Great hotel to be in the middle of the Asbury Park Music Scene
Pros:

Location for Light of Day music festival was excellent. We walked from venue to venue with the final late night show in our hotel. Rooms are fine; ours was laid out poorly (not enough room between bed and wall to move a suitcase) but for one night it was fine.

Cons:

Parking is ridiculous. Use the Asbury Park Parking App and it will cost you so much less! You can literally park right at the hotel with the App.
