Stay away!

I did not stay. The room I was given was dirty with hair and dirt on the bed. When I went to office to complain the guys showed me another room and he even came in and saw that bed also was dirty with hair and a bug on the bed. He agreed to why I wouldn’t allow myself or my daughter to sleep there. But “couldn’t” give me a refund.

Price was great. 6 nights, $1k. Not too far from the beach. Great restaurants! Go to tap house and breakfast cafe! Note: no microwave and fridge in standard rooms. It was clean but we did find earings and a condom wrap under the bed.

This is the worst experience of my life and I didn’t even stay. Not only are reviews expressing clean quiet rooms a straight lie but I’d go as far as saying this motel needs to be shut down. 20-30 minute drive from all things you go to ocean city for (not 3-10 minutes as listed). Upon checking in there were pubic hairs on the seat of the bathroom, chemical smells throughout the room, bugs, and stained sheets. When we asked for assistance we were told there’s no house keeping right now so clean it ourselves. We asked for a different room and were told none were available even though there were in fact plenty. Already speaking with the health dept and better business bureau. Refund was not given due to policy which I’d understand IF they accommodated us as we requested. But there was no way we’d stay after such horrible treatment. You’d have a better stay at the prison 30 minutes away. Steer clear

For one it looked nothing like the brochure. The brochure had a microwave and a fridge this room didnt. Not to mention the stairs and floor was filthy. The sink was actually outside the bathroom. There was food in the garbage cans and the sheetz had rips stains and was dirty. I asked the staff why there wasnt a fridge and they said just go to the Wyndham across the steet. And they didnt replace the room. Me and my wife didnt even stay a night this was blasphemous and no one should deal with this. Although I doubt it would happed i asked for a refund

No office open, had to drive next door to Microhotel. Outside room access. Bright light outside window, like sleeping with the light on. No extra toilet paper, cigarette burns on the batg tub, no coffeemaker, no microwave, no frig, no chair, no luggage rack. Basically a room with tv on a stand, a bed and a bathroom. Office was open in the morning, basic cold breakfast. Went to restaurant for breakfast. No one in the office when I checked out but door was open. Obviously not recommended but it was reasonably priced. Hair on the walls and sink

The sink was clogged with someone else’s hair on day one, bathroom floor & door was dirty. They don’t clean the rooms unless you ask or take out trash, continental breakfast was more like toast & bagels and an apple. One of the towels that we received had a blood stain on it, and found a dead roach smashed on the wall, oh and did I mention there were ants coming out of the AC unit! Very misleading from the pictures online.

This stay was okay. The staff was helpful and considerate. The location is right in town. My issues were that the space detailed that I would have a mini fridge and a microwave, but I was surprised to find out that it is reserved only for king rooms, which was not labeled on the booking. The location said is was 3 minutes to the beach and boardwalk, but was really 10 minutes; that wasn’t an issue for me, but it was not accurate. The complementary breakfast was just cereal and yogurt in the hotel front desk, so not what I had in mind. The hotel is connected/close by the microtel, so that was my only concern as a female solo traveler. However, there were many families at Shoreside so it felt very family friendly. My MAIN issue was the cleanliness. I don’t believe my room was thoroughly cleaned. The shower was slimy AND I uncovered my sheets to find a bunch of hair and cotton swabs under the covers.

I like my room it was cute and cozy. I would come again probably would like the second floor. Need to have better channels to watch because I love TV, also need more wastebasket in the room instead of one. Otherwise it was a cute room, will be back 😊

Do not stay here

This was short of horrible. Refrigerator & microwave were in an awkward location. Hard to get to. Shower curtain rod was installed upside down so shower curtain would not stayclosed. Towels were like sand paper. The room rate was affordable but the quality of the room was horrible

It was a good experience. Only thing I didn’t like was the breakfast. It’s only bagels and cereal that looks old. And the coffee was from the day before but they were at least honest about it.

Very disappointed in this property. we had an ant issue in both rooms. Went to the check in office at 5pm ish , mind you we checked in round 4, to report the issue and see if it could be accommodated for another room just to find out that the office was closed. On top of that said to visit store for more assistance, which was not really helpful, they didn’t have other rooms they could put us in, they sent out the exterminator which didn’t really help the issue. The bathroom smells like a pee and it was not helpful to not have someone on site for assistance. At the price point paid, $800 for two rooms, we did expect rooms with clean bathrooms & no bugs. Very disappointed
