I searched and searched the Internet for a nice place to stay during our trip to New Jersey. I was beginning to think there wasn't a quality place to stay, and I was very flexible on the location. Then I saw Staybridge Suites and it looked too good to be true. It was just minutes from the Jersey shore and minutes from my wife's parents house... and the price was reasonable.
What a find! This place is wonderful! It was more than we expected. Don't let the Industrial Way address throw you, it is a great location. It's in a quiet location that is close to everything you could possibly need. In our case, the beach, grocery stores, nice restaurants, and most importantly, Dunkin Donuts. The suite has a fully equipped kitchen if you choose to prepare your own meals, a separate bedroom for the adults, and a pull out sofa bed for the kids. Each room has its own television too, complete with a DVD player.
Every staff member we dealt with was incredibly friendly and willing to make our stay pleasant and comfortable The air conditioner in our room failed to turn on during the second day of our stay. A courteous maintenance man was there immediately to fix it. One unique thing that they do is provide little index cards with directions to any point of interest you might have. They recommended Rooney's, right on the Jersey shore, for seafood and it was wonderful!
The room was nice and clean, with daily maid service; the breakfast was always fresh; and the pool was perfect for our 3 year old daughter. All three of these are evident in the picture we have submitted. Our little girl is enjoying breakfast in the room with her swimsuit on - ready to head for the pool when she is finished.
I have never had a hotel room that was the highlight of a trip before but this place was great and we spent more time at the hotel than I had planned. One other thing that I feel needs mentioning is the shower; it had great water pressure and was very welcome at the end of a busy day.
Thank you Staybridge Suites and staff; we will see you next year for sure.
