Clean and close to beach.. The place to stay when in bay head area ..

The room was somewhat clean and comfortable. The staff was welcoming and pleasant and helpful. The hotel was for the most part, clean and conveniently located.

Fire alarm went off at 5:00 am one morning. No announcement was made as to the status of the alarm and our safety. The building is old and a bit noisy. The room was a bit small. Bathroom sink was outside the bathroom. We did not realize the hotel was pet friendly. We weren't expecting to encounter dogs in the hotel. We were wondering if pets were permitted in every room of the hotel! Also, there was a private event being hosted at the hotel which limited our access to some amenities. The restaurant was closed. The room was a bit pricy for a short stay in October.

The continental breakfast was as expected that is, cereal, breads, yogurts, etc. I was surprised that they had a refrigerator in the room since this was not advertised on their site as one of their amenities. In fact, Maureen who was great, realized only after we inquired indirectly about refrigerating our perishables (which we thought we could place in a communal space) that her previous guests' inquiries led her to the realization that this item was not on her website. She said that she would add this to her hotel's website. The hotel itself had this old-world charm which added to the ambiance. We had breakfast on the veranda which afforded plenty of space to the guests. We never felt confined or crowded. And of course, the staff was great; both Maureen and Patty were always accommodating to every request. I also was pleasantly surprised that the hotel offered both beach towels and beach chairs. That was really unexpected. And of course, the hotel supplied badges which were required to show monitors before being permitted to enter the beach area.

I struggled with answering this question because everything was really great. I can't really add anything except something really of minor importance: perhaps they can bring the pot of decaf coffee from the area next to the kitchen which is all the way in the back and place it alongside the regular coffee decanter in the front since you always needed to ask the front office in the AM if the decaf was available.

It’s a beautiful Victorian hotel w/ a huge front porch that was nice to sit on w/ a cup of coffee. It is a hop skip and a jump from the beach (2 short blocks), and it is well kept. The rooms were comfortable and clean. There is a restaurant on site (byob), and they serve a continental breakfast w/ your stay. The staff were all amazing—they were so helpful, welcoming, and, friendly. There’s something about that which makes it special. I will definitely be returning.

It’s on a main road that doesn’t have crosswalks. I parked across the street and felt like I was playing frogger every time I had to cross the road. In a way, it added adventure to my relaxing weekend.

The staff were so very accommodating and friendly. The place was very conveniently located. The building is beautiful. The porch and dining rooms were beautiful. The complimentary beach badges and beach equipment was such a nice bonus. We really liked the toiletries pouches to reduce waste and plastics. There was housekeeping service if desired. There was coffee, water and tea available in the lobby all day. We liked the King Suite set up with the extra bed to sleep 3.

The breakfast was fine but the only option for Gluten Free was a hardboiled eggs which consistently had a large grey ring around the yolk. The mattresses could use replacing. The single bed in the King suite was severely broken down and I had trouble sleeping because it made my back hurt. There were not enough horizontal surfaces for suitcase/charging etc. but these were sacrificed for the 2nd bed space.

The location is excellent and very close to Point Pleasant shops and boardwalk. The beach is beautiful and has a private feel, not crowded at all. The staff are so friendly, fun, and accommodating. Free use of beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, bikes! The room was clean and comfortable and the elevator is a very rare find for a shore inn. Short walk to eateries and a few shops. We plan to come again and again!

Street parking (which is common). Coffee wasn’t great. Porch is beautiful, but comfortable seating was limited as it was mostly dining chairs.

Staff was terrific, always positive and eager to make our stay the best it could be. The front porch is lovely and we enjoyed being our there a number of times. Our beds were comfortable and it was quiet each night.

Our stay would have been so much better if there had been a parking lot, instead of only street parking. There were several showers on the days we were there and we were not able to sit on the porch. We plan to go back in the fall when there is not so much activity.

Everyone was very friendly and accommodating towards us and our dog. The room was nice and clean and the shower was great due to the some of the best water pressure we have ever experienced while staying at a hotel, BnB, or rental property.

Later at night there is no one at the desk in case you need anything. Little did we know we needed to call the hotel to the person and then they would come out to assist, but there was no sign stating that. There should at least be a sign letting you know or maybe a direct phone line at the desk to ring the individual.

Breakfast was fine -bagels and cream cheese, yogurt, cereal, fruit served my needs. Nice wrap around porch to socialize on. Everyone was so kind and accommodating to my dog as well. Great meal at the restaurant! Would recommend this hotel to anyone and would happily return

Weak coffee in the am. Air conditioner did not keep room cool enough but the nights were cool so I could open windows to cool room down.

Beautifully historical from 1890—centrally located for walking all around town for restaurants or shopping—-SO close to the beach, so access was great! Love the giant veranda with rocking chairs and tables. Only 29 rooms, so it’s quieter and staff gets to know guests quite easily. Continental breakfast included, which was nice.

Lack of private parking lot—-must park on street. Went in off-season, so not an issue, but may present a little challenge in summer.
