Love Melrose for last minute overnight beach stay. We live in NYC and the Melrose is perfect for overnight stay. Easy check in, clean, comfy beds and short walk to beach!

Pristine and Peaceful

Lovely rooms and bathrooms with a home-y but slick feel. Lazy porches and rocking chairs. Walk to the beach. We will definitely return.

Melrose Visit

The accommodations were comfortable. A small kitchenette would be nice for longer stays. Also a coffee pot rather than a keurig would be nice. Appreciated a clean room.

Clean but floors sagging

Accommodated us getting in a little early so that was nice! Room was clean but floors were so not level the head of bed went down hill, we had to use bottom of bed for our heads, so couldn’t watch tv. There was a hole in closet floor! No visible smoke alarms in room!

Enjoyed our stay

This is not a hotel! It’s an awesome, very clean old house with everything you need to enjoy time at the beach. We stayed for a weekend to attend a wedding. Location was excellent - we parked and never moved our car. Our Room was a good size, especially considering the age of the house. Friends who also stayed said their rooms were a bit smaller. Porches were awesome. The coffee station was great. Good to know - - The walls are thin. The steps are small and steep. Not a complaint. it’s an old house and that’s how they were built. Just be aware. Will definitely return.

What I liked most about Melrose, since I'm the one who booked it, was that it was exactly how it was advertised/marketed/shown and described. I appreciate that! Half a block to a beautiful beach and boardwalk. Very clean. Nice space. Good bed and nice linens. Nice bathroom with a great shower. Window AC as needed. All communication through email and only the important details. Complimentary coffee in the morning. Easy access keyless keypad. And Ocean Grove is lovely! The hardest part was the parking and on a holiday weekend, no less. and only one afternoon we had to park a healthy distance away. Melrose had a very competitive price relative to most places around it. All in all, we were very pleased!

Some problems, but fundamentally good

TV remote had a dead battery, I believe. The wifi in my room was unusable. I couldn't get a connection to last more than a minute, including at 5:30 a.m. when I was probably the only person in building seeking service. I couldn't get the nightlight in the bathroom to work. None of these problems were serious for me. The quality of the finishes was high and the proprietor added some nice touches (very nice towels, a white noise generator, comfortable seating, a non-cheap refrigerator/freezer, a set of keys for room access.) The second floor shared balcony with a wonderful view was a nice surprise. Other guests were quiet.

I'll Be Back

The Melrose is in an excellent location: two short blocks to the boardwalk and beach, just over the bridge to downtown Asbury Park, and a less-than-fifteen-minute walk to the train station. A car was unnecessary. From the window of my room I could see Founders Park and a corner of Wesley Lake through the trees. The house had a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere, definitely old school shore, but at the same time clean, up-to-date, and very much loved.
