Beach Hotels in New Jersey, United States

Well even though i always request a ocean front room or atleast ocean view i never really get that. This time was even worse the view of the parking lot where there were people doing donuts & revving the engines extra loud taking videos or something at like 3am…. i swear the gentleman checking us in purposely gives you crappy views especially when I’m right in front of him asking for a nice room we’re here celebrating & clearly they don’t care. He’s checked me in before & also gave me a room with no view… The rooms are mediocre at best the hallways are musty & smell like cigarettes. Make sure you bring your allergy meds the amount of dust on the ceiling from the air/heat vent will def set you off!! We clearly stay there for the restaurants & atmosphere Other then that enjoy!!

My employer prepaid for my trip and I received the confirmation email from the hotel. I had a 4pm check in time. I arrived at 5:45pmand the check in line was huge, but hey cool they have check-in kiosks. I enter my info and all looks good. I get. A message pops up that says my rooms not ready yet and to leave an email and I'd be notified when it's ready. I dropped off my luggage in a friend's room since I was there for business and had a meeting. Around 9:30 I went back to check the kiosk since I never got an email and after 30 mins in line they told me the kiosks are too dumb to reassign rooms. He proceeds to ask for my credit card (typical at hotels to guarantee you don't have any extra incidentals charged to the room) and I leave to my room finally at 10pm. I get to a room that reeled of ****, there were ashes on the bed spread and a wash cloth by the room door on the floor. The carpet was dirty and I found clumps of hair on the bathroom floor. Really nice. I then find out they charged me for the room even though it was prepaid by my employer. They charged over 50 people in my group even though the state prepaid it. After 3 days it's still not fixed even though a manager said they were taking care of it. During my visit they never came to freshen the sheets/towels. Even after I complained to the front desk about how dirty the room was. I was told come to front desk and they'd switch room but that also meant carrying my stuff back downstairs and waiting in line. At that rate I was charged for a room for a day for a shopping 2 hours of access to a dirty room. I feel like that day should have been comped. I will never stay there again. UPDATE: They finally refunded the room charges to my bank on Thursday after thie was being addressed in Monday.

Facilities were very clean. Staff was very friendly. Food was awesome. The view from my room was the best part. Will definitely be returning. Thank you

On the surface, Golden Nugget is a solid choice. Rooms are nicely sized, pool area is great, tons of restaurants and generally a good vibe. However, service is severely lacking. The front desk is a complete disaster. I had added an extra night last minute for the two rooms I had reserved, and it was booked as a separate reservation. I called ahead and was assured it wasn't an issue. When I arrived, the agents were extremely pleasant and also told us there was no issue and we were good to go. Come to find out when I was in the middle of working the next day with my do not disturb sign on, this wasn't the case. Housekeeping barged in and said I was supposed to check out. Funny enough, they never came back the next two days to clean the room. I called the front desk and got a completely rude and different tune than the night before. They had me booked in an entirely different room. They managed to fix that, but myself and my travel companions had to go back down to recheck in and get new keys. They had to leave the pool and I had to stop working while I was trying to wrap up so I could enjoy my vacation, to go fix this error. Had this been communicated at check in, I would have handled it first thing in the morning. Sean at the front desk was, at least, apologetic and gave us a few drink vouchers. I would have been happy if everything was resolved. I thought we were done with the problems at this point, but it didn't stop there. The next day when we went to the pool, my friend who went with me to check back in, wasn't on her room so they wouldn't let her in, even though I witnessed her give her name. We had to leave and go down to the desk to get her added. I then find out that my room was blocked from room charges when I tried to order drinks at the pool, even though they had run my card, and I have the $100 hold on my amex to prove it. A little while later, my husband complained to the front desk when he couldn't charge a few coffees, they assured him he shouldn't have this problem and it was fixed. He went back down, and the workers had to call the front desk to confirm, and they said he was authorized (and it was on my bill). Later on, I called for room service and ran into the same issue. I called the front desk to complain and they told me my card was declined (it wasn't) and I needed to come down to run the card at 11 pm, yet again. I told them I had cash, and I was simply letting them know how many issues I had. They said they were sorry, but it was somehow my fault that the card wasn't run. I've never checked into a hotel where my card wasn't in file. They don't even let you check in without a hold. To wrap up the experience, when I addressed the issue with the woman checking me out since I didn't know how I could have charges since I was blocked from adding any to my room, she saw there was a credit card listed that wasn't mine. I gave her my card to show her it didn't match, and to settle the bill. She brought out the hotel

I found out at the time of checking in there is $100 security deposit! The funds would be released 3-5 business days. This impacted considerably my already very sp**** finances. The room I reserved it was not the room I received. It was at the opposite part of the hotel, away from our group creating a very difficult situation for us. Later in the night we discovered the bath tub drain would benefit from the services of a plumber. The side of hotel our room was was being renovated. The room itself was clean. Since it was not a matter of life and death we brave the situation. We walked more within the hotel navigating between our room and a source of food or our group than we walked on the boardwalk. Be warned that many vendors accept cash only and many don’t even have prices posted. Expect from $9/slice plain pizza or plain funnel cake, $18 cheeseburger and up and plan accordingly for your stay in Atlantic City. The pool is outdoors, about 4feet deep and the bottom of it feels like plastic. I almost fell when I got in because my foot slept. I’ve never slept in a pool before! Kids enjoyed it tho.

Was the worst experience I’ve ever had at a hotel. They were working directly under our room at 8am on a sunday. Hammering and power tools and then the fire alarm went off and was told by the people in the hallway we had to evacuate. Was just a horrible morning. Consumers appreciate the fact that you want to improve your facility but please be mindful of your guests staying there especially on a weekend. The reason why we even stayed over night was to have a good nights rest after along Saturday evening. So it really was horrible to be woken up to banging and power tools when all I wanted was a good nights rest.

The hotel had several amenities such as a workout room, spa services, rooftop pool, Several restaurants both upscale and a food court on site. A ****** with several new slot machines and plenty of tables. Right next door to Hard Rock and right on the boardwalk to the Atlantic City Beach. Traveled during the air show which was a pleasant surprise. Would definitely stay here again.

We spent 5 days 4 nights in this hotel Rooms view sea newly renovated, at the 40th floor It was fantastic. Everything is modern. Very well isolated for noise. VERY clean. Closed swimming pool, renovation. Only 3 restaurants, extremely expensive $ This hotel is very well located on the Boardwalk. Ideal for couples. For the ******, very little machines, unlike neighbouring hotels. The only hik at this hotel is: No smile of employees! Small sensation of ... disturb them, except for doors and room women.

The services at Bally's are exceptable. The front desk concierge that checked me and my husband in was very nice, professional and accommodating. The only downside was the pool is down for reconstruction; wish I was told beforehand.

The hotel was not too bad, clean. As expected for a courtyard. Tiny full size beds. Even had a slight view if the ocean. However. The parking situation was terrible. We paid $15 per day , automatically in our bill, but if you come back to the hotel after dark, the lot is full, and there's a very slim chance you're going to get a spot. We wanted to leave the car and walk to the restaurant, but walking back to the hotel after dark, is also a very risky thing to do in that neighborhood. We walked by a couple of guys, with a bunch of high end stolen walets in their possession, and at the end of the street toward the boardwalk is a gentleman's club, so don't walk by with you kids after dark. I won't stay there again. If they pick the hotel up and place it in a better location, I would consider it. But since that's impossible, I'll pay extra to stay at one of the better places, on the boardwalk.

The room was excellent. However the venue was extremely to far for someone with disabilities. The line also extremely to long a wait to enter the concert. It was very painful for me. I have arthritis, the walking & standing was very tiring for me. I think there should have been a shorter route then through the ******. There needs to be more consideration for us that have trouble with our legs. Maybe a separate entrance for the handicap. Separate lines for the handicap. Some sort of special accommodation.

Was the worst experience I’ve ever had at a hotel. They were working directly under our room at 8am on a sunday. Hammering and power tools and then the fire alarm went off and was told by the people in the hallway we had to evacuate. Was just a horrible morning. Consumers appreciate the fact that you want to improve your facility but please be mindful of your guests staying there especially on a weekend. The reason why we even stayed over night was to have a good nights rest after along Saturday evening. So it really was horrible to be woken up to banging and power tools when all I wanted was a good nights rest.

Nice rooms especially for the price but the staff is really nice and accommodating like by far the best I've had in the area and I've been to quite a few rude establishments. No matter what I asked if I lost my key or needed some dish soap etc or a new blanket they always had what ever it was. The place I stayed at before this my sink was broken for weeks and I couldn't get a plunger until the next day. When I needed a plunger here ( I have a potty trainer lol) the girl actually brought it to my room. Very nice

We have been coming to this hotel for different events over the past few years and have not had any issues until our stay in December. We arrived at approximately 8pm on Friday night to check in, as we were running in the Santa Run on Saturday morning. Upon arrival, we were sent to our room - Room 808. When we got up to the room we checked out our “partial ocean view” which was clearly stated during the reservation process and my confirmation email… ✓ BOOKING DETAILS Hotel confirmation: xxxxxxxxxx Arrival Date: Friday, December 2, 2022 Departure Date: Saturday, December 3, 2022 Room Type: Berkeley Partial Ocean View Standard Room - Two Queen Be We were a little confused as we were clearly not at all on the east side of the hotel, so we went down and spoke to the front desk clerk. We asked why we didn’t get a partial ocean view room, when our reservation was for a partial ocean view room. His answer was that “it is either partial ocean, partial city or partial lake” – to which we were like “WHAT???” and showed him our email confirmation which clearly states “partial ocean view.” He literally just kept repeating himself and told us there were no more partial ocean view rooms and “that’s how the hotel works.” We chose that view because last year we had a perfect view of when people began lining up and the happenings going on down the block for the race. Anyway, we got nowhere fast with him and went back to our partial Pacific Ocean view room. It appears that the partial ocean view rooms are typically about $30 more per night than the standard “city” view room. So at the minimum, it would have been nice for him to offer us a partial refund on our reservation. He appeared uninterested and earlier was on the phone making faces to the person standing at the desk about the person he was on the phone with. Very unprofessional. We decided to give up that battle and address it later on. I emailed the management of the hotel on December 5th and December 12th Furthermore, we had a number of other issues with our room. The bathroom sink was clogged and would not drain from simple handwashing. The tub would also not drain until after the person taking a shower was out of the tub. Each of us was standing in three inches of water during our respective showers. Kinda gross. Also, on the subject of gross, the toilet seat was stained and discolored yellow. Other reviews here seem to mirror my experience...and it appears that my sentiments are very similar to many, many others. “The Front Desk Manager (Vincent) gave the same line about how views work to other customers who posted their reviews online.” It is a shame because its location is great - if not for all of the other issues, I would have stayed here again, but no thanks - that was the last time for sure.

We have stayed at this property in the past and did not encounter the following situation. Had it not been for the alerts my bank sends when any charges hit my card, I would have never known. Apparently this property charges a $50 security deposit immediately upon check in along with the full charge for every night of the stay (whether in person or digitally). Once you check out, the charge is reversed and the regular charges for the stay apply. There is no prior notification on either the website for HIE, the local website for this property, details of the room nor the reservation conversation. I thought this a very sly and slick practice. Also the AC units in the rooms do not shut off; they have a permanent fan blowing. The temperature can be adjusted but the fan will continue to blow. The front desk suggested unplugging the AC unit but the cable goes right from the unit deep into the floor, not to an outlet; so this fix was not practicable. In the case of Room 236 which we stayed in, the in room safe was broken (looked like a forced entry if the prior guest didn't remember their combination; the lock was totally gone from the safe making it unusable). We've stayed before and will stay again; overall not a bad property; just a few minor glitches this stay.

The Oyster Point is my home hotel. I grew up right across the river from it (literally, you can see my mum's house from the North Suite), and have many good memories of holiday brunches, and staying here when I was younger. When I moved away from home and wanted to visit, but not stay with family this was my ”go-to”. It's really the only decent hotel in the Middletown area. ...and that may be why they have let the hotel go a bit. I got engaged over Christmas, and while we didn't want to have a full on engagement party, we did want to celebrate with a few very close friends, and COVID being COVID we didn't want to do it in public, but also didn't want to do it at our house. So, we rented the North Suite for Valentine's Day weekend to stay and invited two other couples for a dinner in the room on Saturday evening. THE GOOD: The room is very large and has amazing views from just about everywhere of Red Bank and the Navesink River. In the warmer weather this room would be paradise with the very large terrace overlooking the river. It has 1 full bathroom in the bedroom and a half bathroom in the living area which makes it ideal to have guests over. There is also a table that seats 6 comfortably (tho oddly only has chairs for 5). The staff was wonderful. They always have been. Every time I have ever been to this hotel the staff is so friendly and helpful. (More on the downside to this shortly). We ordered room service for our dinner Friday night and it was quick and tasty and again the service from ordering to delivering was great! THE BAD This room looks great from a distance, but up close it needs A LOT of updating. The chairs around the dining table were full of chips. The table was in bad shape. The sofa in the living area was DISGUSTING with a stain that took up half of it. We covered it with a runner from the bed because it is really disgusting looking. The room is full of wall to wall windows with a great view of everywhere, but it's curious because the one wall that goes along the far end of the room by the bar the shade couldn't be put up or down. There was no string/rope/whatever to do anything with it. (the shades in the bedroom go up and down with the flip of a switch and are blackout curtains. They are perfect for the bedroom) The other shades in the living area do go up and down, but they hardly keep any light out... ...which is I guess a good thing since the lighting situation in the room is abysmal. Once the sun sets even with every single light on in the room you can hardly read a book with the awful lighting in the main room (lighting in the bedroom and bathrooms is fine). The sink in the main bathroom in the bedroom is no joke about 3 inches deep. You can't even wash your hands in it. I have no idea who thought this was a good sink, but most puddles after a sun shower are more functional. The half bathroom in the living area has a more functional sink but the black wallpaper does not fit the hotel or vibe of the room at all. It's mau

We stayed at the hotel because we attended a birthday party and did not want to deal with an hour and a half drive back home. We pre checked in via the Hilton app. As soon as we arrived we headed for our room. The staff at the counter greated us with a smile as we rushed to the elevator. When we went back out, to get to our party, the staff at the counter waived goodnight. When we returned back to the hotel, we stopped at the front desk to get a key for the room, the staff was polite, and friendly. The room was clean and large in size. Overall we had a great stay.
