It's hard to write this one because I wanted The Mayfair to be better than it is. The Mayfair is this really charming hotel, perfectly located right across from the boardwalk at 10th Ave in Belmar. It was built in the 1920's. From the outside it looks like a gigantic east coast wood-sided porched house. Inside it possesses a nostalgic beach hotel elegance with its grand staircase and high tin ceilings. The lobby rooms are large and sunny with many many plants and comfortable rocking chairs. Once there was a dance floor and restaurant...it must have been quite a place. Actually, I think the place is fine for couples without kids.

As a family we found The Mayfair fairly inconvenient and run down. The toilet area was carpeted, not too recently either. One of our double beds was sagging and uncomfortable. There is a kitchen downstairs but it had some fast crawly friends whose names I won't mention. Also, the worst part (for me) was that they don't make any coffee. Come on! Even the cheapest hotel should offer good coffee to it's guests. Being able to quickly grab a cup first thing in the morning without worrying about leaving the kids for 10 minutes while you brew it yourself or walk to 7-Eleven can make the difference between a good and a bad day.

So, listen close Mayfair Hotel:

1. fresh coffee at all times
2. lose that toilet carpet
3. check for sagging mattresses

And I'll take this all back.
