Side view ocean. 4th floor. Tiny bathroom, old carpet. Nice guy at check in. Way too much $ for what it was. Wouldn't be in my top 10 places to stay in OC? You can do far worse in OC but you also can do better. More

We stayed at the Howard Johnson's Oceanfront Inn at 24th Street from May 13 to the 17th, 2012 and really enjoyed our stay. The clerk at check-in was very hospitable and there was a discrepancy about what was owed...they had a balance of $53.00 when I actually owed $159.00, so he checked us in and told us to come back...

I stayed at the Howard Johnson with my family this past weekend (9/30-10/2) and had a great time! The front desk staff was very knowledgable about things to do on a rainy day. Very friendly staff! The bathrooms were updated, and there was plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 children in the room. I'm ready to book my... More

This was my first trip to Ocean City with four children, three 15 year olds and a 9 year old. The hotel was easy to find and the staff was very nice. Our room was an oceanfront and the view was beautiful. I liked that we were right on the boardwalk on the quiet end. The rooms were clean and... More

We stayed there for a week. I was told it was an ocean front room.....yeah right! Get into the room, the door opens to a stoned area between HJ's and the next hotel, the patio door opens to the pool! Where was the ocean? Not to be found (at least to see). If we walked down 2 hallways, down a... More

Spent 3 nights here with our 3 older children. It was a perfect location, still on the boardwalk but away from the craziness. Wish there was a little more to do closer by but its only a 15 minutes walk to a cute little outside bar along the boardwalk and the tram will easily take you to the pier for... More

Our stay at Howard Johnson, 24th Street, just mediocre. The rugs were filthy; our white socks were black from walking around. The pool’s lounge chair mats were worn and in need of replacement. The blonde lady, who was some sort of a manager, was rude to guests and employees. One morning she was outside the office, poolside, screaming at employees... More
