“Owners on Strike”

Manchester Inn Bed and Breakfast

Jul 11, 2007
3/3 found this review helpful

I think that the owners are on strike and have not told their guests. Not exhibiting particular interest in the guests or the cleanliness of the establishment, the two proprietors (especially the wife) sit around while guests assist each other. The common areas are cluttered, untidy and dirty. The rooms are pieced together with tattered pieces. Ashtrays overflow, papers sit out all night, Monday breakfast is Sunday’s leftovers (day old eggs!), breakfast tables are not bussed.

It appears that running an inn might have seemed like a good idea at the time but lack of social skills, inability to maintain an orderly atmosphere and general disinterest in the business make this a Jersey Shore equivalent to the Bates Motel.

“Standing ovation for the Manhester Inn and staff”

Manchester Inn Bed and Breakfast

5 of 5 stars
Manalapan, NJ
Apr 29, 2007
2/2 found this review helpful

As Social Chairperson of the Central Jersey Tall Friends Club I needed to find a facility to accommodate a fundraising dinner/dance event. Other tall clubs are invited, so hotel accomadations are often helpful at the facility. A friend suggested I look at the Manchester Inn. We felt it was a perfect match the first time we came to visit in January. The event was booked for April 28th. 41 folks had a fabulous dinner, 20 of us stayed over and experienced the exceptional breakfast. Chef Bill got raves all around. Clark and the rest of the Inn staff were fun as well as accommodating. The rooms are adorable and clean. The entire Inn is charming. We had a very successful event, and attendees are already looking forward to next year at the Manchester Inn.

“Very nice Bed and Breakfast for families”

Manchester Inn Bed and Breakfast

Jun 26, 2006
1/1 found this review helpful

We have a great weekend getaway on June 23 to 25. Ocean Grove is a great beach town with wide clean beach and great restaurant. We have room 101 which is on the first floor on the side of the building. It is a family room with one king bed and a twin bed, with private bath. The room has very easy access to the front porch which is fantastic. Manchester Inn also has another porch on the upper floors and many other room options. Some room has private porch. The breakfast is good and the service is great throughout our stay. This is the first time we have stay at a bed and breakfast and it take getting use to the idea. The beach is one block away and Main Avenue with great food choices are three blocks away. We ate at the Captain Jack Restaurant everyday. The food and deco is great. All other Jersey shore amusements are a short, easy drive away.

“Great Stay, Clean, freindly, well maintained. A definite A+”

Manchester Inn Bed and Breakfast

Jun 21, 2006
4/4 found this review helpful

I read the reviews and was glad that I choose the manchester for my family and I. My room was on the side of the building with a king bed and shower/ bath. It looks like they have just completed renovating it. We weer there with several othe rfamily members. The Breakfast was great, the front porch was wonderful to sit and rock on. I love the ocean smells. I would definitely come back.

“I come here every other month and love it!”

Manchester Inn Bed and Breakfast

Feb 16, 2006
4/4 found this review helpful

I travel here to consult at an area hospital. I love the Manchester and they have always been cordial and accomodating. Several times I have had to leave early and they put out a continental breakfast for me, although I try and start my day later so I can have a hot breakfast.

I have stayed in a variety of rooms from smaller quiant rooms to larger rooms with a porch. I always ask for the best they have available and they often upgrade me.

I love Bed and Breakfasts and enjoy the Manchester Inn.
