Ocean Crest Pier

The hotel is an older typical beach hotel, definitely not upscale. The door to our room didn’t shut properly, huge gap in the bottom and a screw was poking out, which caused me to actually get stuck in the room! Took a lot of pulling and pushing to get it open. The mattress was very firm and lumpy, new ones are needed. Housekeeping does not come everyday. The room was bigger than expected with a full on kitchen and accessories. The living room area had a Murphy bed, could close a door which made it feel like two separate rooms. Great if you’re traveling with a family. There’s a $250 damage deposit hold on your card. It’s far from the boardwalk, that’s where all the restaurants and fun stuff is. It was quite a distance away, but was walkable (took about 30 minutes one way). There’s a parking garage with a fee. I was in a corner room with a nice view of the beach. Easy access to the beach, made it nice if you need a break from the sun. Never made it to the pool, but it was quite crowded. It’s a pool, nothing fun for the children like the hotel next door. The hotel needs a refresh. I felt safe while there. The staff was friendly. If you’re on a budget, looking for a place to lay your head down at night, this was a good enough hotel.

Family friendly. Construction reduced access to elevator during checking in. All enjoyed Waterpark. Room was pretty clean. No breakfast. No bugs of any kind seen.

Grand Atlantic Ocean Resort was amazing! The staff greeted us with smiles and were very helpful with answering questions and getting us into our condo. My family and I enjoyed how clean and spacious the condo was. We loved the ocean front balcony coming from the living section and the master king size bedroom.Both of my kids loved staying directly on the ocean and swimming and hanging out on the beach and in the ocean. My youngest child loved all of the swimming pools and the lazy river. We all loved sitting on the balcony while listening to the ocean and eating dinner on the balcony. I encourage anyone to book here. You will love it!
