Room: Nice and spacious. Ceiling showed signs of wear, but, beds/carpet were clean. LCD is nice and free wifi is great. Only complaint is that AC didn't cool room off as much as I would have liked. Seemed weak.
Breakfast..ate at onsite restaurant. Good food and decent price.
Location..can't beat 12 st. Near everything.
Overall, I would stay here again if those price discounts are still out there.[collapse]Submitted by Damian F., Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2009.

Last year my inlaws stayed in an oceanfront room, it had been renovated......new t.v., furniture, balcony doors, draperies, bathroom everything was very very nice....it even had a nice small outdoor pool!!, we booked on a early bird saver deal, expecting the same renovations...........got there...checked in....got put on the 2nd floor, hated it......and they were gracious and accomodating and put us on the best oceanview they had........on the 7th floor...however, the flat screen went out several times....maintenance came and pounded on it and it seemed to work again......double beds certainly could have been queens, the "remodel" had the same furniture, the room in general was certainly not as nice as the oceanfront room we saw the year before..........the renovations in general were basically a "don't look in the corners" do it yourself type of job.........but the beds were comfy the room was clean, the staff was nice.........and I got what I expected for the most part......I just wish the ocean side renovations were as nice as the oceanfront ones. The biggest dissappointment there was that the cute outdoor pool that we had seen last year was GONE!!! They sold that area to Fausto's Bistro for outdoor seating!!! That was a huge disappointment because it is still being advertised 2 pool one indoor and one out........but I NEVER see anyone swimming in the indoor one even at night cause it looks gross. In general I still like the HOJO.......I still Love ocean city........I would still book there again........but word to the wise...if you have a few extra hundreds laying around...spring for the ocean front..........just my opinion.......[collapse]Submitted by Denise M., Ohio, on July 6, 2009.

Unfortunately nobody told us that the outdoor pool had been permanently closed, and there was a problem with the indoor pool so we could not use it one day of our stay. Overall we still enjoyed our stay despite a few disappointments.[collapse]Submitted by Charlotte S., Maryland, on June 23, 2009.

We had a great time and especially loved sitting on our bed and watching the waves in the ocean. Wish the weather was better though!
