Ocean Manor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"It's in the perfect location. Park your car and don't have to move it."

The Forum

8/10 Good

"I was impressed with the hotel and the room. However, I think they should use a vacuum cleaner to clean the floors in the room. I found a lot of hair that wasn't our color so I was constantly picking up dark hair off the floor. It's only a suggestion, but a vacuum cleaner would pick up, sometimes better, than a swiffer cloth! (I clean for a living!) The beds were firmer than I expected so it was hard for my husband and I to get a comfortable night's sleep. The room was tastefully decorated, the pool was very nice (more cleaning up after guests would have be nice around the pool area, though), and the location to the beach and boardwalk was perfect! We were disappointed that guests didn't follow the pool rules - there were several guests eating by the pool when it was posted that no food or beverages were allowed! "
