The Lankford Hotel

Had an impromptu stop on a Saturday in Ocean City with a group of 11 of us. I didn’t expect to find any decent hotels available last-minute and wasn’t expecting much from some of the old photos of the Lankford rooms.
When we arrived, we were able to check in early which was nice so we could get out to the beach. Bryan at the desk was extremely helpful and made sure we were able to park and get rooms or “apartments” close to each other on the same floor. The place isn’t anything super fancy but was clean, cute, and more than functional for the night. The location is perfect.
The only negative was we did have some tiny ants in one of the bedrooms

Location is great just on the boardwalk. I’d love to mention a very outstanding customer service receptionist his name was Brian.
Even though it was a very busy time checking in other guests he was very calm, quiet and helpful. He was answering all our questions politely and precisely and accommodate us in no time while he was helping other guests as well.
Brian, thanks again for all your help!!!
Highly recommend this place.

On the morning of checkout, a white Caucasian male (unfortunately, I didn’t get his name) came to our room to inform us of the checkout time. We greeted him with a friendly “Hi” and “Good morning,” but he didn’t respond and maintained a blank, unwelcoming expression — making us feel as though we weren’t wanted there. It seemed either he had an issue with how we looked, or he was simply having a bad day. If it was the latter, perhaps he should have taken the day off, or at the very least, managed his emotions more professionally, especially given that he works in the hospitality industry.
