Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“This place is just a block from the beach and the boardwalk. Rooms were very clean. Cleaning staff on-site was very accommodating. Check in was a breeze. They offer a discount code for badges down by the coffee machine/microwave. Parking can be tough so would recommend getting down early and spending the day on the beach before check in.”
“We stayed at the Melrose for 5 days . We found street parking right by the house. The location is perfect !! Our questions were answered promptly. It was a short walk into town and to the beach. We used the chairs provided. We often walked into Asbury and explored their downtown restaurants and coffee shops too. We even rented a swan paddle boat . Great memories made.”
“Great location! Parking can suck but there is a lot of free parking. Good and close restaurants walking distance, beach is right there, can view the sunrise from the balcony on second floor a bit. Cute lil space.”
