Great location for a visit to OCNJ! Easy check-in, clean, remodeled and comfortable room, friendly staff, and a nice pool. Very family friendly and an easy walk to the boardwalk, beach, bike rentals and other shops. We only stayed one night so weren't able to enjoy all the amenities but we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend The Forum for anyone needing a motel/hotel style accommodation down the shore!
