Very easy to check in. The bed was comfortable. It had way more then what we needed for our stay. It had a fridge, micorwave and stove and cookware. For the price it was well worth it. We will remember this place when we want to come back again.

We were here off-season, so there was no problem parking at all. It’s a vintage hotel and very charming, as were all of the staff we met. Plenty of places to eat nearby. Kitchen was nicely set up with all of the basics. Will definitely return whenever driving north to visit.

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.

It is a very nice hotel that is walking distance from the beach (about two blocks away). The beach area nearby is also very nice. I prefer it to the beach by the boardwalk as it is quieter. It is also walking distance from many restaurants, and the staff are very nice. I had a great stay and want to come back!

This motel is truly family owned and operated. The staff could not have been nicer and more helpful. I would recommend this facility to anyone heading to Ocean City.
