Enjoyed our stay and loved the pet friendliness. Staff was very pleasant and accommodating. The complementary breakfast buffet was very satisfactory. Room and linens were clean and beds were very comfortable. The only negative I can say is the furnishings are a little dated and could possibly use some updating.

Old- stale date property The room had a horrible aroma. We had to visit a local Walmart to purchase cleaning supplies and room air fresheners to get the old musty smell out of the room. The noise from the AC kept us up half the night and the icing on the cake.... check out time is scheduled for 11am. My family and i were still in the process of getting ourselves together to depart and a representative from the hotel decided that he would enter our room even with the do not disturb sign on the door. When i asked him why he enter our room, he stated no English. The front end staff member was sympathetic to an extent. She wrote her name on a piece of paper and said here is $100 off your next stay. I wouldnt recommend this hotel to anyone. It will not be a next stay.

The carpet needs a deep cleaning due to unpleasant odors in several areas on the second floor. We had booked three nights but only stayed for two. Additionally, please be aware that this property is located outside of Ocean City Island. There's another hotel with the same brand that is beachfront. Don’t be swayed by the pictures—make sure to verify the address before making a reservation
