We stayed in a king with no view. The blinds were missing on one of the windows, to make up for it the staff pinned towels in the windows. For $299/night it's the worst value! The shower was awful. One tiny shower with a flithy plastic curtain. The facet was falling off the wall and the shelves were all cracked.... More

We recently had a small wedding and reception at the Grand Victorian/Black Trumpet in Spring Lake, NJ. The room was very charming, comfortable and great for photos. We watched our string quartet playing in the yard which overlooked the ocean. It was perfect! The manager, Anita, went above and beyond to accommodate special requests. She addressed all our needs and... More

Just got back from a stay at the Grand Victorian it was wonderful. Spring Lake is such a beautiful town and the hotel lived up to the city. The staff was extremely helpful, Anita at the front desk made us feel like we were the most important guest in the place. The resturant is the best in the area and... More

I stayed here with my wife for two nights in both summers of 2009 and 2010. And it was just what the Dr. ordered. A easy respite from NYC, a great location, and the food was phenomenal both times. So, the rooms are 'quaint." This part of the N.J shore is a welcomed oasis in the middle of the rest... More

The location of the Grand Victorian across the street from the beach and next to the Breakers can't be beat. It was incredibly convenient and the views were nice. However, the rooms themselves are overpriced ($170 in off season with private bath) given that the furniture is rickety, old and mismatched (but not in a charming, antique way), there is... More

If your notion of charm is a Holiday Inn Express -- stay away as this place does not rise to that level. Their website boasts spacious rooms. That isn't just misleading, it is a lie. Our "room" featured a double bed which could only be entered from one side, a toilet room without a sink, and a shower/sink room so... More

Big prices for terrible accommodations, small rooms, terrible shared baths, poorly serviced More

Just spent several days at the GV with a friend. We took advantage of their mid-week special rates. We found it clean,with comfortable beds and bedding. The common room on the first floor as you enter is decorated in a very clean and beachy look. If we had more time I would have loved to relax there. Conveniently located across... More

My best friend and i took a spur of the moment trip to the shore and called ahead. The man who booked my reservation was pleasant but didn't mention the hefty tax and sur charge and also when he said there was parking provided, he didn't say on a first come first serve basis (on the street). When I arrived,... More
