Simple Life Motel

I came here for a vacation. The rooms were quite spacious. There were two beds on a sofa. An electric stove was available, along with a fridge. A table was already set up in the room. It was really nice and large. We didn’t do much research beforehand. We simply went there. We checked out several hotels, and all of them were quite pricey except for this one, which was reasonably priced. They required a deposit, which we were a bit hesitant about, but we went ahead because it was very affordable. Even the deposit was less compared to other hotels nearby. The room was spacious, and I absolutely loved it. The hotel had two outdoor pools and one indoor pool. I preferred the outdoor one. The surrounding area had some chipped paint, but I didn’t mind because the pool was fantastic. It’s marked as 3 feet deep, but it felt more like 4 feet, so just be cautious. I wasn’t a fan of the indoor pool; it felt too stuffy for my liking, so I stuck with the outdoor pool. There was a McDonald’s right across the street, which I really enjoyed. I would definitely come back!

I had a confirmed reservation from Thursday, August 14th, 2025, to Saturday, August 16th, 2025, which I booked over a month and a half in advance. Without any warning, my reservation was abruptly canceled, leaving me with no accommodations and forcing me to find last-minute alternatives at more than double the original cost.

No explanation was provided for the cancellation. My messages were read but completely ignored, and when I called directly, I received no assistance whatsoever. This level of unprofessionalism is absolutely unacceptable.

The complete disregard for customer communication, lack of accountability, and failure to provide even basic support in resolving the situation demonstrate not only a lack of professionalism but also a clear indifference to guests’ time, money, and travel plans.

I am extremely disappointed and frustrated with this experience. I will never book here again and strongly advise anyone considering this place to look elsewhere. Spare yourself the stress and find an establishment that values its customers.

Not a two star motel. It is old and needs repairs and rehabilitation. Brown water and mold in tub. No daily maid service. Be aware that if you request a change of your room for being dirty and unclean they will use the innkeepers exemption to the Maryland Eviction statute and evict you so they can keep your security deposit and room rental. So be careful on booking s stay at this motel. This motel is part of ocresorts.com that includes it's sister hotel the Flamingo.
