Top West Ocean City Hotel Reviews

Princess Royale Oceanfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were very nice. Well kept very clean. The towels could use an upgrade and the small decks are not very useful. The staff were excellent very friendly, very helpful and you never seem to be bothering them. We need help from security to get in our room one day at the head of security was amazing. The gym definitely needs an upgrade very difficult to work out there you’re better off having dumbbells then the one machine that you have along with the need for a couple benches"

Tidelands Caribbean Hotel and Suites

8/10 Good

"I loved this place because the price was okay for what we got, which was a balcony room oceanfront. I loved the view and we kept the sliding door open a lot just to hear the ocean and feel the breeze. It was wonderful. The room is terribly out of date and the tv just awful. But I dont care about tv on vacation so much and so it wasn’t a big deal. But it was all worth it for the balcony and the view. Would stay here again."

Crystal Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"My room was very clean & comfortable. My friends had the 2 rooms beside me and were very pleased with the place too. The only thing I had a problem with was how high the bathtub was, especially trying to get out of it. My friends also said they almost fell because the step down out of it was so high. I smacked my leg off the tub doing so and ended up with a big black & blue mark. But we all agree that we certainly would return to stay here again!"
