Review: Quality Inn Oceanfront Hotel in Ocean City, Maryland

Quality Inn Oceanfront in Ocean City, Maryland is a hotel that might not be the most modern in Ocean City but does have a great location for guests who enjoy visiting the clubs and bars in Ocean City. It is within a short drive or walk to some of the most popular ones. The Quality Inn Oceanfront is a hotel in Ocean City, Maryland located at 5400 Coastal Highway. This puts it within a five to ten minute walk of one of the most popular bars or clubs in the beach resort town. That club is Seacrets, located on bayside in Ocean City, Maryland. The Quality Inn Oceanfront hotel as you can guess from the name is located on the Ocean side of Ocean City. This means you can be close to the beach, but within walking distance to the clubs if you stay at The Quality Inn Oceanfront hotel in Ocean City, Maryland.

The rooms tend to be a little on the older side at Quality Inn Oceanfront in Ocean City, Maryland. The rooms include either one king bed or two double beds. There are quite a few efficiency units for those that wish to cook while you are on vacation. These rooms tend to show their age as the carpet is worn and on the dirty side, and the walls could clearly use new paint. Amenities in the rooms include cable television, a microwave, refrigerator, and VCR. These rooms run a little high during peak season with rental rates of $224 to $300 per night. Yes, the hotel is oceanfront, but I would expect better maintained rooms at that cost.

The staff at the Quality Inn Oceanfront in Ocean City, Maryland is very friendly though, and the hotel does have a lot of amenities that can keep you out of your room and entertained. There is an exercise room and game room for both adults and older children. There are two pools, both an indoor one that is heated and an outdoor pool. The Quality Inn Oceanfront in Ocean City, Maryland also has a sauna. For outdoor entertainment there is a playground for children and outdoor tennis courts for older kids and adults. Keep in mind though that the tennis courts are not lit, so play is not possible after dark.

The location might not be as great for families with young children as it will be for those that want to visit the bars and clubs. The hotel is located well away from the boardwalk so you will either need to drive and find parking you must pay for near the boardwalk, or take the bus. The buses in Ocean City, Maryland are very clean and run on a regular schedule. You can pay one price and ride all day, I recommend this option for those that don't need to bring a stroller to the boardwalk. If you need to bring a stroller, then you should drive to the paid parking lots.
