Port-O-Call Hotel

8/10 Good

"Overall good experience. The balcony was large and the view fantastic. The employees were very friendly and helpful."

Ocean Manor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This is a charming hotel right near the boardwalk and beach. We had an end room with a balcony. The balcony was comfortable and has a nice view of the ocean. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. Housekeeping was provided daily and kept up with the room nicely. The parking is great!!! The pool area is a little hidden oasis. So clean and well maintained."

The Cove

10/10 Excellent

"From the lobby to our room itself, the hotel was very clean and the inside had all been updated. We got a King Bed Room (Rm14) and it was very spacious with a large closet, a mini-fridge, and a microwave in it. The bathroom was on the small side but very clean and met our needs. The bathroom had a standing shower only, no bath-tub. The pool yard is small but convenient and clean. Michael is the new owner and he was very helpful and nice to talk with. We arrived earlier than check-in time and he was happy to accommodate us and let us get in our room early. There is a Keurig in the lobby that you can use for your morning coffee or there is Holiday Coffee shop or OC Island Cafe within a block walk from the hotel. I'd highly recommend both of these options. I think the only semi-negative comment I would have would be the rooms are a little echo-y since they have high ceilings and hard wood floors but that's not really a negative. If you're looking for a well-priced stay for a long weekend at the shore, I would highly recommend The Cove!"
