Historical building (1895!) — first hotel in Ocean City. Of course, the rooms are fully renovated and the bathrooms are modern. The porch is a very special place that gave us so much joy. Staff is genuinely nice.

The Scarborough Inn is a lovely B&B. It's historic but has been updated to give a luxury experience in an old structure. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Check in was seamless and they update you throughout your stay with helpful text messages about the front door code etc. The hot breakfast was delicious and plentiful. They even had a nice happy hour for guests. I highly recommend them.

Scarborough Inn was a very cute & cozy place to stay in Ocean City. The owner/host was always there greeting guests and mingling. Staff is very friendly. They had fresh baked cookies, coffee and tea in the afternoon. It is very walkable to restaurants and the beach. Rooms were clean and updated. Would recommend.
