Top Central Hotel Reviews

The Coral Sands Motel

10/10 Excellent

"The regular straight rooms are very nice, but they’re very small. There is no coffee pot or coffee in the smaller rooms. You must ask for room service The room, though was very clean when we got there Parking is very tight Nothing fancy just a place to sleep"

The Linda Grande Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A recently renovated older property that is in the heart of OCNJ. Really clean and well-maintained by a super nice staff. The building is old and my room, just for me, was small but perfectly fine. I imagine this place will become quite popular. The huge second floor porch is one of the nicest spots in OC. Plenty of good food options nearby and the best coffee in OC is just across the street."

The Cove

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at The Cove during the Labor’s day weekend, the place is clean, everything looks new, the bedrooms are well equipped. The bathroom was A1, spacious, nice, clean. The bedroom has a very nice tv, with some free movies to get relax after spending some time in the beach. The location is strategic, the boardwalk is very close, there are plenty of nice restaurants and cafes around, and also there is an Avenue (I forgot the name) with very nice stores to shop around. The market is also nearby. Before I forget, the receptionist, was very welcoming, nice and always listening nice beach music with really makes you feel you are in the beach to just relax! I highly recommend this place, and hope to come back soon."
