The hotel is going through some much needed renovations, so there were some bumps along the way, but the staff is very helpful and friendly. You can't beat the location if you want to be in the middle of everything.

We really liked the location. Right on the boardwalk is a major plus and the ocean front view was amazing. We stayed on the 7th floor and when you entered the room it had a musky odor to it at the entrance.The shower water was only lukewarm. The sink stopper didn't work. I will say that the staff was very courteous and friendly. Great people who work there.

Location is great and the room was spacious. Rooms and hotel need updating. Door to room was difficult to open, it took a few tries before we could get it open. The jacuzzi tub/ shower combo was odd. Not ideal for taking a shower. The water just ran down the ledge and onto the floor. Water pressure was low and hot water ran out during the weekend when it was busy. Beds were hard and not very comfortable. The cleaning staff did a great job each day cleaning the rooms and they smelled clean. Elevators worked on and off during our stay. There were times we had to take the steps and the stairwell smelled like urine. The main parking lot was always full, people were just waiting to get a space closer to the hotel. There is a small overflow parking lot across the street, but not ideal when unloading or loading. Staff was friendly.

The hotel was great. Great location, room was amazing, maids actually did an amazing job of cleaning, but the beds were HORRIBLE. The beds were so bad that even my little children had a bad time sleeping and they can sleep anywhere. I’m so sad about these bed because besides that everything else was great but we can’t returned because we barely got any sleep and after being at the beach all day with children all you want is a good night of sleep.

No hot water. One of the elevators wasn’t working which led to 10-15 minute wait times for the one working elevator. Room was outdated and had bugs. When talking with hotel staff about a refund, the woman at the front desk was extremely rude and refused to answer basic questions and raised her voice at me in the crowded lobby. Terrible experience, do not recommend at all.

The only positive to this review was the location being right on the boardwalk, otherwise I will NEVER stay here again. My husband and I have been coming to OCMD for over 10+ years, each year we try out a new hotel/ location, albeit always right on the boardwalk. I booked MONTHS in advance, only to be told the night I arrived ( after 10pm, mind you) they could not find our reservation in the system. We booked for four nights oceanfront. Put us in a suite, and told to come back down the next morning around 8am when the manager arrives, fair! I'll take it, except room AC was barely working, ants all over the counter, sliding glass doors were covered in rust and stuck on the track. The hot/cold water on the shower were opposite and the hot water non existent. Next morning, we arrive to speak to the manager, only to be told to come back three separate times before she arrived at 12pm. Told me it was not the hotels fault and that there was nothing they could do other then give us an extra night free. Absolutely disgusting place

The main plus is the excellent view of the ocean from this 8th floor oceanfront room. The room was fairly large, and came equipped with microwave and minifridge. On the downside, we had no hot water for two days, the staff showed no urgency in that regard, and they offered us no compensation for this large inconvenience. Moreover, they added a $50 surcharge for parking, even though there was no mention of that when we made the reservation. An when we tried to check in 3 hours early, they wanted $50 for that as well, but we declined. Maid service came only once during our 3 night stay.
