Solo trip

This was my first time to the Jersey Shore. I was meeting friends for a concert at Stone Pony. The venue was amazing!!! I enjoyed my stay at the Melrose. It was a great location with plenty to do in the area, great restaurants etc, i appreciated the 1st floor since i had a foot injury. The stairs were a little steep but I managed. Overall was a great stay with no complaints! Definitely would stay here again!

A little getaway

The place, as well as our room, was clean and inviting. It was a great location, 2 blocks from beach/boardwalk. Founder's Park at the end of the street. Short walk across the bridge into Asbury Park. Weekends parking was a little tricky. Enjoyed the front porch. Only bad comment I can say was the light fixture on the front porch was a little low for my husband's 6'5" height. He banged his head about 15 times during our stay. Otherwise we will definitely be back again!!husband

Great location, no frills

This listing is in an excellent location. It’s on a lovely street just a couple of blocks from the Ocean Grove beach. The room itself is bright and pleasant. It is a bit tight, especially for two people. But perfectly fine if you’re not spending much time in the unit. It has a window AC unit which provides good coverage. There is a television on top of the dresser but it would be difficult to watch it from the bed and not particularly comfortable from the couch (unless you moved it). Getting in the front door to the building is a little tight if you are larger or have a lot of luggage.

Beach House

We enjoyed our stay, was as described, clean, and adequate was easy to find free parking. I would say the communication was OK. But they always eventually got back to us. It just took about an hour or so. Thank you

Adequate, but underwhelming

I wanted something nice, by the beach, for my daughter and myself at a reasonable price. Perhaps I am suffering from being timeshare spoiled. From the pictures, I thought the room would have been bigger. There was a refrigerator in the room, but the microwave was communal and down the hall. We were charged for beach badges, although at a discounted rate.

Another great stay at the Melrose

This is our third stay at the Melrose in this particular room. It is perfect for my teenage daughter and I. Spacious, clean, very comfortable bed and linens, location is great. Easy walk to town. Easy walk to Asbury. 20 minute drive to Long Branch. Lots of parking. Really just great!!!

Great find

Perfectly spotless and tidy, with everything you need. There is a coffee setup and microwave in the lobby. Sheila was very quick to respond when there was a minor check-in snafu. A great find, especially for short stays at the beautiful Jersey Shore.

Lovely Ocean Grove

This was exactly as advertised, no surprises. This is not designed for a long term stay, it is simply a room and bathroom. Good restaurants nearby and Ocean Grove is a very nice little Jersey Shore town with a rich history.

Review

Good little spot for a weekend getaway with your spouse/significant other. The room/bathroom is all you need for a beach weekend. Shower was a bit small but it was manageable. Great location - 1 block from the beach. Door lock system was easy and efficient. Would just recommend putting in a new front door outside as the one there is old and very noisy when being closed by guests. Overall, it met our expectations and was a good stay.

It's a boarding house with a private bath

I'm not sure what I was expecting but I thought a little more private. A fine place to sleep and neighbors were respectful and quiet. It's an old house and you feel like it's an old house with some remodeling. The shower is VERY small. I can't imagine if I was any bigger (and I'm pretty fit at 5'10 and 175 lbs). Overall .. It's OK.

Fabulous long weekend get-away

Fabulous stay at this immaculate bed and bath! We stayed in room 1C which was spacious, very comfortable, and pristine. The bathroom was fabulous, newly renovated, and very comfortable. The mini fridge and freezer in the room was a nice convenience, as was the coffee bar in the front hallway. The keyless entry front door and room doors are very convenient too. Although it's not a bed and "breakfast," a short walk into town provides many breakfast options and it's ideal location on a quiet dead-end street with plenty of parking makes The Melrose a terrific option.
