Perfect room and location if you're going to a local wedding! Rooms have good air conditioning and are clean. Lots of parking and free continental breakfast. I'd definitely stay here again.

We stayed at the Inn for a wedding that we were attending there. The check process was a little rough because the lady was new that she was very sweet and I apologize profusely. We got her a room and the room air conditioner was running and it smelled very Damp in there. It is by a river sale that’s part of the issue. I’m sure. The room was clean. The bed and pillows were very comfortable, but it is in desperate need of a makeover. It could be something very spectacular given some TLC. The weddingwe attended at the adjacent yacht club was nothing less than amazing and what a venue! Gorgeous view and the food was to die for.

We stayed last night having attended a wedding at the Crystal Point Yacht Club next door (which has fantastic!). We found the room to be very clean & the bed very comfortable! The staff we’re very nice, and accommodating. The free breakfast in the morning was very good having absolutely delicious crumb, cake, bagels, and even a fresh fruit salad amongst other items to choose from. Definitely worth spending a night there if you are in for a function in the yacht club next door, or even if you are in the area for any other reasons.

Staff was AMAZING!! So friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and did the job. Only gave 4 starts because there is no free wifi and NO Refrigerator. We stayed overnight for a wedding at the venue. We have Verizon but could not send or receive pictures of the wedding. I had to go back to the room and grab my AT&T hot spot in order for my wife's phone to stop trying to download the incoming pictures. Breakfast in the morning was very good with a lot of options. Price was very reasonable and would stay there again now that we know what to expect. They do have an ice machine so bring a small cooler if you want cold water or other cold items in your room.

While not the cheapest place in town to stay, it’s a study in “You get what you pay for.” The rooms are clean, quiet and comfortable. In fact, they’re modern and the bathroom is very nice with a luxurious shower. The location is quite convenient, especially if you’re attending a wedding there. Otherwise, you’ll find yourself with easy access to Point Pleasant Borough, Brick Township, Wall Township and Brielle. Point Pleasant Beach and Manasquan are mere minutes away. Stay here to avoid the loud Bennies over at the beach in the summertime.

Such a quaint place to stay, and the location couldn’t be more quintessentially perfect for a seaside stay. A tiny bit outdated, but it didn’t really matter.

Having a hotel on site was such a game changer! Tiffany, the hotel manager, is so communicative and easy to work with. They offered a continental breakfast for guests, and Tiffany also gave us recommendations for local delis and bagel shops that would cater a hot breakfast if desired. The staff is incredible friendly, the rooms are clean and updated, and they even placed the hotel bags in the guests rooms instead of handing them out at check-in like at other hotels! I used the “bridal” suite for getting ready in the morning and 10 of us plus 4 stylists were very comfortable. We also hosted our after party right on the upper deck which was so fun and so easy!
