信天翁飯店

You'll want to get your house designed like this place. Can't wait to come back in the summer. Friendly service, amazing location, our room was great (loved the shower! )

Highly recommend!! The hotel is stunning, the service is impeccable, and the location is fantastic. I can not wait to come back here!

This was just the escape from NYC that we needed. We love Ocean Grove and this visit was outstanding, because we stayed at this stunningly renovated, fully modern, perfectly located place. We had previously stayed at another of the well-known hotels in OG, but I think is now our new "home" when we go there. Our room was small and didn't have a great view, but honestly, we didn't pay for the best room in the house so we were not surprised by that. Howver, the bed is very comfortable, the bathroom is beautiful and spa-like, and it was just a lovely place to unwind after a day out enjoying the area. The setup for cords and charging was great - its time every hotel, everywhere, did this kind of thing. I am sure there are rooms with better views - I know there are rooms with their own outdoor space - but for our purposes, we were fine with our king room. When we wanted fresh air we sat on the quiet porch which was delightful. ALL of the folks at the front desk and all the other staff members were lovely, acccomodating and helpful. (This was evident even when booking our room over the phone). We were able to check in before 4 pm which totally helped us, and they allowed us a late checkout which worked so well for us and really allowed us a leisurely departure, thus not ruining how completely relaxed we felt! One thing to know is that, despite the renovation, it is ultimately after all, an over 100 year old house - this means that noise really carries. Some very unaware guests staying near us were pretty loud quite early in the morning - I don't think people realize how their voices carry, and I am only sharing this so that if you go and stay there, you remember to be considerate and keep your voice down during early mornings and late nights! This is not the kind of thing one should complain about to the hotel staff; but its the kind of thing that they should perhaps make guests aware of when they check in, so they can be mindful. Maybe even some signs in the hallways or a little card in the room as a friendly reminder. I also wish they had a breakfast service in the morning - they do have pastries but a little more would be helpful. Not everyone can have a carb like that first thing in the AM! (However my daily chocolate croissant was yummy). We do not drink coffee but there is lovely coffee set up in the rooms which I am sure coffee lovers enjoy. The location is perfect, in the heart of OG by the tents (which fascinated us). Five minute walk to Main Avenue, Days Ice Cream, (the hot nightspot in Ocean Grove!) and a two minute walk to the beach. It is truly an idyllic place that takes you back in time, but when you stay at the Albatross, you get the best of old world charm and modern amenities. They even installed an elevator - which to me as someone with some minor mobility issues, was so helpful and made me a loss stressed than having to constantly schlep up and down stairs. It is a deal breaker for me now, and is one of the

I found out later they'd done a massive renovation on what I thought was an already well-kept older hotel. They showcase the history of its past throughout the property. They hit every mark, with welcoming, helpful and friendly staff, a clean and open lobby, a coffee bar (something any human should appreciate) and the rooms are comfy, stylish and well-appointed. The only downside is the limited parking, but that cannot be helped with the layout of the buildings along the park, toward the shore. If you wish a nice beach vacation on the Jersey Shore, I readily, highly recommend the Albatross.

This is a very charming house a block from the beach and boardwalk. Right now there are some shared bathrooms and toilets, but don’t let that deter you! There will be renovations coming in the Winter I hear and I hope it doesn’t lose the charm. Loved it here. Great location, great atmosphere even better staff! I will be back. ❤️❤️

Terrible place with no compassion for a family in medical crisis. We had to unexpectedly cancel our booking due to our baby being hospitalized. We gave them a heads up that we may have to cancel, and let them know we were totally ok with their policy of being charged for the first night of our week long stay. They then charged us for the entire stay and the first night on top of that, and then told us we would have to wait several days for the refund (minus the first night) to go through. Now we're stuck 3,000 miles from home with a sick child until that refund is processed-- they repeatedly said there's nothing they can do/refunds aren't instantaneous on the credit card end, but as someone who has had to do this with many hotels using the same card, I've NEVER had my money held in limbo like this by any other hotel. Now I understand why they have such poor online reviews!
