Great location, room and bathroom small

Great location to enjoy the beach and boardwalk. Needed more drawer space in room and counter space in bathroom. Food at restaurant was very good.

Great view, great restaurant, ok hotel

We were in Ocean City for the weekend and wanted to get into our room to relaxand prepare for the evening's activities. When we got to the room and opened the door the beds weren't made and there was stuff from the previousguest, thinking that there was still someone staying there, we went downstairs to inform the front desk. We were then assigned a different room which was even more so occupied and returned to the previous room whereby it took three attempts to get the room cleaned. The staff was nice butif there's a do not disturb sign on the people will respect your privacy in so much that the room might remain a mess. Regardless, the oceanfront view is great, the room is decent and the Satellite restaurant attached has great food.

Be sure to give the Satellite a try. The food is really great despite what you might think about the rundown appearance. Great portions, good prices, a must try if staying at this hotel or nearby.

Definitely third-rate

location was great - everything else was a disappointment. Very small room for 3 adults, noisy, dripping air conditioner, pool was closed most of the time we were there, could not reach light switch over bathroom sink, no shower curtain when we arrived, room keys often did not work.

Great View, liveable room

The view was amazing, right above the boardwalk as advertised. It was very convenient for just walking out the door and onto the beach or boardwalk. The kitchen area was fine (fridge, toaster oven, microwave, sink) but the cleaning lady does absolutely nothing for the rooms except change towels on the floor (no cleaning of kitchen area, floors, extra shampoos, etc). You can tell that the hotel is a bit rundown, esp. looking at the bathrooms. But then again, just about everything in OC could use a make-over. Location is GREAT if you want privacy and peace and quiet. It's not so great if you expect to walk to a bunch of attractions and on-the-boardwalk activities/restaurants. The biggest problem was definitely the price...booking last minute just didn't work for us this time. For what we paid, we could have stayed at a 4 star hotel in Hawaii instead of a 2 star in OC.

Don't hold your breath

The majority of the staff could not have been more UNcaring. The toilet ran. Faucets leaked. Walls (especially our ceiling) were paper thin. The noise was unbearable. We were on the first floor. There was quite a bit of trash on the ground outside our porch. It stayed there all four days we were there. Don't put the DO NOT DISTURB sign on your door. If you do, have it off by 9:00 AM. If the maid comes around and it's on, SHE NEVER COMES BACK. Our room was made up once in four days. However, we were able to get clean towels (at the front desk). Would NEVER come back to this hotel.
