Howard Johnson by Wyndham Ocean City Oceanfront

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Ocean City Oceanfront

8/10 Good
"Overall, a positive experience. However, this is an older property without sound protection between floors or walls. Therefore, you could possibly hear footsteps above you on a lower floor. Or a louder neighbor or their pet. Next time, I would book the top floor and request the end."
