The view i did have was an old run down building . Because the room was in a corner trying to get into the room was tricky. You had the micro-wave stand sitting right next to the door and then a wall. that had hot water tank . You can not carry your bag in on your shoulder .you and your bags would not fit through the door. The security on the door was not very good there was not additional locks on the door. The bathroom was great until you look at the tube. Hair was builded up at the bottom of the showere curtin and the tube look like it hadn't been clean in days. Soap scum was on the wall and ring around the tube. Other then the bathroom , the was nice the new 32 flat screen on the wall was good. This room was idea if you have children and need joining room. the over all stay at this hotel was good. You get what you pay for. If I had to rank this hotel compare to other that I have stay in OC i rank this 9. [collapse]Submitted by Robie R., Maryland, on March 3, 2008.

Once we arrived in our room it was very clean and everything was brand new.
The lobby was really romantic and has a very warm feel. The fireplace was cute
My daughter and I went down to the pool. The hot tub was a little green looking but overall very clean and relaxing.
Overall I would recommend this hotel for the price.[collapse]Submitted by Claire B., Maryland, on February 22, 2008.

I was disappointed in the fact that I was trying to book an Ocean FRONT room with a King bed and ended up with a oceanview room with two doubles. Unforunitly I didn't look at my paper work until after I got to my room only to discover that somehow my reservation was confirmed for the OV but I did request a King non smoking. Other than that the weekend was great. PS the pool area was a little dirty with a over usage of chlorine.[collapse]Submitted by byron c., Maryland, on February 19, 2008.

I registered with the OC.com site for an ocean front view, non smoking room. I am allergic to smoke severely. Received the confirmation by email that my room was confirmed by the hotel. I called Ocean City.com asking if it was ocean front/non smoking. I was advised yes, that's correct. I called the number that was listed on the reservation confirmation from Howard Johnson's (see attached photo) again I was told, yes I had an oceanfront, non-smoking room. When I got to the motel, I was told, I never spoke to them and even though I paid for an ocean front (I had the email reservation with me) through the Ocean City.com site, I was not getting an ocean front room and I had to take a smoking side view room due to that is what ocean city.com stated I wanted. I was advised that Ocean City.com does this all the time then expects the hotel to correct the errors. I called Ocean city.com that day and said what had happened and the gentleman said " what else can we say but sorry, we were wrong, but we can't do anything about it." I had advised the gentleman that the motel was unable to honor the request but would lower the amount of the stay, but the issue is I didn't get what I wanted and I am sick due to the smoking room. The gentleman said "I don't understand what is the problem, I see that they are working with you and have given you a lower price ..what more do you want?" I said "When you pay for a front view of the ocean/non smoking...I want a non smoking room, ocean front." Again I was told "Hey, the motel is working with you, what else can we tell you. I can't do anything more, I have apologized for the error that is all I can do."
******I did not appreciate the attitude or the arrogance of customer service representative I spoke to at Ocean City.Com. My husband and I was looking so forward to the ocean front view for our getaway..Someone misrepresented themselves, they admitted they misrepresented themselves and did nothing to correct the issue except for saying "Sorry".
**Not being able to breath/sick and coughing all the time is not romantic! **Sincerely, Deborah[collapse]Submitted by Deborah H., Pennsylvania, on October 20, 2007.
