10/10 Excellent

"I hadn’t stayed at the Forum in 10 years. Wow, the room have been modernly updated the pool is nice and clean! The location is great. The Front desk was managed by a young lady from Serbia ( I can’t recall her name) she was very kind!"

Watson's Regency Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Room and and rest of property was clean as could be(wife's #1priority). Beach theme and colors of room were perfect. Balcony in room 320 had a view of the pier and ocean. Bed was firm- good for some people not for others. Pillows not the best but okay, bring your own if it matters. Kitchen was a great extra with a full size refrigerator and nice size dining room table. Didn't get to use the pool but looked in and seemed wonderful. Only complaint might be kids running around- but what do you expect you're in Ocean City full of families. If that would bother you request fifth floor, book early to get the accommodation you want. Property right in the middle of everything, restaurants, block from the beach, middle of the boardwalk . Property provided beach tags was a plus and free parking! Will definitely be back next year!!"

Biscayne Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable stay we had a penthouse suite and it was right near the pool with a separate wing so you did not hear any noise in our room. Pleasant staff if you have any questions. The balcony was also very nice. The only issue would be room darkening shades as it was very bright when the sun comes up in the bedroom. Other than that a great place to stay."

Ocean Manor Inn

8/10 Good

"I booked a room with 2 queens and when I got there I was told that they did not have anymore rooms and that I would have to use a cot in a room with a king. I was offered a condo for $20 extra a night and while that itself was amazing, it wasn’t what I reserves. My concern was what would’ve happened if that wasn’t an option. The woman at the front desk told me that they are not provided contact information when hotels are booked through outside websites but I confirmed with the help desk that that is not true. Overall, a very nice place to stay, if they can accommodate you."

The Cove

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was excellent. Very clean, the owner, Michael couldn't have been a nicer person. Always asking if we needed anything. We spent a few evenings sitting on the porch, relaxing and talking with him and Kevin. Two really great guys. The hotel is family oriented. Finally, if you don't stay there, you're missing out on a great opportunity."
