Avon by the Sea Hotels

Location

Amenities and decor...very dated and dingy.

I was a very nice stay. Courtyards aren't usually top tier so that's why I gave it 4 stars however it was nice and clean and comfortable.

The pool was freezing cold and really needs a heater and the whirlpool had far too much chlorine which made me feel a little sick after use.

Great value for the cost. Not many dining options nearby, but Wawa across street offers a surprising variety of healthier grab-and-go options.

We were given free parking to compensate for the fact that our room was not ready upon our arrival.

The hotel restaurant was not available during our stay, which was a huge disappointment. The handles on the dresser were broken, the volume button on the iHome was broken, and there was some sort of water damage to the ceiling. There was also a round of housekeeping where some trash was not removed.

The staff couldn't have been nicer. The lobby and the building itself is absolutely gorgeous. The location of the hotel is prime for going to the boardwalk or the nearby venues such as the Stone Pony. The pool was a really nice area in which to relax.

The rooms were nice but for $300+ a night (the going rate for a summer weekend), I would have expected it to be nicer. The room was small, which was expected, but it seems the room hasn't been updated in several years. The bathroom is a bit strange - at least ours was. The sink was super shallow and the shower doesn't have a curtain or door. It has a glass panel that doesn't fully prevent the water from spraying onto the bathroom floor. Not the worst hotel room I've stayed in but not the best one for the price paid.

The extra room for the kitchen

The lobby to small, not the value, the spa was not working

The type of customers that stayed at the hotel at the same time we did were shady looking characters. I honestly worried about my wife and children on a couple of occasions when I left them in the room to pick up a few things. the guests staying above us were loud and disruptive on the night we stayed. The were "partying" till about 2:30am. The front desk was unresponsive and when called did nothing to address the situation, as a result my wife went upstairs and respectfully requested that they keep it down as we had two young children attempting to sleep. We then received a call from the front desk saying that we were not to disturb the guests and if we "disturbed" the guests again we would have to check out and the police would be called. We were baffled! The grounds were filthy and we had to have our room changed because of the smell of our initial room. Dont stay here, if you do remember: "I told you so!"

I napped on the bed for 30 minutes and woke up with a bad back and neck and so did my boyfriend. The bed was like a wooden plank, the towels were crunchy and hard, and the soap didn't even lather. We checked out after an hour- we couldn't stay any longer unfortunately.

Close to point pleasant

My daughter got her period and got some blood on the sheets by accident. The manager called police and wanted me to buy the hotel a new mattress

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.

The rooms are newly remodeled and the bed was very comfortable. They advertised a jacuzzi that we could not find. Perfect for what we needed: a place to rest and recharge between trips to the beach.

The room was very clean. Very friendly people working desk . Kids enjoyed the indoor pool and the morning breakfast was very nice.

Paying $3 for a bottle of water from there snack center.

Service was the best I've seen

Location was good

Bedspread had burn holes. Bugs in bathroom. Pool is broke with weeds growing in it. Screen was ripped

Nothing to like....

Despised this filthy pit!!!!!

Great hotel for the price. Clean, comfortable, and quiet, plus close enough to all the good spots. Will definitely stay here again.

The cleaning lady was awesome don't remember her name but she has on blonde hair

When I went to check in the front desk clerk (a man) I asked if their was a nonsmoking bedroom and he said no so we headed to a nasty really bad condition smoking bedroom where we couldn't be in there with how bad it smelt it was on the 2nd fl. So I went back to the office and I said sorry but I can't toe rate the smell so then he changed my room to a very nice new remodeled bedroom. It bothered me because he said there wasn't any

Nothing, aside from the location.

The dirty bathrooms, the stench, everything.

Location & staff.

No.

Right across the street from the beach, 5 minute walk to the center of town & a very friendly/accomodating staff. My daughter & I loved it!

Comfortable bed

TV was not working, waited 4 hours in the AM for hot water was not able to take a shower. Checked out early. I was told I will be reimbursed for one night since I checked out early, after looking at my credit card state I was not reimbursed.Disappointed

Great location -- too bad the franchise doesn't help this owner do a big remodel and update.

Non-smoking room smelled like it was formerly a smoking room. The bed was comfortable and everything was neat and mostly clean -- the edges of the rugs against the wall were not. It was okay for one night -- we were there only to sleep, but it is dated.

Clean room

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

The motel staff as tremendous. Checking in was painless. Then on of our party found their room was dirty- linens, bathroom, and floor. When inspecting the bed, they found shed skins, poop, and even a live bedbug. They refused to stay there. The Super 8 staff gave them an immediate refund.

Bathroom doors seemed to universally damaged

Price would have been fair for location

Rooms were dirty and there was bed bug sign and live bugs in at least 2 of the rooms our group reserved. There was hole in our wall that looked liked an axe head. Linens had not been changed and were gross. We left and went somewhere else

Breakfast in the morning, cleanliness and convenience and the pool.

The price was right for a few nights stay at the Jersey shore. The people at the front desk were helpful with questions asked. Liked that there was breakfast available.

There were some noisy people next door. The bathroom door would not stay open when trying to get fresh air inside. Was concerned about an elderly lady who sat outside and smoked . Every time we would enter/exit the hotel she was there. Just a little weird.

there were big 6 inch holes in the walls, paperwork said non smoking room has ash trays and smelled guy sprayed suit freshener to solve the nonsmoking room issue. No toilet paper in the bathroom. The walls had stuff splattered all over them, worst experi

NOTHING.

STAY AWAY!

The staff was very friendly and very accommodating.

There was a bed bug sitting on the counter while we were checking in.

Friendly and helpful staff my bed was comfy and I appreciated having a mini fridge in the room for sure !

Hope they fix the pool

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.

This hotel was the perfect, quaint little getaway for the weekend!

No!

We stayed here just as a place to sleep during a festival weekend in Asbury Park but it was so much more -- we will definitely be back!

The friendliness of the staff, the food, and the location.

No.

Location was excellent - hotel bar, lounge areas, entertainment options and pool, etc. were great.

Our room was on the small side and was missing basic things like a coffee maker. I like the modern look, but the room wasn't upscale modern, it felt very ikea modern. So for the week-day rate/deal I got, it was fine, but I wouldn't have wanted to pay any more for the room we had.

The design of the hotel is beautiful. Fells very west coast and has great access to the beach.

Rooms are really small and do not have anything like, coffee machine, fridge, or microwave. Also no adjoining rooms in the hotel.

the breakfast in tearoom was very nice and good. the staff was very accomadating and pleasant smiling. location was nice a bit of a walk for shopping coffee and meals close to beach. parking was tough- park and let your car parked or you lose.

really small rooms and the sink is not in bathroom which is terribly small. the pictures do not match reality

needs some updating without changing the Victorian décor. the exposed electrical and plumbing looks haphazardly done. beyond shabby sheik.

We pretty much liked everything about this B & B. The room that we stayed in, although on the third floor, was very spacious with a parlor room and view of the ocean and a very comfortable queen bedroom. Breakfast was exceptional. The owners were cordial

I would imagine that parking on the street could be a problem when things are busy during the summertime, but we were there in December, so we found street parking to be a non-issue. The stay at Lillagaard was way better than a two star rating.

The B & B owners (Dick & Jane)provided superb hospitality and were also helpful with directions and finding night life on the town. The place had a great Victorian charm. Our room (The Polo Room)was spacious and wonderful. The Tea Room on the lowest level for breakfast was magnificent and the servers were prompt and very friendly. I look forward to returning some day to stay at Lillagaard in Ocean Grove.
