Built in 1881, the Albatross is located 1 1/2 blocks from the beach in beautiful Ocean Grove, NJ. New owners recently took over a historic property that suffered from decades of deferred maintenance. In just a few short months, substantial changes have been made. The wide first and second floor porches have comfortable new furniture (as well as sweeping views of the beach). The lobby renovation combines inviting modern comforts with old world elegance. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The new owners have taken great care to create a wonderful guest experience. All of the rooms have new mattresses and pillows, comfortable white bed linens, delightfully soft towels and new window blinds. While many of the rooms have a shared communal bathroom or private half bath, I stayed in a deluxe queen room with private bath. The room was clean and very comfortable, had a window air conditioner and quiet Hunter ceiling fan. While the shower in my room was small, it was spotless, had brand new double shower heads and great water pressure. Coffee, tea and pastries are served at the breakfast bar every morning. But let's be clear - the carpet, the walls, the doors, the windows, the plumbing and electric are old. More upgrades are in store. This type of charming old property is not for everyone. But if you are looking to stay in a fabulous location at a reasonable price, the Albatross is definitely worth checking out.
