This was my first trip to Ocean City with four children, three 15 year olds and a 9 year old. The hotel was easy to find and the staff was very nice. Our room was an oceanfront and the view was beautiful. I liked that we were right on the boardwalk on the quiet end. The rooms were clean and... More

We stayed there for a week. I was told it was an ocean front room.....yeah right! Get into the room, the door opens to a stoned area between HJ's and the next hotel, the patio door opens to the pool! Where was the ocean? Not to be found (at least to see). If we walked down 2 hallways, down a... More

Spent 3 nights here with our 3 older children. It was a perfect location, still on the boardwalk but away from the craziness. Wish there was a little more to do closer by but its only a 15 minutes walk to a cute little outside bar along the boardwalk and the tram will easily take you to the pier for... More

Our stay at Howard Johnson, 24th Street, just mediocre. The rugs were filthy; our white socks were black from walking around. The pool’s lounge chair mats were worn and in need of replacement. The blonde lady, who was some sort of a manager, was rude to guests and employees. One morning she was outside the office, poolside, screaming at employees... More

The Howard Johnson hotel was rated a # 3 star hotel... What a joke... The air conditioner didn't work, the room smelled like mode, and when we walked in the room the rugs were so dirty that our feet were black.... But the worst thing of all was when my #2 year old ask mommy what is that in the... More

The first floor room overlooked the boardwalk, which was nice. The first morning, very early I might add, someone was BANGING on our sliding glass door and woke us up. When we answered the door, the man just walked away saying nothing !?! The a/c was okay, but could have been cooler. The bath was small, but functional. We had... More

When I first entered the room - "I wanted to run". Something was splatterd on the wall, the smell was bad, the a/c unit leaked, the bathroom was so so so small, the rug was damp (kept my shoes on). This hotel is not a clean hotel. Needs so much work. I don't mind old, but it was not clean.... More

I would not recommend anyone booking in advance to stay here. They tell you one thing and then when its time you get there and check in they give you what room they have left and tell you your reservation was for what they make of it and say thats what they had in their computer from your reservation. The... More

We stayed here for two nights for the Beach Lax lacrosse tournament. It was listed on the website so we thought it would be decent. The tournament sponsers shoul be ashamed to list it. The place is in dire need of renovation. The rooms are small and dirty. We woke up (0500) to no hot water the first day and... More
