Harrison Hall Hotel

The rooms are small, but doesn’t matter, if your planning on spending most of your time enjoying the beach and all ocean city has to offer. The hotel is a prime location for Beach and Boardwalk. The room was clean had a view of the ocean out the side of the hotel. Plenty of easy parking. Beautiful lobby, complimentary coffee, tea and hot chocolate, offered all day, and a microwave in the lobby. I enjoyed the rocking chairs on the front porch, great spot to watch the sun rise in the morning. Would stay here again.

Rooms: Dirty, Small and Smell. We are two adults and a toddler. It was INSANLY tight in there. Us adults, could hardly fit in the shower… and it took 5 minutes to get warm.. The sink is falling apart and the bathroom smells of old pee and stagnant water. The only good thing about the room is the cold ac.
Service: nothing notable except the one girl at the front desk, after dark, is high as a kite. She’s not helping with much there. The coffee machine, the only perk of this place, broke.
Location: Great if you want the Boardwalk. The food options are nice too! It’s really close to the beach too.

Parking lot is way too small and it’s tough find parking. It’s a little frustrating there. Every other hotel has ample parking and it was never an issue.

All in all, we won’t be staying here again. It was the cheapest place so you definitely get what you pay for. If you have kids, find a more family friendly hotel for sure.

Context: We are 39 year old parents of an 18-month old.

Customer Service - I emailed prior to our arrival asking about things like pack-n-plays, etc. and I got immediate responses from staff AND it was in our room when we arrived. Didn't have a lot of interaction with front desk, but they all seemed pleasant.

Rooms - The rooms are small and there are no balconies which is a downer; BUT, the hotel is right on the beach, has a beautiful atrium, complimentary coffee and a microwave. Rooms had refrigerators. A lot of people are complaining about the fact that they have carpet, but every single hotel I have ever stayed in at Ocean City, except for 1, has had carpet. I did not have the problem with cleanliness, smells or anything like that. The air conditioner was insanely loud thought. We were on the 2nd floor, which is the floor where the front desk, atrium and porch are. Beautiful space.

Pool - Very nice. Spacious, had a fenced in kiddie pool that was a foot deep so it was perfect for our little guy to go in safely. LOVED that. They also had live music and a bar each day we were there which was also a nice touch.

Location - It's location on the boardwalk is ideal because it's on the boardwalk, but up from the busier parts making for a more quiet and less crowded beach/boards experience.

Hotel Amenities - In their atrium, they also had tables and chairs set up. So even though our room was not large enough for us to eat in, we actually got carry out and sat in the beautiful area overlooking the water at an actual table. Con - Only ice machine was on the 4th floor.

Parking - Challenging. They had free parking, but the parking in front of the building was quite limited. We had to park in the auxiliary lot which was across the street, so not as convenient, however, we didn't plan on using the car much - why bother when you are on the boardwalk!

One downer of the room being small is that there was not enough room to store our beach chairs, etc. in the room, so we did have to take them back and forth to the car.

Definitely pros and cons, but it was one of the cheaper hotels that we found that checked all of the boxes we needed: boardwalk, beach access, close to restaurants/shopping, kiddie pool/adult pool, elevator, pack-n-play, etc., free guaranteed parking.

It's not the Ritz, but it met our needs and we enjoyed it. I would definitely stay there again.
