When I booked my weekend stay reservation by phone, I was told my husband and I were getting "room 1" and that it was one of the nicest at the "hotel". Our stay at the Albatross took place in September 2011. When we arrived to check in, we were told once again that "room 1" was one of the best.... More

We made a last minute stop over in Ocean Grove and having never been here before we didn't know what to expect in general. Further, this hotel had a great web site designer--on line the place jsut looks beautiful. Also, the cost of the rooms would also indicate athat it was a bit more upscale. While aware that we would... More

I stayed here not knowing a thing about it. I was playing a gig nearby and this is where the promoters put us. At first, I wasn't excited about staying here considering how it was described to me. The words "shared bathroom and shower" didn't sit well with me. When I got there, I was less enthused about having to... More

I really like staying at the Albatross. I've been vacationing there for the last four years, and will continue to do so, as long as they don't make any drastic changes. This hotel is not a good fit for everyone. This huge place has a lot of charm, but it is old. Most visitors have to climb at least one... More

Bill & Marcy Reilly, owners of the Albatross Hotel, Ocean Grove, NJ, graciously opened their B&B along with others across America to honor the Vets with a free night stay at their charmingly renovated inn in a richly historic and architectural treasure of a small seacoast town. They offered a very comfortable stay and even organized and mounted a comedy... More

This hotel was a "trip" all in itself. Upon arriving to the Albatross, we were unaware of the fact that they didn't have a parking lot, nor any assigned parking. Because of this, we had to drive around for 10-15 minutes (throughout the trip if we wanted to drive anywhere) to go around in the teeny tiny area around the... More

Service is horrible! the... More

Delightful service included baggage help and tour of facilities with Bill. Owners graciously welcomed my day visitor friends. Accomodations were as expected. Guests were permitted to use kitchen, dining room and bath facilityies on the first floor, even permitting use of the facility after I checked out on Monday. Location couldn't be better. The only concerns were: no extra toilet... More

My friend and I decided to go to the shore at the last minute on Labor Day weekend. Since we didn't want to travel too far or spend a fortune we decided to try and find a place in at the north end of the shore. Ocean Grove is a place I visited with my Mother when I was a... More

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
