Guest Reviews
- JERRY (10/5): - my stay was flawless!!!
- Richard (10/5): - I’m a repeat customer
- Veronica (8/5): - Bed seem old but stayed only 1 night
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Easy check in and check out.
- Steven (8/5): - Nice place Friendly staff
- Vicky (10/5): - I needed a safe place for 4 high school girls to enjoy graduation week. I found it here. Easy transportation to the underage club. It’s right on the quiet part of the boardwalk & oceanfront. My daughter was safe & had the time of her life. Families and other grads were on property. A happy hotel!
- Jenny (10/5): - The staff was so awesome!! Very friendly and informative. You could probably eat off the floor it was so clean! The website pics do this hotel no justice. The room looked a million times better!
- Kristy (10/5): - Was great for the Boardwalk Rock Festival, we walked and didnt have to wait for transportation, there were great places to stop and eat or have a drink on the walk there and back to the inlet. My only issue were the beds, they are old and need a upgrade.....asap. super nice staff and definitely would stay again
- KAREN (8/5): - It is an older building with smaller rooms, but totally served our needs. Location is great, clean rooms, very friendly and helpful staff.
- Sherri (10/5): - Was a great place to stay. While the property is older, it’s very clean and well kept. Will stay here again!
- william (10/5): - Our favorite weekend getaway! Awesome location on the boardwalk, pool, clean and safe
- Mariela (10/5): - Close to the beach
- Bethany (10/5): - Had a great stay, staff is so friendly and accommodating with any request we had
- timothy (10/5): - Our room was in need of a makeover….other than that everything was very satisfactory.I would stay there again.
- Jo (6/5): - The outside has been completely refreshed and looks great. The property outside including the pool is extremely clean and welcoming. The inside of the units, however, needs a refresh as well. Smelled so moldy I had to buy air fresheners. Furniture seemed like it was from the 50's and smelled like it too.
- Michael (10/5): - We loved the service we got! They made us feel really at home
- Moises (10/5): - Nice, quiet good service good stuff
- Deborah (8/5): - Easy check in and out. Clean rooms. Basic comforts. Very nice staff.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Clean with a mid-century vibe. However, not a true ocean view, very small and missing small things like shampoo and ample toilet paper.
- Alfred (8/5): Friendly and clean - We booked 3 rooms next to each other for family members. Tish, who worked the front desk, was wonderful and communicated with my wife twice before our visit, to answer questions my wife had and to explain the accommodations. The rooms are dated but clean and comfy. The air conditioner was loud but not really bothersome. The location of this motel is perfect. It’s on the quieter end of the boardwalk. The pool was clean and access to the beach was very quick and easy. We had a great time and look forward to another visit to this motel.
- catherine (8/5): First time stay - First time to ocean city, hotel was very clean and staff very nice. My only gripe would be to put a shelf in the bathroom for toiletries. And add a few more tables around the pool. Several famlies would lay claim with placing their items at.the tables that were there and leaving not letting anyone elsenuse them or they laid claim to.the tables before 6 in the am which i found quite ignorant but not the.hotels fault. If we ever go back would certainly stay again
- Jacquelyn (10/5): - Had a great week at Fishtails. The room was clean, staff very friendly. Good location to the boardwalk and the beach.
- Susan (8/5): - Good location
- Gerardo (10/5): - Excelent and comfortably
- Genai (2/5): - Aged accommodations, you have to ask for amenities that should be available (refrigerator, iron, microwave, clean rug, door handles were dirty, room was sticky, sheets had hair all in the bed when pulling spread back) I never spent 300 dollars for one night in an environment not even suitable for animals.I would have been better off sleeping in my car! Shame on them.
- Joshua (10/5): - This place may have been a bit dated and a bit pricey. But was still worth it. I realize late in the evening my ac wasn’t working so I asked for a fan. The amazing staff instantly had me in a new room. Manager was super friendly and all the staff was great. Pool was nice rooms were clean. I’ll definitely return
- Patricia (8/5): - The property was very old. The room had a musty smell. The place was clean just needs some life. No real amenities except a pool. Only one pod of coffee and fixings for two people. Toilet had a leaking tank. Just needs to be updated. No tissue or extra toilet paper in the room. Staff was friendly enough. Place just needs some updating.
- Anar (8/5): - Old but very nicely located motel with great pool
- Dustin (8/5): Nice place. - Had a very nice stay. Cannot complain about anything.
- Brian (10/5): - The hotel is very clean but dated pool is not heated but great just to cool off and hang out very relaxing great lil getaway
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Decent place to stay. Housekeeping could be improved. Pool was very clean well kept.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Good location - Staff was friendly and good location
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Service is terrible and the rooms smells bad
- Verified traveler (2/5): - The oethat wirk there was disrespectful and the room was so dirty to pay almost $700 a night for a motel
- Verified traveler (4/5): - The only good thing about this property is the location and proximity to the beach and boardwalk. The room itself is very outdated and my allergies blew up when I was there so I could not spend the night. Not sure if it is mold or dust but I'm allergic to both
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Check in started at 3, we had changed rooms from Friday to Saturday and called to see if we could leave the car on their property. Very accommodating with that, asked about any earlier of a check in (thought like 130 or 2) front office woman lets us know we could possibly check in my 1230! Very friendly office staff, room is a good place, definitely got our money's worth. Ac was on when we got into the room, nobody banging on the walls at 4am, hot water, clean towels.. all and all definitely a place to stay.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - nice place to stay in will Recommend to anyone!! great location right off the boardwalk.
- Kinsey (10/5): - Overall, it was a great hotel. I need to pay better attention as I booked a room without a fridge or microwave but that was my fault. The only strange thing was there was no fitted sheet on the bed. Other than that it was clean and at an awesome location.
- Jackie (2/5): - This hotel is all about the money be ready to be charged extra fees once you get there
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Hotel staff are very friendly and attentive. When checking in the first room given to us had an intense smell and we were switched rooms right away. Perfect location on the boardwalk and great pool. Would definitely come back!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - No mini frig. Very basic. Great pool. Nice location. Nice staff
- stephani (6/5): - Great location and pool. Staff was friendly. Rooms arre very out dated for the price. No fridge, no coffee maker.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - So disappointed with this motel first time coming down with my family my husband booked our weekend trip for July 26-28. The first night we got there one of the bed was wet blankets quilts pillowcase it was a leak I called the front desk they came with new blankets and just gave them to me for me to re make the bed then didn’t even check the leak on the ceiling. Then we ask for a crib for my child at first they said it will be extra charge we said ok no problem two hours later they didn’t have any. The next day when we came back from breakfast we left our key in the room when the front desk saw we had a baby she stated we needed to get a bigger room and it will be another charge we said fine hour later the front desk manager Trisha Mitchell came to us they didn’t have no room we said ok she then told us we could not stay we had to leave we said ok fine mind you it was on a weekend my husband had to fine another place to stay in. She then also said she can’t give us the full refund we then stated why we are not staying the night. We then called Expedia were we initiated the booking and they going by what the front desk manager is stating they could not help us but give us a 100 coupon my husband and I are so disappointed we lost about 390.00 for a stay that we didn’t stay in. Be aware of Expedia and this motel policy NEVER EVER AGAIN they are not industry of accommodating the guest they are in the industry to scam the guest to use the room and charge the room at higher rate.
- Peter (8/5): so clean ! - First i noticed to this hotel is cleanliness from parking, common areas , to our room and then the swimming pool. It was weekend before 4th,July and there’s a lot people so i anticipated that the hotel will be busy. Our room is pretty basic, bed is comfortable . The place is in the beach and to the boardwalk which is important to me . My kids enjoyed the weekend.
- Alex (10/5): - Good price, location, and the weather was great, will deff. recommend this hotel
- Verified traveler (2/5): - The hotel location is only good and not staff members..
- Catherine (6/5): Just Ok - WiFi not good and not affordable
- Verified traveler (6/5): Quick review - Average stay for a last minute weekend trip. $$
- Gary (10/5): Right on beach and boardwalk. Pool uncrowded - Good people running the hotel. Variety of guests from adult fun seekers to families. Enjoyable.
- dissapointment (2/5): - It was old and very small space not clean no breakfast no coffee nothing noisy can hear everything and everyone talking in the other rooms I felt like I was in a low income section 8 housing staff was rude when I ask if I can pay for parking so that I can get breakfast on broadwalk and walk on broadwalk so I don’t have to leave to park somewhere else it was empty anyway the staff member say no that I had to move as soon as possible the pool is ok but no outside bathrooms had to go all the way back to room to go to restroom I paid 400 for my room I really expected a little better service and facilities never will return it was really not worth what I paid for it’s the honest god truth
- stephanie (2/5): Worst experience we've ever dealt with. - Tried to check in my family and woman with longer blonde hair at reception was terrible. She was rude & called me a liar. It was so bad we decided to eat the cost of the hotel stay and book at another hotel. NEVER STAY HERE! Trust me.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice hotel for older close to the beach - Completely satisfied. No problems at a good price.
- Richard (8/5): Good value - Was good room could use some mini fridge but other then that nice.
- Judy (2/5): Location was good. On the boardwalk. - The state of Maryland was under a state of emergency and the hotel staff would not even consider giving us even half our money back. We were will to take half or a credit to return, but the desk clerk just kept repeating the same thing like she had a speech prepared for her.
- murphy (4/5): Close to the beach - I stayed in the double no fridge or microwave. The room was suitable for my two night stay. The hotel was right on the beach and on the quiet end of the beach/ board walk. The room was clean and plenty of wash clothes and towels. Front desk staff was very nice, there is a $10.00 deposit for a room key. You do get the money back. There is a parking lot across the street. I perferr that parking that lot. You don't have to worry about anyone parking to close to your car. I only had two minor issues. The pool closed at 6pm, that is way to early! Also the next door neighbors were playing loud music past 12am. I made a call to the front desk and they were there to tell them to quite down in 5mins. No more music!
- Theresa (6/5): First vacation in 2 years - We booked the motel for 4 people. They charge per person, almost 1100 dollars for 3 nights. When we arrived to our, dirty fingernails on the floor and trash under the bed,make-up stains on my pillow, motel room there were only 2 towels,no soap or shampoo.The shower was so small the curtain would stick to you the whole time you were taking a shower.The window unit a/c was so loud you woke up in morning with a head ache. But after a 3.5 hour trip at least it had toilet paper. My children had friends come meet them that where staying on 5th street. The lady at the desk told them they were not allowed on the property. This turned our family vacation into our children staying on 5th street with their friends since they were allowed there. Leaving my wife and I to constantly walk to the other hotel 18 blocks to see our children. This was the first time we have been able to take any time off in two years. So to say the least we were a little disappointed.
- Camille (4/5): 2 stars - There is a rule that won't allow you to have any visitors. This is very inconvenient especially if you want to meet up with friends and family. I suggest staying here alone.
- john (4/5): Coffe addicts take your own - big price for no breakfast or coffee pot in rooms **************************************************** *****************************************************
- Lisa (8/5): Great location - Motel is an older motel. The room was clean. Location is great. Right on the boardwalk. The only things I didn't like was the pool is only open 9-6. I think that is too early to close. Also we had wanted to check out at 7 am and the office wasn't open yet. We had to wait until 830 am to get on the road.
