Spent one night. Cold feeling room overlooking a highway. Although know beach nearby seemed in another world. Bar noise would have been unbearable except the did close at 1. Night stand lamp burnt out 18 yr old girl -manager? Said "oh well the bulbs probably burnt out and we don't have replacements. I'd take one from one of the other rooms except we r all booked." There's got to be someplace better than this in the Long Branch area.

We were in need of a vacation this summer- due to family issues we were unable to plan ahead, nor were we sure we would actually be able to show, which made peak summer travel plans nearly impossible. Thanks to the very professional, empathetic general manager of this hotel, we were able to book a two day beach getaway. To our surprise, the club associated with this hotel has a nice beachfront pool, beach cabanas, and cocktail service throughout. The hotel room was a gem, with a large clean bathroom, gas fireplace and comfortable bed. The hotel itself is architecturally unique- it's not your average cookie cutter place- details are interesting and different- the photos don't do it justice. Also, it's a very short (3 min) walk from downtown Long Branch, which opens up many dining options nearby. I highly recommend this hotel - it provides a very real beach vacation experience, with excellent / professional staff, while being very close to New York City.

my stay lasted for 3 days and each day was better then the next. the hotel had a cool vibe and the manager / staff were friendly and helpful (not stuffy... which was refreshing). rooms were beautiful and bed was so comfortable. the only downfall was that the pool was closed. already booked our return stay for next summer and the pool better be open this time!

We loved this place and its cool interior, lofty apartments and unique funky bar. Our only complaint was that the bar wasn't staffed all the time but appreciate it was out of season by the time we left. If you are holidaying in the area then this is the hotel for you! Although no breakfast and/or facilities for coffee on site, it's a perfect excuse to try one of the many good eateries around. Cake, bake and roll does terrific muffins and breakfast from 7am or the Turning Point does full on brunch - try the banana French toast if you can't decide, yummy! We didn't try the beach club which you had to pay for but there are many beach clubs along the sea front, all of which seem to charge a similar amount. You also get free parking for the length of the stay.
