All in all for a weekend get away it’s not too bad. Close to the beach. Plenty of restaurants around. I was there in the off season so I could only imagine how busy it will be during the regular season. Only disappointment with the room would be the bathroom. It could be updated a little bit with counter space. While there is a coffee pot in the room, there was no tea for the non coffee drinkers. No refrigerator or microwave in the room. I guess you get what you pay for.

In pretty good shape for her age, the venerable Empress is centrally located for beach and boardwalk. Catering to the LGBTQ communities this is a great place to stay for fun day and night. But don’t go for a peaceful nights sleep… when Paradise nightclub is open the entire building vibrates — literally!

Upon booking, there was no information provided that described how loud it would begin the rooms. We were all the way on the third floor, but could hear the music from the club vibrating the walls. The room next to us also could be heard too easily even over the music which made the whole experience so unbearable to sleep that we left at midnight to drive home because it was impossible to sleep.

I was expecting it to be loud with the club attached but I didn't hear it at all. Very convenient location as I was seeing a show at the Stone Pony. Easy check in/out. Friendly staff. Bed was hard as a rock and very low to the ground but I would still stay here again when in Asbury.
