So here's the deal. As u/N0_ThisIsPATRICK mentioned, there's four proper hotels (I'm trying to find the fifth, but I can't think about it or can't find it) in Asbury. The Empress, The Asbury, The Asbury Ocean club, and The St. Laurent.

The Ocean Club and The Empress are gonna be the closest hotels to the Pony. The Empress is the closet and you can watch and hear the show depending on your room is. For reference, here's a street view of The Empress looking toward the pony. You can see the Ocean club in the distance, but you won't really be able to hear the concert that well from it and it's pretty expensive. The Empress is strictly 21+ due to the fact that it's a very gay friendly hotel.

I know that during the summer the roof bar is opened during the summer and they have a DJ that runs till 1 at The Asbury, so it might not be a good idea if you're bringing your kiddo. Not too sure about the St. Laurent since it's still new, but it might be better since it's in the middle of a residential neighborhood. Might be a little pricey during the summer though.

The Berkeley is the fifth one you're missing. :) I forget about it too sometimes.

I should have mentioned the rooftop bar at The Asbury Hotel. That could be noisy, but prob not as noisy as the Summer Stage.

I've heard some stories where people have gone in to go to bed and they were pretty much up until the stopped. It's the only the upper floors that have that problem.

Technically the Summer Stage can only play as late as 10:30 pm but any shows I’ve been to or happened upon while at the boardwalk have ended by 10 pm.

Thank you for the breakdown and what to expect from those places.
