AC unit (mounted in wall above the room door) ran all night & day. Room seemed clean, but not very clean when you stayed there for more than an hour. The cabinetry around the small kitchenette area was literally falling apart w/nails exposed. In serious need of an upgrade & good cleaning. Only a few sodas in all the soda... more

We just came back from staying at the Howard Johnson Oceanfront Inn in a Premier Oceanfront room on the 5th floor. (Please be aware when booking if you are reading reviews or looking at tours for the HJ Plaza -their best one, the Oceanfront Inn on 24th street or the HJ Express which is not on the ocean.) What we... more

Our trip started on 9/9/09 and we arrived at the hotel at 1:00 pm. The desk clerk was nice, we were given electronic keys for the rooms and we headed to room 311. The first appearance was the room was ok, it smelled clean and the beds looked good. We had issues with getting the sliding glass door open, as... more

I am writing this from our HoJo room at 2am. Why, you ask? Because for the fourth time today/tonight the fire alarm went off; a fire alarm that could only be turned off each time by the Ocean City Fire Department which took about 15 minutes each time. Maybe more. I don't know I'M TIRED. This started at 8am, occurred... more

We arrived at the HoJo on Sunday evening by monday evening a crack had formed in the ceiling and was completly infested with fleas!!! management moves us to the adjacent room that smells of mildew and has not been cleaned since the previous guests check out. We were finally given a new room at 2:30am! 2 days later we asked... more

Good hotel for the price. Great location, 24th Street on North end of boardwalk, if you want to be on the beach and close to stuff, but not in the thick of it (closer to 10th St would be really in the activity). We will try the 12th St HoJo next. Our Rooms came with mini fridge, sink, silver and... more

We stayed at the Howard Johnson on the Boardwalk at 24th Street Aug. 9 -14 in an oceanfront room on the 5th floor. I booked the rooms early and received a 25% discount. Had I paid the $299 regular rate for an oceanfront room I would have been somewhat disappointed. Like many Ocean City hotels, this is an older facility... more

I read a bunch of reviews online and worried myself sick about this hotel. While I will admit the rooms were a bit small if you are traveling with more than 3 people, the rooms were clean and the staff was very nice. I would definitely stay at this hotel again with my family. more

First impression: Room was small. Bathroom was designed such that turning on the shower instantly flooded the floor, which never dried. However, the worst was yet to come. The fire sprinkler system went on the fritz and activated in our room, soaking the carpet and several of our clothes bags with mildew-smelling water. Our room opened to the outside near... more
