Holiday Inn & Suites Ocean City, an IHG Hotel - Ocean City, Maryland

We have nothing bad to say about this hotel. Nicest one I’ve stayed at on the boardwalk. Nice to have the windows open at night to listen to the waves crash. Beautifully decorated for Christmas. Very polite, welcoming and accommodating staff. Beautiful sunrises. Just can’t say enough. Will definitely be our hotel from now on.

Beautiful experience at this hotel for the first time here. We had a beautiful high rise suite with an ocean view. Room was clean. Beds were comfortable. Air conditioning was ideal. It was heavenly to just sit outside of our room to hear & see the ocean. We love watching the sunrise and the ocean whether it be a cloudy or sunny day. The bed was comfortable. The jacuzzi was relaxing. Having a kitchen & large fridge to cook and keep food was very convenient. We ate all our meals in our hotel suite. We worked out at the gym in the hotel and were impressed with all its amenities. It was a true ideal vacation staying here.

A nice off-season option in Ocean City. The location is a bit of a walk from where the action is at the end of the boardwalk. The rooms are a little dated but ours was clean and had a nice view. There are no showers during the off-season to wash off sand, so plan accordingly. The warm pool was a plus. The breakfast was a bit basic, but there are not many other options in the area during the late Fall. Overall a nice stay for us.

Two of us went for a long weekend. It has a great location right on the boardwalk. There is plenty of free parking. It was beautifully decorated for the holidays. There is an indoor pool for use in the winter. They have an on-site restaurant. The rooms were fine and we had a nice size balcony. We did find some food on the floor that was not from us and not vacuumed up! That was gross. We asked the night before if we could get late checkout as we are loyal to members and they said yes 2:00 p.m., just call in the morning and tell them. When I called in the morning they said no only noon. I said are you sure because they told me too and they said, noon is the best I can do. Kind of annoying. They have soap in the shower and the bathroom, the pump ones. 4 elevators!

We stayed here last night. The rooms were VERY clean. Staff was VERY nice. Some design flaws to the hotel itself though. The first and most obvious is the jacuzzi/shower. Getting out of the jacuzzi is an Olympic feat. If you are making a reservation I would suggest asking if they have any handicap rooms. I don't know if they do or not but if you are not very limber getting in and out of this tub is going to be hard. Plus everyone thinks a rainfall showerhead is luxurious until they have to use it. Especially if they don't want to get their hair wet. Trying to navigate around the water to get to the dispensers that are locked to the wall and you end up stubbing your toes on the water stopper. We technically had two rooms because they were adjoining. The first room had a nice rainfall shower head where everything fell straight down. The second rainfall shower head in room 510 was like somebody who doesn't know how to milk a cow was suddenly milking 35 cows by hand all the same time and streams of water were going in a thousand different directions.

The restaurant pool area is a little awkward. I can see the appeal of being able to see your kids play in the pool from the bar, but the area is so big that screaming kids echo in the room and if you're trying to sit down and enjoy a meal, it's not going to happen. I would suggest frosting the glass between the restaurant and the pool but leaving the glass that points to the bar from the pool clear. It's just very weird eating in a restaurant and having people half naked a few feet away that you don't know. And I'm sure it's weird on the other side as well. And because it's awkward, only kids were using the pool. Adults don't really use it because there's people literally fully clothed eating their food just feet away. Also in auditoriums a lot of them have noise absorbing things hanging from the ceiling, something like that might help with screaming kids disrupting people eating dinner. When it comes to the restaurant/ bar, expect large portions for food but small portions for drinks. I got charged $10 for a shot of liquor. And my friend's bloody Mary was in a small cup and they charged her $12 for it. The restaurant and bar staff though are very nice. Shout out to our waiter this morning for breakfast. I unfortunately forget his name, however he was from Romania joking that he was from Transylvania. He made our table laugh and poked a few jokes.

There’s honestly nothing bad I can say about the Holiday Inn. The front desk was super accommodating with a changing room, towel & pool passes before we got our room and after we checked out. We had a clean room with new towels, more coffee K-cups everyday, and the cutest arrangement on the beds of all of our kids’ stuffed animals they brought! Shout out to Sara! The jacuzzi tub in the bathroom was perfect after a rough day in the ocean, which is #1 on the kids’ favorite list! There was plenty of storage space in the room between the drawers and closets. It was nice having a little separation between the bedroom and living room. For instance, when someone wanted to go to sleep early, it was no problem for the rest of the family to just watch TV in the living room. The mattresses were comfy. In fact, my husband’s neck and back feels the best it has in years! The room was nice and quiet. Our kids, ages 10 and 8, enjoyed the pools so much! What a blast! The server from the deep end pool bar was really nice and got us the best drinks! They even put little gummi sharks and whipped cream in the strawberry daiquiri (no alcohol of course) for our daughter! And man, the view of the ocean from our room and the pool was heavenly. We can't wait to go again!

This is the best hotel to stay in when you are here in Ocean city. the room are the cleanest I have ever seen, the bathroom is as big as the bedroom, the shower head is in the ceiling, the bathtub is also a hot tub, where I stayed on the 7th floor the balcony was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE (see picture below) if you want to stay in Ocean city this is the place to stay.

P.S the fishers popcorn store is way down the board walk, but at the snack bar in the lobby they sell it.

Awesome experience at this hotel/resort. We had a poolside room on the lobby level which was great for us with a toddler. Room was clean, with a full kitchen, all appliances worked. No musty smell and room didn't feel damp or humid like many beachfront hotels tend to. The restaurant has great food and the service was top notch. The servers by the pool and in the restaurant were fantastic, giving this more of a resort feel than just a standard hotel. The lazy river kid's pool has 2 functioning slides with life guards present. Overall great experience, would book again if we return to Ocean City for another vacation.
