Avon by the Sea Hotels

The location and the view were great. The pool was also nice. We spent $600 for two nights at this hotel. A beach weekend for our family of four. When we checked in, they said we could park our car for the first night only (which we had to pay $20 for) but we'd have to move our car to street parking by noon the next day because there was a wedding and they wanted to reserve the onsite parking for wedding guests. That seemed crazy to me. The street meters had a 3-hour limit, so we spent our weekend walking back to the street every 3 hours to feed the meter. A good hotel doesn't do this to their guests. The building looks pretty run down from the outside. It's old and there were some broken windows. Our room was fine, but the overall experience wasn't worth the money we spent. I'd look for something else next time.

The outside of the hotel looks better than the inside of the hotel. The hotel is located in a quieter section of the boardwalk. I received a text message at 2 o'clock telling me my room is ready, when I arrived at 6 o'clock my room was not ready. They upgraded me to some sort of better room however it was disgusting! Holes in the couch, dirty windows and Doors that were falling off the hinges. The valet boys do not help with the bags. They only allow you to keep your car until 12 o'clock for an additional $20 fee

Very unhelpful staff!

The view and being so close to the beach Everything. Water was barely running and was luke warm which made it feel like I was in jail, considering there was no heat and it was freezing. It seems like a lot of druggies rent from this place, lots of drama ( watching people argue loudly as I was leaving , had a random dude follow me to Dunkin' Donuts asking if he could borrow my phone, and I said No, which he didn't appreciate)

Half a block from the beach, easy to get to, comfortable beds, very quiet neighborhood, attentive staff. We really only needed a place to sleep and it worked for us. I would most likely stay there again. The man at the desk even offered to help with our bags and made suggestions for restaurants No phones in the rooms, had to go back down to the front desk as soon as we got there because our key didn't open the door. Then we had to go back down again because the bathroom was dirty. The TV was on the fritz.

Relatively clean, inexpensive accommodations Loud shouting in the halls throughout the night - difficult to sleep.

Mentally illed people walking around the hotel asking for cigarettes. The goverment might have put him in there to stay.

There was nothing to like Room 125 Manager: Keith Date of stay: August 15th 2015 Duration of stay 4 hours.... and drove back home (2 1/2hrs.) Recommendation: Never stay here. 1) I requested a non smoking room and received a room full of fumes...Cigarette smells and mildew / moldy scents 2) The ceiling had a massive crack from the main door to the opposite side of the room.... I had asked if there was water damage since the ceiling tiles in the bathroom were full of mildew and coming down. 3) Floor tiles were lose and coming up 4) This room was totally neglected, The main door to the room was rusted out... right hand conner of the door was deteriorating and seemed as if someone could kick right through 5) I asked for a pet friendly room, but I should have asked for a human friendly room.... i sure my dogs would have gotten sick if I stayed longer. 6) The Pictures online did not remotely match the hole in the wall I stood in 7) The linens were clean but the beds looked like they needed to be tossed. I was totally afraid that I would take home bed bugs or crabs! 8) If anyone fails to mentions, this location is flanking a bar/club .... yes... young loud college frat kids that will be up all night will be your neighbors 9) I have read the reviews here and I can't agree with any of the cleanliness comments.... this place should be considered a motel... the "condom" on the floor in the hall speaks for it self 10) Price: 225.00.... it should have been $60.00 per night.... 11) I was a 1 of 2 groups made up of 4 individuals...... both groups said: "HELL NO" we can't stay here.... and headed back to Brooklyn NY 12) Keith the manager, did not want to refund my card... he told me directly, that if I called Consumer's affairs, all I was trying to do was to blackmail him for a better rate.... ????????? Help me understand that....

My name and I stay in a lot of hotels while we're on the road and this is literally one of the quarter we've ever been to. We drove all day from Providence, RI for a site the next day in Asbury Park, NJ. We cost this hotel because it had 3 beds and a kitchen which is pretty rare. It was freezing outside. When we got into our room the great was completely off and unplugged (I assume to save energy) so the room was also freezing. The room actually had two heaters one of which never worked for our entire stay. The next day I went down to the office to complain that the heater was not working. The "lady" at the front desk basically called me a liar repeatedly saying that I didn't know what I was talking about. We were going to stay for another night but they were so rude that we decided to go to a different hotel. Later that day, they called us and claimed that we had stolen two of their pillows. I tried to explain that no one in my group had any reason to steal pillows but again they claimed I was lying. Then they charged $20 to my credit card to make up for these imaginary pillows. Which I believe is illegal because this charge was not authorized.
