations. Would definitely stay here again.
Beautiful guest house with exceptional, courteous staff and excellent location and breakfast. Highly recommend for location of some of the most beautiful architecture and homes.
We loved the peace and quiet of Ocean Grove. The Ocean Plaza has exemplary cleanliness, hospitality, location, and a plentiful, tasty buffet breakfast. Lucas and the staff are very helpful and informative. The flower blossoms formed on the edge of the toilet paper rolls was such a elegant touch! We plan to stay here again and again.
This was a hotel with character. It is in a quiet residential area, surrounded by victorian homes, green space, views of the ocean, and walking distance from a beautiful beach.
Great hotel in excellent area. Staff were fantastic. Big shout out to the owner for helping us sort Alamo with our car issues. Definitely recommend this hotel and if we are ever back in this area I would book this hotel. Thank you x
