My son and I were staying in Ocean City in August and decided that we were having such a good time we would extend our vacation. Unfortunately, the nice hotel we were staying in was not available. We called at least 8 other hotels and motels that we know are nice but everyone was sold out. So we went up... More

There is a heated pool that is very nice and kept clean. They offer a beach shuttle but we didn't use it. Also... More

The good: location, your literally 2 blocks from the boardwalk. The pool, heated, very clean pool area. Management, nice staff, gave us things we asked for within an hour if it wasn't on hand. The bad: room, needed updating in the worst way. Rugs have to go, painting is needed badly, ac in our room didn't work, the fridge didn't... More

Never stayed here in all the times we've been to OCNJ. Room 29 could be our new favorite spot! Bunk bed, futon, bed, 2 tvs, new AC, large bathroom (shower/no tub) and small kitchenette. Nice pool and short walk to the beach and boardwalk. Front desk help very helpful. Looking forward to a return trip!

The room itself was nicely remodeled. Everything was well maintained and clean. The pool was alot of fun, the temp was perfect and we used it everday. It was very close to the beach and boardwalk, we were able to walk everywhere. The clientele wasn't great. We were scheduled to leave on a Saturday morning and the guests that arrived... More

We got this room at the last minute. The price was not bad being you were within 2 blocks of beach. The pool was nice but small. Our room had a re-done bathroom and was pretty clean. I would say the most discouraging aspect was the front desk help. The young girl behind the desk was dressed very provocatively and... More

I was here for a short weekend working with clients. The room was small and clean. It had a nice kitchenette which had everything we needed (except a corkscrew). The room was not out of this world, but I felt comfortable staying there. Outdated decorations and bedding but still comfortable. The bed was comfortable as well. The staff was helpful... More
