Jersey Shore Memorial Day Hotel :: Ocean Place Resort

TV Shows like MTV's True Life: I'm a Jersey Shore Girl have certainly does NJ beaches a disservice recently but we still have a fond spot in our hearts for the shore. And since not everyone likes to party at Jenkinson's in Point Pleasant or the Parker House in Spring Lake, we tried to find a reasonable beachfront hotel getaway for Memorial Day Weekend.

The Ocean Place Resort in Long Branch looks more than decent. Even though it looks more like a conference hotel (probably it's biggest business October through April), the hotel is located on the Long Branch Boardwalk. There's three restaurants and one bar, a spa and it's right on the beach. Their website is pretty snazzy too.

So from Friday to Monday, the hotel is offering non-view rates of $300, a coastline view rate of $319 and oceanfront king rooms for $419. These rates include high-speed wireless internet, complimentary coffee and newspaper in the lobby.

The reviews on the place are so-so. We think it might have something to do with the staff in the off-season. Maybe come Memorial Day, they will be eager to help you. We hope so at $300 a night for a stay in Jersey. But hey, it's on the beach and it's not a house with 15 other recent college grads trying to get on MTV.

[Ed. Note: We think the photo of the bride running on the beach on the hotel's photo gallery has to be a fake. The Jersey Shore is never that clean!
