The room is large and was clean. We enjoyed the pool. Easy walk to the beach. Staff was helpful. Not too bad to park - just hope other guests leave their keys if they park you in. Would love to have better blackout curtains but seems like a minor issue. We would stay here again.

We loved it was close walking to the beach. The "motel" was old, and outdated for the price. The pictures made it look much better than it was. Thankfully, we were only there for 2 nights.

We were in town just one night and just needed somewhere simple to stay. This was so perfect! Room was well kept, clean, with a beautiful shower. We will definitely be back next time we are in town.

The deluxe heated pool was not heated at all. When informed of this the staff was no help. https://www.theforumocnj.com/hotel-amenities No heated pool. It was the whole reason we booked there.

We have stayed at the Forum before and stayed again because of it's cleanliness. It was equally clean this time. The rooms have been renovated and are very nice. The only problem is that when they renovated - they did not have the window curtain cover the window completely. There is a 10 inch gap where the light from the balcony comes in at night right on the pillow all night. At 6:00am the sun pours right onto the pillow. At the other side of the window there is a gap of about 6 inches where anyone walking by can see in - not good if you want to get changed in privacy.

Old motel superficially redone with no electricity to one side of the room. Too expensive for poor quality.

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!
