The stay was quite pleasant and comfortable and the hostess a joy.
Pros:

I liked Emily, the current manager, she was very helpful, friendly and professional. The place was greatly improved in both the rooms and services. The room had a great walk-in shower and a refrigerator (new). Breakfast now included made to order eggs rather than a useless continental breakfast

Cons:

A typical travel size body lotion could be offered and perhaps an extra egg for breakfast at a reasonable price. A later checkout option if the room is not booked that day would also be nice.

Pros:

If you're looking for a place to stay with a lovely staff and cozy, clean accommodations a block from the beach and 10min walk to town, make this the one. Nested in a quiet residential neighborhood with beautiful homes and landscaping, we felt safe and peaceful at the James Bradley. The staff was very warm and friendly. They had beach chairs, umbrella and towels for us too. Very accomodating. My husband and I slept comfortably and daily breakfast was a treat. This is now my Bradley Beach home away from home.
