Room was very small but functional for 1 person. Pool area was nice. A little pricey for what you get.

The pool has limited hours and proffered seating for locals who join for the season for less than the cost of one night’s stay. There’s no valet and no assistance with bags in a building without elevators. Charging $700/night is inflated, like highly.

It had everything he promises in the ads. The room was clean and seemed new. The staff was very friendly and helpful, there was a great energy at the bar and the air conditioning in the room was great considering it was 100 degrees outside.

The arrival was smooth and the checking was fast. The room is ok, the A/C in the room was struggling on a very hot day. The bed is a Murphy bed, which was very disappointing. No fridge in the room. The pool closes at 5 pm which was too early for us. But the staff was very nice and helpful, the pool is great and the service is amazing

I wanted to love this hotel, but the experience didn't come close to justifying the price.
The rooms are extremely small, and having a Murphy bed means there's barely any usable space beyond sleeping. For boutique hotel rates, the accommodations felt cramped and underwhelming.
The walls are also incredibly thin. Despite quiet hours being posted throughout the property, they don't seem to be enforced. You can easily hear neighboring conversations and, unfortunately, even hear toilets being used and flushed.
The pool experience was equally disappointing. Signs state the pool is open until 6 PM, but poolside service stops around 3:30 PM when the kitchen begins shutting down. Staff start collecting towels and closing umbrellas well before the posted closing time, making it clear they want guests to leave. To add to the confusion, staff insisted the pool closes at 5 PM, despite signage at the pool saying otherwise.
Pool beverage service is also unnecessarily restrictive. Guests are limited to pre-made cocktails and cannot order drinks from the hotel bar, leaving you with a selection of overly sweet canned or pre-mixed options.
For the rates charged, the level of service and overall guest experience fell far below expectations. There is no way I could recommend this hotel to friends or family in good faith. The property has potential, but management needs to align the experience with the premium prices they're charging.

The hotel itself was historic however, the rooms were all updated and functional. The beds were comfortable and linens were quality, I took note that the shower was roomy and the waterflow was substantial which you rarely find in other hotels. The staff was friendly and helpful and recommended area restaurants and venues. The in-house restaurant was nice and staff was friendly. Parking was a bit challenging at times but I was able to eventually find a spot. Overall it was a nice experience and would recommend it!

It’s a cute place. Comfy beds. Pool closes too early. No ice machines. No in room coffee. Front desk closes early and then there is no staff person around at all. Not sure I understood the self service concept. But let’s have the pool and bar open.

The Pool was absolutely disgusting, the water was full of dirt, bugs, body oils and lotions, clearly the filter wasn't working properly and not enough chlorine. guest rooms are very noisy, hard to sleep.
The Air conditioning in the room are awful, the rooms do not get cold enough.
great service at judys, food was mediocre at best! Wont be returning to this establishmen

The location is very good. The bar and restaurant were very good. The pool was a bit overcrowded based upon club members and people with $65 per day passes to use the pool. The pulsating music all day long got to be annoying. For a place you pay about $700 per night, there is no parking. You have to carry all of your luggage up and down a narrow old staircase. The room walls are paper thin and very small. A few young women were in the next room and talking loud and laughing until 2am. I had to text the invisible staff so they could text the other guests. The pool is only open 10 am to 5pm in the middle of summer. They have a coffee bar but no milk or cream or sweetener. The pool towels are very thin and cheap. You can check in early or check out late for an additional 50 bucks or more. I had a good time and the on-site staff works hard but is not empowered to improve your stay.

Hotel was easy to access; room was nice and clean. Our room was on the same side as their recycling, so it was a bit noisy with bottles being dumped various times throughout the night, despite being on the top floor. It is clear the staff are new and they are working out kinks - for example the front desk gave us a free drink pass that no one at the hotel knew how to use. It’s very confusing the division of the different businesses within the building, between Harry’s, Judy’s, the pool and hotel. Pool was a bit frustrating as is was very empty most days we were there but there were reserved signs on all the seats. Members have more opportunities over hotel guests, like the ability to reserve a pool seat through late afternoon, which was off putting considering what we paid to say there.

The Lounge and Bar are both charming and well thought out, and the overall vibe of the place feels modern and intentional. The pool area is nicely done too—comfortable lounge chairs, and when the staff is attentive, it’s a great space to relax. But the staff is hit or miss. Some interactions were been warm and welcoming, but others felt flat-out dismissive. It’s a bit jarring when you’re paying a premium and don’t know whether you’ll be treated like a guest or an inconvenience.

Then there’s the room—and this is where the real disappointment sets in.

The Murphy bed, which might sound charming in theory, dominates the room (probably 12x12 at best). Once it’s pulled down, there’s little to no space left. There’s no desk, which in today’s world feels like a BIG oversight, if not outright shameful—especially at this price point. Not even a chair to sit in. You ARE either in your bed or standing. If you travel with more than a small carry-on, one bag ends up wedged next to the bed.

Lighting? No individual bedside lamps, just general overhead lighting that doesn’t create any kind of relaxing or practical environment. It’s clear that form was chosen over function here.

The bathroom does have a great shower, and I’ll give credit where it’s due there. But again, no counter space! Nowhere to set a toiletry bag. The minimalist sink may look nice in photos, but it’s frustrating to use in real life.

Bottom line—The St.

St Laurent is the place to stay

The St. Laurent is a lovely boutique hotel. It is ideal for self-service style stays. There is a cupboard in the hallway accessible for guests with additional towels and toiletries - which is nice b/c you do not have to wait for someone to bring them to you. The restaruant on site was amazing and food delicious. The bar / lounge area was very comfortable and had a nice vibe. I will say that this hotel does not have an elevator so be prepared to walk up stairs (three levels max).

Under different circumstances this property would have been fine. We didn't realize the circumstances when we booked. We are a 90 year old couple who came to Asbury Park for granddaughter's wedding. The wedding began around 3:00 so we couldn't check in and it was 10:30 pm before we arrived to check in after driving around the block to find a parking space. Fortunately we didn't have too much luggage but then we had to carry everything up the steps. Thank goodness our daughter had a room on the 2nd floor which she traded for our room on the 3rd floor. We are used to having a complimentary breakfast at our hotel which was not presented at the St. Laurent. And I don't even want to talk about the ridiculous price.

They’ve thought of everything. Enough loungers & umbrellas for all of their guests by the pool. Beach chairs & badges for the quick walk to the beach. A quick walk to tons of restaurants made for a fabulous night!
