Recent Reviews in Ocean City

Grand Hotel Ocean City Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent

"Nice property the children really enjoyed the amenities."

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Ocean City Oceanfront

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and staff were super helpful and friendly. Room was a bit small and bathroom was no bigger than closet, but it was stocked well. Biggest complaint was that housekeeping skipped our room every single day even though we were out of the room by 10 am. Instead we would get a call or text from the hotel later in the day asking if we needed anything. I appreciated them checking with us, but it would have been nicer to just have the room ready. Pool was decent, beach towels available poolside. Parking lot was not big enough for number of spaces especially when people had bike carriers or trailer hitches. Overall stay was great."

Princess Royale Oceanfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Princess Royal is like a resort property rather than a standard hotel. The rooms are like a condominium equiped with a refridgerator, a range and standard kitchen appliances. Princess Royal is great for family vacation. Whenever we decide to visit Ocean City, MD, we will definitely seek Princess Royal as our vacation stay."

When is the best time to go to Ocean City?

The best time to visit Ocean City is during the shoulder seasons of late spring (May to early June) and early autumn (September to early October).During these times, you'll find the weather pleasantly warm, superb for strolls along the beach or exploring the boardwalk without the intense heat and crowds of mid-summer. Many of the attractions, shops, and restaurants are fully operational, but the atmosphere is more relaxed, and you'll often find better value on accommodation.For families, late May and early June are particularly good. The ocean temperatures are starting to warm up for swimming, and most family-friendly activities like mini-golf and amusement parks are open. You can enjoy the full Ocean City experience before the peak season rush.Couples looking for a more peaceful getaway might prefer early September. The summer crowds have thinned, the ocean is still warm from the summer sun, and there's a pleasant, laid-back vibe.
