Top Central Hotel Reviews

Ocean Manor Inn

8/10 Good

"Great little room. Comfortable bed. Although near the street, it was quiet for us. Had toiletries available. Had assigned parking spot. Staff very helpful. Only downside, we didn't have coffee maker, but coffee was available in lobby after 7 am."

Biscayne Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The suite I stayed in was very clean, and I really appreciated the separate sitting room and bedroom. The kitchenette was perfect to be able to have some meals in the suite. The staff were friendly and helpful. I loved that each suite is privately owned; it felt like a small, well-decorated beach house with the safety and amenities of a hotel. On-site parking was great, and the location - easily walkable to beach and boardwalk, and also downtown Asbury Ave - couldn’t be beat. Really enjoyed my stay here and will definitely come back."

The Cove

8/10 Good

"Here is what we loved: 1) excellent price for two bedrooms and 2 bathrooms connected to each other 2) great location 3) comfy lobby with a nice coffee/water station 4) relaxing and comfy front porch 5) rooms were simple but efficient The only things lacking/ unsatisfying were 1) daily room cleaning and / or access to refresh towels 2) my daughter’s room had a lot of sand leftover on the top sheet"
