- David (8/5): -
- Cinthia (10/5): Comodidad - Es muy limpio y acogedor
- Anika (10/5): Great stay for a last minute booking. - Very clean and quiet. Great location and view! It was a little too pricy for me.
- Briyit (8/5): - Location was great. It was close to many places to eat, the beach, and right on the boardwalk. The room was clean, small, but just right. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. This place has so much potential. A few renovations would be nice. From the carpet to the elevator and maybe add a breakfast area. The stay was good, but for the price we paid, it could be better.
- Catherine (9/5): -
- Linnette (10/5): - Very clean, convenient to the boardwalk and beach.
- Alan (7/5): Good staff but I wouldn't stay here again. Far too expensive for what it is. - Front staff were excellent, friendly and accommodating. I feel like the price was really high for a single night and the room was a bit dilapidated. Broken window slats and a shower head that screamed when you turned it on.
- Lauren (8/5): -
- Justin (7/5): -
- sajia (3/5): - The carpet was wet and smelled foul
- William (2/5): Because of the hotel room this stay was a mistake and departed a day early. - On the Boardwalk. Room door is on a side street with too much noise in the evening. Miserable small room. No sofa, no chairs other than folding chairs.
- Daphine (10/5): Courtesy, friendly - Great Nothing
- Claire (8/5): -
- Wood (9/5): The staff was friendly, accommodating, and overall wonderful. - The hotel was right on the boardwalk and was close enough for us to walk to the festival we were there for. The room was perfect for the two of us. It was easy to get in and out and bee never experienced any problems. The mist from the ocean seemed to make the carpets feel damp and out door to condensate. But it wasn’t a problem. Also, the fan didn’t work in our bathroom.
- Christopher (5/5): - Location Room was not as advertised and it felt like we were put into a weird doggy only section. 1st floor by the trash cans. 2 rooms. And the a/c barely worked.

- Linda (7/5): comfy and clean rooms - rooms are comfortable and clean; location is near restaurants and fast food I didn't like the parking lot(very crowded) and also on the internet it says balcony view which i took to mean from your room but you have to go to 3rd and 4th floor to view the ocean where there is a very nice balcony with chairs but just be aware you will be viewing the ocean with others not privately from your room

- Bridget (9/5): Great, will stay again. - Great location, clean and bed were comfortable. Easy access to almost everywhere we wanted to go. Great view of the beach from our room and from balcony.

- Kathy (9/5): Excellent value! - Great location! Manager was very nice and attentive.Beds very comfortable. Great water pressure. Nothing
- Jason (10/5): - We loved the balcony! It had a beautiful view of the ocean. The location was smack dab right in the middle of the boardwalk so it was perfect! This was our 2nd year booking this place. When we go again we'll stay at this location again. The bathrooms are outdated but other than that the place is great for what was needed. It was very clean.
- Dominic (10/5): I was very pleased with the overall cleanliness, friendliness of the whole staff! - the room was incredibly clean, staff was helpful and very kind, and being on the boardwalk made travel very easy! decor and overall atmosphere was outdated, but still was maintained and cleaned very thoroughly.
- Caitlyn (9/5): Clean, tidy and friendly! - This location is very clean! Freshly painted walls and definitely very comfortable for a few days stay with me and my two children. Art and Marie and the staff were amazing and very kind. They made this trip extremely easy especially when I asked last minute to add on an additional day. They were all around great people to deal with. This is definitely a spot that my kids and I will come down to when we visit. No complaints really.

- S1887BNjohnb (8/5): Nice Experience. - This hotel is right on the beach. Although the room was small, we had a nice uneventful stay. I wouldn't have any problem returning to this hotel again.
- Murillo (10/5): I felt at home. - Super clean and comfortable beds, and that delicious coffee ready every morning.
- Pamela (10/5): It was a great experience and I'll definitely be back! - Location is great! Staff is amazing! They were very helpful and very kind. The rooms are outdated BUT very clean and everything worked properly.
- Butler (7/5): -
- Rosemary (10/5): Great accomodations - Staff were all very welcoming and helpful. We've stayed here 3 years in a row, and will continue to do so. Rooms have always been immaculate. We also love the balcony on our floor. Having to leave this wonderful place to go home.
- Jamie (10/5): - Great location
- Christine (10/5): Our stay was almist everything we could have asked for. Again the room was super small but for a crash pad we made it wo - Clean and very friendly staff. On the boardwalk close shops. The room was smaller than I expected.
- Lisa Marie (10/5): Very nice, clean and comfortable. - The room and the bathroom were very clean. The staff was always friendly and helpful. You have a beautiful view of the ocean from their front deck. Free parking! The bathroom is a little small, but not a big deal.
- Kimberly (6/5): - Great location and loved the outside shared balcony overlooking the boardwalk and ocean.
Motel was pretty clean. My only negative about this place would be the Moldy/Mildew smell in the room.
- Lindsay (10/5): Staying here was like staying with family!! - The owners! We had a bad experience at the original hotel we booked. We had traveled 6 hours for a music festival and were in a panic when we got to the Safari. I explained what happened and they both immediately put me at ease got me checked in and they were so attentive all weekend!
The location is perfect for being on the boardwalk…it’s far enough up that you aren’t kept up all night from noise but close enough that you can easily walk to everything you need at the beach! The ONLY negative there isn’t an exhaust fan in the bathrooms so the whole room stayed pretty humid after a shower.
- Luke (10/5): - Clean room, friendly staff, and close to everything
- LINDA (9/5): Enjoyed will stay again -
- vicky (10/5): - Location, staff was very friendly Bathroom was older but clean
- Claire (10/5): - Check in and check out were very easy. The parking was a little hard to find, but there was a good deal of parking available. A little outdated but well kept and I actually liked the vintage charm.
- Khalid (1/5): Bed bug - Location I stayed for couple days and I returned with bed bug. I stayed in room 31 or 32 on the third floor of the blue building right behind the main building. The room smelled musty and rusty. When i returned home learned that was the smell of bed bug infection. Unfortunately, we brought these bugs to our home after this short stay in this hotel.
- Norge101 (9/5): -
- Dianne (10/5): Had a great time. - Staff was very friendly. Excellent location on the Boardwalk. The toilet sits too low to the floor.
- Tawnya (9/5): - I wasn't sure what it was going to be like because I have always stayed in bigger named hotels. I was very pleased. Will definitely stay again No fan in the bathroom lol
- Darriel (10/5): Best Location - Smooth check in. Great service and easy access to the beach.
- Terri (10/5): Wonderful place to stay in Ocean City - We were so impressed with the staff , their attentiveness was wonderful, the view from the balcony on the 3rd floor and the top floor is fantastic. The only thing we didn't like, was the size of our room. We took our 2 small dogs with us, so it was tough to find room to move around
- Marcela (8/5): -
- Pelin (10/5): Kısa ama güzel bir seyahat - Konumu, odası, sahiplerinin ilgisi
- Hollis (10/5): -
- Julie (10/5): - The staff is super friendly and housekeeping did an excellent job. The room was clean and the bathroom was well stocked. The shared balcony was cleaned every morning and there is plenty of seating. It would be nice to have a few lounge chairs, though. The ocean view is beautiful and we got to see the dolphins, and it’s right on the boardwalk, so it’s close to shopping and restaurants, but far enough down from the big crowds on the upper end, but still within walking distance. We’ve stayed here many times, and will continue to visit.
- ValeriK2 (7/5): -
- Shanen (10/5): - Right on the boardwalk with excellent views No ice machine upstairs
- Tracey (10/5): Nice hotel for a little getaway - It was nice stay. The hotel was clean and the location was great. Still on the boardwalk but not down in the crowded area. We were within walking distance of plenty of restaurants. Common balcony was a nice area to sit a people watch on the balcony both day and night.
- Melanie (7/5): -
- Amanda (10/5): Great Stay - What I liked most about this hotel is that they accommodated my service animal and he was very comfortable. Also it was very clean and orderly.
The facility is very close to the beach. It's right off the boardwalk and I was able to help my mom who has a hard time walking, getting down to the beach and back up with no problems, let alone. My dog was able to be on the beach as well. It was a very great location and I would definitely stay here again. There really isn't anything that we did not like. I can't even think of anything to pick out that we didn't like. It was a great location for the price.
- KARTHIKEYAN (6/5): -
- Shalyssa (8/5): - Location is great! A little run down on amenities, very obvious it hasn’t had an upgrade in years. It is per friendly but didn’t get an option booking with Expedia until we get there and that it’s $35 a night. They need to know in advance to give you a pet friendly room. Hopefully Expedia updates the pet option because it was an inconvenience.
- Linda (10/5): - Friendly staff, cleanliness
- Eduardo (10/5): Best value for the money. - On the beach
- Oatman (9/5): Great location if you want to be away from the busier areas, friendly staff, definitely worth it - The board work access with shops and food nearby and the friendly and helpful staff at the desk Parking lot was tight (nothing they can do about that it is what it is)
- Holly (5/5): -
- Douglas (9/5): -
- Charles (8/5): Everything was nice except the bad weather. - Close to all of the attractions. Needed higher toilets and working exhaust fan.Everything was nice except
- Pete (10/5): Highly Recommended - It was clean, the location is great and the people that work there are friendly and very helpful
- Lisa (8/5): -
- Demis (7/5): -
- Buwaneka (10/5): -
- Ciriello (10/5): We enjoyed our stay. - The staff at the location had nice parking and very friendly staff. It was close to the boardwalk and beach so a very convenient location. The floors felt a little sandy when we arrived and the bathroom has no ventilation for the steam from the showers.
