The Forum is an updated, family friendly motel in OCNJ. The front desk was friendly, and I appreciated the easy check in. The bathroom is modern and spacious. Parking is fine, and easy walk to the beach. I love that they have an outdoor shower to rinse off sand. I would stay here again!

For our first time staying over in Ocean City it was fantastic.
Everything from the start of the booking and going in to get the keys to our room went great. Questions were answered quick and straight to the point. Liked the staff as well. Rooms were clean and everything was organized.

This hotel is in a great location. It’s clean and comfortable. On site parking. I felt price was a little high. Not on the beach and some small repairs but beach is close and walkable, no major issues! I will stay again.
