The hotel is a converted early-twentieth-century building whose restored exterior maintains its period character while the interior provides contemporary rooms in Standard, Deluxe, and Suite configurations.

The hotel's 7th Avenue location places it within walking distance of Cookman Avenue — the city's primary retail and restaurant corridor — and the Asbury Park Convention Hall complex, which hosts concerts and events throughout the year. Dining at the hotel centers on a bar serving local craft beers, New Jersey wines, and cocktails in a relaxed setting. The surrounding Asbury Park dining scene is substantial, with acclaimed restaurants offering farm-to-table menus, seafood, and international cuisine within blocks of the property. The hotel's staff are knowledgeable about local music venues, gallery openings, and seasonal boardwalk events.
