    Just that they could have been clearer about the sister holes ammenities and what was available to us. Also their office is closed overnight. So if you need something you can’t go to the office.

    The location was great! Loved that the hotel was dog friendly. They do charge an additional $15 per dog per night at the hotel itself. Only down side was the person at the front desk told us that the sister hotel- castle in the sand- their amenities were also welcome for us to blue but that was not the case. Kind of disappointing but it was still a nice stay. Castle in the sand does have. Great breakfast buffet!

    Had a water leak from room above ours, but resolved quickly. Beach House Restaurant (at your sister property) was just ok.

    Quiet, clean & roomy. Nice pool. No evidence that pets stay here (no bad odors or animal hair in the room- no human hair either!) Short walk to the beach & some attractions.

    In comparison to other hotels of same caliber I felt price was pretty high but cleanliness & great accommodation took some of the sting out of high cost. I did wait until 3 weeks before trip to plan & did it on a sight so there's that. Also the mattress wasn't the best...sunken in in center pretty badly. Was soft but broken down to much. My daughter said hers was good. Everything else was great.

    First of all I was astonished that they were able to accommodate us with parking earlier than check in time at 3pm but then they also allowed us early check in as they already had rooms cleaned & ready to go. I was then pleasantly surprised at how clean the entire place was!!! Usually I stay in more expensive places further up Ocean City but was a last min trip so not many options at time. But I was very pleasantly surprised at the amount of staff busy keeping after EVERYTHING and the cleanliness as well as the wonderful addition of early check in. Lady at the desk was super sweet & helpful. Probably the best check in experience I've ever had in OC. Huge huge props to all the staff there!!! Any time I had a question, whomever I asked was very kind & helpful. All of them also greeted us every pass! I found that refreshing in comparison to other places that staff seems miserable most times.

    They could have used more luggage carts since most guests have cages or crates. Finding a cart delayed our checkout but staff was understanding of the situation.

    Everything - only a block from the beach with no streets to cross. Exceptional area for pets to walk. Pool was pristine. Room was large and beds were comfortable. Staff was friendly and ready to assist

    Distance to the beach was great. Dogs had a proper place to walk.

    I did not expect the room to be so spacious. It was so close to the beach. The pool was nice and warm. Staff were great and friendly. It did NOT smell of dog pee. My dogs had a proper place to walk, pee and poop. The guy was super friendly.
