Detailed Reviews
The manager was very helpful in changing our room, as my mom is elderly and we needed different accommodations than what I reserved. The staff are very friendly and helpful, so I'd advise calling in advance to learn more information about the room you reserve. The breakfast food was very tasty, fresh and a good variety of choices. I would advise any elderly guests that the bathroom in the apartment is very tight without bars to hold onto. The beach is very close and the neighborhood is quiet, so it's an excellent choice for a peaceful get-away. The furniture could use a little updating but everything worked fine.

We just got back from a 3 night stay at the Ocean View Inn in the Family Suite with our 3 young grandchildren. While there are some 'shabby chic' elements to our room, the Ocean View was perfect for our needs. The staff was EXCELLENT, given the Covid limited contact restrictions. The free breakfast was very good (scrambled eggs, sausage, pastries, yogurt, juices, etc) and more importantly, very safely managed to prevent contamination. I felt confident every precaution was being taken to keep the environment clean and safe. The location is superb for enjoying the boardwalk, the sea, shopping, Asbury Park, safe bike riding, etc. We had no problem finding close parking on the street. Also, the bed linens felt quite luxurious! Minor cosmetic repairs are needed in our room, (missing drawer knobs, towel hooks, scratched furniture), but did not detracted from our excellent time there. We fully intend to come back next summer if not sooner!

We had a most enjoyable time at the Ocean View Inn during Christmas weekend. The lobbies were delightfully decorated, along with tasteful, twinkling exterior lights.
Our room was quiet and meticulously clean. Most visitors will undoubtedly mention the breakfast buffet... an impressive array of hot and cold items, graciously served by the staff each morning.
I highly recommend the Ocean View without hesitation, and hope to stay there again.

We tried to book a room by calling the Inn directly. We were told that they do have room but they would have to get back to us. So clearly we didn’t book with another hotel assuming that we were all set. When the call never came, we called back! The owner answered this time, asked all sorts of questions, complained about another guest and finally said sorry we are sold out! He offered no apology or explanation for not calling back! Hardly hospitable and rude!

We celebrated our mid week anniversary here and have decided it is “our place”. Even though it’s still winter, there’s still a lot to do in Ocean Grove and Asbury Park. The staff are wonderful, hotel is exceptionally clean, and the rooms are smaller (but all of the rooms in the old Victorian’s are small) but the bed was comfy and the bathroom was perfectly sized. My favorite part about this bed-and-breakfast is the breakfast. Even in this economy, they had real eggs and very tasty danish that tasted like it was straight from the bakery. Great coffee and there’s just not one bad thing I can say about this hotel!! We’ll be back again in the summer!!!

We love this charming and cozy inn that is just a quick walk to the ocean, the Ocean Grove Pier, or the boardwalk that leads into Asbury Park. The morning breakfast is worth staying for, too, rather than venturing out. This place has become our must-stop spot to stay as part of an annual trip to visit our son at college. It helps to break up the trip and recharge us with that refreshing ocean air.

Lovely inn and room with kind, helpful staff. Was one block from a nice beach. Quiet area in a nice little town. Lots to do nearby. Our room was nicely done and very clean. Breakfast was wonderful with home-cooked foods, local baked goods, and great coffee. Highly recommended!

Being a block from the beach is fantastic, but there are other advantages to staying at the Ocean View Inn - friendly innkeepers eager to accommodate, crispy clean sheets on the bed and best of all - an all out breakfast extravaganza. Best breakfast buffet I have ever had. Thank you OVI!!
