Staff was extremely friendly anything we needed we were given immediately we were poolside which was perfect five steps out of our door into the pool area 🙂 no complaints great vacation!!
Our room was very clean; the staff was very friendly and helpful, the parking is a little tight, but that isn't uncommon for Ocean City. The room was beautiful and you couldn't beat the ocean front view, absolutely stunning. The room stayed cool, which was great for how hot it was outside. We will be staying there again in the future.

For what was paid I did expect a little bit more out of the room. It smelled like mildew, very outdated, carpet and bedding, and everything. The location is great, but everything else is definitely needing some attention. The staff in the front was amazing. I will say that check in and check out was great.
The room that we rented was directly under the cafe which was convenient. The room itself was kept really nice and everything that was included came in clutch. Beds were fine and clean. AC was running so well, kept it cool in the room. Overall, a good experience! Will def be coming back.
I booked an end of the summer vacation with me in my two kids. I booked two separate rooms because my daughters brought their friends. And I would say, both my rooms were exceptionally clean. The staff was very, very friendly and it was close to the boardwalk. Easy access. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone? And I will be staying here my next vacation. Thank you so much for making my vacation relaxing. Only downside was when I stayed. The ice machine was not working
The room was neat and clean. We had 1 issue where sink was clogged, notified front desk on our way to breakfast and by the time we returned it was fixed. Will definitely stay here again

The room was nice, clean but the bathroom was way to small and the sink inside the door was weird, not where it should be. Access to beach was great.
Hotel is older but no issues pool trash cld have been cleaned up daily but then again stayers should have cleaned up their own trash perfect location for the beach
The staff was very accommodating. When a third floor accommodation was not suitable due to my physical limitations with stairs, we were relocated to a first floor room with no stairs.
The room was very spacious and clean. I was impressed by the air conditioning unit and its ability to keep our room nice and cold during a hot week. Staff was willing to help even though i had little interaction with the main desk, the housekeeper was very sweet and got things done fast. Parking was easy and overall id definitely stay here again.
The WiFi was awful, ice machine was broken . There were piss stains on the mattress. The people were very nice.

Parking was good. Room was clean. AC worked well. Check in was a bit rough my room was not ready at 4pm waited 20 mins pass 4 pm and then left and came back a little after 5 pm and it was ready at that time.
Room was clean with 0 odors. Comfortable pillows and beds, I will return if the price is right. Coffee in the reception office was good. Also breakfast in their onsite restaurant was very good and reasonably priced
