Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is located right on the beach and offers a great selection of breakfast foods at the café. The rooms are clean, spacious, and nicely equipped with a jacuzzi bathtub, but they still need some improvements. The service, particularly at the front desk, was wonderful, and the staff was nice and friendly. The dining experience was a bit pricey for what was offered, but the Italian products were enjoyable. The hotel is conveniently located out of the busiest part of Ocean City, with its own stores and restaurants for added convenience.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the location was great, being at the farther end of the boardwalk away from the noise, and the staff were friendly and accommodating, there were some downsides like noisy rooms and inconvenient setup behind the front desk. The price was fair, but some aspects like amenities and convenience could be improved.
