Top Downtown Ocean City Hotel Reviews

Madison Beach Motel

8/10 Good

"my first stay here, was pleasantly surprised by how clean and well kept this motel was. my companion traveller was unhappy about the sliding door on the bathroom. seemed to not be wide enough to cover the doorway entrance, so she didn't feel there was enough privacy. but all in all it was a nice place to stay. close to the boardwalk, clean safe place to sleep. i would definitely stay here again."

Crystal Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We were not expecting it, but we ended up having an end room w 2 sets of windows on the side and ocean view from our little deck. The room was huge with 2 queen beds, a pull out couch, and fridge and microwave. The bathroom was nice and big as well. I liked that there was a table in there to put all your toiletry things on it. We were here in mid October and was able to get an amazing price for this room. Room was clean and staff did check in quickly. I would definitely look into this place again to stay if we were coming to Ocean City again."
