“Obnoxious Owner, Incompetent Service, Shabby Rooms”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed August 19, 2008

Our room was given away before we arrived – even after we received a confirmation number from the owner, assurances that we could arrive anytime after 3 PM, and a voicemail message with our specific room number.

The owner was rude and completely unapologetic about rectifying the situation. After over an hour of huffing and puffing and generally making us feel that this was somehow our fault, he ungraciously offered us another room, which was barely big enough to fit a double bed and extremely shabby (don't be fooled by the "virtual tour" and pictures on the web site -- the room we saw barely resembled anything in those images). We dropped off our bags in the room, but then immediately returned to the front desk to say that while we appreciated his efforts, we felt that he owed us an apology for his bad manners. His response: “You don’t have to stay here. I’ll cancel your reservation.” We accepted and immediately left, even though we had to drive over two hours to get home and it was past midnight by this time.

Wouldn’t you know it, we just found out that we’ve been charged the full amount for two nights – over $400! We’re disputing the charges with the help of the credit card company and have filed a complaint with NJ’s Better Business Bureau.

There are surely plenty of Ocean City hotels that offer decent rooms and friendly service. The Georgian Hotel isn’t one of them. It doesn’t deserve your business – it shouldn’t even be in business.

“*Vile Hotel and Shady Management*”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed August 17, 2008

Where do I start? Our room was disgusting. There were brown smears on the bathroom wall, inside the toilet, and on the underside of the bedspread! The spare blanket was balled up on the floor in the corner, presumably unwashed. The room was very tiny and dingy. My husband, my son and I were forced to share a double bed because the hotel was not able to produce the cot they had promised me when I made the reservation (and worse yet, the front desk staff was rude and unapologetic about this). We had to hang towels in the window because the blinds did not cover the window. There was inadequate parking and we parked on the street. The "large pool" was a joke - it was anything but large. Also, the rates on the website are completely dishonest - we were actually charged almost twice as much and we were told it was "discount." The "coffee and donuts" that are promised in the lobby at 8 AM were nowhere to be found - and the office was conveniently closed the entire morning. When I checked out and returned the beach tags, the staff member tried to reimburse me for only half the amount of the deposit for the tags. The ONLY good thing I can say about the place is that the location was okay - but still, at a 3 block walk to the beach, it was certainly not worth the nearly $200 nightly rate we paid. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

“Truly a dump!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed August 12, 2008

This hotel is really gross. The rooms are very small, smell and the bathrooms are just so filthy. If you insist on going here, make sure you bring your own towels, bedding and a pair of flip-flops to wear in the shower. Oh and an air-fresher. All those things will help it be a bearable stay.

On the positive side, the pool is decent and usually not crowded. Also, its in a great location. Although overpriced for what you get, its not a bad price for a hotel room in Ocean City.

“Not the Hilton!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed June 24, 2008

Location was important for us, and this hotel's location was very convenient for us. It's an easy walk to all restaurants and the boardwalk. The front porch was nice for relaxing. Everything worked fine in our room and it seemed as clean as it could be for an older facility. We stayed three nights and enjoyed our time there. The front desk staff is very friendly as mentioned previously.

However, our room was extremely small as mentioned by above posters. We had two doubles in our room and they were literally up against three of the walls with only about two feet between the two beds and at the foot of the beds. There was no closet, so the only place to hang our clothes was on a doorknob! On the second day of our stay, we did not receive any maid service. The bathroom had a ""fresh" toilet tissue roll that looked like it had been dropped in water, then dried out for us to use when the current roll was used up. Parking is tight and no one monitors the "compact car only," so mid-size and mini-vans were parked in two spots.

In short, we were satisfied, but there are other hotels that are comparable price and might be worth checking before booking at this hotel. This quaint hotel could be greatly improved with more attention to "service after the sale" or quality control in maid service.

“Absolutely Charming & Cute!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2007

We LOVED this hotel....charming, cute and clean from top to bottom...with lots of style and personality!

My wife and I were looking for a relaxing get-a-way without spending a fortune and we found it at the Georgian.

From the minute we arrived the staff was friendly and honestly wanted to help us navigate the town. We found a lovely restaurant nearby and retired to a room filled with charm and warmth.

We walked to the beach the following day and hope to return next year when the weather is more inviting for a swim. Brrrr!

Special thanks to our friend Frank who suggested the Georgian.
