Park Place Hotel

Our stay at park place started with being told we couldn’t park in the parking lot upon arrival. We arrived at noon as we do every year with no issues. After a short conversation, they gave us a parking pass but later unknowingly billed us nearly 50$ for 3 hours until we were able to officially check in. Keep in mind, we paid this place $1800 for 4 nights. This was the first indication that this place was not for me. The two daytime girls at the desk looked completely miserable and unapproachable which unfortunately for us were the ones you would typically have to deal with. The cleaning staff were great and personable. Maybe they should work the front desk. The rooms were a little small but average size and were in decent shape. The ocean front balcony is small though. The coffee was included and was good. One interesting thing was no place to rinse feet off before entering the hotel. You would think they would want to limit the sand entering the building. Finally on the last day, we checked out on time, after cleaning up our room as we always respectfully do just to be told again about parking. They were sure to mention at 11 am sharp our parking pass was no longer valid and we couldn’t keep our vehicle in the lot. (we were going to hang out for a few extra hours and get lunch on the boardwalk). I again had to drive nearby and pay 40$ for a couple hours while there were at least 12 open spots of parking as we saw a lot of people also checking out. They would even let me pay to keep our vehicle in the lot. If it wasn’t for the girls at the deck and parking, I would stay again but for me those two reasons are why I won’t. If I wanted to hear about policy’s and rules, I would have stayed at work. This is the kind of stuff that can sour a stay and make you want to visit an entirely different beach all together which stinks but we have been coming here for 20 years. I do want to again mention the cleaning staff. They were soo nice and I would have left them a tip but after being whacked 100 bucks for parking a total of 6 hours I wasn’t giving this place any more $. Below are pics other people complaining about the parking situation.

The Location is the only thing I actually liked. The parking area is very small, the handicap parking is close to the front door, and the lay out was not great. The room was $600 a night it served a purpose but it was not worth it. The toilet sit on the ground and the seat was crooked. The shower seemed dirty looking to me. The water pressure truly was terrible it was pressure washer strong or it dribbled out while you actually showered. The staff in the morning was nice but the afternoon did not seem as nice. The amenities like fresh towels for the pool or the beach is nice and the complimentary chairs on the beach is nice. The location on the board walk was perfect. I would stay here again at a third of the price, I will not be back at the price we paid.

My husband and I stayed at Park Place Hotel, Ocean City, MD, in April. It was just an overnight stay. We enjoyed it so much that we booked a 3 night stay in July. Every staff member was very friendly and kind. The hotel was always clean and efficient. The hotel staff was always very busy keeping up with cleaning and replenishing items. Our room was fantastic. I highly recommend Park Place Hotel to anyone who wants to visit Ocean City. I actually have recommended it to 25 people.
Thanks, Park Place for a very enjoyable experience.
