Plim Plaza Hotel

Had a great two days at Plim Plaza hotel last week (May 19 and 20, 2026) before the crowd comes. We parked in the hotel parking lot. The weather was perfect and the crowds were thin and relatively quiet. I sat in the sun on their spaceous porch (love their long, wide porch that extends onto the boardwalk) reading a book while my friend walked the board walk, got in the small whirl pool twice, and we got delicious food off the Boardwalk at a local restaurant, PNC or G I believe.
I have fond memories of this hotel the past couple times I visited a few years ago wth groups. They used to have a parrot and a big lizard in the lobby a few years ago, but no longer. The desk employees were helpful and friendly. This was a great experience for us. I just wish we could have stayed longer.

I stayed at the Plim Plaza Hotel for a vacation in Ocean City, and while the location was great, almost everything else about this hotel was disappointing.

First, the room was extremely small — so small there wasn’t even a chair or table to sit and eat at. Since the weather during our trip was horrible, we ended up stuck inside more than expected, which made the tiny room feel even worse. The room had two full-size beds instead of a king, so as a couple we either had to sleep side by side in a cramped bed or separately.

The carpet throughout the hotel was filthy and uneven. I refused to walk barefoot the entire trip because it felt dirty everywhere. The hallway floors literally felt unstable, like you could fall through at any moment. It honestly felt unsafe.

Our toilet ran nonstop the entire vacation, the bathtub was cracked, and every shower sounded like “three cows fighting in the bathroom.” The fridge also did not work, which ruined a $50 steak I had saved from my birthday dinner.

I asked for an upgrade immediately after seeing the room and was told all rooms were the same. That was clearly not true because I saw several rooms during my stay that were MUCH larger and had significantly more space.

The hot tub was also disgusting — the water was literally a greenish-brown “poop color,” yet people were still getting in it.

The ONLY truly great thing about this hotel was the staff. Every staff member we encountered was friendly, helpful, and professional. They honestly deserve better conditions to work in because they were the one bright spot of the entire stay.

The location and the staff are the only positives I can mention. Other than that, this hotel desperately needs major renovations and better upkeep. I would never stay here again, even if I was paid to.

I would rate this place as satisfactory. Nevertheless, I must point out that the actual experience does not match the images displayed. The rooms are notably smaller than they appear in the pictures. The carpets in the rooms and hallways are old and it is difficult to determine their cleanliness. I was hesitant to have my feet or luggage come into contact with the floor. The presence of rust on most items in our room was also a concern. The only notable advantage of this location is its proximity to the boardwalk and the presence of a bar by the pool.
