Our room was very clean; the staff was very friendly and helpful, the parking is a little tight, but that isn't uncommon for Ocean City. The room was beautiful and you couldn't beat the ocean front view, absolutely stunning. The room stayed cool, which was great for how hot it was outside. We will be staying there again in the future.

The room that we rented was directly under the cafe which was convenient. The room itself was kept really nice and everything that was included came in clutch. Beds were fine and clean. AC was running so well, kept it cool in the room. Overall, a good experience! Will def be coming back.

I booked an end of the summer vacation with me in my two kids. I booked two separate rooms because my daughters brought their friends. And I would say, both my rooms were exceptionally clean. The staff was very, very friendly and it was close to the boardwalk. Easy access. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone? And I will be staying here my next vacation. Thank you so much for making my vacation relaxing. Only downside was when I stayed. The ice machine was not working

The room was very spacious and clean. I was impressed by the air conditioning unit and its ability to keep our room nice and cold during a hot week. Staff was willing to help even though i had little interaction with the main desk, the housekeeper was very sweet and got things done fast. Parking was easy and overall id definitely stay here again.
