Everything was perfect!

We were in town just one night and just needed somewhere simple to stay. This was so perfect! Room was well kept, clean, with a beautiful shower. We will definitely be back next time we are in town.

great location, close walk to boardwalk and to a cafe for breakfast, nice and clean hotel with friendly staff who followed up each day to assure good services

Old motel superficially redone with no electricity to one side of the room. Too expensive for poor quality.

I LOVED my stay. The family suite was even better than the pictures. What a gem of a place. The staff (Kamur and Chuck especially) were kind and helpful. They both went out of their way for me. I can’t say enough about this place or the staff… i was so sad to leave!

The room was clean.

Everything was great!

Amazing! From check in to check out not a single complaint!!! Super friendly staff. Gave my little guy a welcome gift upon arrival. Older building BUT super clean, updated room. Lots of pillows (which never happens). Actual water pressure! First hotel stay that I actually walked barefoot in the room, that’s how spotless the rooms were. Offered a discount to extend our stay a day, wish we could have. Board walk was right up the street. Everything was within walking distance, we never needed to move the car the entire stay. Top Notch Place!

Great location

It’s a little bit overpriced of what they offer but the place is close to the to the beach. It’s easy parking. We always stay there every summer.

The Forum was clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Some information could be given more easily.

Very clean property. Rooms are very nice and the balcony was perfect size

We’ve stayed here before and we’re super happy, but they’ve let it go. Dirty carpets in the room, smeared hand prints on the entry door, carpet frayed so bad the tacks hurt you if you step on them. The balcony area had fresh mustard tracked all through the area. I alerted the hotel and it was still there 4 days later including on the carpeted area. The best features about the hotel are the pool & the upper outside decks. The rooftop deck with fire pit was great on a chilly night. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. Housekeep did a wonderful job. It just needs some TLC.

Property was good, bathroom was also good but no coffee in the room or in the reception area for the price they charge. When we asked the manager, he said people steal so we don’t keep it. That’s not the way you treat customers. If then they should return the $400 I paid for a night and charge only half. We will not stay here again.

Beautiful place and clean

Great location close to the beach. Very accommodating staff, clean rooms, nice pool, parking family friendly location, close to boardwalk rides, attractions, and dining options

Friendly staff!

The Forum is an updated, family friendly motel in OCNJ. The front desk was friendly, and I appreciated the easy check in. The bathroom is modern and spacious. Parking is fine, and easy walk to the beach. I love that they have an outdoor shower to rinse off sand. I would stay here again!

I was pleasantly surprised with this property. Typically shore hotels/motels are outdated and worn but not this property. It has obviously been remodeled very recently. The room looked like it was brand new, it actually smelled of bleach when we walked in so I knew it was clean. The beds were very comfortable with good linens. There are no extras really, lobby is just for checking in- staff was very friendly, location was GREAT! Close to everything. It was very convenient to walk back and forth to the boardwalk. I would definitely return. What this place may lack in amenities it makes up for in cleanliness. It gets the job done.

The property, including the room, was clean and the staff was friendly, helpful and responsive. The property is starting to show its age a bit so some renovations are probably necessary. The biggest issue we had was the noise coming from Atlantic Ave. We stayed in a room that overlooked Atlantic Ave and while the noise from the street is not something the hotel can control, a bit more soundproofing might be helpful. It was especially loud at 6:45am with the multiple garbage/recycling trucks and nj transit buses.
