One of a kind property, 1895 historical house with lots of charm. Very close to the beach and shops.The staffs were very accommodating and friendly. The Breakfast was very good. The room was small but cozy it had everything you need. The bathroom was big and comfortable. The only drawback with the room where I stayed is the fact that the mattress needed more attention. In other words, could use a new mattress.

The Scarborough Inn was the first bed and breakfast that we stayed at in Ocean City, and we were pleasantly surprised. When my husband suggested staying there, I was hesitant because we usually stay at hotel or home. I was concerned that the usual amenities that we experienced would not be available in a bed and breakfast. However, I was wrong. Our room was spacious and modern with a king sized bed, which was very comfortable. There was plenty of storage space for our clothes and a closet with wooden hangers and a steam iron. We were impressed with the roomy bathroom and shower and pump bottles filled with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I needn’t be concerned that we had forgotten our blow dryer at home because the Inn had included one in the bathroom. We loved the self serve station just outside our room with extra towels, facecloths, soap, etc. The breakfasts were delicious with generous servings, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. There were special touches like coffee, lemonade and fresh baked cookies available at the entrance. However, our room was very noisy at certain times. It turns out that the kitchen was right next store and we could hear the banging of the pots and pans. Our room was on the first floor and at night there was a lot of noise over head like someone was moving furniture. Parking was not ideal because the adjacent parking lot was usually full and charged $15 a day for parking. On the whole we highly recommend the Scarboro

Historical building (1895!) — first hotel in Ocean City. Of course, the rooms are fully renovated and the bathrooms are modern. The porch is a very special place that gave us so much joy. Staff is genuinely nice.

The Scarborough Inn is a lovely B&B. It's historic but has been updated to give a luxury experience in an old structure. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Check in was seamless and they update you throughout your stay with helpful text messages about the front door code etc. The hot breakfast was delicious and plentiful. They even had a nice happy hour for guests. I highly recommend them.

Scarborough Inn was a very cute & cozy place to stay in Ocean City. The owner/host was always there greeting guests and mingling. Staff is very friendly. They had fresh baked cookies, coffee and tea in the afternoon. It is very walkable to restaurants and the beach. Rooms were clean and updated. Would recommend.
