Dear concerned guest, we are sorry your stay was just average. We work hard to make sure your experience is one to remember. We do apologize for the hot tub being down, it was posted on the website and we did adjust the rates to reflect this.

We upgraded you to an Ocean View room free of charge as a courtesy, we would have been happy to move you to an Atrium View or City View if you would have made a request to our front desk. We have just updated the Ocean View rooms with new carpet, trim, paint and ceilings.

Our front desk staff has an average tenure of over 3 years and we have gotten exceptional complements on the quality of hospitality we provide, we truly do apologize for any mis-communication you may have had.

We do not allow pets of any kind in the hotel, but we do have a hotel 2 blocks away which is pet friendly if you wish to bring your pet along for vacation.

We do have several other hotels which may have better suited your expectations for your beach vacation. We can certainly accommodate you in the future. Thanks again for being our guest, we truly do hope you choose the Carousel Group for your next beach vacation getaway!

This place should absolutely be avoided. The rooms throughout the hotel were 85 degrees + and they could not turn on the AC. The heaters could not be shut off until the summer months. This is April 5 2013. Their solution is to provide you with a box fan. Please take my advice and stay elsewhere. Rooms are completely outdated.

Dear valued guest, we are sorry your accommodations were not as temperate as you would have wished. Our hotel is on a 2 pipe system which can either be in heat mode or AC mode. Some days we have unusually warm weather which may increase the temperature within our rooms. Our oceanfront rooms have been refurbished as of 2012 with new beds, bed spreads, flat screen LCD TV's, carpet, paint, drapes and granite. Our non oceanfront rooms are currently being upgraded as well with new paint, carpet, trim, and bed spreads. All of our rooms come standard with high quality queen beds, kitchenettes and flat screen LCD TV's with high definition cable. Even our non oceanfront rooms are still just steps from the beach. We do hope you choose to stay with us once more in beautiful Ocean City, Maryland.

Took my two children there for a quick trip at the end of Spring Break. Really looked forward to pool, hot tub, peace and quiet. Hot tub was shut down. This was on their web page, but I never went down far enough on the web page to see this - it should have been a pop-up when you registered. The room was so hot and no way to lower temperature. The room was also very noisy - by the elevator, kids running and screaming in hall. I had booked a room overlooking the atrium, which was nice to see, but after the ice rink closed at 10:00, the zomboni droaned on for an hour. Then, the next morning, trying to get a quick swim in before having to check-out, we went down to the pool to only be told it didn't open until 10:00 - but that was not posted anywhere, and there was no information in the room about services and hours about hotel facilities. When I complained to manager about hot tub (because I really would have stayed somewhere else if I had known it was not available) I thought I would at least be offered some token complimentary compensation - but no, just told sorry. Nice place, but not user friendly.

Dear valued guest, thanks for your review. We are making a lot of upgrades and do apologize that you could not enjoy the hot tub due to renovations. The hot tub renovations were posted on the front page of our website at the very top of the text. Although our hot tub was closed our indoor pool, skating rink, sauna, fitness center, game room, Bamboo Lounge, Bistro and Oceanfront Restaurant were still open to our guests. We do apologize for the Zamboni noise but this should have only been for 5-10 minutes tops. The entire rink only takes about 20 minutes to completely close down, we are not sure what could have taken a full hour. We are reworking our in room guide book to have more robust information about our hotel and the surrounding areas. We would have given you some sort of compensation but the information was posted online and the rate was adjusted accordingly considering the hot tub amenity was excluded. Thank you for being our guest, we hope you choose the Carousel Hotel once more for the upcoming Summer of 2013!

My husband & I stayed over Easter weekend & the room was fine. Nothing out of the ordinary, 2 beds, not so sturdy table with 3 chairs, microwave, small coffee maker, small refrig & sink. Our room was clean & the shower was very good, lots of water pressure. Was suprised there was not a luggage rack in the room but we made out ok. Staff was definitely nice & accommodating. Would consider staying there again some day.

Dear valued guest, thanks for your review! We are working hard to upgrade every aspect of the hotel, every year we pick a few key projects and make some great improvements. March is a beautiful time in Ocean City if you want to avoid the crowds, and the price is a great deal as well. Our oceanfront rooms have all been refurbished in the past couple years with new beds, bed spreads, flat screen TV's, curtains, carpet, granite, and paint. We are so happy you chose to spend your holiday weekend with us and we can't wait to have you as our guest once more!

We stayed here over a long weekend for the St. Patrick's day parade. The employees were very nice and professional. The ice skating rink was fun and the pool was very nice. The hot tub was not available due to updating. The room was spacious and clean. The only thing I would change would be to stay in an outside room next time. We stayed in an atrium room, which made me feel claustrophobic. Also, it got too warm and we couldn't change the temperature controls. Also there were some bugs, not flies, more like no-see-um that were annoying.

Dear valued guest, thank you so much for staying with us in beautiful Ocean City! Our staff works hard to make sure your stay is the best if can be. Many people prefer the Atrium due to being able to view the ice rink, and the live ice shows in the Summer. We would have been happy to move you to an Oceanfront Room or at the very least a view of your choice. Unfortunately during the hump seasons the climate control can be difficult to accommodate everyone's comfort level since the hotel is on a two pipe heating and cooling system. We do carry box fans and space heaters to help with the climate control. Thanks so much for choosing The Carousel for your St. Patrick's Day weekend, we can't wait to have you again as our valued guest!
