I’ll start with the positives: location and friendly staff. It is oceanfront, right on the boardwalk of OCMD. This is the ONLY reason this place would ever have repeat customers, I’m convinced. The staff I ran into were friendly and helpful when asking where things were located or if we needed towels, etc.
The negatives: where to even start. It is dirty, rundown, downright unpleasant to even be in the room. Carpet is filthy and damp at all times. Room wreaked of smoke, hallways smelled of mildew and urine. Every surface I wiped off was brown with filth. Bathrooms are smelly and unkept. The outdoor pool has a mat laid down on the concrete that is slimy and dirty, soaked at all times of course, covered in seagull poop. Indoor pool has an abundance of algae growing around the perimeter and even on the concrete floor. Hot tub was absolutely disgusting with brown foam— we did not go anywhere near it. Water in both pools is cloudy and does not smell of chemicals at all (wish it did). The “pool bar” is open to the public and not even accessible because it is so crowded. The pool gates are not locked, so I witnessed bar patrons walking into the pool for only a few minutes to undoubtedly use it as a bathroom, then go right back to the bar. From the condition of everything else, we did not even attempt the indoor restaurant.
My family is low-maintenance, so we still made the best of it and had a great trip to OCMD, but we deliberately spent as little time as possible in our room
