Reviewer Type: Extended Group
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The room was large compared to other hotel/motels we had stayed in at OC NJ.
Negative: Their policy of no refund. A bad storm was coming in Sunday morning and they were calling for coastal flooding. We left a night early and they stuck by the no refund policy. I understand it's a business but it was unsafe to stay.
Summary: Try the Forum if you are heading to OC NJ
