Top Central Hotel Reviews

Harris House By the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"My family and I had an Amazing time Together ❤️ 💯🙏"

The Linda Grande Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely excellent stay. The room was spotless. The husband and wife at the front desk are angels. They always checked in with us to make sure we were enjoying our stay. We will be back here again and again. I hope the hotel can keep prices affordable because you seriously can’t be this! We finally can enjoy our time in OCNJ without breaking the bank"

Impala Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was in nice location , walkable to boardwalk. The check in office was across the street, but it was not an issue. There were not enough parking spot for one night so we had to park little further. We were missing TV remote and it took a day to receive one. It was not an issue for us as we were barely in our room. Overall, it was a wonderful stay"

Wild Dunes Inn

8/10 Good

"The suite was clean, spacious and modern. The Wifi was very sketchy. The cleaning lady was awesome. We arrived several hours before check in and were given our parking pass and beach tags right away, enabling us to eat and then lounge by the pool until our room was ready. The reception staff told us they would call my cell phone when the room was ready...she did NOT. I took an opportunity during which no one was in the lobby to inquire about the WiFi password and was then told our room was ready. I feel that was unprofessional. Fortunately, all was forgotten when we arrived at the room. There was no view, except for the amusement park across the street. The first night we spent the last hour before bed trying to relax to the sounds of kids screaming on the roller coaster. The last night we were so tired, we laughed at the kids screaming on the rollercoaster. Had a fun time but room was a little over priced; it was a last minute trip on a ho!iday weekend. We had fun because the board walk was right next to the suites, so we just walked up a ramp for food, entertainment and of course the beach. When we parked our car, we didn't need it again until it was time to leave."
