Worst experience ever. Dirty. No hot water. Half the outlets were broken. You had to beg for towels. I found crusty socks. I have photos to prove it. We've been going to Ocean City for 20. First time we left disgusted.

Not happy with service

The room was very spacious and comfortable and it was great having a side view of the ocean and just being a few feet from the boardwalk! On the down side they only clean rooms on Wednesday and Saturday...so I called Wednesday morning to be sure our room was being cleaned and they assured me it would be. When we got back to our room at 9:00 pm, nothing had been touched...no new towels, no toilet paper..etc! I called the desk and they did bring up towels but made no effort to reschedule cleaning our room...so room wasn't cleaned or supplies replenished for the whole week we were there! Also early morning truck deliveries were right outside our room which made sleeping past 8 am pretty difficult!

This is a nice hotel with a friendly staff and is very conveniently located on the boardwalk. We stayed Sept 10th through Sept 13th and with parking, we sometimes ended up in the overflow parking lot which is about two blocks away, because of some type of motorcycle event going on in the area with hundreds of bikers in the area. Our dislike is that the bathtub/ shower does not have a "grab" bar to prevent a slip and fall.

My new OC home away from home

Loved this hotel…first time here and I can’t say enough about it! We stayed in the suites building: huge room, such a comfortable bed and linens, spa tub, kitchen, close to the pool, etc… The staff was so kind and efficient and the hotel was 1/2 block from the boardwalk and all of the places we love. I’ve stayed at some pretty gross hotels on the boardwalk that had decent reviews…this isn’t one of them! Loved, loved loved this hotel! Thank you Tidelands for an awesome stay!
