Needs improvement
I found the room to be very misleading. It is a very old hotel that has not been kept up. I had no signal for TV. There was also a very musky smell in the room. I think it was very overpriced to be over two hundred dollarak

We never got to stay at the hotel we booked the hotel on the appofhotel.com for July 26. We showed up waiting to check in and they said they didn’t have a reservation. I then share my confirmation from hotel.com. They said they were all booked for that date.

Blue at Blue Water Inn
AC did not work properly--barely cooled room enough to sleep. Toilet tended to backup with slow water flow--several flushes needed. We did get clean towels as needed--apparently there was a minimal room service. Floors were clean. Frig and microwave worked. Several electric outlets were nonfunctional. Not at all as depicted in online materials.

You get what you pay for
Because of the low cost, there were pretty much mostly teens and young adults that were drunk and high and very noisy until after 2:00am. The parking situation is quite odd as you have 1 long parking spot that 2 cars fit in, so if someone parks behind you, you have to hope they left their keys with the front desk or that they can be reached if you have to get your car out. The pool was nice and relaxing. It is a very old building, that while the charm from that is cool, it badly needs to be updated.

My Dad and I visit OCNJ every year and we absolutely loved the Blue Water Inn, the staff are so nice, Nancy is always so helpful. This property is a treasure, from the great patio to people watch and enjoy a cold beverage to the cleanliness of the rooms. The location is perfect! Short walk to the boardwalk/beach and short walk to shops and dining. We will definitely be staying here again next year!

Staff friendly but hotel was terrible
The hotel was very rundown, the toilet had stains inside, the bathroom floor had stains, the blinds were broken, the bathroom curtain was not hanging properly. See pics.
The staff was actually very friendly and nice!
