Very awesome motel!
This booking was literally 12 hrs before we got here!!
Very clean!!
The beds were great! Super soft floor with the carpeting! Very clean bathroom!! I have no complaints even the outside atmosphere with the people around, i felt very comfortable!
Ben the owner was extremely helpful even waited up for us as we got in around 1030 pm! He was very friendly ! You can tell he put some money into this place!
Ive stayed in comfort inns and this place definitely is better then that! With the quality and cleanliness!

I gotta say I’m very impressed with this TWO STAR motel.

It punches way above its weight.
1. The location is unbeatable. You literally have one of the most accessible locations in all of OC right on Baltimore and 17th.
2. Prices are unbeatable. Go look at average hotel prices in OC, then look at prices of this motel.
3. Rooms are super clean and up-to-date. I was not expecting a top notch room here. The suite was a very convenient offering.
4. Old school but charming. A nice patio-like walkway that faces Baltimore ave.
5. This probably should have been #1 but the service was impeccable. Ben was the most friendly front desk / manager I have ever met.

Our family had an amazing time!

We frequently travel to Ocean City for vacation, and this was our first stay at Crystal Sands. We will certainly be coming back! We stayed in the family room with the kitchenette and it far exceeded our expectations! The room was very spacious and very clean! The motel staff were some of the friendliest people we’ve encountered! They were super helpful with everything! The only issue was the small parking lot, however they have an additional lot a street over!
