Disliked: Room comfort
The room was not bad. I didn't use many of the amenities so I can't comment on that. I believe my room was above or next to the nightclub- the music was so loud in my room it felt like it must be nearby. It didn't end until around 2am. Would absolutely have been nice to know that that would have been a possibility because I would have booked elsewhere. Will never stay here again.

Whenever I entertain someone who has never before been to NJ (yes, I know - I’m often shocked by this as well) then I give them a driving tour and then we stay at the Empress Hotel. It’s a slice of old-school Asbury Park that I enjoy showing off, along with the Boardwalk, Convention Hall, and some of THE best restaurants anywhere - full stop. The Empress is comfortable, clean, affordable, free parking is behind the building, it’s located right across from the Boardwalk/beach, and the staff are absolutely wonderful. My friend from the Seattle area arrived early and we were able to check-in several hours early so she could refresh herself before we painted the town. My original reservation was for two nights but when my friend needed to leave a day early then I was only charged for one night. Staff were very friendly and accommodating - I will continue to take folx to the Empress to give them a taste of what Jersey has to offer. Stay here - or I’ll make you an offer you can’t refuse! 🐴

We chose the hotel originaly for location to our venue for a wedding and reviews online. However, the 1st night we found bugs in our bed and had to move at 1am. Unfortunatley the night staff didn't do anything extra to help with the move and other than no bed bugs the room was more filthy in all other areas(floor, bathroom). The day shift staff did try to make things right by reimbursing 1 night of our stay, but the 3 stars remain.
