We stay at this hotel every year when we vacation in Ocean City, but this year was disappointing. The staff were unfriendly, there were no longer free bikes available for guests, the pizza place has closed, and our room was outdated and seemed like it had only received a quick fix. Our balcony door would only latch if we used the bolt lock on the door. I'm really disappointed with our trip this time. Additionally, the indoor pool needs some tender loving care.

The property was a good value for the money. I didn’t like that you charge for parking. This was my 15th trip to OC but 1st with you and have never paid for parking. I felt like it was a money grab and really wasn’t happy about it

I always take into consideration that the old hotels on the boardwalk will have some undesirable things but I attempt to look the other way to enjoy the conveniences being in the beach and boardwalk. However, the mold and mildew odor was very unpleasant AND we even had blothches of it on our ceiling. Other family members rooms did not have the ceiling issue, but certainly had the odor. The staff were pleasant and the pool was nice.

Our complaint is the uncomfortable beds and dirty floors in our suite. They had been swept but obviously not mopped down. The best part is being right on the boardwalk and walkable to food, beach and entertainment.

They modified our room last minute bec they overbooked. Then they put us in a cheaper room full of molds and was so filthy. Front desk threatened us that if we don’t take the room they’re giving us they’ll just full refund us and let us find a different hotel. Mind you this was on a weekend and peak season. They could’ve at least called us prior so we could’ve made arrangements.

Nice restaurant on lower level, wish they stayed open longer. Pool was nice but could've been bigger. First day, pool bar was closed. Other days it was open, but didn't have many serving options. Free coffee in the morning was a plus. Great location! Overall, very happy with our stay, and will be returning!
