Holiday Inn Ocean City by IHG

My adult daughter and I stayed for the New Years' Eve Weekend. Great rate, excellent rate for additional nights' stay after we had checked in. Loved the room with the fireplace, fully equipped kitchen, living room area and the beds were wonderful. Everything was CLEAN, and I never leave home without my Lysol, Clorox Wipes and Febreze to tidy a hotel room! Wonderful to have a fruit basket in the lobby along with Egg Nog and 20% coupon off our entree at the restaurant. The hotel was quiet and right down the street for our ringing in the New Year at Seacrets! We will be staying again to bring in 2013!

Stay was ok. Location was...

Liked: Beds were comfortable. Hotel was clean.
Disliked: Restaurant was under staffed and vouchers that we purchased from the hotel were not nearly enough for a full meal. Breakfast was supposed to be included. We wound up adding 35+ dollars plus trip for a two night stay for the breakfast after already paying extra for the breakfast option. Hot tub needed a cleaning.

Good

Not great

Liked: Great location within walking distance of shopping, eateries, etc.
Disliked: I did not get the “ocean view” room that I booked (and paid more money to have) through booking.com. I was told when I arrived that the “ocean view” room was “not what came through” to the hotel and that they had no such rooms available. When I inquired about the additional expense paid for the specific view I was looking for, I was first asked for “proof” that I in fact booked and paid for “ocean view” and when I produced that evidence through my booking.com confirmation, I was told to “take it up with booking.com.” As I was traveling alone with my 2 young children, I settled for the room they gave me. It was fine, but not clean. There were nail clippings on the pull out sofa, hair in the bathtub, and we all ended up sleeping in one of the queen-sized beds together, as the 2nd bed smelled of urine. Again, this was a one-night stay for us as I was traveling home to NJ from the Outer Banks and just needed a place to sleep - so we stayed. We enjoyed the location - browsing around the surf shop across the street, and dinner at a great restaurant up the road (Ropewalk) with a beautiful view of the sunset, some delicious food and drinks, as well as a place for the kids and I to play games and stretch our legs after many hours of driving. I would not go back to this hotel, but we will definitely revisit this area in the future.
