Holiday Inn Ocean City

Your experience will depend on if you get a renovated room or not - there needs to be a way to select when booking. The website pictures renovated rooms, but many rooms do not look like that. Old rooms are disgusting, smell like stale smoke, black stain the tub, dirty carpet, broken furniture and super uncomfortable bed. They look like you are in a roadside motel. We asked to switch and we're given a renovated room, which was very nice and clean. I love the full fridge and kitchenette. I did almost fall in the tub - very slippery.
Beach is super close, and they have nice outdoor facilities with hammocks and fireplace. Pool is small and although they have 2 hot tubs, we only went once. Pool area is very old and run down, condensation falls on your head from the ceiling.
Reception was very nice, offered a giftcard for late check in and accommodated late check out. I would only come back again if we could get the renovated room guaranteed.

On the water front the location is excellent. But the rooms are exceptional with its size and the amenities. Fridge, stove, microwave and coffee machine. Two large queen beds ITS SPACIOUS.
They have an Italian restaurant called touch of Italy that is really unique. Deserves a separate review as it’s a 5 stars restaurant and service.

I recently stayed two nights in mid-February. It was my first time back since the remodel. Wow!! Love the new look in the lobby and in my room! They have been updated to brighter colors. My room was very comfortable. A few changes included replacing the sofa bed with a love seat couch, removing the wall-length mirror, and replacing the large stove/oven with a countertop stove. The staff was as gracious as always. Already looking forward to my next visit!!
