Top West Ocean City Hotel Reviews

Castle in the Sand

8/10 Good

"The breakfast buffet was really good. Great price, what you would pay any where to sit down and eat. Bathroom was small but clean. The ceiling needs cleaned or repainted but it was not a big deal. Overall great stay"

Comfort Suites Ocean City West

8/10 Good

"The room was clean. The rooms staff were friendly and helpful. Parking was satisfactory. Actually even had a spot for my trailer in the back during bike week. And then there was breakfast. Not so good there was one older black woman who was fantastic and did great with what they gave here to work with on Thursday morning. Highly recommend her. The rest of the staff on the other days was horrible. They could not keep the place clean or stocked. The Juice machine was falling apart and when they weren't out smoking they weren't helping. Do not recommend the breakfast unless they get their act together. Other than that we were satisfied with our stay at this location."

Beach Bum West-O Motel

8/10 Good

"Charged peak season prices for an off season stay during hurricane September. Even though nothing outdoor could be enjoyed. Also was asked to sign away my rights to secure protection of my belongings while on this property, waive their responsibility if I got robbed while away from my room. Literally the reason for a hotel room is to safely store your items while you’re on vacation. I did not, will never sign anything giving someone a greenlight to steal my stuff."

Holiday Inn & Suites Ocean City by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The view from the room was fantastic, access to the boardwalk and beach and hotel staff were all friendly and helpful with the real standout being Gabriel in the hotel restaurant, literally the best waiter we've ever had. He was engaging, friendly and remembered us each morning. It's a touch like that which can make or break a stay. Even if we stayed elsewhere on the boardwalk in the future, we will be back to your restaurant because of the exceptional service, nice job!!!!"
