I don't know what hotel these other folks were staying in or smoking, but my experience as a frequent traveller was horrible. The gentleman at the front desk that checked me in was about as rude as anyone I've met. We actually squared off, because I interupted a phone call he was on. Now to the room - no A/C,... more

I'll admit after reading some of the reviews about the hotel I wasn't sure what to expect. I'm happy to say my stay was great! Bill and his wife are incredibly friendly and gracious. They made our stay comfortable and relaxing, and the location can't be beat! Ocean Grove is my new favorite beach getaway. I would definitely recommend this... more

The Best blend of family warmth-family friendly-DOWN TO EARTH-and Meticulously Clean-not to mention adorably decorated. We came to lovely Ocean Grove last minute for a vacation after we moved.-just a couple of days to enjoy the beach and the quaint town. Marci and Bill the owners as well as their staff (which includes their family also ) couldn't have welcomed... more

My Boyfriend and I stayed at the Albatross on April 5th - for one night for a wedding we had in Asbury Park. Since the groom and bride advised to stay in Ocean Grove for its charm we were looking for an affordable and close location. Having never been to Ocean Grove before we loved the atmosphere of the town... more

Ocean Grove is truly a hidden secret. After traveling to Cape May for the past ten years...I have found the Victorian ambiance I love so much closer to home. People are friendly and open, the beach is immaculate, and shopping for unique and specialized items is a breeze! We made our accomodations at The Albatross and a future trip is... more

The Albatross is a family run business. The couple that own it go out of their way to be helpful and offer lots of extras (beach towels, water bottles, storage for refrigerator items, a play room for kids, lots of toys around). It was just blocks from a beautiful beach and the town. We never had to move our car... more

recall the scene in "national lampoon's european vacation" wherein chevy chase, returning from the public bathroom, can't find his and his wife's room and accidentally ends up in bed with a scratchy-legged english woman? the ambiance of that crusty, london east end b&b isn't far from that of the albatross: the number on our our door was partly hand-penciled and... more
