We don't like to make reservations but after this last experience I think we might start doing that. We were tired and hot, the AC in the car was out. I was wanted to take a shower, maybe have a drink and go to bed. We knew after driving around the place that The Alamo wasn't a five star hotel,... more

I booked our reservations prior to reading these reviews. I was appalled at what i read and was very upset. my family and i have a tight buget since my husband works for the state and is currently not getting paid. So we did not have a lot of money but needed a weekend getaway. I wanted to cancel my... more

We got to Ocean City and there was no other place to stay (We stayed on the dock the first night somewhere lol, which was better than this), needless to say we had to drive inland to get something and saw the rates and thought it might worth it if we can't get anything out. My friend threw up on... more

We recently stayed at the Alamo with 3 teenage girls. It was the worst motel we stayed in. It was a spurr of the moment idea to go to Ocean City and alot of places were either booked or told us we had to rent 2 rooms. I went to the local walmart after checking in and got cleaning items... more

I was out in Ocean City during the off season, and there weren't too many choices. I love old motels. When I saw the cheery neon sign with the sombrero on top, I thought I had a winner for sure. I've rarely been more wrong. Now I know firsthand what happens to these wonderful old roadside treasures right before the... more

Alamo Motel is a ideal place to stay. It is very budget friendly.The room was clean. The people all were very nice.I will continue to go to this motel every year.It is within walking distance of many places to eat, which are so much cheaper than the Boardwalk.Right across the street is a place for the kiddies.There are two crabhouse's... more

I stayed at the Alamo back in 2005. Back then, I didn't know about TripAdvisor. I wish I did. I traveled with my sister and nephew. We just wanted a clean, quite place to stay for a couple of nights while at the beach. My sister was so afraid, she did not want to even lay on the bed. Our... more

My wife and I stayed at the Alamo one October weekend in the off season. It was great! The price was right and it was within a short driving distance of the beach at Assateague where i went to surf and convenient to Ocean City downtown. Not only that, it was right next door to a place to get coffee... more

We went down for the first annual bike week. When we went into the rooms, it was horrible. We ran out to the CVS and bought roach bombs. Hours after letting them off, we returned to find a spider the size of Texas crawling across the bed. He must have thought it was a sprinkler. A guy from 2 rooms... more

Oh My God, sleep in your car, I would have, but we were on bikes! We sat out on the bench all night, and my poor boyfriend doesn't drink, but I had to drink my fair share. It was so disgusting, someone else's stuff was still in the room. They told us someone was a regular there. I'll tell you,... more
