Top Downtown Ocean City Hotel Reviews

Monte Carlo Boardwalk Oceanfront Ocean City

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location on the boardwalk. Hotel feels “new. The balconies were large with privacy division from the adjacent rooms. Corner oceanfront rooms offer seeeping views."

Majestic Hotel & Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"An underrated classic with real history and soul. A stay at The Majestic feels like stepping into a piece of boardwalk history. It is definitely a faded gem and it wears its years openly, but it offers a warmth, nostalgia, and charm that newer high-rises completely lack. With the hotels new ownership, I am hoping the much-needed property updates are forthcoming without spoiling the charm. In my experience, the off-season on the boardwalk is the best time to stay. The summertime crowds give way to solitude, turning the oceanfront porch into a private viewing terrace. Sitting out there before town wakes up, watching the vivid colors of the sunrise reflect across the Atlantic and over the deserted boardwalk planks, was worth the trip alone. You get a direct, ocean view and sound of waves without the crowds. Keep your expectations grounded: it is historic and has quirks. If you appreciate timeless coastal architecture, peaceful mornings, and an underrated historic atmosphere then the Majestic delivers an authentic, memorable stay."
