Top Ripley's Believe It or Not! Hotel Reviews

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."

Francis Scott Key Family Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great place for kids to have fun and enjoy a vacation. It was close to everything and the food onsite was good. The room was beautifully clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay again. Thank you."

Plim Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

Cambria Hotel Ocean City - Bayfront

Ocean 1 Hotel and Suites

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"

Hotel Monte Carlo Ocean City

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place"

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."
