• The view.
• Unfriendly staff, dingy rooms.

“Don't let the photos of this place fool you, it is not as pretty or clean as it looks. While my family and I were there, the fire alarm went off 4 times; a fire alarm that could only be turned off each time by the Ocean City Fire Department which took about 15 minutes each time. This started at 8am, occurred again around 2pm, and twice in a row around 1am. We were told it might have something to do with the rain. (They aren't equipped to handle rain?) The man at the front desk had zero sympathy as a woman with an autistic child, who would not get out of the car because of the alarm, asked for her money back and to be checked out. He told her that he couldn't give her a refund and that she would need to call whoever she booked the room with. He wouldn't give her a receipt or any proof of what had occurred. He told the group that had formed in the lobby that we would all have to wait to talk to the morning manager. The morning manager somehow had less sympathy and offered no apology for what had happened. As we talked to other guests we were told that some rooms smelled of mildew, some were dripping with water, some had pools of water collected on carpets. And one couple said they were moved from a room that had been infested with fleas. Our room has a great view. That is the only good thing I can think of to say. Before the alarm situation, the staff was unfriendly and unhelpful. The rooms are dingy. I can't even stand to walk on the carpet with my bare feet. And the WiFi doesn't reach everywhere. Good luck to future guests. Don't bring any good expectations.”

• The view! The staff was very friendly.
• A little dated.

“It was a nice family experience. The restaurant was a little small but the help made up for that. But what can be bad waking up looking out over the Ocean.”

• Pretty good location, staff was very friendly.
• The bathroom floor was disgustingly dirty.

“If the bathroom floor was not so disgusting I would say that you are getting a pretty good room for the price.”

• Being close to the beach & the boardwalk.
• Smell of smoke in the rooms.

“We were in town for a bachelorette party and had a wonderful time @ the Howard Johnson. We loved having the pool, the hot tub, and the convenience of the Satellite Coffee Shop. We would definitely stay there again.”
