Hotel was overbooked so we didn't get our room. We were polite and left without incident, and made other arrangements. However, we were still billed for the room and it has been impossible to get any response from Babbling Brook Inn about this despite numerous phone calls (always to voice mail) and messages left on their website support form. At this point it is starting to feel like an intentional scam. I would avoid this property, it is not being managed by honest individuals and you are inviting serious headaches if you make a reservation here.

Cute little place, great location off the beaten path but still close to downtown and boardwalk. Could use some updates but overall clean and fairly comfortable. Sweet view of the babbling brook from the little balcony, makes you feel like you’re in the woods.

Beautiful setting, a bit different to all the usual hotels and motels that you find. Huge room with all the required amenities. Could wander in to town. Loved our stay there.

A quiet, rustic setting, yet right in the core of the city. Lots of stairs, if that's an issue. I would stay there again.

The property itself is unique. It is a bit rundown. With some updating it could be really nice. The room smelled musky. The bed was terrible. My husband and I fell into the middle of the bed. Also, the shower was unique and it was challenging how to turn it on.
