Top Ripley's Believe It or Not! Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Ocean City / Oceanfront

8/10 Good

"Clean room and hotel. Beach view was amazing and staff were super helpful. I’d book again!"

Grand Hotel Ocean City Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent

"It was my first time staying at this hotel or any hotel that had multiple shops and restaurants. I loved it. It was within walking distance to everything and the view was excellent."

Park Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great, Mattresses were a little firm for my taste but still slept well. If the hotel is not full, it would be nice to allow an extra vehicle to pay to park overnight. The staff was so nice and helpful . I love the decor! Will be back!"

Rideau Oceanfront Motel

8/10 Good

"The rooms were clean… appropriate expectations for the price. Basically, senior week level motel conversion- Wonderfully fun for what it is… Leave your designer everything at home!"

Beach Bum Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We found the room, staff, and location to be excellent. Just a 5 minute walk from anything you could want: beach, boardwalk, shops, etc. The room was a bit small and felt smaller because we were 2 people with 2 beds in the room, and the only place to fit the fridge was between the 2 beds, which was kind of funny. The overall vibe is definitely on point, though. The staff was very knowledgable and friendly. There was a spigot on the side of the building where we could wash the sand off. That was super helpful. We never used the pool because there's so much else to do nearby. The breakfast is basically a bunch of takeaway snacks. So the fact we were charged $18 per day for a "resort fee" when we had the same amenities at our previous hotel without being charged extra felt a bit scammy. It's not a resort. It's a motel. And these are things that are usually just offered if available. I would have probably still booked it if they just charged a bit more. Charging extra upon arrival knowing people can't do anything about it. Eh, not the greatest business practice in my opinion. You don't need to pay extra for the beach view. There are buildings in the way of most of it. It is SUPER close to the beach though, which is worth paying for. Those negatives aside, we would definitely recommend staying there, especially if you're on a budget. The surrounding city is not cheap, but at least you can know the place you stay is affordable."

Cambria Hotel Ocean City - Bayfront

10/10 Excellent

"It’s all good"

Ocean 1 Hotel and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We love the staff, cleanliness, the room, and the location. We have stayed there before and will stay there again."

Madison Beach Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great, it was our 46 anniversary, we have probably stayed at the Madison Beach Motel over 100 times. We would say very close to the best it has looked. Great Staff. Thanks"

Majestic Hotel & Apartments

8/10 Good

"The hotel had been renovated recently but the room I was in had not been updated. The bathroom had a very old sink and toilet and the towel holder was rusty. The bed was comfortable, the air conditioner worked, and there was a mini-fridge. The lobby area was clean and the staff was very friendly. There is an extra fee to pay for their parking lot and it's a little difficult to navigate the lot but as parking in the area is very limited, it's necessary to deal with."
