Quiet Gem on the Bay

Such an amazing place to stay. Great food & drinks. Jessie at the bar was so friendly, Thomas was a delight at check in and really made feel welcome. The views from the top deck are beautiful and the space is so relaxing. I definitely will be back.

This was a lovely one day stay. Note that you’re paying to stay in a historic tavern with a nice view and semi-private beach. There isn’t a lot to say (good or bad) about the room or the service. Everything was fine. We’d consider coming back.

We stayed one night while visiting the beach, and it gave us exactly what we needed. The beds were soft, the room and bathroom were clean, and the room was cool the moment we stepped in, which was necessary after being on the hot beach all day. The restaurant's food was delicious, and it was great to be able to eat and then go right back up to the room to rest. We'll definitely be back next year.

Almost there

The building itself is gorgeous. The location is ideal. Restaurant and rooftop bar were top notch. But the room needed some work. Blinds had missing slats which was a big deal since our room faced the rooftop observation deck. TV didnt work at all. AC was just a window unit which didnt really cool the room. The door separating our room from the adjoining room barely closed. Overall, room and bathroom were clean. Bed was comfortable. Extremely affordable for a weekend down the shore. Just needs some updating.

Disappointing stay in Somers Point NJ.

Probably I should have read the amenities more closely as our room was on the third floor and there was no elevator, which made it very difficult for two seniors, 76 and 74, along with our dog. also the mattress should be thrown out as it was terrible. We ordered takeout from the restaurant and my wife's Caesar salad at $12 was crammed into a small 4 inch container. She also ordered 4 shrimp to be put on the salad at $12 and they grilled the shrimp and put on top, wilting the salad. The size was no more than a side salad. Obviously we would not stay there again nor eat in their restaurant and caution others about staying there.

Joseph and the rest of the staff were very welcoming. The view from the upstairs was lovely. Our room was great (Lucky Luciano) but a word of caution, two of the other rooms were right beside a very loud outside air conditioning unit.
