My husband and I stayed at the Bungalow after a family wedding and were very happy with the accommodations. Many of our family and friends stayed as well, so our group had the whole place to ourselves! So different from other places at the Jersey Shore. We were pleasantly surprised! Cool, chic and modern decor, with some very interesting touches... More

This hotel is gorgeous. Stunning rooms only issue was the open shower. Rooms look like you are in an apple store. Very white. Fireplace in room was a very nice touch. Wally the bartender was awesome. Drinks a little expensive though.

We really enjoyed our stay at Bungalow. Loved the contrast between the funky, eclectic, lobby design and the more minimalist clean rooms. The bed was super comfy, and the fireplace was definitely appreciated and got plenty of use since we were there in early March. We had an Aloha room, which was plenty large for us. Front desk staff was... More

Was looking forward to staying at the hotel . Love the designers that were behind the creation . Lobby was cold and univiting. Rooms were stark , chic and unwelcoming . We had lunch at the avenue when we came back we decided to leave . Sure that in the summer this would be a better choice.

I am sorry that Bungalow did not meet your expectations and you decided not to stay with us. We are currently working on a more welcoming and inviting lobby, while keeping the original design of the hotel in place. All 24 rooms are currently being renovated and upgraded with up-to-date amenities. We would love for you to return in the... More

Last minute trip was great! First time calling hotel, they were booked! I couldn't understand why but they only have 24 rooms and have a group staying with them. I called back for recommendations and they had a cancellation. We couldn't find the hotel at first because it blends in with the rest of Pier Village, but with the lights... More

We were in need of a vacation this summer- due to family issues we were unable to plan ahead, nor were we sure we would actually be able to show, which made peak summer travel plans nearly impossible. Thanks to the very professional, empathetic general manager of this hotel, we were able to book a two day beach getaway. To... More
