In pretty good shape for her age, the venerable Empress is centrally located for beach and boardwalk. Catering to the LGBTQ communities this is a great place to stay for fun day and night. But don’t go for a peaceful nights sleep… when Paradise nightclub is open the entire building vibrates — literally!
I was expecting it to be loud with the club attached but I didn't hear it at all. Very convenient location as I was seeing a show at the Stone Pony. Easy check in/out. Friendly staff. Bed was hard as a rock and very low to the ground but I would still stay here again when in Asbury.
The Empress Hotel is a great spot and I would highly recommend to anyone. I had a small issue with the sink faucet in the bathroom but management took care of it right away. Paradise, the night club, is a lot of fun. Can't wait to come back!
loved everything from the amazing staff to the fantastic atmosphere and the bumpin night life

Upon booking, there was no information provided that described how loud it would begin the rooms. We were all the way on the third floor, but could hear the music from the club vibrating the walls. The room next to us also could be heard too easily even over the music which made the whole experience so unbearable to sleep that we left at midnight to drive home because it was impossible to sleep.
The Empress is my favorite place to stay in Asbury. The staff are some of the friendliest people in town and the rooms are great. Definitely 5 star in my book : )
