This hotel has probably the lowest, or very close to, price in Ocean City. Bus stop is right around the block, Boardwalk is pretty much across the street. The Staff is very friendly and has always been tolerant to our larger group. The rooms are pretty much what you would expect for the price, being downtown or close to the... more

We decided at the last minute to go to the beach for one day/one night. Unfortunately I didn't research this hotel. It was the absolute worst I have ever seen in my life. The towels had stains on them, sheets/bedding smelled like bad feet/ body odor and most likely hadn't been washed in ages. The hotel is on the main... more

They WILL NOT REFUND YOUR MONEY!!!! A/C window units WORTHLESS!!!! You were... more

It started with a very dirty carpeted floor in the hallway to the reception desk. The room had a smell like a hundred overweight men just out of a sauna dried themselves on everything in the room. I didn't find any bugs in the room, but there were three condoms under the mattress (this is after we were told it... more

It wasn't the best place, and honestly my friends and I were a little surprised when we walked in and saw how small the room was, but we just joked about it and stayed on the beach. The rates were great, and it's a really good location for being only half a block away from the beach. I've heard from... more

Friends booked 7 of us a "suite" 2 bedroom unit at the Buckingham. The only thing "suite" about it is when we weren't in it. Couch couldn't support a mattress as a pull out, black mold in bathroom shower, holes in ceilings and walls. Splatter in kitchen and on electric heaters. Not vacuumed under or behind things. Burners on stovetop... more

Did anyone watch the movie "Big" with Tom Hanks from the 80's. Well, if you did this hotel reminds me of the ST. James Motel he stays in when he first moves to the city. The bathroom was so small my boyfriend had to take the toilet paper off the roll to sit down on the toilet. He is only... more

They had a 3 day deal that seemed great. Even though the furniture was very dated, the room was O K. Not great, but O.K. Accessibility to a computer and free coffee in the lobby was a nice bonus. On the negative side, the walls were kind of thin, and the parking lot much too congested. As has been said... more
