I highly recommend the Pavilion if you are relatively low maintenance, into what Ocean City is, and also understand what Ocean City is not.
This is not the Hilton people! The people were friendly, the rooms clean and quaint. We were on the back side second floor (the 800 wing) - peak season, $179 for the night, family of four.

The room is ...

I agree, the location is great. But for the money, I had sand in between my sheets, no clock in the room, and the staff only stays until midnight. So, when there were people swimming and partying outside the room with my sleeping family, there was no one to assist. The staff told me in the morning that there is a number on the office door that we can call and someone will be over. WHAT??? In the middle of the night?

I've lost count on how many times we've stayed here. We get the apt that sleeps 8. It really sleeps 6 very comfortably. We've never had a problem with the staff. The Apt. has been in great shape upon arrival and the location is one of the best. We are going to be going there for a week in a few weeks and We will be reserving the apt. for next year 09 at the time of our check out. We stayed there on 2 different occasions in 07.

We loved this place, my family has been going to this motel for years but this was the first time in a long tim ethat I have been here. It is clean, friendly, comfortable, and great for a family or a couples getaway. The boardwalk and beach are litterally feet away from your room and the service is so great. I def. recommend this place.

Great location to reach everything, especially with two children. It was nice not having to cross a busy street. The grounds were kept clean. We even enjoyed breakfast on the patio.

This place is in the heart of everything! Rooms are very small, a little difficult for more than a couple of nights. The place is a little run down, but not dirty. And I love the pool!

I liked everything about it. It may be old but the apartments are great for a family. They are large, with a balcony if it rains. 2 bedrooms,2 TVs, aircond. full bath, full kitchen. Large dining room and living room. I love the closeness to the boardwalk, waterpark, and ocean. They also have a pool. The only reason why I gave service a 4 is ...

We found that while The Pavilion's location was convenient, there was much to dislike about this motel. The atmosphere in Ocean City, NJ is wonderful for a family, but there must be better choices in a place to stay!

For the $200 dollar a night price, this place seriously needs a renovation. The bathroom in particular was in poor condition ...

We just returned today from a few days of vacationing in OC. We found the Pavilion and were pleased with the family run business. Everything was within walking distance, the price was pretty good for being a weekend in July only 2 blocks from the beach and boardwalk. I just read where someone complained about the doors. I just wanted to say that ...
