This is our favorite spot to stay in OC. The manager is very accommodating and friendly along with his staff. He allowed our two dogs to join us for Easter at no additional cost and best of all we have been able to leave our car in his lot after check out to spend the day on the beach and... More

We just stayed here the first weekend in May, and are always happy to return. John Capalbo, the Manager, is awesome and friendly, and always goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and great. He provides a daily breakfast w/fresh, hot coffee, bagels, and other baked goods, a smile and is filled w/information about the ocean city area.... More

My husband and I spent the weekend in April. The room was clean and comfortable. Nothing fancy, but for the amount you pay, it was a good value. You can walk right onto the boardwalk. They offer a continental breakfast if you wish to partake. John, the manager, went the extra mile for us when my husband left his kindle... More

John Capalbo is a warm and friendly host providing an excellent breakfast each morning. This is our second trip and we plan on returning again next... More

We really stumbled upon the Ocean Front Motel. We decided to see an ocean town that we don't usually visit. As it happened, we decided to stay overnight because we didn't want to leave. After calling several places, we discovered the Ocean Front had the best rates. The man who checked us in was very friendly. We opened the door... More

My family and I at the last minute decided to head to Ocean City, NJ for a quick getaway. We arrived in town and went for a bike ride on the boardwalk. As we were biking around we saw a small motel right on the boardwalk that fronted the beach. We decided to check it out. We were greeted by... More

I had some friends come down from PA last minute and wanted a night at the shore. I called the first number I saw when I looked up hotels in Ocean City and the Ocean Front Motel came up, so we headed there. The man on the phone was very helpful with letting me know all the information. We got... More

I had the opportunity to stay at this little hotel last week and I'm really looking forward to my next visit. If you're wanting a luxury hotel, this is NOT it. If you're looking for a place that makes you feel at home, you'll love it here. My room was clean and comfortable and John made sure to check with... More
