Shawmont Hotel

Everything was fine.

The staff at Shawmont were exceptional, the rooms tidy and comfortable and the location right across the road from the boardwalk and beach.

Pros: walkable to Asbury Park, on the beach, young lady that checked us in was very friendly & helpful, clean, good AC/fan, great pillows, Cons: VERY tiny room (apparently “queen standard” doesn’t mean a queen bed either), bathroom had no shelves or storage for getting ready (had to use the tiny wall ledge and the back of the toilet and toilet seat), rusty shower hooks that didn’t stay secure (I had to keep rehanging parts of the curtain each time), only one command hook in the entire place to hang wet towels, the tiniest closet I’ve seen- I couldn’t even move my carry-on suitcase around in it), inconvenient wall outlets (main one on the floor behind the middle of the bed), the only kind of flat shelf space in the room was the chest of drawers that held the TV and a tiny nightstand,wall mount hair dryer burned and started smoking as soon as I turned it on (not a vanity issue as I didn’t NEED to dry my hair- more a fire hazard concern, when I told the manager at check-out she didn’t seem concerned that it was a hazard!). I know we stayed during a high demand festival weekend and expected higher rates but for $1700 ($500/day plus tax) it was straight up highway robbery for what we got!! I’ve stayed in NYC rooms in Times Square that were bigger and cheaper. This place needs major renovations and I will never stay here again or recommend it.

Views of the Atlantic and only steps from the boardwalk are a plus. The parking is incredible for this boutique establishment Walking distance to Main Street Ocean Grove as well as on boards to Asbury Park ..very centrally located. Upkeep cleanliness outstanding to the Shawmont. I always return for my birthday...

Zalig boutique hotel om te verblijven. Zeer smaakvolle inrichting. Aardige medewerkers. Je hoeft alleen maar de straat over te steken en je staat met je voeten in het zand. Maar ook op de veranda is het geweldig om van de zon te genieten en naar de passerende voetgangers te kijken

It would be nice if they could fix the front door. It slams so hard it shanks the bed and the whole balcony in the room above it. Nothing like paying for a beach front room and being kept up till 11 pm and woken up at 6am. Friendly staff is nice but their hands are tied.
