I debated on whether I should give this hotel 3 or 4 stars It’s not a 4 star hotel but should be given credit for its cleanliness (which is a big deal to me) and how comfortable the bed was I got some great sleep in their king size bed

I also appreciated having the fridge and microwave The free breakfast in the morning leaves A LOT to be desired They gave a lot of options but the best thing there is the juice I also was annoyed that i requested clean wash cloths and towels and never got them because they were in the wash This hotel is very basic But it’s clean and close to Atlantic City so I would stay again

The check in process took a while, we were in line for 40 min, but I understand considering there were 3 wedding blocks at the hotel Only one of the 2 rooms we reserved were ready, despite checking in and choosing rooms through the app ahead of time Not a big deal; only needed 1 room for all of us to get ready

Very long story short, my second room I reserved was given to someone else and I didn’t know it I didn’t go to physically check into the other room until after 11pm, but I had requested a digital key and all that on the app ahead of time I was given a 2 queen room instead of a king Wasn’t ideal but I said fine, it’s late Get upstairs, mind you I have a 4 month old with me, and the room wasn’t made nor cleaned An apology wasn’t given until at least 1/2 an hour after I told the front desk I was told they were going to try and figure something out because they were sold out The manager never came to speak to me nor contact me Nobody told us what was going on until 45 min of us waiting in the lobby The masher did give us a discount on one of our rooms, so I do appreciate that But I would not stay here again

Chandra Matthews

Check in was smooth and even allowed early check in as there was a room available We rushed out to get to our destination after dropping our bags off When we got back around 11:45pm we noticed roaches

Roaches in the room inside the fridge and in the bathroom We went to the front desk to tell them and they moved us to another room I don’t as traveling with my husband, and our kids (4) ages 3months to 14 They moved us from a one bedroom suit to a standard 2 queen room Once going back down again Ben told us there was nothing he can do and refunded us our money We had paid for 2 nights Remember this all started at 1145pm So at 1230am my husband and I called around trying to find another hotel but everything was upwards of 400 a night as there were several events in town this weekend We ended up having to drive back home to Washington DC at 1245am Very disappointed in this hotel

I’ve stayed at the Scarborough Inn for two years in a row It’s probably the nicest and most updated hotel in Ocean City, NJ The owners did a great job of renovating and the decor is esthetically pleasing

There are a lot of thoughtful touches: an envelope with your name beautifully handwritten on the outside with everything you need for your stay inside, tea & coffee in the lobby, drinks on ice by the door in the evening, and always a staff member around happy to give any information During my stay this year, I was happy to see that a laundry room had been added, as I just happened to need to it! The Scarborough Inn would be a wonderful place to host a family reunion or to meet up with friends due to the wonderful porch with plenty of rocking chairs and tables and a welcoming vibe It’s also just a couple of blocks from a great ice cream shop, a bike rental shop, and other nice dining options

I stayed at this Inn for 3 nights with my 16 year for a little beach getaway We have traveled quite a lot and I think this is my favorite place I’ve ever stayed You feel as if you’re staying a good friend’s house

There is always someone there to greet you when you get back Also, fresh cookies and coffee if you want it are also waiting On the porch old time music is playing which makes you feel a little bit like you’ve stepped back in time Huge porch for relaxing on after a long day at the beach and boardwalk Our room was so nice Very clean and modern The breakfast, while limited, was delicious every morning Anyone working there is just the nicest person and so attentive Cute decorations everywhere Very nicely done with great attention to detail Only 4 quick blocks to the boardwalk and beach I would absolutely stay here again and recommend anyone else to do so

Morgan Tay

Very, very clean and comfortable stay The rooms are a good size for a couple, there’s a flat screen smart TV with different types of apps for a millennial couple like ourselves, and the hotel decor is super cute The bathroom is clean, beautiful and definitely will get you squeaky clean

We did not utilize the porch just because we went during a heatwave in July but it looked like an fun time The location is great, close walk to restaurants and the boardwalk There is even a shower station outside to use when you get back from the beach so you can rinse sand off, super useful They really have thought of everything to make sure you are comfortable! Everyone was so nice, we seriously enjoyed our stay We will be back next year!

This is our last night at the Inn, and to say it was exceptional is an understatement Val, the owner, has been with me every step of the way in planning our first visit to his property Since booking the stay almost six months ago, he’s been readily available to help me get the best deal, provide the best service, and make our stay more than memorable

The staff (especially Kimmie) has gone to great efforts to make our room clean, comfortable and feel like home The morning breakfast and rooftop deck are such highlights The Atlantis is conveniently close to the boardwalk, yet far enough away that the nights are peaceful and quiet If you are looking for somewhere clean, cozy, and luxurious while still somehow feeling like home, this is the place for you We have found our new go-to spot at the shore Very rarely do you discover a business where customer service is such a high priority It’s honestly a lost custom in our world I feel so blessed to have discovered Val and the Atlantic, and already can’t wait to plan our next stay

Can’t beat the location Service is well hard to find at times and we ran into quite a few other guests looking for someone from service or where to go or where something was etc, given that they service an older clientele (not including myself in that description), a bell for service or posted instructions would be good

We checked in at 11:30 at night and had no difficulties aside from kinda figuring out how to lock our room We were in a very small room and it had some old oversized furniture back from when TVs were huge maybe, but I understand that it fits the old world European Luxury vibe of the place Overall, very good, location is pretty amazing for just about anything you want to do in town It was clean and convenient and honestly we didn’t mind service being kind of invisible in the background of the house The pretty amazing roof top was not busy at all and we got to enjoy it all to ourselves a few times, a bit of shade up there would be very much appreciated but probably not installed due to being exposed to wind, I’m sure there is a good and permanent solution for that however

Amanda McAnally

This staff is top notch We had an emergency situation where we had to cancel our week-long vacation after two nights, and they were more than accommodating and kind to our already stressful situation This is a place we love to visit as it is prime location to the boardwalk and great food, and also beautiful inside

This is not your ordinary beach motel I was impressed last year when I stayed, and I continue to be impressed this second year Cannot wait to revisit year after year to this wonderful motel!

Christine DeSantis

This is the second year we have stayed at Ocean 7 and we will definitely be back It’s the PERFECT spot especially if you have kids Steps to the boardwalk and beach

If you get tired of the beach, head to the pool (which was heated when we were there) Staff is friendly Rooms aren’t anything over the top but are clean and just right for sleeping and heading outside! We will definitely be back!

Paul DeVito

Stayed here for a long weekend this past week I used to stay at the Impala years ago when my son was little and always enjoyed it It isn’t quite the same as it once was but it is still pretty good

The customer service is excellent The staff is very friendly and accommodating They get high praise in this area The hotel itself is older and could really use a makeover but I understand that Jersey shore properties are harder to maintain due to all of the abuse they get Hopefully there are plans to do some work once the summer is over My room smelled like cigarettes in spite of the no smoking policy and no smoking sign on the door Other than that, it was clean and comfortable The pool is nice and kept clean I recommend this hotel if you want a no-frills Jersey shore hotel that is affordable yet decent They get a 35 star rating from me overall

Kathy O’Connor-Cooley

We were very disappointed with this place When we arrived we discovered there was a 2% fee for using a credit card which was not disclosed when making the reservation We only learned of it by noticing a sign in the lobby

When we checked out there were many additional fees added to the bill that were not mentioned when we booked the room Upon entering the room we had to clean the air conditioner filter to get it to work properly, the filter was filthy There was no coffee machine in they room, the ice machine was out of order for the entire week we were there We requested housekeeping, they didn’t show up We went to the main office to request someone pick up the dirty towels and trash, no one showed up Definitely do not recommend this place

**NEW HIDDEN FEES WARNING**Impala, the Wild Dunes and Ebb Tide Suites are now part of Shorebreak Resorts As of 2022, they have started charging resort fees to stay here, which are not disclosed anywhere on their websites and the fee is not disclosed when you checkout online The new resort fee is $25/night (higher than many of the casinos in Atlantic City)

You do not get any extra resort amenities with the new resort fee You still get access to the pool and wifi, which were available prior to the new fee When you checkout online, the resort fee is added to the taxes line It is not disclosed as a separate line item We noticed that the tax amount was significantly higher than the 11625% that is charged in OC They tax the resort fee as well Also, they are now charging a 2% credit card fee, which is not disclosed and is required The initial rate that is quoted to you when booking the room does not include the credit card fee It is added when you proceed to checkout under a fees line, which you may not notice that your amount has increased unless you’re watching closely If you’re going to charge these new resort and credit card fees, disclose them/don’t try to hide themWe have stayed at the Wild Dunes and Ebb Tides Suites quite frequently The Wild Dunes could definitely use some updating, especially with the mattresses and bathrooms Ebb Tide Suites are preferred and we enjoy them a lot more With these new fees, we will consider staying in Atlantic City more often since the rates there are often cheaper now

Christina Abbott

Unbelievably disappointing We have stayed at this property many, many times while visiting family in the area since it opened I called ahead of arrival to request linens for the sofa bed of the two bedroom suite we booked

Upon arrival, no linens and curt front desk employee who told me I had to come to the lobby for the items because he was the only one there Fine Arrived and there are no pillows (“we’ve been short of pillows for months”) and one very thin fancy sheet, no blanket Determined to make the best I return to our room One bathroom has two towels The second bathroom (again we have a two bedroom suite) has no towels whatsoever Absurd! A room that is billed for five people (and we paid prettily for it) has two bath towels and we were told upon arrival no service for seven days And let’s not even begin to discuss the sofa bed “mattress” We always gave little expectation for such things but this is truly only springs There is no cushioning whatsoever These gold elite members are incredibly disappointed in a property we once recommended wholeheartedly Marriott, you should be ashamed of the terrible arrival to our room we have experienced

Joshua Dalama

This hotel has all the intention to be great but the efforts is not up to Marriott’s standards coming from someone who is one tier away from becoming an Ambassador Elite The breakfast is barely ever stocked just 45 to an hour after opening, my bathroom sink doesn’t drain properly, I notified the front desk the day of check in that the shower was not clean and nothing has been done, and housekeeping does not clean the room to the fullest; they’ll forget to do something may it be restocking the paper towels, toilet paper, and cleaning the dishes from the sink THE FLOOR IS NEVER VACCUUMED! The staff however are very nice people, it’s just being the status I am and loyalty with Marriott, this is not up to their standards

Neasie Gist

Each time I visited we had issues During check in we requested a higher floor the front desk clerk stated that there wasn’t anything available We checked into a room and my allergies went wild

The room had a stench of mold and dog Went to the front desk and fortunately the manager was there We explained what we requested in front of the same desk clerk and the manager stated we are a pet friendly hotel I said I have allergies and that room will not work for me The manager then ask the desk clerk to put us in another room I was puzzled because of what same desk clerk told us about 20 minutes prior Our stay and the room we were finally assigned was much better and had a better smell on a higher floor

LOCATION!!!!! I love the location & affordable price to be that close! We didn’t have any concerns for a beach motel, it offered what we needed for the this trip The AC worked very well! Staff was friendly I would come back as price was good to be on the boardwalk

We also got to check in a hour early so I was happy! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Lee Rackus

Inn was dated but clean However one week after staying there my credit card was hacked RARELY use this card and this was first time in at least 6:8 months I did

I am very cautious and keep it for just such reasons Concerned that their system was not secure I contacted them to let them know Young person that answered phone cut me off mid sentence to get manager … Manager was rude, adamant that it was no way related to them said it was most likely my BANK?! Maybe, but I think not As I said I RARELY use this card and surprising that after I use it there I promptly get hacked There are so many ways to respond to someone Rudeness in customer service isn’t the preferred path I work in customer service and know this well I would not recommend them for this reason Thanks for the stay but we most likely will not be back Can’t trust you with my money

We were very pleased with Coral Sands The rooms have all been remodeled and everything was super clean I am extremely picky when it comes to cleanliness and this room met my approval

It is also in a perfect location and so close to the beach The rooms have clean mini fridges that keep drinks and water really cold and there is an ice machine, which is great for keeping things cool/cold on the beach I can’t say enough good things about this place and I’m already planning to go back again this summer

I have been going to Ocean City my entire life but bringing my family of 7 down from Massachusetts and finding an affordable place that’s clean, friendly and amazing is … well extremely difficult! We had a reservation at another place but luckily my wife found this place and we couldn’t be happier!! Day 2 down and 3 to go I just had to leave a review Staff is amazing! It’s clean and totally worth the price!!Best part with having 7 people we are right near the beach I mean right there! Amazing!! Can’t wait to book for next year as well! Great job to everyone that works and maintains this place

The rooms are clean, nothing felt humid, sticky, or sandy Room service came every day, like they always used to everywhere else

There always seemed to be someone walking around cleaning something or making sure everything was up to par, I was impressedThe pool was nice, pretty good size and well maintainedParking may be limited, I didn’t have any issue but the lot was always full

I love this place so much I almost don’t want to give them a great review, because I want to keep it all to myself that being said, this is by far the greatest hotel in OCNJ, and since OCNJ is the greatest family beach in the USA you get the point! The rooms are always clean, everyone who stays there is awesome and the staff treats you like family! It’s reasonably priced but what makes this place the greatest place in Ocean City is the location

They are literally steps away from the boardwalk there’s technically not an ocean view, but certain rooms come close They have a pool that is always clean, and they give you beach tags!

Remember to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙoʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking any resort This website will compare hundreds of booking web sites and typically will have rates a lot cheaper compared to others! You’re welcome :)! This hotel is the best rated in this area

I’ve been staying here for years If you choose this place you won’t be disappointedThis place is amazing, it has 5 swimming pools, 4 Jacuzzis This is the place to be on the east coast

John Mattingly

Very expensive (8/22) Room wasn’t bad Nice but not luxurious as advertised

Water Club’s inside and outside pools are nice and definitely fancy When you enter from the parking garage you find to check in so you think that’s where you’re supposed to go BIG mistake The Water Club has its own check in with much much smaller lines City view rooms are nice but make sure you pull the curtains when you go to bed because you get very bright morning sun Parking seems free but you have to pay on the way out A little deceiving but cheap ($5)

Pleasantly surprised as we booked this in the middle of the winter without seeing the room It was a very nice spacious room with an attractive updated bath and a no step shower King size bed was excellent

The room opened onto a spacious porch by way of French doorsfor your morning coffee A large countertop, refrigerator and sink were conveniently located We loved our stay hereEveryone we encountered at the hotel were very accommodating, friendly and pleasant The service was great and the rooms were clean The cleaning people were very good tooThere was no smoking in the hotel but permitted on the balcony which became a real downer since we are non smokers and our neighbor next door smoked a very largecigar in the morning It took him about two hours to burn the thing up and all the smoke filled all the balconiesWe would love to see the management make it a no smoking hotel including the balconies

Howard Marquette

I’m a repeat visitor to Ocean Manor This place has all the old charm from the Victorian era Love the properties here and the proximity to the center of the boardwalk

Staff is very pleasant and very attentive Prices seem to have bumped a tad higher but I do believe they’re still comparable to, if not better, than the local “big hotels” Give Ocean Manor a try, you won’t be disappointed

Very very close to the beach and boardwalk but not ocean front Victorian vibe mansion , 4 floors, with elevator, in room 2D 2 full beds, beautiful white and sky blue theme room, small room but everything in place, enough space to move around for 4 guests, complete with microwave and small fridge, worked perfectly

Small bathroom but updated, space saving pocket door, clean white and blue theme, with hairdryer Patio has table and chairs to hang out Window blinds luv them!Owner responsive even late at night

Great location! comments in no particular order and are for an OFF season stay

We felt safe tucked away in the corner of the old hotel, a block from the beach, plenty of off street parking, the building supervisor was friendly and helpful, check in was easy, shopping and plenty of restaurants within a 5 minute walk, grocery store within a 10 minute walk, bike rack, did I mention it’s a block from the beach, laundry facilities on site, lots of icky-sticky being smoked in the building

Brian Nielsen

As others have mentioned, there’s a lot of little things that makes this place not worth the hassleThe rooms seem to be very haphazardly cleaned and maintained The air filter in our window unit hadn’t been touched in months, The renovations to the bathroom had not been completed (there was exposed wiring to a vanity mirror light not functioning and instead they used a clip-on desk lamp with an extention cord

) My room was tiny and had an uncomfortable full/twin bunk bed comboThe parking situation was awkward – I had to give my keys to them and call the very awkward manager to get my car if I needed itOne note: the elevator is extremely small

Melissa Michaluk

Nicely updated room Our family of 4 stayed in room 506 Full bed under a twin bunk plus a fold out chair bed

Helpful to have the mini fridge/freezer, microwave, sink, kitchenette and eating area Great locationwithin walking distance to many good restaurants, ice cream shops and Asbury street shopping Short 1 block walk to boardwalk Cons: front desk was often empty, elevator was small and slow, parking was not included, bike rack was over crowded so we had to leave bikes locked on our car rack Would had liked an outdoor sitting area and pool, but overall good experience and would likely stay again

Comfortable Beds and Rooftop pool with great sunset view, a little bit of shade for swimming in the day when need a break from beach Cookie and Linda at the front desk were friendly and super helpful They got us a same day reservation, check in, beach and car pass, all while handling the phone that was ringing off the hook

We were able to check out the next day, use our complementary beach passes, keep the car parked there, and take a swim in pool before getting on the road Easy walk to boardwalk Suites are independently owned, but run as hotel We were in 207, over 500 square feet of space Would definitely stay again

We stayed in suite 418 this past week This place was highly recommended by a close friend who I trust completely Evidently we got the most disgusting, worst room

It was somewhat aesthetically pleasing, but as soon as we arrived, I immediately realized our room smelled horrific We bought two candles that evening and thought they would help disssipate the awful vomit like smell They did not help at all I should have requested and insisted on a different room I am mad at myself I didn’t The couch and the entire floor carpeting were filthy They had stains everywhere Our feet were black every single day The linens were thinner than hospital grade and there were large visible cigarette holes in the thin brown blanket that my children used on the pull out couch they slept on There were 4 of us in our room and 2 of us had to shower in a different room I had to request because the water was freezing by the time my second child took his bath I am a thin person and could hardly move in the small shower Every time I turned slightly, my body was touching the dirty shower curtain There were ketchup stains all over the room inside and outside on our deck It was disgusting We deliberately rented a penthouse suite to have a kitchen and didn’t even feel comfortable cooking there or eating anything more than breakfast cereal I had to wash all of the bowls and silverware before we used them because they all had dried food on them I would never recommend this establishment Do better!!!!!!!!

Tara Brown Beauty

I would honestly give this place 1000 stars if I could! Our room was soooo nice that I literally had tears in my eyes when we walked in! The room we had was so incredibly spacious, we didn’t feel crammed in It was so clean, the staff were amazing and the rooftop pool with a bathroom is really the icing on the cake! I highly reccomend this place and will be booking here next summer!
