The ad

We are having a horrible stay here at the melrose b&b. We are very disappointed by the room. The bed is uncomfortable and sloping towards the head. The linen has strong odor of cleaner like it was dried with laundry detergent on. The a/c heater thermostat doesn't work, so the room will reach 100 degrees if not manually turned off. So all night every 20 had to turn on and off manually to avoid freezing or suffocating (it is below freezing outside). We were not given our key code to enter the property even though I signed the contract. I had to enter following another guest, who also gave me the emergency number to call to get the room code. The room has motion sensor light, so if you move, the lights come on and kill your sleep. Although your dad is nice (property care taker) and helpful, it doesn't change the fact we suffered here in Melrose tonight. No sleep. Although policy states no refund, I demand one based on the fact we couldn't enjoy what we paid for.

Clean and comfortable. Free coffee is a great touch. Easy check-in/check-out. Reasonable price.

Pillows were a little small but no big deal

The location was perfect and parking was good.

Issues with the front door accepting my code. Extremely frustrating. It was noisy. I heard creaking and walking all night. At some points I heard someone’s tv.

Convenient & spotless!

No customer service.

Charming inn in an old house.

It's minor, but the stairs out front are quite steep.

The location is great. Walk to Asbury Park and the beach is a block away.

The only thing I didn’t like was my private bath was across the hallway. Good thing no one else was in the hallway when I snuck back into my room after a shower wearing my towel.

It was very clean and the close proximity to the beach was nice. The price was very reasonable.

You could hear conversation and music from the other rooms and hallway. The lock system and contactless check-in were awkward.
