Top Ripley's Believe It or Not! Hotel Reviews

Grand Hotel Ocean City Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was great. Technically I didn't have to leave for anything. However, I enjoyed the boardwalk walk along with the sites and dining at other places. Again restaurants in the hotel were great too"

Plim Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the roomy lobby. Lots of activities. Convenient to everything"

Majestic Hotel & Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"An underrated classic with real history and soul. A stay at The Majestic feels like stepping into a piece of boardwalk history. It is definitely a faded gem and it wears its years openly, but it offers a warmth, nostalgia, and charm that newer high-rises completely lack. With the hotels new ownership, I am hoping the much-needed property updates are forthcoming without spoiling the charm. In my experience, the off-season on the boardwalk is the best time to stay. The summertime crowds give way to solitude, turning the oceanfront porch into a private viewing terrace. Sitting out there before town wakes up, watching the vivid colors of the sunrise reflect across the Atlantic and over the deserted boardwalk planks, was worth the trip alone. You get a direct, ocean view and sound of waves without the crowds. Keep your expectations grounded: it is historic and has quirks. If you appreciate timeless coastal architecture, peaceful mornings, and an underrated historic atmosphere then the Majestic delivers an authentic, memorable stay."
