friendly staff easy check in and out Room was nice and clean
The hotel manger Vlad Paic was very professional, courteous and attentive to the needs of his quest. I had a few issues with the dvd player and toilet and both were fixed within a matter of minutes. I've stayed here about 4 times and look forward to my next visit.
We stayed at the H.I. Oceanfront during this weekends Sunfest. Loved the pool bar and grill as usual but was surprised that they closed for grill/outdoor bar for the season on Saturday night, not Sunday. No big deal...just surprised that they didn't stay open the entire weekend. Our room was very spacious and the beds and pull out sofa were very comfortable. Loved the full kitchen and really loved the beautiful view from out Eastern Oceanfront room. The morning sunrise was breathtaking. I will definitely stay here on all my OC visits.
We just spent a mini vacation there. Even though you are in Ocean City Maryland, the hotel accommodations and staff makes you feel like you are at a resort. Everything you need is right at your fingertips. Not our first time staying there and will not be our last.
Even though the hotel is conveniently located near the ocean, it seems to be in a desperate need of cleaning and updating. The carpet in the hallway and inside the room is filthy and old. Same is true for the hotel overall, except the lobby which looks nicer.
Staff was accommodating; I arrived late but not a problem. Room was beautiful and comfortable. Fireplace!
Room had a nice view of ocean, disappointed in very unfriendly staff at front desk...not helpful either. Hotel is old and it shows, beds were comfortable and overall room relatively clean.
Surprisingly good hotel for an end of the season get away. Did not expect it to be as good as we found it to be! Could have been a bit cheaper. But overall, was a good experience.
Great service. Awesome outdoor pool and bar area.
Great place for off season getaway. Proximity to all areas af interest. Easy to get in and out of.
Great food, polite, helpful staff and a great view of the ocean from the balcony!
Lauren and the rest of the staff were very friendly and made our stay flare at. Thank you!
We were met by cheerful and helpful staff at the front desk. Everything worked and room supplies were in their places.
