Top Downtown Ocean City Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn & Suites Ocean City by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing"

Crystal Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"I loved everything about my stay except the balcony situation. The balconies are not private, unfortunately. We had an oceanfront room, but could not really enjoy our view because the majority of the time, other people were on their balcony when we stepped out onto ours. You can even see and hear those below you as well. Otherwise, it was a very clean, wonderful smelling hotel at a reasonable price. Staff were friendly and helpful. Please put barriers up between the balconies!"

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!"

Days Inn by Wyndham Ocean City Oceanfront

8/10 Good

"Rooms have laminate flooring which I guess is good for sand cleanup for staff but a GIANT pain in your room walking barefoot, then to try and get into bed without bringing sand into the covers?!?!?!? Housekeeping did not come to vacuum or provide clean towels..... Ventilation in bathroom is terrible, even taking a tepid shower made it steam up. Need stronger vent fans. We were on ground floor and whoever was above us must have had toddlers running laps in oversized shoes at 0745 am, another guest had a dog that started barking at 0734 am, and next door to us had their TV on loud at 0800, I'm guessing for their kids? ...need more soundproofing in rooms and walls."
