Disliked: Cleanliness

Unclean bathroom

Room was fine but bathroom was literally a renovated closet. Very small. Sink was in the room. Shower was old, rust on floor molding and just not clean. Hair in drain, walls had soap slime. I complained the next morning and the person on duty told me it was a new housekeeper. They didn’t offer me a discount at all. Also I paid for an ocean view which was one small window looking out to the side. A porch runs along the front of the house and if someone sits out there (and someone did) they were right outside my room and could see in. So I had to keep shades closed. They charge you a partial fee for beach passes instead of offering them for free. Mediocre breakfast.

Nice B&B, 3 min walk to beach. Room was clean. Not a fancy B&B, just a room in an old charming home. Breakfast was ok. Again, not a fancy B&B. The host was so sweet and welcoming. Ocean Grove is a nice quiet town.

The Lillagaard was delightful, overall. I enjoyed seeing the ocean from a corner room. The innkeeper and all other staff were professional, respectful, kind, and approachable. My room was charming, although small. I'd expected a table or desk, which it didn't have, nor could it fit one. The bed was very high up, which was fun, and slept magically. I never had a problem with wifi or noise. My room was adjacent to an upper level shared porch; if the weather had not been rainy, noise would have been an issue; they should alert people booking that room. Breakfast was a tasty mix of consistent standards with an occasional extra surprise (plantains, once). They could stand to vary the meat proteins, tho, i.e. turkey and/or chicken sausage alongside the pork and ham. I greatly appreciated the coffee/tea station and ample fridge, stocked with multiple types of creamers, w/plenty of room for takeout and drinks. The property was clean and well-kept for a building of its age (a little over 150 y/o). I own a very old house, so I am sympathetic to what maintenance involves, especially so near the ocean. That said, the wallpaper and woodwork in my room needed some attention in spots. Water rushing thru the bathroom pipes from the floor above rattled me for a day, but I adjusted. Not a problem; old houses are a big part of Ocean Grove's charm.
