Reply to Asbury Park Hotel Recommendation by Steinbe3

So here's the deal. As u/N0_ThisIsPATRICK mentioned, there's four proper hotels (I'm trying to find the fifth, but I can't think about it or can't find it) in Asbury. The Empress, The Asbury, The Asbury Ocean club, and The St. Laurent.

The Ocean Club and The Empress are gonna be the closest hotels to the Pony. The Empress is the closet and you can watch and hear the show depending on your room is. For reference, here's a street view of The Empress looking toward the pony. You can see the Ocean club in the distance, but you won't really be able to hear the concert that well from it and it's pretty expensive. The Empress is strictly 21+ due to the fact that it's a very gay friendly hotel.

I know that during the summer the roof bar is opened during the summer and they have a DJ that runs till 1 at The Asbury, so it might not be a good idea if you're bringing your kiddo. Not too sure about the St. Laurent since it's still new, but it might be better since it's in the middle of a residential neighborhood. Might be a little pricey during the summer though.

There are basically 5 hotels in Asbury Park proper.

The Empress Hotel and Asbury Ocean club are practically next to the Stone Pony so they are probably not a good bet for you, on top of the Ocean Club being very pricey.

For reference, I can sometimes faintly hear the Stone Pony Summer Stage from my home 12 blocks away.

All of the hotels are closer than that, but you'll probably be better off at the Berkeley or The Asbury Hotel, or even the St. Laurent (a smaller boutique hotel). If you're staying at the Asbury or the Berkeley, you might be able to request a room that faces North which would also help a lot.

Edited to add: There are several small hotels or Bed and Breakfasts in Ocean Grove which would still be walkable to pretty much any destination in Asbury Park, but I'm not sure how they are with kids.
