A Place to Stay
I love Ocean City and let me be clear, this room was not a fortune and didn’t cost an arm and a leg. That being said, there’ plenty of hotels with a standard that’s a little more elevated when it comes to their presentation. Service was no problem. The room itself was just a room, the bathroom was adequate.

This place is a dump. There are some shady looking people that actually live there. Lots of drinking and pot use

Location was convenient and close to boardwalk. Room was what you expect for a last minute decision and price. Only thing that was difficult was parking, spaces arent made for large trucks. Other issue was the guy checking people in is rude and has no personality, should find new job not in customer service

Pros: Excellent location, hot water, working toilet.
Cons: The door didn’t seal and only had a lock on the doorknob. There was pet damage throughout, mismatched furniture with peeling veneers, and the AC unit was filthy and held up with shims. The window had broken blinds, so people could see right into your room!

This was only good for a place to sleep.
Housekeeping was a bag hung on door with towels and a roll of toilet paper. And there was a fee of $6 per nite for this added to the cost of the room. Dresser drawers were very hard to open/close. Bathroom was extremely small. No medicine chest in bathroom, just 1 very large mirror.

The room is bright as day all night. Flimsy blinds let all the light in (no curtains), and there are bright lights outside the room. WiFi is so slow that I couldn’t even get a web page to load, much less watch a movie on Netflix.

You get what you pay for. Dont go in with high expectations and you'll be just fine. We booked this hotel for 1 night to break up our trip home from the outer banks. Its in a great location. No its not the nicest place and could definitely use some t.l.c. But past that i would stay again for another short stay

Terrible place to stay
When we called and asked about having microwave they told us yes and then didn't have one. The bed sheets were dirty. Had to buy pillows because pillows had mold on them. A.C didn't keep room cool. Front window didn't have any locks. The towels aren't big enough to dry a kid so as a pretty good size man it didn't dry me at all. Seen cleaning lady making bed with dirty sheets in room
