This hotel is in a great location. It’s clean and comfortable. On site parking. I felt price was a little high. Not on the beach and some small repairs but beach is close and walkable, no major issues! I will stay again.

For our first time staying over in Ocean City it was fantastic. Everything from the start of the booking and going in to get the keys to our room went great. Questions were answered quick and straight to the point. Liked the staff as well. Rooms were clean and everything was organized.

The property was great and everyone that worked there was very accommodating for anything that we needed. But the listing is for a room that sleeps 5 and in the picture the room has a day bed that looked like it would work great. After checking i we had 2 queen beds. I asked if the room we booked was available they stated that the room that is listed on Expedia can not be guaranteed by them. They brought in a cot which worked but i was disappointed in Expedia for advertising a room that was not available.

The room categories in their site vs Expedia do not match. The hotel checked me into a room that didn’t match the description of the one I paid for. We didn’t have washer dryer as falsely advertised. I called The front desk. They were going to speak with manager. It’s now 2 full days later I still haven’t heard from anyone with a resolution or refund for not honoring the room originally booked. We traveled with family. One of the other rooms had a dirty toilet and when we expressed that to front desk, they said we should’ve filed a complaint via documentation received at check in. In addition yesterday someone at front desk stated room service started at
