The staff were very courteous. The room was mostly clean (under the dresser was very dusty, and there was lots of trash), but otherwise the views were great, and the room was very comfortable. If I have the chance, I will return.

The only place we stay when we go to Ocean City. Great location, plenty of parking, friendly staff, good food, 2 arcade areas! On the boardwalk, far enough from the inlet crowds, but a nice walk. Great beach location & views.
