Quality Inn Oceanfront, Ocean City

The front desk staff was professional and friendly. We (2 adults and 3 children) checked in on Sunday afternoon and there were no rooms ready just before 3:00 p.m. However, the clerk suggested that if we waited a few minutes he would see what was available. Within 15 minutes, he said that there was something on the first floor. For more privacy and security, I said that we would be willing to wait for a few minutes to see what else was available. Within 5 minutes, he got us an oceanfront room on a higher level at no additional charge. If this hotel was recently renovated, then they missed our room. While it was roomy (2 double beds, a pullout sofa bed, kitchenette, and a bath & a 1/4--i.e., 2 separate toilets), one of the toilet handles was loose, the screen to the balcony was about to fall off, there was an old loose ceiling tile that exposed a mysterious cavern, carpet was old, and the tub was either stained or dirty. Also, the appliances could have been cleaner (e.g., sticky refrigerator door handle). Parking was easy and convenient. The kids were thrilled that we were so close to the beach. They also enjoyed the indoor pool and mini-arcade. AVOID THE RESTAURANT! Breakfast service was at a snail's pace (we got there on the last day at about 10:00) and the food was not that good. We ended up checking out late (almost 11:30) because of the slow service. The front desk was sympathetic and did not give us grief.

This is a great place for families with children. We loved it! Room view is spectacular! I have never paid such a decent price for such a great view. The sliding glass doors open to the full ocean, not like some of these other hotels that offer a parial view and ledge that they call a "balcony" (Clairion Fountainbleu). It is beautiful inside with the atrium, tropical birds, fish, pool, hot tub, sauna, etc. Nice little bar in the middle of the atrium. We went in April 06, off season and got to stay for a very reasonable price. I cannot believe some of these bad reviews. I do not remember anything about the place being dirty or a "dump". Maybe because everything else was so good. Customer service was not the best, but over all we had NO complaints. Yes it is noisy with the kids in the pool and the birds, but the kids loved it. This is not the place for a "romantic getaway". It is for families with young children. I cannot wait to go back this year!

My friend and I went for a few nights of R&R during the "second season" time of year, late November. We had atrium view rooms. The room was nice enough, the pillows and beds were extremely comfortable. The bathroom was the pits, very old, luke-warm water, no plug in the tub, very low water pressure. The kitchenette was adequate. They have several Macaw's in the atrium, one in particular screeched for most of the day. The indoor swimming pool was right under my atrium view balcony. If this had been the summer I am sure I would have been very unhappy with the noise level. If you are traveling with children it would be a great place, if you're looking for peace and quiet, go elsewhere.

The service was okay. But the place was a mess: -Paint chipping off the stairs and staircases. -Untidy Bathroom(yuck!) -Bedding had stains and bed was uncomfortable. I was so disapponted and could not wait to leave. Please book your vacation somewhere else!

Recently (08/07/06) my wife and I used the points we earned using our Choice Privileges Reward Visa Card to spend a weekend at Ocean City, Maryland. We used 60,000 points to spend 3 nights in Ocean City. The first two nights we spent in Ocean City we stayed at Clarion Resort Fontainebleau Hotel. The Clarion was nice. The third night however, we stayed at Quality Inn Oceanfront, MD010. From the front desk associates to the room, from check-in to check-out, there was lets say, NO Quality. Waiting in line to check in, once I approached the front desk associates and informed them we were staying one night in the form of a reward night, they asked me to “step aside so we can check- in paying customers.” After about an additional 18 minutes, they gave us the keys to our room, room 330. One of the associates asked the other, “Did you do their paper work?” The associates response was, “no, I ain’t worried about it, they are just using points anyway.” I didn’t realize that by being a Choice Privileges Member, you are subject to such punishment and neglect for using a reward night. So we got our keys, went to our room. Our room had mold on the interior walls, which is a health violation. The entire room was very damp. After checking in I called Club Choices about switching hotels/rooms. To no surprise the hotel we were staying at was the only one in Ocean City with a vacancy. There were balls of dust and cob webs hanging from the ceiling above the a/c unit. Speaking of a/c, there was none. When I first turned on the a/c unit, it made a loud grinding noise, shortly after it just shut off. August, and no a/c, we of course did not sleep well. My wife was bit four times in her sleep, waking up with 4 itching small reddish swollen bites. I had mentioned about the a/c upon checking out, but do think anyone would apologize, no. There were more issues than that stated above. Above is what I would consider unacceptable without excuse and grounds to be reported for inspection, particularly the mold.

the only good thing here is the beach,every other person who came had a problem.room in the old section was falling apart,did not even have any temp. control in room. either freezing or hot.

We love the Tropical Atrium and the birds...Whizzer and Jessie, and Chief and all the others. The food is good at the Atrium Bar and the pool is great! WE will be there again for Sunfest and know that we will have a good experience just as we have had in our past visits.

The hotel smelled like mold. Old Appliances rusted and not cleaned. The worst Hotel ever. Everything needs to be updated. The sliding door didn't lock right. The screen door was broken. A complete dump. We checked out early couldn't take it anymore. Don't waste your money.

We go every year,we have fun no matter what the weather,we use the indoor pool more than the outside pool.The birds make it fun.
