Top Ripley's Believe It or Not! Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn & Suites Ocean City by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This room was a diamond in the rough. I was pleasantly surprised with the entire establishment. I booked a room last minute (day of) and wasn't too hopeful. I just wanted to make sure I had a bed and a nice bathroom but I was in a time crunch. I booked it immediately and hoped for the best. When I arrived to the hotel, I was greeted by very helpful and nice staff who also gave me a little goody bag at check in. I was there for Country Calling music festival and they gave out clear bags with 2 emergency ponchos, koozies, 2 water bottles with electrolytes, ear plugs and the schedule! A small gift is such a huge gesture! The contents inside were incredible, very thankful for the bag. When I checked into my room, that's when I realized I had booked a suite. It was basically an apartment and when I checked in - I told all my friends about the great find and how I could basically live there, it was that cozy and clean. When you walk in, it was a sitting area/living room type area, then you walk through a hallway of a full kitchen with a big bathroom and then into your bed room that overlooks the boardwalk and ocean view. I was on the top floor, it was incredible. This hotel is on 17th street and the venue is at the end of the boardwalk - 1st. About a mile and a half walk but I enjoyed the room so much! I wish I had time to partake in the 1 of 3 pools I believe. The outdoor ones looked incredible but I believe there is also an outside one. One day, I must come back!"

"We have stayed here the past 3 years for the country music conccert. If we have had any problems - we tell them at the desk and when we come back for the night - the issue has been corrected"

Hotel Monte Carlo Ocean City

8/10 Good

"The hotel was in a great spot for what we were there for. The staff were very pleasant. The room was clean and large. The only complaint is there were no non skid appliqués in the bottom of the tub nor a bath mat. Needless to say we had to stay in one spot in the back of the tub and lean our heads to shampoo + no towel. rack or anything in the tub to hold on to.. Very scary and disappointing when you needed a hot shower after hours of standing at a concert! Otherwise an enjoyable stay."
