We had a great two-night getaway in a premium oceanfront room. The flusher broke in the bathroom during our stay and was almost immediately fixed (though it wasn’t a big deal for us and could’ve waited). The owner was very friendly and attentive. We loved having the balcony to relax on and the proximity to all the things on the boardwalk. We will definitely be returning!

The level "excellent" offered as an option in this survey for how helpful the staff was in an insufficient measure. I have never felt more welcomed and appreciated when checking in for a stay. We were treated warmly and were even given a small history of the founding and survival of the business through the years. We were made to feel very special.

Good room size and right on the boardwalk. Room was clean and had a nice balcony. Only down side was the shop under us with music during the day,but you expect that at a busy part of Ocean City. Overall well worth the price. Just remember this is not a Marriott or the Ritz.

This place is the closest I was able to get to the boardwalk activities due to my mother’s ailing health and couldn’t walk far. It was a last minute booking I have come to regret. It would have been a wiser choice to sleep in the car. This place is a dump. No, it is an overpriced dump! A dump that charges $400 a night. This place is a total joke. The place reeked of marijuana. The room reminds me of the low budget horror movies. The faucet had mold around it. The shower had mold. The floor looked like a million cockroaches had a good ol’ time celebrating new year 1999. When the adjacent room’s door open or close, we heard the slammed and our door vibrated like SWAT was trying to break it down. It scared my son. Hell it scared me. If you are a tattooed up, weed smoking, loud, and obnoxious person, this place is a place where you can call home. For everyone else, you’ll have a bad time.
