So disappointed in this property. There’s absolutely not enough parking so you have to park blocks away, with a parking pass which is super inconvenient. There are no elevators so you have to drag your bags up three floors. The quality of the room was beyond low budget From the towels to the sheets to the mold growing in the shower in the corners, I would never stay here again. Nor recommend it to anyone else.

Fantastic little gem in Ocean City

My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend to attend a multi-day music festival, and we were very impressed with how friendly and attentive the staff were. We had a minor water leak from the toilet base and it was addressed and fixed the same day. Our room was spacious and clean. Having the full refrigerator and kitchen were great. Highly recommend this hotel if you're in the area and just looking for a clean place to rest your head!

Nice stay for a weekend get away!!

The Hotel was very good for weekend stay. Room was clean and nicely maintained. The owners were extremely nice and helpful!! Hotel was an older hotel and parking was tight. But owner was accommodating with off sight parking. Only one item I would comment on was shower! It showed hotels age with some mold in the grout. Was definitely cleaned but should remedy that to make it a perfect stay for a weekend get away!
