We loved our weekend getaway at the James Bradley. It’s the perfect location, right next to the beach. The property is gorgeous, quiet and clean and the staff was very welcoming and friendly. The breakfast included in your stay is delicious and there are plenty of dining options in Bradley Beach or Asbury Park and Belmar, which are a quick drive. We can’t wait to come back!

If you're looking for a place to stay with a lovely staff and cozy, clean accommodations a block from the beach and 10min walk to town, make this the one. Nested in a quiet residential neighborhood with beautiful homes and landscaping, we felt safe and peaceful at the James Bradley. The staff was very warm and friendly. They had beach chairs, umbrella and towels for us too. Very accomodating. My husband and I slept comfortably and daily breakfast was a treat. This is now my Bradley Beach home away from home.

Gorgeous hotel, walking distance from beach and shops, highly recommend! Room was also clean and quiet. The breakfast was also very good, buffet style, with great healthy options. I went as a young, under 20 year old couple, and we were treated the same as everyone else. Would definitely go back!
