Top Ocean City Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn & Suites Ocean City by IHG

8/10 Good

"My room did partially overlook the beach which was nice. Everything was clean but I was disappointed in the jacuzzi tub in the room… this jacuzzi tub was part of the shower/tub combo in the bathroom which is not how it was in the pictures advertised (showed the tub in the room by the beds) AND only 2 jets were working, the rest were broken….so it was more like just taking a regular bath in a deep soaking tub. I was also shocked that I had to pay $10 extra to park at the hotel when the hotel is a ghost town this time of year and I could have just parked on the side street for free 100ft away from the parking spot up front…getting charged $10 for parking felt like a scam. "

Princess Royale Oceanfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed at well over 10 different hotels in Ocean City. Hands-down, this is my favorite. I’m sorry it took me so long to stay there. The rooms are outstanding, very spacious and perfect for a family vacation. The pool is large enough where you don’t feel like everybody is on top of each other. I appreciated the tiki bar adjacent to the pool. Having a spa in house is also wonderful. I loved my facial. There is a Starbucks in the lobby, which is very convenient although there is Keurig coffee pot within the room. I know this is a small thing, but I really appreciated the amount of storage in the bathroom. For those of us who travel with children, we know that comes with a lot of toiletries and it was nice to have a spot for everything. Plenty of cabinet space to put clothes away. Having a full-size refrigerator was a great plus. I can honestly say the only thing that was challenging was their shower curtains. We had a hard time getting them to remain closed to allow to prevent water from getting on the floor. This hotel is oceanfront. Although our room was a partial ocean view, it still very nice. I i’m looking forward to our next day. I recommend this resort without reservation."
