This is my second time staying at the Commander Beach House. I like this place for the convenience to the boardwalk. It's very simple setup having basic amenities(refrigerator & microwave) which is all I need on my weekend get away. I will be using Commander Hotel on my next visit to Ocean City.

The room was not cleaned properly, the bathroom light flickered the entire time it was turned on, so bad that it could cause someone to have a seizure. The bathroom sink barely had any pressure. The sheets were too small for the bed and were not clean. The only good thing was the pool and the quick walk to the boardwalk

Was a nice stay for a pretty good price. Convienient walking distance for the boardwalk etc. The negatives would be the building is "loud." Footsteps are amplified, door closures are loud etc. Even when people aren't trying to be. No front desk, all the info etc is across the street at the main hotel so you're a bit on your own unless you go over there. Lastly, the parking is TIGHT and not many spots, though I didn't ask if you could use the main hotels parking or not. Overall, good stay though.
