Shawmont Hotel

Absolutely breathtaking hotel! A true hidden gem. It's rare to find an updated ocean front hotel in the Jersey Shore. The energy is radiating and illuminating throughout and their general manager Anna has a heart of gold. Feels good! I did a sound bath in the main lobby and you can see and feel the ocean from inside. It's a nice open space that fits 15 yoga mats comfortably. The rooms are bright, light, updated, and clean. It's definitely worth it to stay here!

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.

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
