We had a fantastic stay at this hotel, and we'll definitely be back! The location is perfect – you get direct beach access while still being nicely set away from the busiest crowds. This made going back and forth to the beach with the kids an absolute breeze.
Our room was clean and spacious enough for our family. The oceanfront balcony offered an absolutely beautiful view, which we enjoyed immensely.
The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our entire visit, making us feel welcome. We especially loved the outdoor pool area with its swim-up bar; it was a huge hit and had a wonderfully fun atmosphere for everyone.

The hotel is in a great location—easy access to the beach, and the pool area was very nice and relaxing. It was convenient and family-friendly, which we really appreciated. However, the carpet in the room felt old and didn’t seem very clean, which took away from the overall comfort. Still, we enjoyed our stay and would consider coming back if the rooms were updated.

I loved it. We unfortunately went the weekend of a lot of sporting tournaments (kids), so the amenities were crowded and noisy, but apart from that, the hotel is pretty nice and located in a calm area of Ocean City. Check-in was smooth, parking cost was affordable, plenty of parking, and they gave us a gift card for the restaurant downstairs.
I booked the King Suite Ocean Pool View, which is the upgraded rooms (Note: Only pool and ocean view rooms are updated rooms). To me, the decor was still a little dated. The kitchen and bathroom area seem to be the areas that were mostly updated, but still a nice, clean, and spacious room. The elevators were a little sketchy lol.
The pool, jacuzzi, swim up bar, beach access, fire pits, and outdoor bar are the best part of this hotel, I loved it! We unfortunately didn’t swim because of all of the kids, but it was very clean.
I was a little disappointed that the swim up bar closed early, but I think it was because of the rain and the kids being rowdy. There is a bar across the street and in the restaurant in the lobby. The indoor pool and jacuzzi could use some upgrading.
Overall, I would definitely book again as it was a nice hotel, view, and amenities.
