the ac not working

Incredible ocean view!

Staff was so kind and helpful. Loved it there

Enjoyed the ocean front balcony. Nice cleaned room, pleasant staff

Location, clean

Tired

Good location. Nice staff.

Very dated and old hotel. Not worth the $400 per night! Expected much nicer place for the money.

Great for a quick stay

Great room, easy access, stayed here for Oceans Calling and it was perfect. we rented bikes and that made transportation to and from the pier a breeze

The partial ocean view efficiency was perfect for our stay. The Beach Bus picks up just 2 blocks away and got us right to the music festival. The property was quiet and literally right on the boardwalk with beach access. Room was very clean.

Ive been Wyndham-loyal for awhile but this was a hotel I sadly would not return to. On a positive note, when we needed something in-room, they were immediate to supply it. They were equally as fast in responding to questions, & theyre the ONLY hotel that has ever provided my 'extra requests' & had them waiting in-room when we arrived! The staff was all very kind (even despite my moments of frustration with them). So those parts of the service were totally amazing. However... it is horribly noisy - & I mean HORRIBLE NOISE. The beds were awful in ways of comfort. For a place that sits ON the coast, sand is a real problem & it didnt seem housekeeping had EVER cleaned a floor. We had a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on our door all 6 days of our stay, & apparently no one understands what that means. Though they were kind, they simply didnt listen - The desk called our room DAILY re turnover service we did not desire (even after twice being asked not to), so I actually had to unplug the phone! We redeemed points to cover all but one night here, so for a nearly "free" stay, I feel we got what we "paid" for (although we VERY much paid out & bought/earned those points, so it still feels like a frustrating, unbalanced loss) Rest & peace were not a thing here, & if we return to Ocean City in the future, we'll definitely stay somewhere else. Some points to note that might be useful to others/families: open hall corridors exposed to all weather elements create a dangerously slippery environment even when being careful. The internet isnt actual complete wifi, but a mainland hotspot that barely functioned while we were there. I do not see it being reliable means of remote work connection for anyone traveling for/conducting business. Rooms: Dirty floors and uncomfortable beds. Wifi is only a dysfunctional mainland hotspot and barely works. Nearby activities: If youre going for an OC festival, the location is perfect. Far enough up the boardwalk to have less outdoor crowd noise, but close enough to walk to/from (a little over 2mi ea way) Safety: Open hall corridors exposed to all weather elements create a dangerously slippery environment even when being careful. Elderly, toddlers, pregnant women or anyone with stability issues could very much be at risk for injury. Walkabity: The boardwalk is amazing! Everything an ocean town needs to be! Close to shopping, retaurants, etc... we walked til we ached (prob upward of 30 miles in our 5 full days there). And, unlike Floridas patroled and closing-time beaches, the OC beaches can be peacefully enjoyed 24/7... spent a lot of time gazing at waves under the stars. Food/drinks: Huuuge variety of great eats and drinks for every dietary desire! I swear, we'd go all the way across the country again to OC just to go back to Shenanigans - phenom restaurant!! (And we have gluten allergies!)
