Excellent hotel with family vibes. The pool was great, staff was great at check-in and out. Great beach access and royal farms + dunkin in walking distance. Also the pool has pool noodles that everyone can use, its so fun. + the two queen bed room had a full kitchen with range, oven, microwave, fridge, pots/pans/silverware. Would be great for a long term stay

Everything about this place was wonderful! The room was very comfortable with a kitchenette & a full size refrigerator. There is free parking on the property & the beach is about a 3 minute walk. The delicious coffee is available all day & the pool is delightful! The front desk is open 24 hours & Susan & Len were very gracious & helpful as were the cleaning staff! A very convenient location also because shops & restaurants, etc. are nearby. It’s located on the main road so there is some noise from traffic but considering all the good things, that’s a minor issue!! You can’t beat the price so if you’re considering a trip to Ocean City Maryland, just book it, you’ll love it!!

Our stay at Shangri-La was a wonderful experience and a throwback to the old days of traveling. While this motel is old, it is perfectly preserved, very clean and refreshed in appearance, and completely charming. The pool was perfect and had plenty of chairs and umbrellas available. I would definitely recommend any travelers to avoid the big, cold modern hotels and come to Shangri-La where the staff is friendly and you’ll greeted warmly. And don’t forget to say ‘hi’ to the night check-in host, Larry.

Cute motel

Cute "roadside" motel. Had a small kitchenette, outside seating and a nice pool. Rooms could use some updating, but it was clean and the staff was very nice.
