The check in was easy, smooth and quick. The gentleman, Douglas helped us and was very pleasant and informative. Made our check in a really good experience ! The room was very clean and had everything we can possibly need. The staff was friendly and courteous. The beach was right across from us and we had a room with a side ocean view from the balcony which was a plus. I'll definitively go back there and stronly recommend it !

Front desk staff are friendly, check in was easy. Loved having an efficiency kitchen which saved us money being able to make some meals in the room. Having streaming services on the TV was a plus. Beds were ok, but should be updated soon. Steps to the beach and boardwalk. Looked like all rooms had some of an ocean view from the side. Would definitely stay here again.

This hotel is amazing! Full kitchen with stove, oven, apartment size fridge, toaster, coffee maker. All the convenience of home. Don't have to waste money eating out the entire time. Very quiet and safe area on the boardwalk. Steps from the beach. Balcony with ocean view. Super nice staff. Plenty of free parking in their lot. Comfortable beds and clean bathroom with great shower. Hot water and great water pressure. Stayed in plenty of places that was not always the case. Nothing to complain about here. Loved my stay and will definitely be back next summer! So glad I found this hotel!

Our first trip to Ocean City. We arrived early they got us right into our room. Great staff always had towels and things you needed. Pool was great other than not being able to go very far in the ocean do to the effects of hurricane we had a great time for a great price 😄
