Ocean City, Maryland: Family-Friendly Boardwalk next to the Atlantic
Along Ocean City’s century-old boardwalk, you can savor wild-caught blue crab, play old-fashioned arcade games, and watch candy makers spin colorful saltwater taffy. The lively boardwalk, which stretches for 3 miles along Maryland’s eastern shore, helped earn Ocean City a spot on USA Today’s list of the "10 great places to have some fun on a boardwalk." Kids can ride a ferris wheel, carousel, and many other amusements at Jolly Roger at the Pier.
Assateague Island National Seashore—a 37-mile stretch of salt marshes running from Ocean City down to Virginia—offers a peaceful reprieve from the boardwalk’s constant activity. The island’s famous wild horses gallop on the shores, and you can can climb up a vintage, candy-striped lighthouse, or hike the seaside forests to spot birds, including great horned owls, ruby-crowned kinglets, and great blue herons.

The room was spacious and clean. I had an ocean view so I was able to look down at the boardwalk and the ocean. It was fantastic. I was there during the virus and was very satisfied. I only had contact with the front desk, and she was very nice, but I didn’t need much. It’s great to go off season because of the rate. I also liked the direct access right to the boardwalk from the hotel. Overall, I’m glad I choose this hotel.

Great service and clean rooms! The staff was super friendly and helpful - they were able to answer any questions that we had. We had a partial view balcony room. Our room was very clean! It looks like the hotel was recently remodeled/updated. Would definitely recommend and stay there again. It's also located at a great place on the boardwalk!

Three night stay The hotel is nice and the rooms are all updated. The decor and beds were nice. The bathroom is small but very nice and modern. The patio door was so easy to open and close which is a great feature. The patio chairs were nice and sturdy. The only real issue I had was that the hot tub wasn’t working and the pool only has ladders to get in and out. I couldn’t get in because I have a bad shoulder so basically not handicap friendly. The pool was also cloudy which threw me off a little bit. My kids still swam in it though. The front desk lady at check in was beyond pleasant. The room service ladies were also very nice. The parking garage was a tad unpleasant because it had no elevator. All in all it was good and I’d come again but I do think I’d see if a different hotel had a better access pool for handicap individuals.

Very average hotel It's a very average hotel. The location on the boardwalk was decent. People at the front desk were friendly. On the weekend, this was >$200/night and for that price, it is just overpriced. Accommodations are very dated. The room was clean upon arrival, but lots of blemishes if you look closely. They use artificial fresheners to nauseating amounts. Beds were comfortable, but rooms are so tiny. Free coffee was in the lobby, but we didn't try.
