Met my college roommate and we had a wonderful stay. Rooms are dated, as other reviewers stated, but very clean and the staff was amazing - super friendly and helpful. Bonus that we found free parking in the lot and there was a continental breakfast buffet included. Great location, too! We’ll definitely return!!!

In pretty good shape for her age, the venerable Empress is centrally located for beach and boardwalk. Catering to the LGBTQ communities this is a great place to stay for fun day and night. But don’t go for a peaceful nights sleep… when Paradise nightclub is open the entire building vibrates — literally!

We came into town for a concert at The Stone Pony. The hotel staff was very accomodating and friendly. The room was dated but clean. I could see the ocean from my room which was a big plus.

I was expecting it to be loud with the club attached but I didn't hear it at all. Very convenient location as I was seeing a show at the Stone Pony. Easy check in/out. Friendly staff. Bed was hard as a rock and very low to the ground but I would still stay here again when in Asbury.
