Excellent views of the beach and ocean. The location and access to the beach is great. That is about all I can say about this hotel. The rooms are very small, and average at best. If you have more than 2 people, it'll be tight. The staircases and hallway are tight, and the common areas can get pretty loud. The... more

This was a nice little motel right on the boardwalk...it's where the boardwalk narrows, so it's quieter. We thought the location couldn't be beat....steps from the beach, a one minute walk to the beginning of the boardwalk restaurants and shops, and if we wanted just the peace of the surf, we could just walk the other way. We were there... more

When I read the reviews that this was the #1 Hotel in Ocean City I quickly made a reservation. I spoke to "John" at the property and was taken care of as if I was an old friend...unfortunately; I think expectations do not usually become reality. This is an average at BEST beach hotel. NOT very clean or well maintained.... more

I was here for vacation for one night and I must say I was not impressed. Here are positives: 1. nice folks work here. 2. close to beach. 3. On quite side of the boardwalk. This also means you'll have to walk a bit or ride shuttle bus if you want to get to fun/amusement spots on the boardwalk. 4.... more

As far as I'm concerned you can't beat the location. Ocean front on a the boardwalk but at the end so its not crowded or too noisy. The rooms were a bit dated and the window AC unit was pretty loud when it kicked in. But for the price and location, it was a small inconvenience. Staff was courteous and... more

First - to address the lost reservation listed in the review below - there is some confusion as to the "confirmation" you get when you book it and the "confirmation" you get when you've paid your first night's cash deposit by check or money order. You don't do that - your reservation is not held for more than 7 days.... more

I arrived at this motel with a confirmation in hand and was told that they could not find my reservation. I booked the room over the phone several months prior and received confirmation via email. The man and woman at the front desk told me that the man who took my reservation no longer worked there so it was not... more

We stayed here on our honeymoon last year and from check-in to check-out it was the best shore motel experience I've had my 40+ years at the Jersey shore - bar none. John and the rest of his staff are just wonderful; the rooms are clean, comfortable and perfectly located at the residential end of the boardwalk; far enough way... more

Once a year our family attends a function in Ocean City that is for our dog - it is so hard to find places that will allow dogs and even on top of that, be friendly about it and not charge ridiculous pet fees. Ocean Front was reasonable, friendly & the cleanest place we stayed at in our 5 years... more

We had a very pleasant weekend to start the summer. Rooms are Clean and Staff could not be nicer... John (manager) goes out of his way to make your stay easy and enjoyable.. We look forward to our next trip to the shore and we will be back to oceanfront. Grandchildren like the convenience of the beach, right out the... more
