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!

This hotel is in a great location. It’s clean and comfortable. On site parking. I felt price was a little high. Not on the beach and some small repairs but beach is close and walkable, no major issues! I will stay again.
