Was very disappointed in the room. Booked on line after taking a virtual tour and room was not at all what was promised. Besides being in desperate need of a good cleaning, I came away with multiply bug bites that seemed to have taken up residency in the sofa in the room. Ended up being charged more than the reservation... more

It has been a few years since we've stayed at the How. John. Oceanfront on 24th Street... I've noticed some writers are giving their review for the Ho Jo's on 12th Street. That is not this hotel. That is the How. Johnson "Plaza".. Anyway, not much seems to have changed in the past 4 years... Our room was very small,... more

Fabulous location on quiet end of boardwalk with very nice private oceanfront balcony (would not have stayed in anything but at this hotel...) Front desk service rude, uninformed and lazy. (However, we noticed that at many OC businesses...and mind you, I used to live in the area many years ago, and I don't recall it being that bad...) Remote control... more

The hotel was GREAT! Very apperant renovations were recent. New carpet in halls and room, new bathroom tiles, fixtures, clean room and nice flat screen TVs. A nice, clean, updated feel. The location was perfect and the staff was very helpful and friendly. We got there early and couldn't check in, but they gave is a parking pass and we... more

We chose this hotel because it was located right on the boardwalk and it seemed pretty nice and affordable. On a website for OCMD the only offer for making reservations online was for "best available." After calling the hotel they explained to me that BEST AVAILABLE meant we were to get the room best available at the time we placed... more

We stayed here from July 25-28. The hotel is very convenient to the beach and is on the boardwalk. This hotel is on 24th street and the boardwalk goes to 28th street. For anyone who isn't familiar with OC's boardwalk there isn't much activity at this end of the boardwalk. The boardwalk is 3 miles long and you would have... more

We stayed from 7/7-7/11. The bathrooms/sink are small, but it's not the end of the world. The room was very nice and clean when we arrived. The bathroom had some rust spots, but it's not a big deal. Rooms were cleaned very quickly except for our last day. We had a balcony on the boardwalk, which had a great view.... more

Just stayed the July 4th weekend at the Ho-Jo's on 12th St in Ocean City, MD. It was okay, great location and nice rooms with a flat screen TV on the wall. The problem was the air system in the room was very loud. Every time it kicked on or off, it woke me up. The indoor and outdoor pools... more

We checked in on June 26, 2008. We were on the 5th floor. The bathroom was clean, but there is NO place to put any of the things you brought along with you for showering. we had to put all our bathroom supplies on top of the microwave or on top of the countertop where the microwave was sitting at.... more

My family and I did not enjoy our stay at this hotel. The elevator(which is on the outside of the hotel) was dirty and had trash in the ceiling. The hall way on the 5th floor was dirty. The hotel room wasn't cleaned properly, it had an old french frie, gummy candy , hair clip, and a crayon on the... more
