Rooms and common areas were very clean. The staff was very welcoming and personable. I am a foodie and can say the breakfast was very tasty, balanced and nutritious. I also couldn’t help but fall in love with the fresh lemonade beverage on the porch that they put their own spin on.

Our stay was fabulous! The room, and the whole inn, are spotlessly clean. Our room was very comfy. Breakfast was wonderful - a tasty omelette, delicious home fries and a small salad. The staff, and the innkeeper, are so welcoming and friendly! The notes from are innkeeper are hilarious - but very informative. We will definitely be back!

The Oldest Hotel in Ocean City is a charming victorian bed and breakfast located close to the boardwalk and beach. Our room was clean and comfortable with modern amenities. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast both mornings and the staff was most hospitable.

Historical building (1895!) — first hotel in Ocean City. Of course, the rooms are fully renovated and the bathrooms are modern. The porch is a very special place that gave us so much joy. Staff is genuinely nice.

The Scarborough Inn is a lovely B&B. It's historic but has been updated to give a luxury experience in an old structure. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Check in was seamless and they update you throughout your stay with helpful text messages about the front door code etc. The hot breakfast was delicious and plentiful. They even had a nice happy hour for guests. I highly recommend them.
