It’s a little bit overpriced of what they offer but the place is close to the to the beach. It’s easy parking. We always stay there every summer.

We’ve stayed here before and we’re super happy, but they’ve let it go. Dirty carpets in the room, smeared hand prints on the entry door, carpet frayed so bad the tacks hurt you if you step on them. The balcony area had fresh mustard tracked all through the area. I alerted the hotel and it was still there 4 days later including on the carpeted area. The best features about the hotel are the pool & the upper outside decks. The rooftop deck with fire pit was great on a chilly night. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. Housekeep did a wonderful job. It just needs some TLC.

The Forum is an updated, family friendly motel in OCNJ. The front desk was friendly, and I appreciated the easy check in. The bathroom is modern and spacious. Parking is fine, and easy walk to the beach. I love that they have an outdoor shower to rinse off sand. I would stay here again!

I was pleasantly surprised with this property. Typically shore hotels/motels are outdated and worn but not this property. It has obviously been remodeled very recently. The room looked like it was brand new, it actually smelled of bleach when we walked in so I knew it was clean. The beds were very comfortable with good linens. There are no extras really, lobby is just for checking in- staff was very friendly, location was GREAT! Close to everything. It was very convenient to walk back and forth to the boardwalk. I would definitely return. What this place may lack in amenities it makes up for in cleanliness. It gets the job done.

This hotel is in a great location. It’s clean and comfortable. On site parking. I felt price was a little high. Not on the beach and some small repairs but beach is close and walkable, no major issues! I will stay again.
