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.

Lovely, relaxing weekend

The staff are top notch. We felt instantly comfortable and charmed by the place. The night we arrived, they put some out cold beverages and cookies. We were exhausted from driving, so just being able to chill on the porch after checking in with a beverage transitioned us from "travel" mode to "relaxed" mode. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and breakfast both days was delicious. We will definitely be back. Thank you for an amazing weekend getaway!

The rooms were really comfortable and clean. The bathrooms were very nice as well. There were little things like cereal, tea, coffee, popcorn, oatmeal, available at all times. The breakfast in the morning was good. The outdoor patio was wonderful to relax on, and there were interesting books to read and antiques everywhere. The staff were all so incredibly helpful and friendly. Sne, Monica, Dawn, and Jackie, and two young ladies who served us at breakfast were awesome! There was even a happy hour every night where some light alcoholic beverages and sodas were put out. Really nice place where I would stay again.
