I paid $209 for a room, it is kind of high, but most of the hotels in the area were sold out, so I wouldn't call it so overpriced( I mean another review). There are nice places to eat around, hotel is clean and quiet.

We stayed for the weekend recently and were surprised by how little his hotel had to offer. Other reviewers have noted that there is no valet or room service, and that's unfortunately still true. More disappointing is the attitude of the front desk personnel when we checked in and the conditions of the rooms. We stayed in a parlor king, which was tiny and cramped. There is a light on the porch that shines directly into the room and cannot b turned off, so good luck getting some sleep. Additionally, the hot water in the shower is warm at best and when asked about having it checked, no improvement was made. For $300 a night, you can do much better elsewhere.

Just returned from a weekend away at Blue Bay Inn. It's a small hotel, on the main road- but beautiful and quiet. Plenty of places to eat, reat food with the choice to go dressy and expensive or casual and cheap. Flo at the front desk is super sweet and has wonderful information about just about everything.

We were there right after Irene and spent a wonderfully relaxing time in this Inn. The room was spacious, well appointed and the staff very pleasant. It's just a five minute drive to the unspoiled beaches of Sandy Hook. The town of Atlantic Highlands itself is a special treat if you enjoy vacationing in a real town-- small town movie theater across the street from the Inn and an array of eateries from a rib joint, to a top notch diner to two where you can sit on the dock at the water's edge overlooking fishing and pleasure boats. And it's only an hour's drive from NYC--- 40 minutes if you take the Seastreak which lets you off about 3 blocks away from Blue Bay.
