The hotel was nice, we had no issues. The only thing I would complain about is the beds. They were not comfortable and I woke up sore every night. The view from the balcony was amazing. And sitting out on the balcony was very relaxing. They do however, charge a ton of money for one pill of sick medication. I was sick all week, so that sucked. Ocean City is my favorite place in the world. Go check it out if you haven’t yet.

Overall a good stay. A small issue at the check in process was taken care of the next day by a personal call by the general manager, very much appreciated. Not the first time we have stayed here and likely not the last. Great location, clean, and on site parking are big positives.
