Top Downtown Ocean City Hotel Reviews

Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel by Wyndham Ocean City Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent

"It was fabulous from the time I walked in til we left. April was a pleasure so was Anits the rooms were huge so was the tub big enough to take a bath it was deep Beds were comfortable so was the room the view was great all in all I'll definitely stay there again"

Plim Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location but very small rooms and the bathroom if your 5ft 7 or taller the bathroom cammode could be a problem because when you sit down the tub is right there. Your unable to sit straight. Your knees are dug in the tub, Its a very small and tight bathroom. There is no chairs in room to sit so bed only. The facilities as far as pool area and beach and right on the boardwalk is great. The restaurant on premises has good food and entertainment at least on weekends during the day. They have parking on sight but minimal so you have to go to there other lots which are 2 blocks away and from what i saw there is no security. I didnt have any issues but be on notice. I would stay there again since i didnt spend much time in room but if your going to be in the room a great deal im not sure this place is for you."
