The Blue Bay Inn is a quaint Hotel and very well situated with surrounding restaurants within walking distances. The rooms are spacious, but as well as the Hallways, they need updating. Their is a smell of mustiness as soon as you step out of the elevator to walk to your room. The bathrooms also need to be updated, and definitely better towels would be a plus. The staff is overall helpful, but didn’t seem to friendly. The Housekeeping was not up to par. Sometimes our bed was not made, or if it made it looked like a teenager did it in a hurry. It is all in the details.

Perfectly placed at Atlantic Highlands on the Jersey Shore, this boutique hotel is small and friendly and allows you to easily access nearby towns, the beach, New York by ferry or just enjoy the local atmosphere. Good restaurants and bars nearby including the excellent Copper Canyon.

Beautiful, modern, and clean boutique hotel in a great location (close to Route 36, Sandy Hook, and walking distance to coffee, bar and restaurant options). The price for the room was well worth it based on the amenities and having parking included in the nearby lot. The highlight of our stay was how genuinely kind and caring the all the staff seemed to be about making us comfortable. I highly recommend staying here!

Located in a great shore town close to Sandy Hook beach. The room we were in 215 you weee not able to lower the air conditioner, manager looked at it and turned it off (90’ outside). We had to turn on and off all night. For $300 a night we expected better service. Other than that it was nice.

Good evening Bob, Please forgive me! I went in and turned it off intending to go back and restart. I literally forgot with all that was going on and heat exhausted myself. Ugh. I hope you were able to turn it back on and reach comfort level desired. My front desk did not tell me if you called on them again. Again I sincerely apologize. Sincerely Angela Schettino teevan Gm

I loved the fact that we had an actual key to our room! The rooms were beautifully renovated and very clean! The staff were super sweet and very nice! My only "complaint " is that my husband is 6'4 and the bed was short so a good portion of his leg hung off the bed. But the bed was quite comfortable to sleep on! We will definitely stay here again if we are ever in the area!
