The Lillagaard B&B

The Lillagarrd B&B gets 2 stars from me. I would not recommend staying here. The host was unfriendly and would not upgrade my room even though I was of course going to pay for the upgrade - no matter what the cost. I was told they could not do it because I booked thru *******. The lodging was old and unkept. The bathroom had no sink to wash your hands. The shower had black mildew. It was terrible. Our room, unknown to us, was on the 4th floor - 4 flights of steps - no elevator. This should be told to prospective guests before booking. The "amenities" were items that I would never use - i.e. not even from the dollar store - less than that. We had a shared bathroom and was to be with one other room sharing - but any guest could (and did) use it. NO RECOMMENDATION FOR THIS B & B - I would not list this.

There are a few things I look for while at a shore-town B&B, and I found each of them at The Lillagaard: friendly, helpful staff; a good bed; close to the beach; a hearty breakfast, and a welcoming, comfortable covered porch with the breeze wafting by. I rocked and sipped tea out on the porch, watching the people passing by when I got back from the beautiful beach. Heavenly.

It was close to the ocean room was clean the owners were very nice Suzanne and her husband definitely would go back

This is an old-fashioned inn with all the qualities that people have always loved in the best inns: very kind friendly people who run the Inn, wonderful places to relax both outside (a large porch and two other sizable balconies) and inside (lovely common rooms with books and games and a piano and flat screen TV and a beautiful diningroom with coffee and tea available day and night). The breakfast was great, the amenities incredible and rooms comfortable and clean. This Inn is a perfect example of what attention to detail, in terms of comfort, aesthetics, design and civility, can achieve.

3 houses from the beach. Quiet neighborhood Nice rooms / porches to hang. Great breakfast.

Charming B&B with an old English feel. 2 minutes walk to ocean, 10 minutes walk to Main Street restaurants, 20 minutes walk on boardwalk to Asbury Park restaurants. No need for a car. The hotel is old with creaky stairs and classic furniture but everything works, friendly staff, and an on-site ice cream store.

Our stay was okay, except for the multiple fights of steep stairs. The building is a a nicely restored antique with no attention to the needs of folks with mobility issues. The are facilities on 4 different floors. When told about or mobility issues there was no offer made to change our room. The view of the ocean was outstanding. The food was adequate, but not to the scale of a B & B. The room was clean and the bed was cast iron.

Warm friendly clean well situated close to beach with ocean views - very nice stay

The property hosts Kevin and Suzanne were wonderful and were as responsive to us as the Four Season's Hotel staff when things went wrong. They were personable and accommodating and kind. The B&B was built in 1871 and, despite updates, had the charm and limitations of an old building. It was steps from the beach and a couple of short blocks from Main Street, so very convenient.
