OCEAN CITY MANSION

8/10 Good
"The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. I liked having a large table where I could work. I do think the room could be rearranged a little to make it easier to navigate - the fridge hard to get in and out of and there is plenty of room to put a smaller table and move things over to allow access to the fridge, add a microwave and some silverware. The cups for the espresso machine were too small to hold a full cup, which I didnโ€™t realize until it overflowed. The registration process after booking was also a bit cumbersome - having to register myself and a credit card. Overall, it was clean and worth the price in a nice neighborhood, but nothing exceptional."
