Cute motel
Cute "roadside" motel. Had a small kitchenette, outside seating and a nice pool. Rooms could use some updating, but it was clean and the staff was very nice.

It is a very nice hotel that is walking distance from the beach (about two blocks away). The beach area nearby is also very nice. I prefer it to the beach by the boardwalk as it is quieter. It is also walking distance from many restaurants, and the staff are very nice. I had a great stay and want to come back!

Off-season weeknight stay, so plenty of parking. Very clean if a little dated. Nice kitchenette. Amazing staff. This place is perfect for anyone who wants a clean but laid-back stay.

This motel is truly family owned and operated. The staff could not have been nicer and more helpful. I would recommend this facility to anyone heading to Ocean City.

It was perfect for an extra day at the beach. Close to the beach, has a pool, competitively priced, mini kitchen with a full size refrigerator, friendly staff, close to restaurants and convenience stores. We stayed as an extra day add on to a mini vacation, and it was just what we needed.
