"Our Stay"
Overall Score5.0/5
We enjoyed the pleasant front desk clerk, she was very nice. Our room was large and clean. The Ocean front view was more than we expected. Beautiful sunrise! Thank you 12 20 19.

This wouldn't have been a terrible hotel if not for a couple issues. It was pretty clean, great location on the boardwalk and a warm indoor pool. However the ppl that checked us in weren't overly friendly or welcoming-not usually something I care too much about on its own-but when we later discovered that the AC in our room wasn't working right, they didnt seem to care at all. We stayed only 2 nights which is good bc it was definitely cooler outside than inside. We also got stuck with cold showers and baths most times, which maybe wasn't terrible given the heat and mugginess in the room! The restaurant in the hotel was priced decently for boardwalk food, but they over cooked my toddlers chicken tenders and over oiled and over cooked pita for dip...the salad would have been tasty, just WAY too much dressing. We like OCM, but won't be staying again. Not worth how much we paid.

Visited this hotel after we were moved from another Howard Johnson that wasnt open due to Covid. Arrived at 2:30 with scheduled check in at 3. Seemed that most rooms weren't ready. When we finally got our room at 3:45 nobody let us know, luckily my wife waited in line and asked at the desk. As we got off the elevator, I got a contact high. We entered our room and it smelled like and ashtray. There are no smoking signs everywhere. When my wife asked them to spray our room the woman had the "I knew it" face. Not sure if they ever sprayed our room. Only spoke to 1 person the entire 3 night stay and that was the desk calling to get a credit card number for incidentals at 10 o'clock at night. There Covid signs say linens and extra trash bags would be supplied since there was no housekeeping for multiple night stays. Balcony has paint peeling badly, thankfully we didnt have children with us. Only 1 ice machine and it's in the ground floor, we were on the 7th floor. We wouldn't stay there again. Many nicer places in OCMD. Only positive was it's on the boardwalk and the beach.

We have stayed here several times and it is my favorite boardwalk hotel. Nice rooms, mini refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, on-site restaurant, small bar, nice lobby, indoor pool, easy free parking, good location a bit north of the heavy crowds at the inlet. Great off season rates. I love this hotel!

I have stayed at this property for the past 7 years at various times of the year. I have NEVER had an unpleasant experience here. The staff is friendly and accommodating and easily make you feel right at home. The General Manager Ashley Foreman is wonderful. I recommend this property to all of my friends and anyone looking for a place to stay in Ocean City, MD.
