We spent one night at the perfectly located Empress Hotel. The Empress is across the street from the Asbury Park board, and a stone's throw from the legendary Stone Pony. From the moment you check in, the warm hospitality is apparent. The entire staff is helpful and accommodating. Rooms are clean, and freshly renovated (renovation in progress). We had a... More

Stayed over the 2013 Memorial Day weekend and all I can say is that the hospitality was by far second to none. The customer service while booking my stay as well the service received upon arrival and through the duration of my stay exceeded my expectation. I would highly recommend the Empress Hotel to anyone looking for a beach stay... More

This years Memorial Day weekend stay was perfect- hotel staff, bartenders, waiters, deskman Tom and manager Kristen, the best. Thank you again for making us all feel like family. Always my number one choice at the beach.

The staff were really friendly and the seafront location is excellent. We booked online and the only option was for a room with 2 double beds. When we arrived at the hotel we had the option to take a king room. The room was clean and we had a great view of the ocean.

We have stayed at the Empress on 3 different occasions. We love the super quick walk to the Stone Pony (which is the usual reason we are in AP) and to wander along the boardwalk that is there. The rooms are clean and have plenty of room along with a deck which I love when we get home at 2:00am... More

The Empress embodies Asbury...colorful, unpretentious, friendly and lively. I've been coming to the Stone Pony for years and always end up staying here. The staff is friendly and accommodating; professional yet warm. It's in the process of being renovated and we stayed in one of the newer rooms facing the ocean with a small balcony. There's a club downstairs that... More

I stayed at the Empress from January 26-27. The Empress was such a great place to stay. The front desk workers were sweethearts and the rooms were beautiful. I really appreciated the discount they gave towards the people who were apart of the Beard and Mustache comeptition. Next time I'm in Asbury Park, I will be staying at the Empress... More

Our stay at the Empress was quite pleasant. The staff was extraordinarily friendly and accommodating. We were in town for a charity event and the font desk even donated some money! I personally couldn’t have asked for much more. The rooms were nice and clean and the balcony was a nice bonus. All in all I had a great experience!... More

We showed up on fri for check in and were met by friendly accommodating staff. We were given our room keys, and headed upstairs. The rooms were spacious and the balcony view to the strip was great.There was a large group of us that came down for a Beard and mustache competition, so at some point over the weekend things...
