I stayed here over MDW with my girlfriend and dog and had an amazing experience. The staff was super attentive and helpful. Our room was spacious, clean, and this hotel is located on a great part of the boardwalk. This hotel is PERFECT for traveling with a dog. They offered a list of dog friendly restaurants in the area, treats, and had grass and a bathroom area right in the back. I cannot wait to visit Ocean City again and when I do I will be staying here. Highly recommend to those with families and fur babies.

I thought the "efficiency suite" was little over stated. It was not more then a coffee pot, microwave, and a small frig. Beds were just standard (not queen or king). Location is great, right on the beach. Pool was clean. Staff was courteous and helpful,

I’ve stayed here twice since August of 2025; most recent stay was 06/26. This is a nice property with friendly staff! The location can’t be beat, oceanfront near 26th street and towards the quiet end of the boardwalk. We had a 3rd floor oceanfront room and the view is fantastic! The hotel has undergone some renovations/facelift since last Summer and the improvements are quite nice (new floors, new curtains, etc.). Our room had a mini kitchenette; everything was clean and functional. The beds and pillows were nice and comfortable, the tv, wi-fi and a/c all worked well. The room was CLEAN! They have an on-site bar & restaurant near the swimming pool. We had breakfast at the restaurant once and it was good. We arrived early before full season on a Tuesday so they allowed us to check in early which was greatly appreciated! Big shout out to Madonna in reception- she is very pleasant and helpful (as are all the staff). Highly recommend this hotel and I will definitely return.
