- Antionette (10/5): - I stayed the weekend at this marvelous motel and not only ithe place beautiful 😍 it's very reasonable she went above and beyond during the entire stay but she had coffee lol me and my girls will. Be back when it gets warmer because she has a pool👍👍see you soon Everything was perfect
- Kevin (10/5): The only place I stay in Ocean City - The location is perfect. The staff are friendly. The building is older but well maintained.
- Marty (5/5): Other than that, this day wasn’t bad. The location was good. - It’s on the boardwalk No room in the bathroom, like vanity space for things saw one bug in the bathroom
- Catherine M (9/5): -
- Elaine (5/5): Adequate, but would not stay there again. - The air conditioner was very loud and it kept us awake most of the nights. We were supposed to have an ocean view. We did not. We were facing the pool and right next to the stairway. No privacy at all.
- Kellcey (8/5): It was good for the time I was there for. - Close to the beach and fun activities Everything was pretty good
- Cody (7/5): It was a decent place to stay but not with the money - The location and the ocean view is amazing Windows were dirty and blankets had stains. The shower was no good also
- Wendy (10/5): Went overnight with my 80 year old mother and the room with ocean views was wonderful - Location was perfect, room was clean and staff were wonderful The property was good the crazy weather was our only complaint and that wasn’t there fault
- Heather (4/5): It met our needs, but not our expectations. We will not be going back. - The location was great. To get to our room, we walked through an area that consistently smelled like smoke. Our room was right outside the ice machine so we heard people getting ice at all hours. There were stains on the pillow cases and we found hairs in the bed before we ever used the bed. The mattress was sunken in and not comfortable in the least. Only 1 roll of toilet paper. The only time housekeeping showed up was after we had been out all day and were getting ready to go out for dinner.

- Marie-Pier (7/5): Beau séjour :) - L’emplacement, la gentillesse du staff, la plage !
- nidya (5/5): - Close to beach
Pool was clean
Office personnel friendly Bathroom needed a deep cleaning and shower curtain was very old
- Marisela (8/5): Great , will definitely stay here again. - I really like the location of the Motel . It’s very easy to go to the beach without walking to far . Front desk people are very friendly and helpful. I had the pleasure to meet the owner. She is very nice. My mother forgot her AirPods and the owner call me back to let me now . She said to not worry she will go out of her way to mail them to me. I really appreciate her doing this for me. Also must give her housekeepers the credit for being very honest and caring about people leaving their stuff behind. The only thing we didn’t like was that out of the 3 rooms we stay in . Two rooms 101 and 108 the people staying next to us were so loud. It was about 2am they were slamming the door and being so loud. Good thing it was only one night out of the 5 days we stayed. Also it would be nice if house keeping would change the bedsheets especially when we stayed for 5 days. One of our rooms never got their sheets changed or bed done when staying there .
- Susan (7/5): Had an option to stay at another place but because could not cancel this reservation. - No breakfast. It was older but clean
- Shana (10/5): -
- Ryan (9/5): I would recommend Rideau to anyone looking for an affordable, clean, close to boardwalk stay in OC. - Great location right on the boardwalk. Friendly Staff. I recommend getting the Oceanfront room. Great view of ocean, beach and boardwalk. Room was clean. Rooms are a little dated and could use an update.
- Robert (7/5): Very comfortable but spartan. - The location was excellent, right on the boardwalk. The air conditioning was very strong and kept the room cool and comfortable. A fairly large refrigerator kept many bottles and cans cold. The sound dampening was very good and reduced boardwalk noise to barely audible (important because the boardwalk is directly below). The room was very large and clean. The bathroom was adequate, however, some fixtures had corroded probably from salty air. Staff was friendly and had a sense of humor. Having a balcony with chairs and table that directly faces the ocean was very nice. My main concern was the inadequacy of electrical outlets for phone charging and other needs. No usb outlets were provided. Overall, the room is comfortable but very spartan for such a high price. At a cost of over $400/night they could have provided more than 1/3 of a toilet paper roll. A fresh roll should have been installed.
- Trevor (6/5): -
- Dewey (8/5): -
- Marlene (10/5): -
- Romeo (10/5): - Amazing service, the lady in front desk Cristina provides a 5 start service
- Mark (8/5): Overall, very pleased with my stay and I would stay at Rideau again in the future. - The room was a large oceanfront and met my expectations. It was reasonably clean and comfortable. Also, the location of hotel is excellent and I enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching the people and the ocean. Although the room was reasonably clean, the floors still had a bit of gritty sand on them so walking around barefoot was not advisable.l also would have liked it better if there had been staff in the office around the clock 24 hrs.
- Roxann (8/5): Very nice place to stay. -
- Sorichetti (10/5): The owner is super sweet , she makes you feel like family and a home away from home - The owner actually works the front desk and bends over backwards to oversee everything first hand and make sure you have the absolute best stay I like that there are smoking areas and it is so convenient and big rooms and has a pool that stays open after Labor Day
- Pam (8/5): - Room was large, very clean, beautiful view, close to event, parking was great, staff friendly Tub was slippy, had to be very careful when bathing, It would have been nice to have some place to hang wet towels like an over the door hook on the bathroom door. Also a small nightlight in the room would have been nice.
- Chrissy (10/5): -
- David (9/5): -
- Tricia (8/5): -
- Michael (9/5): Fishing & Sunfest - Clean , spacious, great location
- Angela (7/5): - Shower didn’t work properly.
- Samantha (3/5): Don’t. - Location was good for the music festivals Within 20 min of arriving we found a roach in the bathroom. Owner said it’s something she can’t help and she thinks it’s because it’s been raining a lot? She upgraded us to a king room. A couple nights later we got home late and my boyfriend went to the bathroom and ANOTHER roach runs across his shoe. Assumed the office was closed so we sucked it up until morning and left as soon as possible. Reached out to the hotel after getting home to see if they could maybe offer some kind of refund or something. Even took video so the knew we weren’t making it up. Was told they never had a roach problem. But wait, the owner literally told me it’s something that sometimes happens days ago? Then! They said they had to bring their pest guy in to see “where the problem could have arose from”. And after that they’d let us know? I’m sorry… are you insinuating that we brought the roaches to the room we were in for 20 minutes? I’d highly recommend spending your 1600 dollars elsewhere.

- KIMBERLEE (10/5): - Location, location, location!!!! The room was a little out dated, but it was large, and service was great!!!!
Employees were friendly and on premises for any questions. The owner was working the front desk and was so nice and friendly. She gave suggestions on things to do and gave us history of the hotel. Will definitely return. Thank you!
- mary (10/5): -
- Elizabeth (8/5): -
- Krista (9/5): Loved it - will stay there again next year! - The location was perfect - right on the boardwalk, and right by the Country Calling Festival entrance too! Staff was super helpful and very friendly.
- Rachel (10/5): -

- Morgan (10/5): - Everything was clean and kept up with nicely. Room service offered daily.
- Ryan (10/5): - Really friendly staff, large rooms.
- Jennifer (6/5): - Staff was very friendly. The view was exceptional. We were oceanfront with a balcony. The hotel needs updating for sure. We had a king sized bed and the mattress was soft but the bed or frame was lopsided.ended up with a pinched nerve after three nights. Our room was also right above a cantina and on the boardwalk. Weekend noise is crazy. During the week it was quiet by 11 pm. If you don’t mind the outdated makeup of the motel this is a great place for convenience. Everything is right there.
- Betsy (10/5): - Owner was very friendly! Rooms were clean and spacious. Cleaning staff was on top of it. Great location and looking forward to staying again next year.
- Daniel Peter (10/5): Top-Lage zu einem sehr fairen Preis - super-zentrale Lage zum Boardwalk (der aber völlig überbewertet ist). Personal supor hilfsbereit mit tollen Vorschlägen zu Restaurants. nichts, da gerade die Bike-Week war, hatte es Unmengen an sehr lauten Harleys die einfach nur nervten (ich fuhr auch mal Motorrad, aber so offene Töpfe tun einfach nur weh), aber dafür kann das Motel absolut nichts.
- Barbara (8/5): - Location was great Need coffee pots in the rooms
- Jennifer (10/5): - Great location on the boardwalk
- Romero (8/5): -
- Southerland-Frazer (4/5): I slept in my clothes. - The friendly, informative staff Room, building, TV size, very dated
- Daniel (10/5): Great local place to stay. - Had a great stay. Rooms spacious and clean. Staff was very nice. Asked daily if there was anything we needed. Location rt on the boardwalk was just what we needed. Will be back again year for sure.
- Becky (2/5): Never again - location Dirty air conditioner. Roach found in room crawling on my phone. Mildew on curtains.
- Frantz (9/5): Great location on boardwalk in Ocean City. MD. - Great location, close to attractions, restaurants and shopping. Room could have been more updated with better looking furniture and curtains.
- Heather (10/5): - I booked last minute while on the road and found the Rideau Oceanfront Motel to be
- Sharon (10/5): - Beach view
- Amo mi familia (8/5): - La Pool Q me dejaron atrás
- Anita (10/5): -
- Landscape (8/5): -
- Erica (8/5): - Location was absolutely perfect. Everything was pretty clean. Pool was nice, a littly chilly but it wasnt a crazy hot weekend so understandable. Price was great! Staff were all very friendly. Check in/out was great. Bedding and pillows were uncomfortable. Comforter and sheets were just kinda scratchy/stiff feeling. Parking spots were a bit small, we have a bigger truck though so we decided to move when someone left so we could park better. We canceled with another place and rebooked here so no breakfast was kinda a bummer some little pastries,donuts/muffins,cereal or fruit would have been nice but definitely wasn't a deal breaker for the price and location being a last minute change.
- Mary (8/5): - Clean and reasonably priced. Nice pool and free on-site parking! Knoey was cumbersome as it required pulling the key out slightly while holding the knob.
- Elaine (9/5): will definentily book there again - location was great! Freindly staff. View was unbeleivable needed more room in the bathroom to set toiletries
- Stephen (8/5): -
- Sarah (4/5): - The location was fantastic! The pillows were terrible. Housekeeping never came our entire stay. I had to request toilet paper and towels.
- Rudy (10/5): -
- Greg (9/5): - Staff was very nice and comfortable to talk to
