Quick overnight stay

We came into town for a concert at The Stone Pony. The hotel staff was very accomodating and friendly. The room was dated but clean. I could see the ocean from my room which was a big plus.

The Empress Hotel is a great spot and I would highly recommend to anyone. I had a small issue with the sink faucet in the bathroom but management took care of it right away. Paradise, the night club, is a lot of fun. Can't wait to come back!

Perfect for shows at the Pony

This hotel, while dated, is absolutely the perfect place to stay if you are seeing a show at The Stone Pony. The room was reasonably clean and tidy, no fridge which was surprising but not a deal breaker. Be warned, if you are there on a Friday/Saturday night, or any night that the nightclub is operational you will hear music all the way to 2AM no matter where you are in the Hotel, our room was on the 4th floor, farthest you could be from the club, and we could still hear it, didn't bother me as we didn't get back until midnight and we were at a show anyways, but don't expect sober sleep until after 2am :-) That said, IT IS PERFECT if you are seeing a show at STONE PONY, it's literally a 30 second walk, it's fantastic. There are also some local bars that are walkable, most notably the WOnderBar and the Robinson Ale House, fantastic, will stay here again.

I have stayed here twice now and absolutely love it. The staff is wonderful and helpful, the club attached is sooo much fun. I brought my dogs the first time and it was a pleasure, I left them home this past visit. My only suggestion would be for a mini fridge in the rooms. Other than that a great place to stay and close to everything on the boardwalk as well as a 10 minute walk to town.
