Room was great, really loved everything. Was updated, new, clean, and very spacious. Was happy there were some food options to purchase in the lobby
Staff each day was welcoming and very helpful. It was very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend this location. Pricier than other hotels for sure but given my experience staying there worth every penny.

Seasonal guide to help you plan the perfect trip to in Lakewood
Summer
Summer (June–August) and major Jewish holiday weeks (notably late Summer/Early Fall and Spring holiday weeks).
Late Fall through early Spring (November–March) excluding holiday weeks; mid-week stays in these months offer the best prices.
March–May: Temperatures moderate as the area thaws after winter. Early spring can still be cool and sometimes rainy; late spring brings warmer beach-adjacent days and fewer crowds than summer.
Minor-league baseball season and family-friendly games held at FirstEnergy Park attract locals and visitors for evening games, theme nights, and fireworks.
Lakewood has a large Orthodox Jewish community and several prominent yeshivas; holiday periods (especially Passover in Spring and the High Holidays in Fall) and yeshiva commencement or vacation weeks see increased visitors and activity.
While many large shore festivals take place in neighboring beach towns, Lakewood serves as a convenient base for July 4th fireworks, summer seafood festivals, and beach events along the Jersey Shore.
Lakewood has warm, humid summers and cold winters with occasional snow. Pack layered clothing year-round: a light jacket for spring/fall evenings; breathable, cooling fabrics and sun protection for summer; warm coats, boots, and a weatherproof layer for winter storms. Check local forecasts before travel—winter storms and coastal heat waves can affect plans.
Lakewood hotel and rental prices are influenced by proximity to the Jersey Shore, seasonal beach traffic, and the large Orthodox Jewish community. Expect higher rates on summer weekends (June–August) due to beachgoers and nearby shore events. Prices also spike around major Jewish holidays (notably Rosh Hashanah/Yom Kippur in the Fall and Passover in the Spring) when families travel to visit relatives, attend services, or use local accommodations. Weekdays outside peak holiday periods and off-season months (late fall through early spring, excluding holiday weeks) offer better value. Large local events — minor-league baseball games at FirstEnergy Park, town festivals, and long holiday weekends — can push up short-term demand. Mid-range hotels (3-star) and budget options fill quickly during these peaks, while higher-end properties remain limited but pricier when available.
Insider advice to help you make the most of your visit
Driving is the most flexible way to get around Lakewood and the surrounding Jersey Shore; public transit options exist but are limited for some destinations.
Book early if visiting during summer weekends or major Jewish holidays; consider staying a little inland in Lakewood for better rates while driving to nearby shore towns for daytime beach visits. Use BlueClaws game schedules to plan family-friendly summer evenings and look for weekday hotel deals in spring and fall.
