The location is beyond great but unfortunatley the service staff is not welcoming nor helpful. Room was filthy. There was a cough drop wrapper in the room our entire stay I even made the front desk aware and she said she would note it. Also a dead cockaroach on the bathroom door. When I have spoken to the front desk... More

If you don't have the time for a full week home rental or just don't want to bother with cooking and linens, etc., this is the best place to stay. If you want 3 nights at the Jersey shore, this is the best bet. It is right on the beach at the quiet end of the boardwalk, and it has... More

A stay at the Port-O-Call was my excellent adventure. I have enjoyed staying at the Port-O-Call for many years now and getting the best away from home never gets old for this hotel. In my opinion there is no better place to stay in and around Ocean City. I have always felt that the housekeeping staff is the best I... More

I always like staying here. The staff is very friendly, the rooms are clean and updated and the ocean view is priceless. My only problem on craft show weekend was that the restuarant was very slow for breakfast - delicious though when it was served.

We like to come for winter and get an ocean view room and open the sliding glass door to listen to and smell the ocean while we eat Manco Manco pizza (that was delivered) and play scrabble. Then in the morning walk on the deserted beach and boardwalk and just realx There is something special about being at the beach... More

I called Port-O-Call several months ago to inform them about my wedding guests staying at the Port-O-Call and see if they offered a wedding rate. We had needed about 25-30 rooms. I figured they'd be thrilled about the business. I spoke to Sandy. She was unfriendly and acted as though I was an inconvenience. I called a few times with... More

Dear Guest, I would like to apologize for any problems experienced by your guests during their stay at the Port-O-Call hotel. I spoke to my Sales Manager, Sandy regarding your perception of her demeanor during your conversations with her. This is completely out of character for her, but certainly does not excuse the fact that you felt "brushed off" and... More

Our visit was last July, but I just started writing reviews and I wanted to get my opinion in on the Port O' Call. For the last 8 years weve gone for 4 days in July with my wife's parents. It's an old hotel, but quite clean with a good location on the beach. There really isn't another hotel like... More

The location and staff were great at the Port-O-Call. They tried to accommodate our needs, but the issues we had were beyond their control. The hotel is old and run down. Some of the rooms have been updated and are very nice, but many show years of ware and tear. The hotel in general is NOT soundproof. We could hear... More
