The Crystal Beach Hotel is located at 25th Street and the Boardwalk overlooking clean, wide beach on the Atlantic Ocean. The hotel is within walking distance of shopping, fine dining, fun eateries, and the amusements on Ocean City's newly renovated boardwalk.
Only a few steps away, enjoy your day on the well guarded beach, bike riding, roller, or stroll the boardwalk. Catch the tram for a leisurely sightseeing boardwalk tour from beginning to end. Want a little more action? You will find jet skiing, parasailing, dinner cruises and miniature golf just a short walk to the bay. It takes only minutes to reach great golf courses or go antiquing in nearby Berlin, the town where "Runaway Bride" was filmed. Of course, don't forget the short trip to Assateague Island to see the famous wild ponies.

We enjoyed the location since it's on the beach but you have to drive to the boardwalk. The room was decent sized and the beds were very comfortable. Their partial ocean view was difficult to see the ocean because we were on the first floor. We mostly saw the side of the hotel next to us. Their pools were clean and they have a great bar/grill right next to the main pool.

Overall we had a great time on our visit to Ocean City. We just got back today. The hotel staffing was friendly and it was right on the boardwalk even if it is a walk from the attractions.
We didn't have any problems heading to the desk to ask for linens for the sofa bed. We were greeted and they supplied what we needed right away. Only thing I could say would be a thicker blanket or down comforter for the beds because even adjusting the AC it got cold.
We didnt have issues with hot water just once in a blue the pressure, but their tubs and showers are huge. The shower head needs replacing though and it was missing a drain plug to take a bath.
The pool got a little crowded when hot, but that was to be expected. The pool with the restaurant bar and grill was a bonus even if they close at 8pm. We loved being able to stay there for hours.
They also accommodated ours needs for a lower level room since our oldest Austic son isn't a fan of heights. The room additionally was overall quiet and a easy stay for us. We truly are sad we had to come home, but we had a great time.

Overall we had a good time here and was what I expected of your average OC hotel. I would return based on our experience. Pros: the two pools and the pool bar. We had some of the best food of the week at Barracuda’s and friendly staff. The room was clean and had space to store food, etc. Cons: the sofa bed was very uncomfortable, the mattress was about 2-3” thick with no padding just springs, I would not recommend planning to use that. I expected the room to be a little bigger based on pictures, the pictures had the beds and sofa along same wall but sofa was on opposite wall so not as long and when sofa bed was out it was up against bed so you couldn’t walk by. Again overall, we enjoyed our stay, the little bit of interaction we had with staff was pleasant. We checked in on a Sunday and did not have a long wait at desk to check in.
