Don't be fooled, this place is a dump. We were hit in the face by the foul smell of mold/mildew as soon as we opened the door. The carpet was so FILTHY that we had to go and buy flip flops to wear while we were in the room because our feet turned black!! The shower head only had about... more

The room was very clean; the sheets were crisp clean everyday, beds were comfortable and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Complimentary coffee was available all day at... more

The room included a small kitchen area which saved us money as an alternative for eating our for every meal. The AC worked great and the room was nice... more

Do not stay at this hotel if you can get a room anywhere else. This is possibly the worst beach hotel I’ve ever stayed at on the East Coast. The hotel I usually stay at in Ocean City was full, as were some other options, but this place had vacancies. Now I know why. The first issue with the hotel... more

I really don't have anything good to say about & I wish I would have read the reviews before I booked it! My biggest complaint were the bugs in the bathroom & in the tub!

All I can say is STAY AWAY. My friends and I stayed for senior week this year. It was the worst place I have ever stayed in my life. When we got there we all paid seperate. Some how 100 dollars came up missing. The woman had made change with money that she did not put in the system. She... more

I thought when I booked this hotel, I was getting a great deal!!! We were sorely disappointed when we were given a closet of a room. The "large double bed" was the size of a single with a matress about 4 inches thick---it was liking sleeping on a rock. The fire detector wires had been cut---God forbid the hotel caught... more
