Perfect location! Very clean! Beds were very comfortable too! The pool was small, shallow and dirty. No one was swimming in it so not sure if it was officially open.
Great price for the location compared to nearby competitors. Great location right on the boardwalk and beach. Room was clean and smells good. This was our 2nd time staying here, would highly recommend!
Great beach views and easy parking. This hotel is within walking distance to many restaurants and bars. The front desk staff were very nice and welcoming.

Outdated and shabby. Pull out bed is very uncomfortable but the main beds were ok. It’s right in the prime location of boardwalk. Right on beach. Nice staff. Not bad for a place to stay but not for long term or multiple days.

Hotel a little dated. Sliding door to balcony didn’t even lock and there was a gap with wing blowing in (hard). Restaurant bar was closed. Checked coffee in the lobby a few seperate times and it wasn’t stocked or was cold. Staff was astounding helpful pleasant
The room was clean and the staff was great. It could use a bit of maintenance/updating but overall it was very good. We booked the standard room with queen beds/city view. The balcony we had was on the side so we had views the ocean, the city, and the bay on the other side of the island. The location was great as it was right on the boardwalk. We didnt use any amenities so can't comment on that and the on-site restaurant was closed for renovation. We would definately go back. Dont have pics of room inside but do have of view.
Staff were very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The complimentary coffee and tea in the lobby were convenient, as was the adjoining Sunsations store, which offered a 10% discount to those who were staying in the hotel. The gentleman in the Sunsations store was so sweet and one could tell he really enjoyed his job. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and the beach view was really nice. Our room was clean, but the bathroom could use some updating (there was a tile missing on the wall). The sliding door to our balcony was broken. Staff were very attentive in looking at this, although they were sent the wrong piece to fix it. We did have a bar that also kept the door in place for safety. Parking was convenient and without issues. We would stay here again, as we also liked the location of it on the boardwalk.
Beautiful and spacious room with an amazing view of the ocean.
But I really didn’t like the $15 parking charge when there is plenty of free parking spots next block. We stayed there off season. If I didn’t just spend 4 hours in the car with whining kids, I wouldn’t pay but they caught me off guard. Not fair parking policy in my opinion
The room wasn’t dirty but everything was broken. The heat did not work, the doorknobs were falling off, the balcony door did not lock, there was a big TV mount on the wall with no TV on it, the mini fridge froze and exploded all our drinks, etc.
The staff were really talkative and kind, the beach view was partial obstructed as described but was absolutely fine! Parking was easy but they didn’t even ask if we wanted parking, they just automatically charged us for it and gave us a windshield tag.
We had a fantastic stay here! We were very pleased, hot showers, clean & perfect location for board walk, walking & beaching it.
This is our second year staying here & will be back.
Was a nice place to stay reasonable pricing and right on the boardwalk portion of Ocean City Maryland - close to all the stores and activities - walking distance to almost anything you will need.
