Top West Ocean City Hotel Reviews

Plim Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was in good shape a wonderful day"

Hyatt Place Ocean City / Oceanfront

8/10 Good

"The hotel staff was very friendly, the hotel itself was very clean and the cleaning staff was very nice and helpful. We did see a few bugs in the room but could have came in from the sliding door. The shower water pressure was really strong but some people like that. The beach was nice but highly recommend bringing your own chairs and umbrella since they charge you for that stuff. The pools were nice and not overly crowded. The breakfast was good, you can make your own waffles and it was a nice selection of food. The parking lot fills up quickly but we did find parking on the street right outside the hotel so it wasn’t a big deal. Overall a nice place to stay."

Princess Bayside Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stayed in a bayfront balcony room, and the view was absolutely amazing. The small private beach on the bay was a wonderful bonus and a great place to relax. We also really enjoyed the rooftop pool, which offered stunning bay views as well. The room itself was comfortable, although a bit dated. That said, it certainly wasn't anything that would keep us from returning. If you're looking for a very quiet retreat, however, this may not be the best fit. We found the air conditioning unit to be quite loud, and noise traveled easily throughout the building. Room doors tended to slam, the elevator's chime could be heard frequently, and hallway conversations and footsteps were surprisingly noticeable from inside the room. While those are important things to mention, they didn't detract significantly from our overall experience. The incredible view, convenient bay access, and private beach more than made up for the noise. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back."
