I LOVED my stay. The family suite was even better than the pictures. What a gem of a place. The staff (Kamur and Chuck especially) were kind and helpful. They both went out of their way for me. I can’t say enough about this place or the staff… i was so sad to leave!

Amazing! From check in to check out not a single complaint!!! Super friendly staff. Gave my little guy a welcome gift upon arrival. Older building BUT super clean, updated room. Lots of pillows (which never happens). Actual water pressure! First hotel stay that I actually walked barefoot in the room, that’s how spotless the rooms were. Offered a discount to extend our stay a day, wish we could have. Board walk was right up the street. Everything was within walking distance, we never needed to move the car the entire stay. Top Notch Place!

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!
