We took a day trip to the boardwalk and last minute decided to stay overnight. While in the parking lot I was able to book a room and drive to the inn within 10 minutes. I had booked a 2 queen size bed room, non smoking. The rooms were clean. There were fresh towels in the bathroom. My favorite feature was the door covers, they used window stutters to block the sliding glass door that lead to the balcony. Anyway there was a TV, mini fridge, coffee maker. There is enough flor space for folks that don't want to share a bed. Only issue was the room key card didn't work on the door entering from the outside. I had to enter from the floor below and walk up to let my family into the hall before going into the room. Minor detail The front desk gentleman was very professional. No fuss.

The rooms are intimate. The breakfast was generous, but it was very bland. The sausage was soggy. The juice was watered down but. I'm going to have to say my stay was a good one. I felt like I got extra for what I paid.

I’M NOT WEALTHY, SO I’M THRILLED TO FIND SUCH GREAT ACCOMMODATIONS, THAT I CAN AFFORD! MY GRANDSON AND I VERY COMFORTABLE AT OCEAN GATE INN. The Ocean Gate Inn offers Top Notch budget accommodations. My room is spacious, clean and well appointed. The bed is good. The bedding is clean. The pillows are very nice budget level pillows. There’s a balcony that has a view of the river, which is ok. There is a major street right there. However, the sliding glass door is very high quality, with double paned glass/windows. There is very little street noise coming through.. The location is in a quaint, residential neighborhood. The location isn’t fancy, but it feels/seems/looks safe. I especially like that there is covered parking. I’m giving Ocean Gate a 5 stars review, because I couldn’t be enjoying this trip if it wasn’t for their great rates. I would definitely feel comfortable to have my granddaughter and her friend stay here, they are two twenty year old single gals. This is not a sophisticated location, it’s a personality plus location. It’s staying where the locals live. Working, calm, nice locals that is. I used Hotel. Com and I like them a lot too. I had to cancel my reservation due to an illness. They gave me a complete refund.A few days later, I used them again for this trip.
