"Best beach hotel"

10.0

We loved the dream inn because of the location, rooms and food. Also the reservation staff was very helpful as well as the valet and front desk employees as well. I loved the mid century vibe of the hotel. The kids loved the deck on the room.

""Surfin' USA"!"

10.0

Love the Dream Inn as I have been going there since 1969. The atmosphere is "Surfin' USA" all the way, but the view is what keeps us coming back. Love listening to the ocean and watching the waves, the boats, the pier, the beach goers and the Boardwalk. Rooms are nice but could probably use a "refresh", however very clean and functional. No noise, but we travel with a mini Dohm - white noise machine- so we block out most hotel sounds. Service was amazing - all requests taken care of with speed. Coffee shop in lobby was excellent - Verve. Breakfast at Jack's was delicious but slow service. We will be back next year!

"Spring Break with the Family."

10.0

Enjoyed the stay with young family. We liked the location next to the beach and close enough to walk to the boardwalk. We'll be next time.

"A dream stay at the Dream Inn"

8.0

The hotel has amazing views of the Monterray bay. All of the rooms have balconies directly facing the ocean. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Maz behind the front desk and Henry as valet and Bell hop were great. Friendy, kind, helpfull, and knowledgeable, they made our stay extra enjoyable. Room service prices are the same as the restaurant, with a small delivery fee. Thank you for making it so. Our room had a banquette and table which made eating in the room a pleasure. Housekeeping was hard to find and they skipped our room 3 times.
