I have stayed here twice now and absolutely love it. The staff is wonderful and helpful, the club attached is sooo much fun. I brought my dogs the first time and it was a pleasure, I left them home this past visit. My only suggestion would be for a mini fridge in the rooms. Other than that a great place to stay and close to everything on the boardwalk as well as a 10 minute walk to town.

My boyfriend and I were in town for a wedding and stayed for 2 nights. The hotel was within walking distance to the restaurant for the reception, the beach and boardwalk. The staff at the front desk were all very nice and the room was clean with a balcony. Since it was off season parking was easy.

Fun funky clean
Lovely room at the end of the boardwalk, we felt safe and it was quiet. The lobby was relaxing. We didn’t realize it, but there was a show there that was so fun, we spent the night in the lounge in the back of the hotel. It has a funky fun vibe, a bit retro. Staff was nice.

The room was too small and the bathroom even more uncomfortably small. There was no bathroom counter to put my makeup and hair necessities to prepare for an occasion. There wan no microwave available to heat up food and we had to request a refrigerator. The closet was not big enough to fit our belongings for 2 people.

We went in early October and were attending a concert at Stone Pony Summer Stage. It is literally right across the street from the Concert Venue and the wonderful Asbury park boardwalk! Parking was easy and the rooms were clean with nice bedding and very comfortable. Only negative is that the rooms were a little outdated. Bathroom was a trip back to the 70s, but very functional and clean.

Great location and very good value. Balcony overlooking pool was nice. Having a night club on the property made it a very short walk at the end of the night. Every staff member including bartenders were friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately, the elevator wasn't working with no insight when it would be back up.

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.
