Holiday Inn & Suites Ocean City by IHG

Downtown Ocean City

10/10 Excellent

Absolutely no complaints about our stay. Allowed an early time to check in and a hour late check out. Quiet place right on the boardwalk far enough away from public parking that it wasn’t crowded. If there is any complaint it would be minimum parking to where the overflow parking gets completely full that we were lucky to even get a spot in there. I wouldn’t even call that a complaint, just find your spot and that’s that. Balcony was spacious for us to play card games late night with 6-8 people....

Aloft was a great 2 day getaway for our family. You walk in and right off the bat it just has a cool vibe, you forget you’re in a hotel and feel more like a resort. The pool was great for the kids, and the bar there made some great drinks. There is a private beach next to pool to kayak in the bay or paddle board. The rooms were clean, comfortable, the balcony overlooking the bay provided a great view. The shuttle service from the hotel to beach was so convenient, and the worry of trying to find...
