Hotels near Manasquan, NJ

“We stayed in room 305. The room was beautiful. We loved sitting on the little deck in the morning. The only complaint was that the walk in shower needs to have safety bars installed. I have Polio and I had hard time balancing in the shower. Even if you have some elderly guests having safety bars would make their stay perfect.”

“This wasn't a fancy place! More importantly, it was totally clean! Had everything needed for our night there! Comfy beds and pillows.
Had a refrigerator and microwave which also was completely clean! Seems most rooms had a dog. I felt comfortable and so was my dog! I'd recommend to anyone needing a motel with their dog. I'd stay there again . Pleasant accommodating people , at the front desk. Reasonable prices! Food places close by to deliver to the room. The doors to rooms are outside. Perfect for everything we needed!”

“Perfect room. Cute dining and bar area. Outstanding fitness room. Large stretching/yoga rooms, full squat rack, DBs up to 110lbs, several machines and cables. Location is walkable to everything by the ocean. 2 minute drive to everything else on Cookman or take the scooters for $3.

Great service on-site and customer service over the phone.

Not my first time and won’t be my last.”

“My now-husband and I, and our families, stayed at The James Bradley Hotel for our wedding weekend. I can't say enough positive things about how GORGEOUS and well-manicured the property is. We rented out the bungalow at the back of the property and took our family and first look photos in the back courtyard (my photographer was VERY happy :) ). The bungalow itself was very spacious and our hair /makeup artists were amazed at how much natural light there was inside! The beds were also very comfortable to sleep in, and the air conditioning was FANTASTIC (I like it cold?❄️). The breakfast included was clearly made with care and so fresh- I had one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had here! Our guests stated that the rooms in the main hotel were very comfortable and cozy.

Now, I want to write a review specifically for Emily, the General Manager. She is a true professional- from day 1, she was warm and an absolute delight to work with. She answered all of my millions of questions throughout the planning process and just made me feel at ease. Emily was by far the easiest of our vendors to work with. Everything was perfect and she got every small detail right. Our guests who stayed at the hotel had nothing but amazing things to say about her and the hotel itself. THANK YOU and we will absolutely be back for our anniversary:)”

“The pros: great location, in walking distance to beach and stores. Contactless check-in makes late night arrival a breeze. Bathroom was clean, bed was comfortable. Breakfast was really good (seriously where do you guys get that lemon pound cake? It’s all I can think about! The cons: we stayed in #7 and while the room itself was nice, the window air conditioning units need some attention. They do blow cold air, but they may need some cleaning. Both nights of our stay, my boyfriend and I woke up both morning with sinus issues that relieved when we left during the day but came back when we returned to the room at night. We would stay here again.”

“My husband and I stayed one night, after a concert at the House of Independents (a little less than a 15 min walk) and an additional night with our two kids. It was a great place to stay (clean, and super close to Main Street attractions as well as boardwalk). The staff are beyond helpful and friendly. My family would definitely stay here again!”

“Nice hotel that has a antique look to it. Seems like it was a big home converted into smaller hotel rooms. We love the feel and the look of it. We went for Valentine’s Day weekend and it was a lot cheaper.”

“What a memorable stay for my husband & I who celebrated our 30th Wedding Anniversary. Everything was perfect! We were greeted by Tony who was with us throughout our stay with the upmost welcoming manner. Our room was beautiful and relaxing and impeccable which made our stay even more comfortable. Breakfast was amazing the two mornings, the presentation was beautiful and so delicious. I would highly recommend staying here, the location is also so convenient but more so for the hospitality and the feeling of feeling welcomed. We will definitely be back!”

“We used the Hall at the Asbury Hotel for my husband’s 60th birthday party. My primary contact, Ali, was great at walking me through this whole process. This was probably the biggest event I ever planned and I had less than two months to pull it off. But we felt that we were in very capable hands from day one!
Kim, the banquet manager was there ALL DAY for everything we needed! I couldn’t believe she was still there when the party was going on…that was a long day for her! And everything was perfect! The banquet captains, Katie and Olga, and the rest of the staff…omg the food, drinks and service were all outstanding (like…the food was REALLY good!!!).
They had great suggestions on the lighting. It made such a difference and completed that speakeasy vibe we wanted. And the recommendation for the DJ was SO good! Everyone loved the music and the videos. And some of my friends want the playlist lol!
If anyone needs a venue for a party/wedding I must insist you check out The Asbury hotel!! It was a wonderful experience from start to finish!

“I stayed on the second floor for three nights over the past Memorial Day weekend, and I must say that this place surpassed my expectations.

My room was clean, my bed was very comfortable, I was provided a small fridge, and there was plenty of hot water to shower. I was a little shocked and was ok with the fact that there wasn't a hair dryer or coffee maker in the room like other hotels I have stayed in the past. I was also ok with the smaller TV with basic cable channels as I don't watch much television anyway as I am out of the room a good amount of time during the day.

The hotel has a ground floor pool, offers breakfast, has plenty of parking, and it is super close to the beach and boardwalk activities. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the price to stay here was pretty reasonable as well, in my opinion.

The only thing that was an issue that could be easily fixed is the entrance door to the room. It was a bit heavy to push in, and when closing, you have to insert your key and turn the lock to keep it from slamming loudly. Other than that, this is a pretty good place to stay and would book another room here again in the future.”

“Had lunch with the Ladies on a Saturday afternoon. Not overly busy in the dead of winter so didn't feel rushed. The menu selection is extensive and all reasonably priced. The waitstaff is attentive and professional. A good place for a pleasant experience.”

“This place is an experience from start to finish. The hotel itself is small and intimate, which makes the stay feel really special. The on-site restaurant is easily 5 star quality, and the pool club is more than you could ask for. There's even a coffee and matcha truck on site, and you can have food and drinks delivered right to your lounge chair by using a cleverly QR code. Everything we tried was excellent.

It's definitely on the pricey side but absolutely worth the splurge for the overall experience!”

“This place is is close to the beach and restaurants, driving about 3 minutes, walking like 24 minutes. The receptionist was very kind and helpful. The room was very clean and smelled good. They have parking. I had a great experience for one night. The only inconvenience was that at midnight I could hear the voices of people from outside. There were people talking outside my door, that’s all.”

“As a family of four with a one-year-old and a three-year-old we stayed in their oceanfront room on the second floor. The view is absolutely stunning and you can’t ask for a better location! It is so clean inside I was fine with my one year-old crawling around on the carpet. This place is a hidden gem. The decor hasn’t been updated for a really long time but the beds and carpets and bathroom were so clean and it was perfect for a budget family vacation!! Hopefully the new owners keep it the same way or just make a few updates because it would be a shame if this hidden gem were to go away!!! We hope we get the chance to come back next year as we just discovered Windswept!!”

“We enjoyed our stay at Lamplight Inn.
The location is perfect! close to restaurants, shops, one block from the beach.
Easy check in with a friendly staff. The room was clean. It had a microwave, refrigerator and blow dryer. The bed is a bit firm but comfortable. We were on the first floor, you can hear the people above us walking around. Definitely recommend staying here.”

“Love this hotel! Allison and Bob are wonderful!!
This is a great place to stay, small but quaint and nicely updated … and very clean!
Love the Icona brand …We can’t wait to come back.
Linda & Mike”

Front desk beautiful lady I met was welcoming rooms were clean building was clean and quiet location was perfect ..plenty of places to walk to just to dine out ..10 out of 10 I truly recommend.....Rooms: CleanSafety: All day securityWalkability: Down street from Broadway plenty of bar and foods spots”

“We chose to have a baby shower at the Shore Club this December. Dorina Bregu, Wedding and Events Sales Director was outstanding! She couldn't have been more accommodating. She knows the place and the people she works with, her recommendations were key to making this gathering top notch. At the time of event the staff introduced themselves and checked in throughout to make sure our vision was what they delivered! I was very impressed with the coordination and attentiveness. They put up Christmas trees for us and moved things around seamlessly. Their response time was minutes! The prices were very affordable, family members are considering future events here too.
I understand they are under new ownership, the vibe is positive and promising. Home of the new OLEA restaurant. I wish them all success.”

“I can't say enough about this hotel. Not only did Sam upgrade us due to an overbooking at Boardwalk Beach Hotel, but we were also allowed to stay past checkout time on the beach due to the previous days' crummy weather. What luxury to walk out of our hotel room and be at the beach in 30 seconds!!”

“Decent hotel that feels clean and comfortable, even if it is not as updated as some other Residence Inn locations. The room had a nice layout with a fireplace and plenty of space to relax. The breakfast area was large and well stocked in the morning.

The only downside was the front desk service. The employee working last night was friendly but very slow, which made check in take longer than it should have. Overall, still a pleasant stay and a solid choice for the area.”

“Everything was absolutely perfect! My family and I enjoyed our stay and the pool lol 25 minutes away from point pleasant where we was actually going ? would definitely recommend this place !”

“We loved our stay here! We came during the off season and fell in love with the location, amenities, furnishings and bar. The hotel staff couldn't be anymore helpful, kind and accommodating. We can't wait to come back this summer.”

“What a phenomenal trip. I was there volunteering on the staff for a symposium and the entire weekend was such a wonderful experience. Decent, moderately priced food inside the hotel itself, the staff were some of the kindest people I've ever met in hospitality, and their event team was completely on their game. There's also a Salon attached to the hotel and accessible through the lobby. I didn't need a cut, but the people working there seemed as polite and friendly as the rest of the crew.

The space is good for weddings, conferences, symposiums and any other potentially large gathering. The town itself is freaking beautiful - the beach is a block from the hotel, there's a boardwalk with a playground and old fashioned arcade nearby, a record store, a bowling alley, plenty of entertainment and food options.

My only complaint is that one of the lamps in our room (817) didn't have a switch. Like... it fell out or was pulled out. We just unplugged it for the weekend. One of the electrical outlets in the room was a super loose fit for most of our chargers, too.

Amenities in the room are an ice bucket and free water bottles, the basic lineup in the bathroom, and cable TV. I do wish they had water bottle refill stations in the hotel common areas and by the ice machines, but the age and infrastructure of the building make sense as to why.

The rooms were a bit on the pricier side, though that appears to be a theme throughout the rest of the town. It definitely requires thorough planning to enjoy your trip - the bill can add up quickly if you're not careful.

Street parking in the off season was a very reasonable rate. Valet was a bit pricey for my agenda and wallet.”

“I’m going to rate 3 stars for now because I actually haven’t stayed here yet. I will be with my son this coming week. I was just trolling and reading the reviews and was shocked to see so many complaints about extra charges. Come on people read!!!! I must say me and my son pick a different place every year when we go to try out. This is actually the only place that we have booked that doesn’t charge resort fee upfront, that’s great option for some, as for parking as well it is clearly stated when renting your room all the fees involved. Parking and resort are optional. They also have fees listed to rent grills and grilling equipment . Stop giving a place a bad review because you failed to read the fine print . As for people that book by phone maybe they should explain the extra fees but honestly are u really booking by phone without looking at the website? They have it all posted. I was happy to see we take the train and won’t pay the parking fee, also still debating about the resort fee since I like to stroll for breakfast and we may not have time to enjoy the pool because most of our visit we will be spending with family that lives in the area. I no the location. Perfect for train riders and perfectly close to center of boardwalk, also right in the center tons of food options away from the boardwalk.
Updated review!!! Check in receptionist was very nice and helpful, Other workers were friendly and would say good morning. Internet is not really great and we only got it when in the court yard. A few handles on our dresser drawer were broken off.Overall our stay was very comfortable. The beds didn’t hurt our backs in the morning .The room was more spacious than expected, the shower water preasure was much better than most. They give you soap but no shampoo or conditioner, but I always bring my own anyway.The pool is the biggest at any place we have stayed at so far In the area as well as the patio around it. The ac worked from thermostat which was very nice. The place was very clean. It’s an older place but you can still see the care they put into trying to keep it nice.”

“Just a plain little cozy 60’s motel. The rooms are very clean, the office staff is friendly & very accommodating. It’s got a nice pool & it’s very close to the beach. The weekday rates are reasonable. We’ve stayed multiple years for mini vacations.”

“The room was clean and bed was comfortable. We enjoyed the outdoor pool. Great service. And very good location. Front desk person SRAVAN is very nice and friendly. He is available at anytime. He is Rockstar. Good for vacation.Luxury rooms.”

“Please, Google, correct the name of this business to Anchor Inn. Just look at the photos I already that you’re thanking me for submitting. It’s no longer Super 8, and hasn’t been. But Google Maps users must still search Super 8 to find it.”
