Tv remote was broken, room smelled very musty, blinds bent/ broke, gap in the door to our hotel room, dehumidifier in room didn’t work properly, bathroom was incredibly small, service was also not the best. After getting back from the beach it was 11:06, I asked if we could go into the room just to get changed and was told no check out is at 11. Which I understand but also at the same time, would have been a nice gesture just to let us get changed for our last day here. We had to go find a public bathroom and change in which was not near where we were. All around would not recommend this place to anyone unless you do not care about anything at all other then a place to lay your head down.

The first night we came back from the boardwalk, set down a slice of pizza, used the bathroom, and when I went to pick the pizza up there was ants all over the side table and my food.
We couldn't set any food or drinks down without ants all over them. We asked for bug spray but they didn't have any.

I love Ocean City and let me be clear, this room was not a fortune and didn’t cost an arm and a leg. That being said, there’ plenty of hotels with a standard that’s a little more elevated when it comes to their presentation. Service was no problem. The room itself was just a room, the bathroom was adequate.

Location was convenient and close to boardwalk. Room was what you expect for a last minute decision and price. Only thing that was difficult was parking, spaces arent made for large trucks. Other issue was the guy checking people in is rude and has no personality, should find new job not in customer service

It was filthy, it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned properly in months. Practically everything about this place was terrible except for the fact that it was close to all the attractions of the area

The motel was dirty and filled with rusty everything. There were holes in the bathroom screen, the shower screws were rusty and old. The door hinges were rusty and old. The first room we were put into, the AC filter was unclean and the window wouldn't open. When they moved us to the second room, the AC filter was clean but you could see mold where the air was coming in. The bed was uncomfortable, the outlet close to the bed had mold everywhere and forget about the furniture. The dresser wouldn't close all the way. Now I don't expect perfection from a motel but the curtain for the only window was broken in certain areas so people outside could see inside no problem. Even though there was a no smoking sign for inside, there were guests smoking outside the apartment door. The door was missing so much insulation that the smoke outside came inside and woke us up. I had already developed terrible allergies from the first room and when I asked for a possible refund, owner told me it wouldn't be possible and only gave me a second room which I took because it was last minute. Would have rather slept on the street. Also, there were no housekeepers that came to clean the room while we were there, only hung a bag of towels on the door and some soap. Not worth the $1800 I paid for. Next will spend on better accommodations. Highly disappointed in this establishment.

Pros: Excellent location, hot water, working toilet.
Cons: The door didn’t seal and only had a lock on the doorknob. There was pet damage throughout, mismatched furniture with peeling veneers, and the AC unit was filthy and held up with shims. The window had broken blinds, so people could see right into your room!

The room is tiny, like a closet without any amnities. The door lock can be easily opened without a key. No dead bolt.

Check in person was rude. Bed linens did not feel clean. Terrible odor from air conditioning. Small, old, thin towels. Terrible place to stay.

Housekeeping was a bag hung on door with towels and a roll of toilet paper. And there was a fee of $6 per nite for this added to the cost of the room. Dresser drawers were very hard to open/close. Bathroom was extremely small. No medicine chest in bathroom, just 1 very large mirror.

We read the negative reviews but were happy with the room. It was small ,clean and everything you would expect for the money. The big value was how close it was to the beach. I’m sure other hotels charged hundreds to be that close.

The room was small but clean. Convenient location to the beach and boardwalk. Parking was not ideal for a minivan. Spaces were tight and hard to get into. Overall would stay here again for the price & location.
