We had a wonderful stay at the Marilyn Inn. It was only a block and 4 houses from the beach. Maylin was friendly and helpful while we were there. The Inn was new and nicely furnished. We had breakfast on the porch and it was delicious. We thought it was a continental breakfast but it was a full breakfast with eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast. We would highly recommend this Inn.

I was on a solo me-time vaca. I truly enjoyed my stay here. Marilyn was so sweet and funny. The staff were friendly. The place was very nice and looked newly remodeled. I loved the modern decor. Breakfast is included and was very good. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend to my friends. Also, it’s only a little over a block from the beach and you can walk around town. I didn’t need my car at all. I walked the boardwalk to Asbury Park and had dinner. Marilyn has bikes to rent as well. Great place, great little towm!

The Merilyn Suite, room 2, has a gorgeous balcony and you can see the ocean a block and a half away. The sofa bed is in a separate room with its own half-bath, so kids can be kept away from parents. The suite has no self-control thermostat and was freezing that night. There are no outlets next to the bed, so even the lamps on the nightstands are just for show.

The Bad and the Good...Only two complaints: the Febreze smell was overpowering and they should switch cleaning products and you can hear everything like people going up and down the stairs at all hours wearing cloggs, boots and spurs! The Marilyn Suite is very nice with its own private balcony with views of the ocean and Webb St. balcony/street life. The bed is firm, not too comfy but ok for a few nights and it was a Queen and we usually do King. It was just a little noisy for us and we picked OG vs. AP so it would be quieter. The staff were awesome. One worker carried our suitcase up the stairs and Renee brought our breakfast up when I couldn't carry it myself as my hands were full. Overall, a great stay. Breakfast was homemade and coffee was good!

Our stay here was excellent! The room was clean and cozy, the beach rentals were super helpful, and the hotel was quiet. The staff was also So friendly and willing to help at any point. I highly recommend this hotel for other visitors. The only thing that would have been useful would be a print out of the key room information, like the innkeeper's number, wifi information, breakfast timing and offerings, door codes, etc. We are likely to come back!

Our host Mailyn was fabulous. The breakfast was tasty and appreciated. The building is beautiful conviently located a short walk to the beach and a short walk to main street businesses and restaurants. Three items that made our review good instead of great: 1) we were on the top floor. hot water took a loooong time to get there 2) the shower stall in one of the bathrooms leaked 3) the thermostat is centrally controlled - it was too cold for our liking Oh and the pillows were amazing. Can you post what kind they are so I can buy some for home?

Beautiful, clean, updated and perfect location - walkable to everything and having the gorgeous beach there was amazing. Good breakfast and staff was super friendly! Only negative thing was the fire alarm went off in my actual room very loud at 6am and woke me up, staff said the stove set it off while cooking breakfast, and it has happened in the past. Should probably figure that out since it scared the **** of out me and a few offers, I couldn’t go back to sleep after that. But regardless I will definitely be back ❤️
