Overnight Stay

Location was perfect in proximity to what we came for in the area (beach, boardwalk, asbury park). The check in couldn’t have been any easier. Here are some critiques. The view from our room was nothing special. The online photos made the room seem like it was bigger and in better condition than it was in actuality. The bed had a slanted feeling to it. The bathroom was too small and the one mirror in the bathroom was not very accessible.Location was the best part. Clean enough. Fine for what we needed and if you’re there for the location it is a great option.

Quick Overnight Stay

Me and my boyfriend went to a concert at the Stone Pony and did not want to have to drive home after. We booked this cute little place online and the location was amazing! 2 blocks from the ocean and less than a 15 minute walk to the venue and main Asbury Park boardwalk. The photos are a little deceiving as there are photos of a few commons areas that look to be a part of the room, but photos were accurate, space was very clean and check was very simple. Host provides plenty of instructions, updates and reminders before, during, and after the stay.The room was small, shower control was very strange, no shelves in the shower was a little odd, Window A/C unit does not work 100%, a few blinds were broken, only 1 small trashcan for the room as well.

When they said meticulously cleaned

It must have been a joke. It was filthy, from under the bed to the mini-fridge and the walls. For them to charge as much for a cleaning fee as much as the room was ridiculous considering my room did not look clean at all. The drain would not drain. There was also no blanket big enough for me and my partner. Nice location but nothing else.

Great One night stay!

Loved the AC’d rooms with mini fridges as well as 2 beautiful porches where we enjoyed a quiet evening. Great location two blocks from beach and boardwalk near a dead end that abuts a park. Just wish we had reserved a room with a queen sized bed instead of a full sized bed.

The Melrose was clean and quiet for a two-night stay off season

It was strange to stay in a "hotel" with no front desk and no staff. To be honest, I much prefer a human presence. Yes, a certain amount of information was provided in written form, and there was a contact number to call if you had a question or issue, but I still would have preferred someone to be working in the building. I was given a room on the third floor which required going up many, many steep steps. I would have preferred a lower room and it didn't seem to me that the rooms on the first and second floors were all occupied (hard to tell) so I wonder why I was given the least convenient room in the entire building (third floor, all the way in the back). The room was clean but one of the blinds was broken and the air conditioner placement was as far from the bed as possible, making it hot for sleeping even when the A/C was running full blast. The bathroom was clean and functional though very small with no place to put anything. It needs a shelf or two. Towels were adequate, though the inclusion of a beach towel would have been nice. The coffee service was appreciated but there could be tea pods available as well. The building is well situated at the northern end of Ocean Grove only a couple blocks off the ocean and very close to Asbury. It was easy to park for free right in front and easy to get around by foot by while I was there. The porches were nice to hang out on.

We had a nice stay overall. The location was great, the property was quiet. The bed was a bit uncomfortable and on a slant so your feet were higher. Cpuld have used better pillows. But great spot otherwise.

We really enjoyed staying here. The location is excellent. We were really close to the beach and a short walk to town for shopping and food. The building is quiet, clean, and safe. The only reason for providing 4 stars instead of 5 is we didn’t have enough towels. After asking, we were told to leave our towels outside the door and they were never replaced.

Good location

Location was in a great spot. It was a little deceptive compared to the listing however it was a nice place. The coffee/couch area is not apart of the room, it’s a communal area. This isn’t a big deal however the listing makes it appear as part of the room. Our room did have a fridge that wasn’t listed so that was nice. Very clean and great communication.

Upon getting to our room we noticed there was large gaps under each door and there was minimal sound proofing. Our room had many marks and holes in the wall as well. Upon entering the bathroom there was a large amount of hair all over the shower area and the waste basket had stains all over the side of it (either vomit or toothpaste). We could also hear everyone's conversations throughout the building. If your looking for a one night stay by yourself this might be a good option, but I would not recommend this to couples or families.
