we enjoyed our weekend stay during st patty's day 2012. we had a nice clean room and the management was very pleasant and allowed us to have a late check out time on sunday. continental breakfast was adequate and fresh. lots of free parking was available and the hotel has a very good restaurant plus was relatively close to the...

This had to be the worst place I have ever stayed at. I’m glad I arrived dressed for the wedding I attended there. Just the thought of having to step foot into the shower…..would have killed me. After enjoying a great time at a wedding, I actually considered sleeping in my car before getting into bed. Instead, I practically stayed... More

I feel terrible for the wedding party that recommended this place to their out of town guests. They must feel embarrassed! I have seen better accommodations at a cheap motel. The walls were crumbling, the carpets dirty, the bed looked like a board was keeping it from falling down! The rooms and hallways smell from mold and mildew. the telephones... More

I stayed here twice in the summer of 2011. While I stayed in two almost identical rooms, one was far cleaner and more renovated. The second room smelled like mildew no matter how high the AC was turned on. It just felt old. Also, the bathrooms in the lobby were old and rusted over. It needs to be renovated. On... More

We stayed a Thursday night. It is an older hotel, (we didnt mind) very clean and pool was also very well kept. The kids loved how the pool was right next to the room. We had breakfast in the morning and it was delish.. We wish we had dinner there instead of eating at an over priced resturant near the... More

Doolan's is a very nice hotel -- run by the family. You even see them there! They are all very helpful. We had a nice room with a king size bed in the main part of the hotel. Now, this is not one of those chain hotels (Marriott, etc.) -- this is a special place. The price was verrry reasonable... More

It's only an hour's drive from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn to beautiful Spring Lake, NJ. Doolan's provides a relaxing atmosphere at the pool and a top-notch restaurant where a full complimentary breakfast is served and an excellent dinner menu. The almost completed renovation includes a lobby bar with seating, that although stool height, felt more like a large, comfortable chair. My... More

Room smelled musty & needed to use hair spray to partially eliminate the horrible odor. Felt like I zoomed back to the 1970's with the Patchwork bedspreads & goofy, dirty lampshades. Carpet was nasty & bathroom floor & shower floor- I was afraid to step on them with my bare feet. Could not find a pen to write with (basic... More

We spent the weekend at Doolan’s. It was mostly a nice getaway. The good points included the price, the cleanliness, the lack of a minimum, the yummy hot free breakfast, the very sweet & accommodating staff, the pool & ample free parking. The bad points included the age of the property which even the renovations can’t hide, the pool is... More
