Top Downtown Ocean City Hotel Reviews

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Ocean City Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room! Staff was very attentive as usual. Will definitely be returning for our next summer vacation"

Plim Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is a budget hotel right on the beach in between 1st and 2nd Streets so you are just outside the heart of the boardwalk area which is that much better so you don't get all the noise from a few blocks down being close to the amusement park area. It's nothing fancy, showing its age and if you're expecting a lot, or need luxury accommodations, this is not the place for you. If you want the convenience of being right on the beach, close to the boardwalk highlights, a seafood and diner vibe restaurant right down stairs, and a tiki bar with live music out back, then this is your place for those budget conscious. As poorly as I rated it, I still come back here year after year because I don't need a frilly room, I'm only sleeping and showering to get ready for the next beach day. You're just not going to find a better spot for the price in Ocean City."

Monte Carlo Boardwalk Oceanfront Ocean City

8/10 Good

"The Monte Carlo has a great location, with really clean rooms. The attached Crepe daddy restaurant has really good food as well. The beds were comfortable! The only 2 things that were even semi off was, the room shower we had barely worked. The water pressure was pretty bad. The other was, the pillows were damp feeling. I’m sure it’s because the salty air and all, but when I lay down I don’t want to feel a damp pillow. Besides that, everything was great!"
