Guests Beware! Hotel is rundown and filthy. Rooms are moldy. Fire Alarm system malfunctioned 4 times within 24 hour period. Screeching ear piercing alarm (requiring fire department and police to deactivate) went off 8 am, 2 pm, 12:45 am and 1:30 am. Rooms had to be evacuated each time and parents stood in front of the hotel with crying babies... more

Very poor parking. Spent a 1/2 hour trying to find a parking space. Once you find your space don't move your vehicle. We I complained at the front desk I was told "you can park at our other 1 block down the street." The hotel has only one VERY slow elevator. We sure got our exercise using the steps. The... more

We've stayed at this motel since the mid-80s when it was still known as the Satellite Motel. Back then, it was family-owned and the service and maintenance was always rock-solid. It's probably been 12-15 years since it changed to a Howard Johnson's, and in that time, it has steadily declined in its level of maintenance, appearance and cleanliness. I've read... more

This hotel was a great combination of value and location. Obviously, this facility is not 4 star, but we understood this when we booked the room. The hotel is located right on the boardwalk and the beach. We had an ocean front room that had a great view and was reasonably priced compared to others in the area. The room... more

Ocean City was the last stop of a long road trip. Desperate to find a place for one night, I booked at this location (not to be confused with the one located more downtown). I had very low expectations going in. That being said, it's good enough for one night. Do not go here expecting anything and it suffices. The... more

We went to the Howard Johnson for a birthday celebration for a friend. I can't say too much about the value of the hotel during peak season, but we got a block of rooms and the rate was only $60 per night which was a great deal. I would not recomment staying at this hotel for more than a few... more

We wanted to be right on the boardwalk with easy access to the beach and boardwalk attractions. We were! The room was clean and recently updated. The beds were very comfortable. Even though we were there on a sold-out weekend the staff was courteous and efficient. more

I paid good money for this hotel, and it wans't worth a cent of it. The people were as rude as can be. We arrived early and asked for a early check in, well our room was the last one to be done, we did not get in our room until well after check in time. Then when we went... more

The rates are good for the location and ammenities but this is the 2nd year we stayed here and it just gets worse. In 2002 there were stains on the comforter (looked like blood) and not very clean. In 2003 we had to wait to check in so the room could be cleaned. When we got to the room there... more
