The last at front desk even showed where my son could park his car on property my stairs cuz they only provide 1 car pass. Very friendly and efficient! For just being a weekend stay!
Nice room and in pretty good shape except for the balcony door (wasn't sealing properly until I adjusted) and the ripped screen to the balcony - left in a pesky fly.
Comfortable bed & small but nice bathroom. All-in-all a good value for the location.

Property was clean. Advertised beach view but there are no beach view rooms. It was a nice affordable room for one night.

The staff was great. Check in was easy. Provided me all the information needed to stay on property. The room was clean, but was lacking. Some of the outlets didn’t work. Thin blankets on bed and no fitted sheet. AC and TV worked great. All in all we were comfortable during our stay while visiting for a music festival.

Location was perfect for us .. Room was surprisingly clean and cute .. bathroom was tiny and very much out dated .. balcony was over the office awning, which definitely needed to be cleaned .. bottles, crabs shells, dead bird etc ..
My husband had to slam his shoulder into open our door to our room. The manager came over and had to do the same and said he knew about it. The microwave had rust in it. The blinds to the bathroom were broken and people walking outside could s the us in the bathroom. Said offered hair dryer and there was none. Rust in the bathroom and mold in the shower. Very noisy. Beds were very comfortable.

Excellent location, literally just steps from the ocean. Somewhat updated accommodations. Cleaner than most.
Bathroom was shabby and in need of upgrading, there were only 2 small lamps, and the 3rd lamp had no bulb or anywhere to plug it in. Working mini fridge was a plus, as well as a little balcony/patio area. Lock on slider was sturdy. Ac was cold, bed, pillows and linens were comfortable. Very pleasant check in.

Stayed in a first floor Deluxe room with 2 full beds. Beds and general living room/kitchen area were very clean so no complaints there. The bathroom however was very outdated and I tried not to look at the gross tiles and corners of the room, generally clean though. Another thing, not really enough lighting in the room. If you want natural lighting you have to open curtains and that means every single person outside your room can see inside, no privacy. Our view was horrible too, of just the parking lot. We could have asked for a room on a higher floor instead facing the beach, so that could have been on us. Our room was also right next to a janitor's closet of some sorts so we had 2 restless nights due to noises right outside our rooms. Overall very average and it didn't even have a pool for the price we paid. Like for just $30 more we could have booked a place with a pool, will definitely do that next time.
Great price. Surprisingly nice. Super close to the water.

They don't have Wi Fi in the room. We got week Wi Fi at balcony and their office has Wi Fi. I asked few times and they did not solved it. It was very inconvenience.
It’s pretty equal to the nightly cost. But the bathrooms were very old looking, the shower had long fake hair stuck to the tile wall and in tub. Bed frame was very flimsy but mattress was comfortable enough for a good nights sleep. I had a room with a kitchette but it had almost nothing useful to cook or eat with. No room service the first two days I was there (so no new towels, no trash disposal, no hand towels, no soap or sponge for the kitchen sink. No broom or vacuum to clean up any sand from the beach. That was so upsetting. But it’s affordable. Not sure I would stay there again.
Building itself is very rough looking and outdated. We asked if there was a restroom we could use before our check in time and the bathroom/changing room available was absolutely disgusting and infested with bugs, they do not clean that bathroom. After check in we go to our room and we are unable to open our door with our key card. Once the attendant comes up to help us in, we learn you have to slam your shoulder into the door for it to open. The room smelled of dust and mildew and just felt damp and wet. While laying in bed we kept feeling droplets of water falling from the ceiling. A plastic water bottle was attached to the shower head. That on its own was absolutely ridiculous and unbelievable. We learned the hard way: you get what you pay for and this is what $200 a night gets you in Ocean City. Worst place we’ve ever stayed in OC.
First off, the bad stuffs : bathroom is dated. There was a hole on the door from hitting the bracket for hanging. Unhygienic as towels are just on top of the toilet bowl tank. There’s no shelves to put them away. No spare toilet paper like what other hotels have. Ceiling cover tile falling off so can’t say there maintained. You get full bars for WiFi but connection is non existent. As if your in a retreat or camping in the wilderness that you can use internet. No power outlet from the lamp or headboard even side table. You have to charge your phone by the table across.
For the good: the room is renovated and roomy. There’s a refrigerator and microwave. Parking challenging depending on time you arrive. Gets full late at night and certain events. The office is right across at the Flamingo motel I think same owners.
Tv remote didn't work. One of the two chairs was broken and unusable. WI Fi was so weak we could not connect most of the time. The ac unit was loud and went on and off every 2 minutes. One of the mattresses was soft and uncomfortable. There was no clock. There were only two plug outlets and they were not located on the side where the beds were. The bathroom floor had a depression. The tub had no slip resistant liner, no soap dish and no towel rack in the tub area. The room was poorly lit.

Expedia has misleading information about this place. It does not have room service.
This motel shares a front desk with the Flamingo next door so when you call asking questions about your room and they give you answers but do not ask which motel you are staying in. Its a 50/50 chance of getting a coffee machine or hair dryer. There are barely any dishes, I had one plastic plate someone put in the microwave and it partially melted. The air conditioner was so loud and pulsated most of the time that it was not possible to hear the TV and when I was attempting to sleep the air unit would wake me up frequently. One outlet had a prong from a previous device sitting in it.
