Best experience ever!

From the moment we walked in the door we felt welcomed and at home. All of the staff was very friendly and helpful. The lobby and common area were very clean as was the outside of the building. When we got to our room it was also very clean not a spec of dust in site. My favorite thing about the whole stay was the amazing complimentary home cooked breakfast! I would 100% recommend staying here.

Perfect hotel in a perfect little town

Everything about The Ocean Plaza is exquisite: it's VERY clean and comfortable, the location is perfect, the staff is friendly and helpful, the building is in superb condition inside & out, and the breakfast spread is extensive. There are great restaurants nearby, the boardwalk is long and lovely, and Asbury Park is a charming place to visit (in particular, Cookman Ave). My wife and I are already planning our next stay.
