I wanted a place on the boardwalk to meet with family who were staying nearby in a condo. It was a great location - right on the boardwalk, close and easy! I love that the rooms were labeled with their location. I got a room that wasn’t facing the boardwalk or pool and it was quiet.

The motel was average not too clean but close to the beach. Had to call for room service which wasn’t too great anyway. The room smelled and was never bleached like we asked. The ocean was fun but ocean city is overcrowded! Anyway it all turned out to be a pleasant week at the beach.
