We haven’t been to the Jersey Shore since 2000 and we were incredibly pleased with our recent stay at the Belvedere Hotel.
We will admit we had some reservations after reading a couple of the negative reviews but luckily found the comments were not applicable/non-existent during our stay.
First and foremost, our room was clean! Very clean! I loved the added touch of reading materials in our room and as luck would have it, I finished my book before my stay was over and did a book swap with one of the books.
The overall establishment was very clean and well kept! The location was incredibly quiet and the bed was great - we actually slept better and even longer than we do at home!! Perhaps because it was only one block from the boards/beach and an evening stroll along the beach or boards coupled with the fresh salt air was very relaxing!!
The proprietors – very friendly when we checked in but by choice didn’t have any real interaction with them until we checked out. They and quite honestly all the guests were friendly…”good morning”….”hello”, etc.; however we weren’t looking to be entertained or worse yet have to entertain anyone! We did overhear the owners engaging in various conversations with the guests and witnessed their attentiveness and helpfulness first hand. We wanted to rest, relax and enjoy some incredible weather (we got lucky) and more or less disengage from the world for a few days! We are very happy to say…..mission accomplished.
To answer the question would we stay again…..yes! As a matter of fact we made another reservation at the Belvedere for 3 nights at end of the month!!!
