Dated Castle but King/Queen experience

Please don't miss a great place for a great price due to the estatics. This hotel is absolutely amazing. Everything right at your finger up including beach and food. The host was Christina I believe was beyond courteous. She assisted me in detail via phone and because it was my husband birthday she left a sand pale with wine and seashells in it. And everyone was friendly there. Very clean and very nice suite.Spacious and felt right at home. The place is dated but it it was worth it. Still a 10. The only issue I had was room service did not change the sheets on our dirty bed after day 2. We cleaned our space each day but that day we left so we can come back to fresh sheets. The bed was made but same dirty sheets. We didn't complain at all cause we were still satisfied. We just slept on the second bed.

As “out dated” as people claim Ocean City to be as a whole, this place knocked it out of the park. It was hard to find anything wrong with this place. You have to REALLY search for something wrong. And what you’ll find is MAYBE a tiny piece of wall paper starting to peel. That’s it.
