Top Downtown Ocean City Hotel Reviews

Sahara Motel

8/10 Good

"Room was clean, AC worked great. But the hair dryer did not work, looked like a fire waiting to happen especially because the bathroom sink evenb ...mbmbbbbbbbbbbbbb!as the worst"

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Ocean City

8/10 Good

"I really enjoyed my stay at Fairfield Inn & Suites. The location was excellent, with convenient proximity to the Convention Center, restaurants, and other nearby amenities. My room on the 4th floor at the end of the hall also had a great view, and the bed was very comfortable. Most importantly, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and accommodating, which made for a pleasant experience. A few areas could use some attention. It would be nice to have additional bathroom amenities such as lotion, mouthwash, and facial wipes, as well as sealed coffee creamer cups, cane sugar packs, chocolate, and tea bags in the room. Also, there were some housekeeping concerns during my stay, and not properly cleaned - like the coffee maker, bathroom fixtures, tops of the furniture, and telephone could have used more thorough cleaning. Addressing these details would make an already enjoyable stay even better. Overall, plan to visit and stay again. Thanks :)"
