We had a great overnight stay. The staff was as helpful and the room was small but all we needed. After spending the day at the beach, the pool was nice too. Free parking and beach tags were a bonus too. My only gripe is the cost for one night but that was a pretty good rate compared to other places so that just seems the norm for Ocean City. Being on the same block as the boardwalk was great for kids.

The room was nice, glad we were on the first floor, even though it was back in a hallway with no natural light. They have updated the rooms which were nice. The bathroom could use a nightlight since a really loud fan came on any time you turn the light on. Would definitely stay here again!

Room was ok but could be updated. Outdoor green carpeting along entrance way to room was very old and falling apart. Location was excellent! Very close to boardwalk and beach less than a block.

It’s a nice (enough), clean (enough) property that’s SO conveniently located that I keep coming back. Staff is lovely usually. The parking sucks, you’re “guaranteed” a spot but rarely get one in the main or side lots. Bathrooms need a big upgrade.

I think the beach was cleaner than the carpet. Judging by the different types and lengths of hair on the bathroom floor it hadn't been cleaned in quite some time.

The roller coaster and tilt-a-whirl are very close to the east side of the motel. Noise and screams continued until 11:00 pm. Bathroom and sink areas were dated. There was a vent through the front wall that did not fully close. The price was reasonable and for a family on a limited budget that wants to be near the boardwalk and beach, the deficiencies could be overlooked.

Very convenient location - close to beach and boardwalk. Parking was occasionally inconvenient when the main lots were full and you had to park across the street from the hotel. The pool was enjoyable, but no towels available. Rooms were mostly clean. Beds were a bit hard for our liking, and the pullout bed/sofa mattress was extremely uncomfortable due to springs and thinness. Some staff did not seem happy/welcoming, we had to wait awhile for service at the front desk and had to ask twice for new towels. Overall, not the fanciest hotel but better than others we've stayed at. It was worth the cost for the convenient location and pool.
