I just spent some time at the Albatross and felt I had to right a review. It was a warm and friendly place where the owner went out of his way to make sure all our needs were met. The second floor porch was a delight to sit and drink my coffee and look out at the ocean. I will... More

I haven't stayed there for several summers now but the last time I was there (maybe about 3 summers ago), it was on the decline. The owner was had a bit of an attitude & some of the amenities I remembered from the summer before were gone. Breakfast was a joke. The hospitality seems to be gone from that place.... More

I've stayed at Albatross a couple times over the years but don't plan to stay there again when I visit Ocean Grove. Although we had great interactions with some young helpers on the phone in advance, the owner was really churlish and not hospitable to me or my friend. It's well known in Jersey Shore beach b&b's/boarding houses that guests... More

This is an awesome old home turned into hotel rooms in a very quaint town! The front desk people were all wonderful and very helpful! Price comes with continental breakfast and hosted by very friendly staff. After breakfast the owner gave me a tour of the other types of accommodations, each room was decorated just as wonderful as my twin... More

My Family of 5 wanted to take a weekend vaca' at the beach and being from Ohio Jersey Shore was the closest. When we found out about the small, quiet town of Ocean Grove we figured it would be just right. Upon seeing the pictures from the Albatross' website we thought it was just too sweet and decided to stay... More

I was pleasantly surprised with the Albatross Hotel. We booked this spur of the moment for a Saturday night in June and did not know what to expect. The hotel was remarkably clean and the staff was very friendly and went out of their way to make our short stay a pleasurable one. Granted this is not the most ornate... More

Where do I start. First this is not a hotel but more like a low-end boarding house. They are SO RUDE when you check in. The room was filthy and both my husband and I got bed bugs bites all over the following morning. Seriously the department of health should take note and close this place down. I'[m reporting them...

Rating this as terrible and titling this "horrendous" is actually not saying enough. My friend and I stayed at this "hotel" (which is far stretch) just this past weekend. (Memorial Weekend 2012) We were only staying for a night and couldn't even make it through the night. There were bugs, the windows barely opened and no air conditioning. The "hotel"... More

When I booked my weekend stay reservation by phone, I was told my husband and I were getting "room 1" and that it was one of the nicest at the "hotel". Our stay at the Albatross took place in September 2011. When we arrived to check in, we were told once again that "room 1" was one of the best.... More

We made a last minute stop over in Ocean Grove and having never been here before we didn't know what to expect in general. Further, this hotel had a great web site designer--on line the place jsut looks beautiful. Also, the cost of the rooms would also indicate athat it was a bit more upscale. While aware that we would... More
