“Decent Hotel near Belmar”

We decided to stay here for a weekend, as we were attending a nearby convention and didn't feel like driving two hours every day.

We decided to stay here for a weekend, as we were attending a nearby convention and didn't feel like driving two hours every day. The hotel grounds are nice and the proximity to the outlets, restaurants and the shore was also a bonus. We chose Room 606, a 2 Queen bed room that faces the parking lot. The mattresses had 5-sided covers and the bedding looked fresh. The room passed the Swiffer Test; no dust. The AC worked within 1 degree of my measuring apparatus, which is exceptional and it remained consistent. Most of the room's fixtures worked. The plugs on the right side of the night table did not. The left side did. The water pressure and heat in the shower was not that powerful. Also, the curtain rod was not installed correctly and we had to push it back into place to keep the shower curtains from sliding open. The room is not soundproof and we had a noisy neighbor. Even with a white noise machine, their activity kept me up. We heard people in the hall, people talking in their rooms. Bad luck we were there with loud, rowdy guests. Pool is small but heated very warm, the provided towels are small. I did use it each day, though, and enjoyed it. Breakfast: a standard Hampton Inn. Scrambled eggs, sausage patties, potatoes, waffle makers, cereal, toast, yogurt and juice drink machine. Coffee/tea/hot cocoa is 24 hour. The staff at the hotel were friendly and pleasant. I would defintely stay here again if we need to.

“Decent stay, but lacked an important amenity”

As a Hilton Honors Diamond member I enjoy staying at different properties across the Hilton portfolio. I had been to this hotel once before, so this was my 2nd visit. One amenity I have come to expect is complimentary spring water. I don't enjoy drinking tap water, not knowing its source. … lisää

As a Hilton Honors Diamond member I enjoy staying at different properties across the Hilton portfolio. I had been to this hotel once before, so this was my 2nd visit. One amenity I have come to expect is complimentary spring water. I don't enjoy drinking tap water, not knowing its source. Yet when I visited the front desk (relatively early in the afternoon) I was told that they were out of spring water. I was not told whether it would be available later. This meant I had to brush my teeth with questionable New Jersey tap water. Everything else with the room was great. No issues with WiFi, TV, nor climate control. Ample room in the suite for my belongings. Bathroom had plenty counter space. Breakfast was satisfactory, as I was able to get both sausage and eggs.

“Just OK”

I have a few bits of feedback about the property. First, it was really cold in NJ in the aftermath of the big blizzard, and in order to get my room warm I had to set the thermostat to 78 degrees, and it never got to 78. It felt more like 70 or 72.

I have a few bits of feedback about the property. First, it was really cold in NJ in the aftermath of the big blizzard, and in order to get my room warm I had to set the thermostat to 78 degrees, and it never got to 78. It felt more like 70 or 72. That was not a problem for sleeping (I dropped it to 74 and it was probably in the high 60’s or low 70’s), but mornings were… let’s say “brisk” even when I attempted to crank it back up. Second, the water in the shower never got beyond sort-of-warm on the first morning. I ran it at the hottest setting for at least 10 minutes, and it went from cold to warm-ish. A cool/ chilly shower is not how I want to start my day. Since I was on an upper floor I thought maybe I was just a long way from the water heater. On morning 2 I turned the shower on to the hottest setting as soon as I got up. After maybe 15 minutes it was warm again, but not hot and not comfortable. On morning 3, my final day, with apologies for what I may have done to the water bill, I gave it 25 minutes, and at great (great!) length, it got warm enough that I could actually notch the setting back very slightly and have a nice shower. On day 1, there was no bath gel. The cannister was empty. Once I asked for a refill for the next morning, they did give me a new, full one. My final quibble is, like many hotels, they use the thin, 1-ply toilet paper. Does that really save enough money for them to justify that choice, especially when one has to use 3 or 4 times the normal amount. Now, on the plus side, the room was quiet (my universal first request) and clean, and the young man who checked me in was cheerful, friendly, and very helpful. Overall, manageable, but not a great stay. As a colleague of mine says, on a business trip we have enough to do without having to manage the hotel. Agreed.

“Decent”

Decent hotel, could be better. The room was clean and comfortable. We stayed in room 507, after arriving we took a shower that was luke warm at best.

Decent hotel, could be better. The room was clean and comfortable. We stayed in room 507, after arriving we took a shower that was luke warm at best. The shower curtain was installed correctly so the curtain kept sliding away from the wall. You had to hold it while taking a shower or the water would go all over the floor. The toilet was weak. The heater was good until 8 am when it started to make a loud humming sound.
