Great place to stay near beach

Great place to stay near beach. No very fancy but was clean and well maintained. We were there just for one day. It includes parking so that is very convenient. The property is very large so it has 4-5 different buildings so make sure you book the right building because you could be away from the beach.

Staff was super friendly. Check in was easy. When I got there the door lock wasn’t working but they fixed it while I was out for the day. Extra towels no problem. It’s an older property that could use a refresh but what do you expect at Ocean City. I would return for the staff and for the breakfast spot. Expensive but great pancakes.

The property is good, the room is fair. They have done some updates to the room, and the room is of decent size, but I would be very dissatisfied if I was staying for more than a night.
