The motel was average not too clean but close to the beach. Had to call for room service which wasn’t too great anyway. The room smelled and was never bleached like we asked. The ocean was fun but ocean city is overcrowded! Anyway it all turned out to be a pleasant week at the beach.

Check in was easy , staff were friendly , and we had acres to ice and coffee 24/7. however I did encounter a roach in the bathroom which is a big deal for me . I expected this facility to be clean and free of rodents and insects and that honestly dampened my entire experience after seeing that.

Nice little spot to view the boardwalk

Rooms are a little outdated but clean and comfortable. Having the balcony to sit on to people watch was great.

Property had easy access to boardwalk, and was safe at night. Stay was great. Pool was clean. Rooms were clean, can’t help sand being everywhere. Ac units could use an update. Our room was cold but later on at night ac would blow warm air. Would stay again if we were to come back.

The allowance and encouraging of smoking everywhere but inside the rooms sadly ruined the experience. There were smoke buckets outside every room in the walkways, and on every balcony. Every time we went out to the balcony, we smelled smoke. When we went to the boardwalk, we had to pass by others sitting in the open walkways smoking. I asked 2 separate people at the front desk on 2 separate days about this, and they both said the same thing. "Yes, its totally fine. Just don't smoke in the room." On Hotels.com it is listed as a smoke free property, which means smoking is prohibited in all areas of a property. I can see if people are sneaking it, but when you have buckets filled with sand everywhere for cigarette butts, then you are actively helping and encouraging your guests to smoke.

Good location if you don’t get a ocean view room there are many other hotels that offer better views of the action the property sits well off Baltimore ave so if you don’t like the noise from the road it’s not as bad as some locations down there. Tv channels suck as most ocean resort h
