Shoreham Hotel

There are a lot of stairs, the rooms are small and dingey. There is no breakfast, no pool, and their roku tvs had multiple private netflix and YouTube accounts logged in. They should be checking their Roku's and deleting their guest's logins. Seems like they chose not to pay for a cable package, installed cheap roku's and now their guests private accounts are open for anyone to use. The room has only a TV and a refrigerator, if you want to use a microwave you have to walk down a flight of steps to the common area. They are right on the beach and next to a nice Irish pub. So if you just want to drink, go to the beach and don't mind a lot of steps and a crappy room, this should be a good cheap option. But you do get what you pay for.

I promise you don't want to miss this review. Skip past those crap reviews and read a real one. Not some high class cry baby Karen writing about how horrible it is bc I assure you it is not.
My husband, daughter's and 1 stayed here for 5 nights this past week and here is everything I have to say.
Do not let the outdated look persuade you to not stay here. Extremely clean & friendly staff.
Shoreham is right on the boardwalk. We booked an ocean view room & it did not disappoint. We certainly had a great view and an extremely short walk to the beach.
I caught the sunset 3 days in a row & it did not disappoint. Absolutely breathtaking.
The room was spacious for the most part. Bathroom a little small but hey, take your shower or do your "dooties" and get out. The fan works. Water temp and pressure was better than most places we've ever stayed.
The tv is placed funny but with the room layout, there's really no good option and we only used it for background noise at night.
The fan above the front bed wobbles so we didn't use it. (I did forget to tell them about it, oops) it just needs a screw. My dad would have done it if he had tools. Haha
The comforters are a but outdated but we always take our own blankets so I'd recommend that. The pillows were comfortable though! Nice and fluffy head clouds.
There are fairly steep stairs from lobby to 1st floor but they are manageable. If you NEED an elevator this hotel isnt for you but if you DONT NEED one and can walk steps. Take the plunge and book your stay! Just dont do the stairs drunk bc you might lose that battle. 🤣
The staff was super friendly & even let my dad come park there while we went out for dinner & such. The parking lot is pretty big but just be cautious of big trucks(thats anywhere down here). You can pull up by the lobby door to load and unload. We were able to get our parking pass at 11am day of check in. We checked in right before 3 as expected.
Cleaning staff was on point. Changed whatever we needed every day and let us have extra towels bc my teen daughters like 2 per shower 🤣
Make sure to put a towel outside the shower bc the curtain isnt quite long enough and splashes out a bit. No worries there either.
Small fridge was perfect for the things we needed cold. I do wish there were more wall outlets but its an Old building so very much expected.
There is a little smoking area outside. It would be nice to have more chairs available in that area and mayne not have it so far back in corner but again, it was no big deal. I sat on the steps and did my vaping there. There is also a hose to spray your sand covered toes before going upstairs.
In the lobby is a microwave and hot coffee/hot chocolate for anytime of day or night.
Shenanigans employees are sometimes back there by the smoking area on breaks but they don't bother anyone and basically act like you aren't there. (BTW Shenanigans has great food & also its so clean you could legit eat off the kitchen floor.(they have a pretty cool plumber guy too 🤗)
There is NO smell coming from the back of that place like most restraunts in town. No garbage smell, old food smell. I literally smelled the most amazing smelling bacon at 7am one morning (they don't have breakfast) and I was like wow not often do you smell good food out of the alleyway of a restraunt.
The ONLY actual request I have for this place is adding balconies to the 2nd and 3rd floors. (The building is prob too old fpr that but its okay) That would be absolutely ideal but again not needed. Im just spoiled and grew up every summer down the street at beach walk hotel since I was 10.
This is the 2nd hotel ive ever stayed at in ocean city and after being so spoiled for 24 years at our home away from home(our friends sold the hotel so we don't stay there anymore) I am fully satisfied with my first ever stay at another hotel--shoreham.
I can't say what the non full ocean view rooms are like but I promise our room is a winner in our book.

6/15-6/17. Room was a queen single-very small. But it was for me and my kids 9&8yr olds. So it worked for us. Tv remote didn’t work, so had to use the tv buttons. Keys for locks not card. Ac worked, bed comfy. Location is great it’s next door to my cousins diner (sunrise diner) amazing breakfast just saying. Bathroom ceiling had stains and falling apart. Shower curtain looked eh. Tub peeling, water took forever to warm up. Yes your above the shenanigans bar so it will be loud. Seemed to be clean, I stripped the bed before bringing anything in the room. So that pass! Desk person was nice.. window view of beach. No pool.
