From the reviews

One of the nicest places to stay on Long Beach Island. The staff are incredibly kind and attentive. The rooms are generously sized and well appointed. Our double queen room had a large kitchenette capable of comfortably serving the needs of four people. Parking is conveniently located in a garage underneath the hotel.

★★★★★ — Nathaniel, Mar 2026

we met up with friends for a pre Christmas celebration. We went to the theater on LBI (saw Elf the Musical - very, very good). We dined out at two restaurants on the island (Tucker's and Azzuri -both were great and highly recommend). The hotel was just beautiful and warm and so so comfortable. Staff was friendly.

★★★★★ — Michael, Dec 2025

We booked Hotel LBI for our rehearsal dinner and have nothing but good things to say. The team was very accommodating with all of our requests, actual set up on the day of was very easy and the staff were all very kind and helpful.

Getting married at Hotel LBI

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
