We stayed for one night at the Bungalow Hotel for a wedding at nearby McLoone's. Great little hotel - fun decor, friendly staff, great location - right at Pier Village,which has shops, restaurants and bars. Very short walk to the beach. The hotel lobby has a fun little bar and sliding glass doors that open to a fireplace and lounge... More

I hope for everyone's sake that Scott still works at the front desk because he was AMAZING. As someone who works at the front desk of a hotel I know how tough and demanding it is to work by yourself which they usually are at the Bungalow. He went above and beyond to meet any of the needs my friends... More

Unfortunately, Scott is no longer an employee at Bungalow (though he visits often!) We will be sure to take care of you just as well as Scott did when you do decide to return and it would be my pleasure to assist you.

We recently returned from a dismal one night stay at the Bungalow. It was a third visit for us so we thought we knew what to expect and were aware of existing shortfalls such as the street noise, no coffee makers in the room, no beach view, no honor bar or food amenities and that there is generally only one...

It is unfortunate that you took these measures after our conversation Mrs. Herson. Bungalow Hotel abides by its guidelines that are clear in our confirmation letters. We do however, consider things out of one’s control interrupting a scheduled plan and we accommodate accordingly. As for the noise disturbance, upon check in all guests were notified of a wedding party that... More

I'll make this short and sweet. Think tranquility, trendy, friendly, walking distance to fantastic restaurants (Avenue) and bars (Indulge), stylish rooms and trendy decor. All of this is located in Pier Village in Long Branch. The Bungalow hotel is centrally located and everything is smooth, from check in to car drop off. Devin at the front desk was extremely helpful... More

Thank you for your review! Your choice of words for Bungalow couldn't be described any better! We aim to have our guest feel that they are escaping and enjoying themselves for whatever occasion or getaway that they are taking. We are glad that you were able to experience just that and also enjoy the surrounding areas. More

There were so many details surrounding my sons wedding this past Spring that I didn't want to think about the hotel and how they would handle our large party. My expectations were exceeded with the staff, service and hospitality. I especially appreciated CHANTEL, one of the housekeepers for her attention to detail. Fabulous place that we will certainly return to

My husband and I stayed at the Bungalow after a family wedding and were very happy with the accommodations. Many of our family and friends stayed as well, so our group had the whole place to ourselves! So different from other places at the Jersey Shore. We were pleasantly surprised! Cool, chic and modern decor, with some very interesting touches... More

Thank you for your comments. During the off season we do not have our bar open everyday but the games and DVD library located in the lobby are available for use at any time. All front desk agents are trained to make drinks so if you inquire about the bar they would love to help you. I apologize for the... More

This hotel is gorgeous. Stunning rooms only issue was the open shower. Rooms look like you are in an apple store. Very white. Fireplace in room was a very nice touch. Wally the bartender was awesome. Drinks a little expensive though.

We really enjoyed our stay at Bungalow. Loved the contrast between the funky, eclectic, lobby design and the more minimalist clean rooms. The bed was super comfy, and the fireplace was definitely appreciated and got plenty of use since we were there in early March. We had an Aloha room, which was plenty large for us.
