The Spotlight on The Ocean Plaza Hotel

Seaside Charm Just Steps from the Music

Modern comfort meets historic charm at The Ocean Plaza Hotel, a beautifully restored Victorian-style property in peaceful Ocean Grove. Set just a 5-minute walk from Asbury Park Beach and less than a mile from the vibrant boardwalk, this cozy bed and breakfast offers a laid-back alternative to downtown hustle, while still keeping you close to the action.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a top pick for music lovers headed to Asbury Park. Its walkable location makes it easy to catch shows without worrying about traffic or parking. After a high-energy night, relax in a quiet seaside neighborhood—perfect for recovering from loud venues. With a 2:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out, you’ll have time to ease into your stay or sleep in post-concert. Free Wi-Fi, a helpful concierge, and even facilities for disabled guests make it a hassle-free option for all types of travelers.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends heading to a show and looking for beachside bonding
- Solo travelers catching a bucket-list band in Asbury Park
- Couples making a romantic weekend of their concert plans
- Fans who want a peaceful place to unwind post-show
- Budget-conscious music lovers who still want a charming stay

Food and Drink Options

There’s a snack bar and lounge on-site for light bites and casual hangouts, and you’re a short stroll from the Asbury Park Boardwalk’s eateries—ideal for grabbing a late bite or brunch the next morning. While there's no full-service restaurant, the location puts plenty of local dining options within easy reach.

Nightlife Options

You're within walking distance of Asbury Park’s legendary venues and beachfront bars. Whether you’re heading to a concert or looking for a cozy bar after the show, there’s plenty happening nearby. Prefer to keep it low-key? The hotel lounge is a nice place to decompress with fellow travelers.

What People Say

Guests love the peaceful atmosphere, friendly staff, and prime location near both the beach and music venues. Many mention the hotel’s Victorian charm and comfortable rooms with modern touches like air conditioning and flat-screen TVs.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the historic nature of the building means rooms can be on the smaller side, and there's no elevator, which may be a consideration for those with mobility concerns. However, the helpful staff is often praised for assisting when needed.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want a peaceful, charming stay near Asbury Park’s music scene, The Ocean Plaza Hotel hits all the right notes.

Exceptional

Liked: They have a wonderful porch which easily accommodated our group of 12. They also provided a full and delicious breakfast each morning on another porch which included a variety of pastries and quiches as well as other breakfast staples such as eggs, fruit and pancakes. The location is also outstanding; one block from the beach.

Beautiful bed and breakfast. Definitely...

Liked: There was a leak in our room before we got there. The owner was very accommodating and we know things happen. We were put in another room immediately and were moved to another room for one night. Which we didn’t mind. It all worked out and we were given some compensation for the inconvenience. Would highly recommend this for future travel.
Disliked: Everything was fine.
