It was a pleasant stay. The hotel was close to the beach and it was close enough, as well as far enough, from the boardwalk. The staff were friendly and helpful and the pool was really clean and heated which was delightful to use.

I originally picked this place because of the price but after being allowed to come in early before checking in i was able to Park use their pool and go to the ocean which was why I wanted to go to the beach. Then after checking out, I was allowed to park for the rest of the day use the pool go to the ocean. The staff was extremely helpful ( I was even given a mini history lesson about the hotels that I stayed at when I was a child), My Room was clean and the hotel was well maintained. I will come again

You get what you pay for. This is a simple motel in Ocean City, MD. The property itself was fine, and check-in was quick and easy. The rooms are a bit outdated and appeared clean at first glance, but we did find a used floss pick on the floor next to one of the beds, as well as hair on the sink and in the bathtub. The walls and ceilings are very thin. Our neighbors next door were quiet and courteous, but we could hear every footstep from the family staying above us. There was a lot of running and jumping early in the morning, which made it difficult to sleep. The beds were also not very comfortable, as the mattresses were quite firm. Overall, our stay was okay. If you’re looking for an inexpensive place to stay and don’t expect luxury, it gets the job done.
