It’s an old beach hotel. Yes the room is small but the facilities are kept clean and it’s 2 blocks from the boardwalk and beach. Perfect place to sleep and grab a shower, the rest of the day is on the beach.

The staff was really polite and helpful. But the room was a little dirty and the bed felt like it had a grim feeling but wasn’t a big deal since we knew to bring sheets. Would stay there again but 100% recommend bring your own sheets and blankets.

It's lower level.

Great location close to restaurants and the boardwalk. Accommodations were fair. The photos look much better than what you get. If you want something for a few nights on the cheap, this will do. It's the bare minimum.

Budget hotel, but reasonably priced. Bed wasn’t very comfortable, but it was only for one night! Not a great place to go if you can’t carry your luggage up multiple steps actually sets of steps.

Staff was super friendly! The room was a little run down. The shower was very tiny and the bathroom door did not shut all the way making it not be able to lock. Overall, was a good experience!

My Dad and I visit OCNJ every year and we absolutely loved the Blue Water Inn, the staff are so nice, Nancy is always so helpful. This property is a treasure, from the great patio to people watch and enjoy a cold beverage to the cleanliness of the rooms. The location is perfect! Short walk to the boardwalk/beach and short walk to shops and dining. We will definitely be staying here again next year!
