We loved the peace and quiet of Ocean Grove. The Ocean Plaza has exemplary cleanliness, hospitality, location, and a plentiful, tasty buffet breakfast. Lucas and the staff are very helpful and informative. The flower blossoms formed on the edge of the toilet paper rolls was such a elegant touch! We plan to stay here again and again.

We had such a lovely stay at the Ocean Plaza Hotel! The location honestly can’t be beat—right by the beach and just a short walk into Asbury Park. I especially loved the porches with their comfy seating, the perfect spot to relax after the day. The coffee in the morning was really good, and there were plenty of breakfast choices. I was just a little let down by the cooked breakfast and would have loved to see some simple extras like sliced cheese and vegetables. Still, overall it was a wonderful place to stay and I’d happily come back.
