Beachliner Hotel

We had a wonderful time! Very quiet place, near by to everything. Bernadette went above and behind to accommodate us! Breakfast was great!

Our stay at the Beachliner was fantastic! Bernadette, the manager, was in contact from the day we checked in and made sure we had everything we needed. Breakfast was a treat - again, Bernadette prepared a feast. Our room was very quiet and comfortable. We were half a block from the beach and enjoyed walks on the boardwalk every morning. We easily found street parking and never had to use the car - everything we needed was walkable. We would definitely come back to stay here.

This was the most distressing and unsafe travel experience I have ever had. I booked a one night stay at this inn on a Saturday in May as a solo female traveler. I was at an event when I received a text from the innkeeper around 8:30 pm that the hotel and a portion of Ocean Grove was without power. I asked if more updates or information would be shared, and she replied "you'll see it. lol." I let her know I was off site which was why I inquired, and she replied "oh ok." This, apparently, is active communication meant to ensure my safety and comfort. I returned around 12:15 am. There were lights on in the lobby and hallway, but my room was completely dark. I tried every light and outlet, and none worked. I gathered my things and returned to the empty lobby, where I charged my phone for a few minutes while I made plans for other accommodations. I notified the innkeeper around 12:30 am that my room had no power and I would not be staying, and she said the owners would reach out to me the next day. The following Monday I sent an email detailing what happened. The innkeeper's reply was appalling. She claimed that since the hallways had power and most rooms had partial power, they were not at fault and would not be accepting any responsibility. She also mentioned Ocean Grove being safe, which I found to be absolutely insulting. Should I have charged my phone and slept in the hallway, because the community is safe?? I have never felt so unsafe in a travel situation, and never so taken aback by a response from a business. Of course it is not the business' fault that the power was out- but to do nothing to accommodate guests and take no responsibility is unacceptable. TLDR: Especially as a solo or female traveler, do not stay here if safety, communication, or accountability is important to you.

Such a terrific combination of beachfront charm and modern efficiency. Trouble-free check-in and check-out. Simple clean and comfortable rooms with very comfortable beds. Bernadette was lovely and helpful. We'll be back. Breakfast was fresh, relaxed and enjoyable.,

What a lovely combination of Victorian charm and new age technology. Spectacular location next to the ocean and a comfortable stroll to great shops and restaurants. While it is not luxurious, the Beachliner is unique in its minimalist approach.
