A few friends and I had made reservations to stay at the Blue Water Inn in Ocean City, NJ while participating in the City to Shore MS 150 charity bike ride. Upon arrival, the rooms were extremely unsanitary, complete with blood stains on the bedsheets and stagnant water in the tub when we got to the room. We asked for... More

The hotel was ok, it was kinda a last minute and because it was during the 4th of July, places were limited. The hotel was well lit and the pool option was nice (though it was never clean and very small) The walls were paper thin as were the sheets. I guess if you wanted your skin exfoilated while you...

Rooms are very small, dirty, old and disgusting. The lights dont work...the shower is gross (wore flips flops). The pictures online are very... More

The Blue Water Inn, Ocean City, NJ is a great place to stay! Only 1-1/2 blocks from the beach and boardwalk! The staff was very friendly and helpful, rooms clean and well kept. Free breakfast month of July and August, which was very good! The price for the room was great too, best I could find when I was booking... More

The list is endless. No Parking when you arrive, the lobby looks and smells old and musty. Beware, the rooms look NOTHING like the ones one line. Beds are old, rooms very small, the shower was very small, poor water service, very little hot water. The Hotel advertises breakfast, but the day we were there,nothing. No Coffee, signs pointing you... More

We booked a unit for 6 people and found that there were only two full-size beds and little room left for more people to sleep on the floor. The bathroom was at one end so we had to pass the other room to get there. Overall it was cramped, a bit of rundown, and uncomfortable. Parking was an issue too.... More

In my experience, the Blue Water Inn is not the hellish hellhole of hell some reviews have painted it to be. The hotel is adequate. I stayed in a queen sized room with my girlfriend. It was not much bigger than the bed, with room for our bags and the sides and a small alcove to hang things on. The... More
