Place is great if you’re looking for somewhere, not too expensive to stay but cleaner than your average motel, with a modern vibe. Customer service was great, and the bed was very comfortable, except for the pillows. Also, this place is in good proximity to the beach and many other fun attractions and stores. Overall, no complaints and I would definitely book again.

Older facility with updated amenities, clean and well maintained. Price was very reasonable and the pool was also well maintained. Staff was friendly and there was a continental breakfast. Convenient to all shops, beaches and restaurants. I wasn't too happy with the noise from the a/c unit and that it didn't have a mirror other than at the sink.

This place screamed "motel". The room smelled kind of mildewy, probably because of high humidity, but the bed was reasonably comfortable and it was overall clean. There were ants on the counter where the breakfast display was in the morning - would have been a nice touch to swipe them away so guests weren't distracted by them when picking out a bagel or grabbing silverware. I didn't check out the pool or jacuzzi, but those might have been nice amenities. Note that this hotel is about a 15 min drive from Ocean CIty.

Outdated. Pool and hot tub are clean and great though. First room was dirty had to request room on second floor. There’s like a marsh right behind motel so the first floor room felt very humid and sticky. Wouldn’t pay more than $100 a night. AC worked fine. Took a while for hot water to come on. Water pressure was good.

For the price it’s perfectly fine especially with how expensive ocean city is. It was just me and my son so the room was good enough for us. Cleanliness was ok. The bed was clean and most of the room. There was ants so had to be very careful with leaving food or drinks out. Shower had hair in it from someone and I get grossed out by that but nothing you couldn’t just rinse down.
