Absolutely horrible, first night i had to call the dromt desk because peiple were fighting at 1245pm and a kod was screaming saying they were hungry to the parent. People atopping around being loud evem though there are quiet hour signs posted all over. Cpuldnt us the ac because it smelt like mold, npt tp mentiom the filter was so dirty aith dust. Opened the window, i have a dront faceing window toward the street and right below is the front porxh of thos beach house, piple out there all night smoking weed and cigarettes so i had to close the window and sweat all night. The second night. Went to sleep.arpund 10pm because i have to get up early and leave to be woken up to a family stomping up the stairs with a screaming kid again. About 30 minutes later a couple lady's coming in being loud. Finally gwt back to sleep and then woken at 330am because again some loud annoying women are on the front porch smoking weed and cigarettes again. Needlesa to say this was the worse experience ever I will never stay here agin nor recommend this place tp anyone.

Hidden fees upon arrival after paying in advance. We were on the third floor of the Beach House. No elevators and my husband is in his 60s. It was very difficult to lug everything up and down the stairs. No seats or table in room, only bed, small side tables and one lamp. Staff were rude during every interaction. Beds were worn out with springs in our backs. Newly painted but not good at all. We left a day early.
The room was very clean. Ive stayed at quite a few place in the beach and i always find a little sand on the floors. Not here, the room was spotless. The staff was accommodating abd answered all my questions with a smile.
The girls that did my check in i think were exchange students and very hard to understand, which created a communication barrier. I was told that there would be additional charges and holds on my card that wasn't previously described. The manager (i assume) wasn't very pleasant. I was never thanked, asked to come again or anything. I couldn't find our room andcwas told they were sending someone over to assist us, but nobody ever showed. We eventually found in on the side of a building. We get inside and it has a king size bed tgat takes up the whole small room. There is barely enough room to walk around it. And there is a bathroom, which was very tight to get around the bed to enter
Oversll i give this place zero stars. In my opinion, not worth the $120/ per night
I stay at the beach house .. very convenience .the only problem was that at the beach house don’t have elevator .other than that… very quite and comfortable.
The rooms clean !!! Staff is friendly and very helpful!!!! Someone is always available to answer questions and help in making sure your stay is a Nice experience!!!!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Important to note that all buildings owned by property has elevator access. Stairs can become an issue, especially 3 or 4 floors. This became an issue but was resolved by management. I can safely say that the staff was respectful, considerate and helpful with my mothers physical limitations. My solution was tolerable at the end, making my stay enjoyable at the end. The only negative thing would be the beds, very uncomfortable and flat.
We stayed at the beach house. I was not aware we needed to pay an extra $90 when I arrived. The additional money was for resort fees and a room deposit which that will be refunded. I'm just glad I had a credit card with me.
Room was very clean. The door had a large gap around it. Room was right off front porch and other guest were smoking marijuana and smell was coming right into room, along with watching videos on phone very loud, could hear it even with TV on.
It is very mis leading when booking if you are not familiar with ocean city. Our location was a block away from the boardwalk. No elevators - we were on the second floor with 3 children, I’ve had 3 knee surgeries and the stairs were very inconvenient. Our tv volume wouldn’t go up past 15. It smelled like urine. We gave staff our dirty towels and had to ask for clean ones an hour later when none were provided. The rooms are also EXTREMELY small. Probably the smallest room we have ever had in our 14 years of vacationing with kids!
Really not far from the beach. This was our second time staying at this hotel. Front Desk was very pleasant, and nice. Maintenance was a great help as well. Thank You Mr.Todd 😊

Love the location. Not having access to coffee and toilet paper was inconvenient. You can hear every thing from other guests. Room wasn't clean throughly and am positive bed had bed bugs. Water pressure in shower was weak. Room very small but served its purpose for our short visit. Staff was friendly. Positives-location close to beach, access to two free chairs and bikes, use of their two pools.
