Avoid this place if you are staying in OCMD. Never have I upped and left a hotel, but we did this one. We waited 20 mins past check in for our room to be ready. Once it was finally ready we get on the elevator when an employee hopped on as well without a mask (he had one hanging around his neck and keep in mind that there are signs plastered all over their hotel to wear a mask). We get to our room and greeted with an overwhelming aroma of cleaning chemicals (so much so that I start gagging) and a wet floor from when they mopped. Rich and I were either out and about or sitting on the deck so we hadn't touched the bed yet. I go to get under the covers and noticed it felt like sand was in the bed. I thought somehow I tracked it in. So I peel back the other side of the covers and it feels the same way. Not to mention there are hairs on the sheets! I got someone's used, dirty bedding!!! I call the front desk and the front desk manager answers with attitude and sends a man up with fresh linens so that I can change the bedding. At this point I have been stewing and decide to march myself down to the front desk to tell them that we are leaving and want a refund. Never once did these people apologize except for the poor man that knocked on the door to give me the bedding. Not to mention the lady at the desk as well as the front desk manager weren't wearing their masks. Save yourself the headache and stay across the street at Comfort Inn. At least they have clean sheets.

Liked the fact that it is right by the boardwalk. The parking is really terrible and place does need new furniture.

We had a much better experience last year. They seemed very disorganized this time around. Room was not ready until 6:00 pm day of check-in and the room was not really that clean. Also we had no room service available since they did not seem to have enough help. Like the location and the size of the room but disappointed with the service.

If you absolutely need an elevator this isn't the place for you. There is only one elevator and it was having enough issues that many guest chose to take the stairs even when it was working.

There is NO WAY they didn't know the toilet in room 503 was a problem. That handle did not work from the moment we got there. I extended them some grace & requested a repair Tuesday morning. They did a bandaid fix where surgery was needed and it was back to broken in short order. Everywhere we went, we had to remember to get everyone to use the toilet wherever we went. NOT GOOD. I was there recovering from extensive eye surgeries so it was a HUGE issue for me to have to find another bathroom to use. They don't even have any in the lobby. After getting a toxic call from me to the front desk, they sent up someone on Wednesday eve to replace the broken toilet handle. I tried to enjoy my day on Thursday but the issue of not having a functioning toilet ruined my mood that whole trip and I was unable to enjoy it at all by Thursday. We checked out after dinner on Thursday night because there was no way to restore what we had lost on that trip.
