Food options were good and we appreciated the 24/7 coffee station. It’s within driving distance to the Ocean City attractions. Our room had a very strong musty smell and hotel management didn’t change our room. They came to spray some air freshener instead. Window was missing one blackout curtain so we had to concoct a way to cover it. At the bottom of the one curtain there was gunk. Basic cleaning standards were subpar for this type of hotel. Probably wouldn’t come back again.

The guy in the front desk gave us the wrong room. So we settled in and went out but when we got back we couldn’t get in so we had to go back downstairs and get a new room and resign paperwork and I find numerous charges on my credit card. I’m not happy about this mistake which was avoidable if he would of looked at the id I gave him and spelled my name correctly

all was good except the air conditioner sounded like a train. Husband had to go buy ear plugs so he could sleep. It was way too hot not to have the air running...Also no hot tub, just a pool. All in all it was a nice place to stay.

Fun Trip

Got to the hotel pretty late at night, but there was still someone working the drint desk at the front desk. Didnt have to ring a bell or wait for someone to come out of the back. Hotel was very clean and smelled good. Room was big, clean and comfortable. Bed was very comfortable. Bathroom was clean as well. My only wish is that the shower had a handheld shower head. Would definitely stay here again. The room had a microwave and small fridge, but wasnt listed on the room details. A very nice bonus.
