This is the first review that we have ever written and hopefully our last. We have stayed at many hotels around the world and are far from having a biased opinion. Normally we don’t have many complains since we are aware that no place is perfect and improvements can always be made. If you have stayed at the Grenville you... More

Purchased through Groupon deal for off season. Groupon deal included 3 course dinner and overnight stay for two. Thought it would be nice for a romantic getaway. My husband and I arrived on a Saturday evening around 6:30pm. We live only about 25 minutes from hotel. Friendly greeting when we arrived. Went to our room to drop off suitcase and... More

Unfortunately this is not a place to stay. The building and rooms are in major disrepair. Upon arrival there was nobody at the front desk. We walked in and had to call from our cell phones to wait for someone to arrive at the desk. Okay it was a Wednesday afternoon – off season. We were given one key to... More

We are truely sorry for your inconveniences. It seems we could not make you happy no matter how hard we tried. We tried on numerous attempts to please you.

The Grenville provides charm and character to the Jersey Shore, something that is hard to come by these days. You can't beat the off season prices. Service is friendly and dinner is delicious. If you are looking for the Marriott go some place else. More

I must say, there is some disrepair of the property and lots of clutter, but the room was so cozy, the Sunday Brunch, although not ready at 10:00am but had very tasty food, and overall I would rate my stay a huge success. I travel to NJ every other week, and I grew up just north of Bay Head. The... More

I have no doubt that some of the negative reviews you'll read about the Grenville were written in earnest; nobody's perfect. But my experience was unrelentingly positive, and I urge everyone else who warmed in the glow of Renee and Harry's hospitality to record their feelings here. Over spring break, I decided to take my two pre-teen sons on an... More

I just had my best friend's bridal shower at the Grenville. Renee' was so accommodating. The brunch was excellent as well as the dessert. I do not know where they got the cake from, but coming from someone who does not like cake, the cake was out of this world. The room was adorable and so cozy for our guests.... More
