I cannot express the weekend that we had at the Empress in words. Seven of us got two hotel rooms there for a wild Labor Day weekend and I do not think that we had any idea just how wild our weekend was going to be. First of all, the non-Jerseyites (including myself) were shocked at the concept of **paying... More

Nice convenient party place. Come to play, not relax, especially on the weeekend. More

So I stayed at the empress over the summer, last week of July to be exact. I stayed during the week, because I had seen and heard just how rowdy it can get on the weekends. I have to say my stay was sublime, my only complaint was just how much my room smelled of cigarettes. More

I got a room at the Empress Hotel for my aunt, 3 sisters and myself. We danced the night away at Club Paradise and then we took the elevator up to our comfy room. I can'wait to stay there again, the accomodations, location and staff were great. Thank you Empress for a fantastic stay! More

The hotel is clean and the beds were comfortable. The only complaint I would have is the bathroom. It could use... More

We stayed at the Empress in mid-August, 2011. We were delighted to find a hotel that allowed us to bring our dog. Our room was a large corner room, with a balcony, at the far end of the hotel away from the nightclub. (Be sure to ask for a room away from the pool and nightclub as that can get... More

The location is great, right by the beach, walking distance to good restaurants, a club in the basement. Don't stay there if you're looking for quiet.
