This hotel is great for the price! It is so close to the beach and boardwalk-we loved not having to drive! The lady at check in was super friendly and the pool and our room was very clean! For the price you can't beat this hotel! Perfect old fashioned beach motel...has soda machine and snack machine in hallways and an... More

I brought my daughter and her friend last August 2011. We stayed for a week and LOVED it. The staff was so personable and accomodating. The room was clean and we loved that the beach and board walk are right out the back door! We didn't have to get in the car and drive anywhere. The pool was very clean... More

My husband and I have been staying at this motel for the past 5 years for Ocean City's Springfest. The staff (Susan, Paula and Yvonne) are very friendly and helpful. Housekeeping does a wonderful job. You are 1/2 block from the beach and boardwalk and 1 block from the main drag, Coastal Highway, where you can catch the bus and... More

My husband and I stayed at the Empress in August 2011. This was a nice clean hotel with very friendly staff. The amenities were a great value for the price. The location was perfect and only steps from the boardwalk. It was walking distance to Phillips Crab House, shopping, and putt-putt golf. The pool was in good repair and there... More

This hotel hasn't changed much since I was a kid. The people are friendly, the place is clean, and its right off the boardwalk. Don't come here expecting the Ritz or any other large hotel chain. This has been run by the same group of people since I was little. The only change I've seen is the wifi I'm working... More

My husband and I were looking to find a nice hotel at a decent price and we found it at the Empress. I had called some of the hotels we've stayed at before, only to find the prices ridiculous. I decided to check reviews on tripadvisor. The Empress had very good reviews so I decided to give it a try... More

Ocean City has gotten very expensive as far as motels. I have stayed at quite a few places here and the Empress has been the best all around. The rooms are not fancy but are very clean. Nice flat screen tv's as well as microwave and small fridge. The bathrooms are small but are very clean and also have blowdryers... More

News flash to other travelers: the two and three story motels that you see from 30th street on down? They were built in the 50's and 60's. Most of them are family owned and not part of some huge chain that can afford to remodel every 5 years. So, if you're not OK with smaller, older-looking accommodations, don't stay at... More

Just got back lastnight from a wonderful trip to OC, staying at this quaint and quiet motel is just what I needed. From the staff in the office to the housecleaners and the gentleman that kept busy cleaning the pool and all of the chairs every morning.Somebody had swept thhe patio outside of every room. I was so impressed! You... More
