    I didn't like the fact that you had to go to the main office/front desk to get ice. They have bags of ice in a flat freezer and poor the ice into whatever cup/container you have. There are no ice machines so if you are on the top/3rd floor you have to walk down to get the ice. The bathroom sink is the size of a sink that would be in a "tiny house." Wall air conditioner unit so it can ɓe noisy. It appears this Inn used to be a drive up motel. The 2nd part of the Inn, in another building is more like a hotel. Strange. The pool is the size of a extrs large jacuzzi. 😁 Other than what I have written the room fit out needs. We only needed a place to lay our head at night since we spent the day outside. I would rent here again during the off season if the price was right.

    Location! Location! Location! Close, within a short walk, to the boardwalk.

    No lift - have to climb stairs to upper floors. Breakfast choices not too much - cold cereals and processed foods.

    Just a couple dozen metres walk from the ocean, and right in the heart of OCMD and all that there is to do on the Boardwalk. Great location and a very walkable city centre. Easy access to loads of restaurants, shops, and FUN stuff to do.

    Breakfast was very bland. Yogurt, oatmeal, small box of cereal, apple, frozen sausage sandwiches. From the previous reviews, I was expecting a little more.

    Location was great. The staff were very friendly. Allowed us to use the pool early, check in early, very polite. I'd stay again.

    Sink was kinda clogged, not a big deal.

    Breakfast was good. Choice of breakfast sandwich, yogurt, cereal, think I saw apples, coffee, juice, just the basics to get you goin. The room was small as expected, clean and cold, had a small fridge and microwave. It was cool.

    The open shower let's too much water go all over the entire bathroom floor. Should have a bumper. Tracks the water all over the floor in the room. Had to use too many towels to wipe up the floor to dry it.

    The short walk to the beach

    There was a strong fishy smell coming from the fridge. I did let the front desk know and they gabe me cleaning solution that was able to take most of the smell out. I also didn’t like that they didn’t have hot breakfast there.

    The room was nice and clean and i loved that the location was right across the street from the boardwalk

    We enjoyed our stay. An added bonus would be if beach towels could be provided.

    The Inn is location with walking access (2-5min) to the beach right in the center of ocean city. Good for a simple weekend getaway. It’s a small Inn, no kitchen in the rooms but has small fridge. Small breakfast with coffee, cereal, and breakfast sandwiches (the ones you put in the microwave) are available in the morning.

    I did not like that the lights were on timers and the pool chlorine was way too strong.

    I liked that the room was clean, the staff was polite, and there was breakfast every morning I was there.

    The tiny fridge never worked. No one was there at the office at 8:00 a.m. he came late. The fridge was never replaced. The room was so tiny, I was disappointed. The continental breakfast hours on the door indicate 9:00 a.m., but the voucher states 8:00 a.m., and no one was available at 8:00 a.m.

    I like the location

    We put on our window to not service our room and they came in anyways. Shower pressure is super light and bathroom sink doesn’t drain fast at all.

    The proximity of the beach and boardwalk.
