The Empress is the queen of Asbury Park. The rooms are a little tired but there have definitely been some updates done recently. The convenience of the location and Paradise right downstairs makes it worth the money.

If you are planning a night away with the expectation to be up all night then this is the place for you. The only real value of this property is the location across from the beach/walking distance to boardwalk along with the parking. Everything else is sub par. The rooms are outdated, yes they have balconies but with a flimsy plastic chair that you can’t even comfortably sit on. There is no water anywhere in the hotel, in the rooms or for purchase in the vending machines. The hotel houses what is likely the most popular and loudest night club and you can literally hear the music and vibration throughout the hotel. That said - it was the noisiest room I have ever stayed in. When I asked the staff about a room away from the club they said it shouldn’t be that loud. As it approached 2AM and I was still wide awake anxiously waiting for the music to stop at closing time- I was treated to another 15-20 mins of after hour music. If all of this is your scene then this is the spot for you.

Great Place!
We had a great time at the Empress. We had planned to go to the beach but instead sat and drank at the pool all day. It was so nice. You can’t beat its location and its price.

The room was adequate and clean. Great location to the beach and boardwalk area. Within walking distance of many restaurants and venues. Place is a bit dated with the decor in the common areas and not a great attention to details around building. (Someone had gotten ill outside the bar and the mess had been there for a while. )

We had a great time! Just a little midweek overnight pop to the beach. Our balcony overlooked the pool (which has a disco ball hanging center!). The room was simple, clean and spacious. The pool had great music playing and a bar (bring cash!), plenty of chairs to lounge and the water was the perfect temp, refreshing without being too cold. Paradise had drag bingo the night we were there. TOP NOTCH!

This was a great property. The pool was awesome, and the hotel is a block from the boardwalk. We will be back! We had time to explore downtown Asbury Park, and we really enjoyed that too. The Jersey Shore ROCKS!

Great place! Expect partying
This hotel is a classic! Super sweet people, the convenience to the beach and board walk was amazing. Be prepared the music is loud till 2am so if you go to bed early I would be advised to bring ear plugs of some sort. Also make sure to bring an extension cord. Super great will stay again

The room was a standard room with two queen beds. It was clean and exactly what we needed. We had an ocean view! The bathroom doesn't have any counter space BUT there is a spacious medicine cabinet. The pool is clean, great music and drinks are strong and affordable!!
