Great for a family vacation

We found the carousel a great place to be! The room was clean and spacious. The staff was pleasant and helpful! There was soo much to do there! The pools were clean and well kept, We played ping pong, had ice cream, ate meals, swam,shopped, watched free ice shows nightly and even ice skated!! The beach was nice and we received free beach chairs while we stayed there. and the glass elevator was a huge hit with the kids! also they have a parking garage next door so parking was never an issue!! We had an amazing vacation and would recommend it to anyone!

Good for all Occasions and Needs

I was very impressed with the ease with which I was able to check-in. We loved our room. It faced the ocean so that was a very romantic way to spend Our birthday weekend. The room was very clean and suitable for our needs. We only wished we could stay longer. Because we didn't estimate the drive being so long, we would have loved it if check-in were earlier and check-out to be later. That would have given us more time to spend on the beach before having to check out on monday morning.

Very family friendly

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at the Carousel very much. Check in went very smoothly. We especially enjoyed the ice skating show at the built in ice rink within the hotel in the evening. Our room was comfortable and the staff did a wonderful job of maintaining the room and meeting our needs. Everyone that we encountered was courteous and pleasant. The hotel's location was in close proximity to the boardwalk. We also appreciated the complimentary beach chairs that were provided druing our stay as we enjoyed the beach in front of our hotel. We do plan on returing to Ocean City again!

Unbelievable!

This was the first time that we had stayed at this hotel as well as even going to Ocean City, Md., and I have to say that it was UNBELIEVABLE! I just wished we had stayed longer! This hotel was extremely family friendly and the location to the beach was fantastic! I would definitely recommend to everybody!

Great View

The Carousel Resort Hotel is very well managed, everyone we talked with was very helpful. The room provided a wonderful view with a balcony, and the grounds were well kept. We enjoyed swimming in the warm outdoor pool and in the evening the indoor pool. The food in the restaurant was well prepared. We sat on the balcony wishing we could stay another day for the weather was perfect and at this time of year the beach was not crowded.

Excellent choice

Nice, clean hotel right on the beach. Walk through the dunes to the ocean. Comfortable bed. Enjoyed the non-smoking room (and floor). Planning to come back again and have a family reunion at this establishment.
