Detailed Reviews
We have stayed at the Flanders many times over the years and it is by far our favorite place to stay! We stayed in a 2 bedroom Lanai Suite which unfortunately was unavailable on check-in due to a power outage during the tropical storm (no fault of the hotel). The manager Tiffany could not have been more accommodating. She set us up with alternate rooms and even sent a staff member to check that the rooms had full power and air conditioning before checking us in. Luckily, the power was restored the next day and we were promptly moved into the Lanai Suite first thing in the morning. Every staff member was pleasant and professional. Can't wait to go back in a few weeks for another weekend!! The Flanders always exceeds our expectations!

I have been going to the Flanders with my family for several years. With the whole thing going on with Covid, it was nice for all of us to get together. This year at the Flanders was really disappointing. We are a large group so we book the Lanai suites. The suite they put us in was not in the best of shape. TV in the living room had lines in the screen, the layout was condensed, clean, but sand all over the floor and the blinds were broken (missing pieces) so you really did not have that much privacy or darkness in the rooms when the lights of the amusement park are on. When we first arrived, it took forever to get checked in. I do not think they had a full staff caring for the rooms. During our stay, our room lost power due to the storm. The other Lanai suites and the main hotel were fine so I cannot fault them for that. However, after a while, I went to the front desk to get an ETA on when the room would be fixed and they did not even know we lost power. Fast forward several hours later to the evening, we still have not heard from anyone from the hotel so my wife and I went to the front desk to see what is going on and see what our sleeping arrangements were going to be since we were not spending hundreds of dollars a night to sleep in a powerless 82 degree room. They accommodated our family with a couple of rooms for the night. The only thing is who knows what they would have done if I did not have to ask them. Also since the Lanai suites are in a different section of the hotel, we had no access to a cart so I had to lug everything myself up and down stairs (luggage, food, toys...) in the dark. It would have been nice if someone from the hotel offered to help but I did not ask since they were not even capable of providing me with a flashlight so I can see in the hallway. The rooms they provided were on two different floors which did not help. The rooms were absolutely beautiful, which made me wonder why the Lanai suite I was placed in was so dumpy. The next day, I happened to go downstairs and saw the front of the hotel and the parking lot where we parked were flooding due to the combination of rain, wind, and no drainage in front of the hotel and in the lot. Had to run upstairs to both rooms, grab everyone's keys and moved the cars so they would not flood. Had to walk across knee deep water to get into the lot and moved everyone's cars to the lot in front of the salon. Keep in mind that no one from the hotel informed us that the road and parking lot were flooding. What pissed me off was after I moved the cars to the other lot, someone from the hotel had the balls to tell me when I am going to move the cars back since the lot was for the salon and restaurant and not guests. Told him I would move the cars when the hotel provides me with a boat to put them in and thanked him and the front desk for letting guests know about the flood. At the end of the day, it felt like they were overwhelmed and not really prepared.

This is the second time my brother Walter and I have stayed at the Flanders Hotel, and we shall be returning many more times. We stayed in Suite 902 (Ocean Front Penthouse), a two-bedroom, three-bathroom suite with a lovely large living room, a great dining room area and a fully stocked kitchen with all appliances, plates, glasses, flatware, etc. There are 3 balconies with 2 facing the ocean and 1 facing south to afford a beautiful view of the bay and sunset to the west. The conditions of the suite and the entire hotel are excellent. The staff is friendly, efficient and accommodating. Emily's Oceanfront Restaurant has excellent food and service at moderate prices. The hotel is well located near all of the best Boardwalk attractions and shops. Thank you, Flanders Hotel, for such a restful, relaxing vacation in Ocean City, NJ.

Just spent Friday 9/11 to 9/13/20 in theTerrace penthouse room 905. Was stuck on the Main Elevator first day and elevator going up to the Penthouse on the second day. Talk about drama! we requested proof of inspection which is not displayed the front desk did show it to us. There were repairs . When we told them the elevator door does not stop when you put your arm in it. The manager Pete was dismissive and condescending. I wish this was the only issue we had but as bad as being stuck twice in 2 different elevators and walking 11 floors numerous times it is not. There was a leak under the master bedroom sink where all the towels are stored in a basket . When tried to call down to front desk we discovered neither of the 2 phones worked. The master bedroom has only half of the glass door. Tile floor was soaked. Fitted sheet on pull out was dirty. Tub in downstairs bedroom had to be fixed to drain. Twin bed wheel bent had to place a pillow under it to keep bed even. Washer or dryer did not work. Tried drying wet towels. Load of wash was stuck in washer . Room was never cleaned on Sat. Did get clean towels handed to us. Wet towels and garbage finally removed late Sat night. Maggie at the front desk was amazing. Griffin Manager of front desk was very helpful . We requested to be refunded one night and free breakfast. Pete decided free breakfast and $300 gift card to be split by 8 people. Reported elevators to elevator safety unit of NJ do not want anyone else to have that awful experience. Breakfast was very good Jasmine was a wonderful waitress. Store is an eclectic mess but we managed to spent our 37.50 each. Will not ever return. One night at the least should have been refunded.

I wanted to love this hotel because of the location and the suite set up. I’ve been searching for a hotel to go for a week next year. We stayed for three nights over Labor Day weekend. We paid a $10 fee in order to eat at Emily‘s room restaurant for dinner. I was trying to have a good meal and willing to pay for it rather than eat on the boardwalk. It was expensive and the food was awful. I talked to the manager of the restaurant, and the front desk twice. They told me they would issue a partial refund but they never did.
One morning I stopped at the restaurant to get bagels to go, They told me to come back in 20 minutes. I did and they never put the order in so I had to wait for it. And, when I got to the room, the bagels were charred black. I did like the room set up, there was a lot of space. The sofa bed could be pulled out, and someone could still sit in the chair, and at the kitchen table. It’s a full kitchen with a large refrigerator. I liked that the bathroom was separate from the bedroom. So my son has slept on the sofa bed could use the bathroom without coming into the bedroom.
I did find a Millipede in the bathroom. because it’s so close to the beach?
The pillows were very flat and hard. I had wished I would’ve brought my own pillow!
Overall, the stay was fine, maybe the front desk is not responsive because of short stuff for Covid? Maybe that’s the problem with the restaurant?

Thank you for your feedback. We are very disheartened to hear of your experience. This does not come anywhere near our service standards. We will definitely have a coaching discussion with our restaurant manager/staff as well as share your feedback. I do hope you will contact me directly at frontdesk@theflandershotel.com , so we can get your compensation issued as promised. We appreciate your patience as staffing shortages severely impacted our ability of operation, however this is no excuse for the delayed service with the front office. Despite your negative experience we would love a chance to make it right. I would like to extend an invitation to you and your family to experience the service you deserve the next time your travels should bring you to Ocean City.

Our room was spacious and seemed clean enough, but and this a a big but, our sheets were dirty. Pulled the covers back and there were lots of hairs - not ours! When I called housekeeping they brought up two damp flat sheets and said they would come back later with fitted sheets, but they never did. We couldn’t sleep in wet sheets so we had to remove all hair ourselves and sprayed a ton of Lysol. Especially during pandemic - this was completely uncomfortable. We did not sleep well. Clean sheets should not be too much to ask for - but at this place it is.

I am writing this review in hopes that the General Manager and Director of the Hotel & Banquet Operations reads it. Allow me to begin that we were Summer residents of Ocean City for 5 years and then full time residents for over 20 years. We always had our home so we didn't need to stay at The Flanders, but we always wanted to. The hotel is an island landmark and we have attended Easter & Mother's Day brunches many times and always had a great time. So as you can imagine it was a total surprise that our stay was so poor. We had planned to stay in the penthouse, however between a water leak and also a live bat in our room, we switched rooms. Without those issues the room was musty and humid, the furniture was old, faded and smelled. I was shocked at the "penthouse" standard. Our next room was a 3 bedroom unit. It's clear the privately owned units are not kept up with standards of the hotel. The unit was filthy. The housekeeper who mopped our room - at our request - even stated & used "three rags to clean the floor, that never happens". The AC grates were covered in dust. The furniture was stained and faded. Again, we were excited to stay at the island landmark and we were totally shocked at the appearance. The hotel in general was moist, the awnings outside are totally full of bird waste and we were just shocked at the quality of the amenities in general. The staff on site was mortified of our experience in the penthouse and they did try their best to accommodate us. The location...you cannot beat. We had young kids so being on the boardwalk was key. I was really let down about our stay. It was 25 years in the making and a total disappointment. As an operations manager, I was appalled by these standards. I hope this review catches the eye of those who NEED to read it and make some changes.

We stayed in a suite apart from the high rise section. Ocean City is a dry town, so you have to buy wine, etc before you go over either of the bridges that take you to to OC. The suite had a very complete kitchen including a full size range, refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher. This was a great asset, because there weren't many places nearby to dine out nearby as it was off season. Guests need to know that going from the front desk to the suite with a luggage cart requires an uphill push up the outside ramp. The suite was very quiet and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Our group held a dinner in the Garden Room, and it was done very professionally. Unfortunately there was a wedding happening in the hotel in another ballroom, and the DJ had the bass cranked WAY up. It was a nuisance that should have been controlled, as it was felt throughout the hotel until quite late.

We stayed in room 905 for the weekend of March 4th to March 7th for our son’s wedding at the Flanders. Rehearsal dinner, Wedding and Morning after breakfast were great, food was good, plentiful and the staff were friendly and spot on. If only the room lived up to the rest. Room was dirty and dusty - looked like it had been cleaned. Dust, smudges and fingerprints everywhere. Wallpaper on the ceiling was peeling off, patio door was swelled and hard to open, private elevator got stuck between floors and master bathroom has ceiling bulbs out. Next day the cold water handle came off faucet and we had no cold water in the master sink rest of the weekend. When you are paying the highest price in the hotel for the signature suite, you would not expect these issues! Had maintenance up twice to fix bulbs and try to fix sink and elevator. I would avoid room 905 - book room 902 right below it for a nicer room with better ocean view. The newlyweds had that room and it was so much nicer than our tired room.

We always enjoy our time at the Flanders and this recent visit was no different. The location a few steps from the boardwalk make it perfect for my mother who is in her 80’s and the rooms all being suites is so helpful. I was especially impressed with how quickly the staff responded when I realized I had left my house keys behind in a dresser drawer. They mailed them right away and received them in just 2 days. We look forward to visiting again next year.

I believe a MR. Coffee type machine. But we did not use it as it was much more pleasing to do early morning walk on the boardwalk and hit the local shop for coffee and tea.
It definitely is not a 2 star hotel. I have no idea why they would rate it that. The suites are beautiful and clean. There were carts for tranporting luggage to the room. We never had to wait long for an elevator. Check-in and check-out was very efficient. You can pull in to their loading area which is underoof to unload your car then drive right across the street to their parking lot. The pool was a nice size and never crowded. We ate at their restaurant when we stayed there in June. The service was horrible and the food was well below par. Our meals were served, and we had no silverware. We had even asked for some previously. Our waiter was not trained very well. I would not recommend eating at their restaurant.
Hi,
There is one parking spot per room. There is additional parking that can be purchased. It is a $15.00 charge per night. It is on a first come first serve basis. This parking if available can be purchased at the front desk.
There is not a place to store your beach chairs, I aoplogize.
If you go directly to their website you can view available dates to suit your needs. I would do it asap to get what you want.
