I made an excellent choice in selection for stay. Price was good, accomodations as well. Very convenient to beach, shopping, everything! Only thing i might say is that there were a lot of children during my stay so @ breakfast time with a buffet it was a little hectic

We booked this hotel because it advertised rollaway beds and I even confirmed with the front desk prior to arrival that one was noted on our reservation. When we checked in, I was told the hotel doesn’t have rollaways at all and was advised to “make a bed on the floor.” With four kids, this was impossible and unacceptable. We had to waste our first evening (and extra money) buying an air mattress from Walmart just to have enough sleeping space. The sofa pullout mattress was also in terrible condition—springs with no padding—and no bedding was provided until we requested it. The issues didn’t stop there. The indoor pool water was so cloudy and against my better judgement I let the kids give it a try - one got a rash from our first few minute dip and we never returned. The wall mounted toiletries in our room were empty, and only four towels were provided for a six-person booking. At breakfast, when I asked about ingredients due to my child’s food allergies, staff dismissively said they didn’t know and couldn’t provide any information. On top of that, multiple nights we found the side door propped open, which felt unsafe. This was one of the most stressful and disappointing hotel stays we’ve ever had. Between misinformation and poor amenities/information shared, I cannot recommend this property and will not return.

Well, Ocean City was an experience for this girl from the west coast where it is not quite such a gym, laundry, and tanning sort of vibe. The hotel itself was just fine, but if you aren't looking for the boardwalk/shore experience, keep going south until you hit a smaller town.

Food options were good and we appreciated the 24/7 coffee station. It’s within driving distance to the Ocean City attractions. Our room had a very strong musty smell and hotel management didn’t change our room. They came to spray some air freshener instead. Window was missing one blackout curtain so we had to concoct a way to cover it. At the bottom of the one curtain there was gunk. Basic cleaning standards were subpar for this type of hotel. Probably wouldn’t come back again.

The guy in the front desk gave us the wrong room. So we settled in and went out but when we got back we couldn’t get in so we had to go back downstairs and get a new room and resign paperwork and I find numerous charges on my credit card. I’m not happy about this mistake which was avoidable if he would of looked at the id I gave him and spelled my name correctly
