We loved our stay here! The property manager, Bernadette, was so communicative and made sure we had everything we needed to have the perfect stay! So close to the beach and everything Asbury has to offer.

I chose to stay here because the pictures online show a cozy bed and breakfast with finishes similar to the style of a boutique hotel. Prior to arrival, the inn keeper reached out with helpful check-in information. The room we picked during reservation (room 16) was not assigned to us and we got room 1. Upon arrival, the inn keeper warmly greeted us and there was no formal check-in (e.g., providing an ID or signing any papers). Unfortunately, as soon as we settled into our room, the guests upstairs were causing a lot of noise (loud footsteps and conversations). I reached out to the inn keeper via text asking for a white noise machine but they did not have one. She did send a message to guests via text with a friendly reminder to be considerate about noise, but that did not work because the guests upstairs still ended up being incredibly noisy from 1 am to 2:45 am, stomping and shouting… even down the hallway at one point. I texted about ear plugs and got no reply. The cable box was broken and the television did not have a remote that worked with it. We had to use an hdmi cable to our laptop to watch a show. The wifi went out at 12 am so we were not able to watch our show anymore. Breakfast had a decent selection of goods (cheese omelette, everything bagel and cream cheese, OJ etc). If you’re lucky and have quiet and respectful neighbors and don't want to watch tv or need wifi and want to be close to the shore, this may be a decent place to stay. Otherwise, not so much.

Dear Kimberly, Thank you for taking the time to write a review for the hotel. I apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during your stay. It would have been helpful if you had informed me about the issue with the TV, as I would have been more than happy to assist you. The Cable Box was actually not broken, but simply turned off. The remote controls both the TV and the Cable Box separately. Regarding the text messages you sent regarding the need for earplugs, I apologize for not seeing them until the morning. Unfortunately, I would not have been able to provide assistance with that. However, I will investigate the WiFi issue you mentioned and address it accordingly. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. I hope you will consider giving us another chance in the future. Wishing you a wonderful summer.

Upon arrival there is no front desk and no one to assist with issues. The bathroom had mold in the shower, the carpet was rolled up at the entrance to the room (which we tripped over), the ceiling fan was filthy, and the tv could not be seen from the bed. On our second night an alarm went off in a neighboring room at 1am and blared for an hour and 15 minutes. People were banging on their door (of an empty room) and eventually I called the reservation number. They answered after countless rings. No one came to shut the alarm and it continued from the time I called till 2:15am. Absurd.

Room was nice and clean. Bed was super comfortable. Area is nice. Beach and boardwalk were gorgeous. Continental breakfast was great! Lots of options. Stairs to get to your room are very steep and narrow so if you have difficulty with stairs or accessibility issues, I would refrain from selecting this hotel. Also there’s no signage on the hotel, except for a piece of paper taped to the front door that has the name of another hotel on it - this was very confusing when I arrived and had to call a phone number to check in. Overall my stay was good. I work in customer service and this place could use a little more personal connection or customer service.

What a gem of a ocean front property
What a gem of a place to stay. With its unique decor and atmosphere, it is very enchanting. I booked this stay for a business trip and was happy with the stay. The only negative was the double room booked with the ocean view was on the top floor with a very narrow and steep staircase. Not at all suitable for anyone with physical challenges or uncomfortable with stairs.

Not what it was cracked up to be
There are several issues with this hotel: 1) I called ahead to let them know we'd be getting there late and they checked me in over the phone. That's great, but it seems that they check in using first name, not last so they gave my room to someone else. We were given a different room, but it's definitely not what we wanted. 2) The hotel was too hot - we were not the only ones to complain about this. They need better ventilation and why have the gas stove running in the lobby ALL THE TIME (not eco-friendly) during a hot weekend while the air conditioner ran right next to it? 3) The breakfast was micro-waved eggs and potatoes all of which was cold. The other food is okay, but really no different than a generic hotel stay. It was right near the boardwalk, which is very nice. The place needs a representative on site, at least during daytime hours. To always have to call some mystery person for questions is inconvenient and weird.

Nice place, easy checkin by phone. Room #15 has a private bathroom but it’s across the hallway and water in the shower took close to 20 minutes to get warm enough to get into. Could also hear everything going on in the room next door, but I guess that’s to be expected in a house.

What a wonderful boutique hotel with ocean views. The renovations to this place are truly transformational. Such a clean, crisp vibe. Staff was very accessible. Rooms are simple yet lovely. Bathrooms were super clean and stocked daily with fresh towels. The complimentary breakfast exceeded our expectations. Best of all was the location. View of the beach beckoned daily walks on the boardwalk. Also just a block or 2 from the quaint downtown. We also loved just chilling on the spacious front porch, morning, noon and night. Needless to say, we will be back. Thank you Beach Liner for a wonderful stay.

quaint old home turned into a "boutique" hotel. Didn't like - floor wasn't level, older building, small rooms. Stairs on 2nd floor to 3rd floor are very narrow. Uncomfortable to walk up and shower did not drain properly. They had put some sort of hair catcher that wasn't cleaned out and the shower would not drain and backed up. water took forever to warm up.

Shoddy renovation, not a welcoming place at all. Absolutely stark and bleak room. Only one overhead dim light. A cheap coat hanger standing in front of the view of the ocean. The shower did not drain and the shower floor was so unsteady. It felt like it was going to break. Such tight spaces, a large person could not possibly be accommodated. Stairway is extremely narrow and steep, bannister sticky with bad paint. The so-called innkeeper was nowhere to be seen and was not particularly polite on the phone. Breakfast was OK but not a hot breakfast. Really the only two good things about the property were that it is very close to the beach and the coffee was pretty good. Overpriced and really such a sadly decorated and poorly renovated property. The whole place screamed, “we don’t care..” I couldn’t wait to leave.
