"This is probably the best location in Ocean City Md. Very clean & nice building layout; but, in dire need of old equipment replacement. Also, there is no bathroom/changing area directly connected to the pool area. The pool (thankfully) was available. Unfortunately, front desk can only refer you to a tiny public restroom on the side street; while waiting for your room to be ready. The hotel was full and the rate very high….why no updating???"
