We decided to return to Ocean City this year, and we returned to Ocean 7. We were again extremely pleased with that decision. This year, we stayed in Room 417, which is an ocean view efficiency on the 4th floor which had been recently renovated. The room was still a bit on the small side, but it was fine for our purposes. (We stayed in a similar room last year and it seemed much smaller, which was our only hesitation with booking this kind of room again---maybe a combination of a better use of space here and older kids with smaller stuff made it seem larger?) Again, the parking spot assigned to our room was just outside the door from the lobby, so it was really convenient to park and to leave our beach stuff in the car at night. I feel like we took advantage of more of the hotel’s extra services this year: the free DVD library, the shelves of books and games near the elevator (free to use), free hot coffee every morning, etc. The kids loved filling out the postcard given to us and the hotel mailed it for them, and they loved picking from the treasure chest on our last night there. And of course, the best thing about this place is its location. The ramp to the boardwalk is at the end of the parking lot. Beach tags are included with your stay and can be used on the day of check-out even after you’ve checked out. And I was so disappointed to realize when we were already on our way home that we left one of our own DVDs in the player in the room. I declined to have them send it to me since the postage would have cost more than a new DVD would, and was delighted to receive it in the mail several days later. Thanks, Ocean 7!!

Room tip: Ocean view rooms are worth the extra money---417 was great!

Stayed in one of the "Ocean View" suites. Had a kitchenette, jacuzzi tub, flat screen tv, and a DVD player. Extremely nice and clean room. Staff was extremely friendly. In the lobby they also have DVDs and board games that guests can use. The only thing is that it appeared that wifi is not actually free. It mentioned having 15 free minutes. After that you had to pay at the desk. Other than that extremely happy and will definitely be returning.

One night stay...cheap motel with the back of the boardwalk view...five stars? Yup. First of all it's a cheap beach motel but I will stay here every chance I get and I would recommend it to just about anyone looking to stay super close to the beach, right in walking distance of anything you need, and I've never seen a friendlier staff.

From my multiple calls to arrange for the last minute, one-night beach trip, to the cute and sincere (if not razzle-dazzle) web site, to the check-in, and check-out, what a great experience. We were two adults and two little boys (our son and a friend of his) so we wanted a suite, which was available.

The suite itself is unremarkable but has everything you need. Unless you have claustrophobia, in which case the room with the toilet and shower might make you a bit twitchy. In between the bedroom (two double beds, standard dresser/tv set up) and the living room (REALLY SPACIOUS - couch that pulls out, one standard hospital waiting room type chair, a large round table with four chairs, another large dresser and tv - is a little galley with mirror/bathroom sink on one side and a large under the counter fridge (not useful freezer compartment), two electric burners, kitchen type sink, microwave, cups/silverware/pots/pans/dishes on the other side. For our one night stay, we only used the fridge for water and a couple drinks but I could see for a longer stay where this set up could really be useful for leftovers or having breakfast/lunch in instead of going out and spending $$$.

The back bedroom and the living room each had their own heating/air conditioning units so that was a plus, and we were on the third floor which had an ice machine. The closet had extra warm snuggly blankets (three of them!) and lots of extra pillows. The bathroom and galley were stocked with plenty of bath towels.

The boys used the pool which was heated and they loved it. Also, the pool has a nice shower so you can get the sand off from the beach trip before going back into the room. The rooms each have two little plastic chairs outside the front doors in the outside "hallways" so there were a few guests out people watching.

The lobby!!! So full of surprises. It's not much size-wise but it's worth exploring. A bookshelf full of paperbacks (we read the website and saw that the "library" takes donations so we brought two grocery bags full of books to add), another full of games for guests to play. So fun! Right by the front door there is a large stand full of complimentary umbrellas to use should you need them...how lovely! A little cage full of butterflies (and I assume some caterpillars) and a small fish tank. A few comfortable couches and chairs, a little coffee stand, AND the front desk staff....

Upon check in we were greeted by a lovely woman (I forget her name) who asked if we've ever stayed, gave us the run-down, and also asked if we've been to OCNJ. I asked her for a breakfast recommendation as I thought my favorite place was closed for the season. She called to double-check and she confirmed they were closed and then told me where the locals eat - good food, cheap, and close by. When I signed my check-in agreement, she gave me a postcard with the stamp already on it for me to "make someone back home jealous!" I wrote in an address and popped the postcard in the outgoing mail basket right away - great touch. At check-out she said they had the availability to let us keep our car parked there the rest of the day and my receipt was given to me in a souvenir coffee mug!!

If you're interested in saving a couple bucks and staying inland or further away, I would caution you that what you're saving in money you're losing in sanity (if you're hauling kids and beach gear to and fro). There isn't any spectacular view from this motel but it is worth every penny to be able to go back to the a/c room and take a break or take a quick shower or nap and recharge for the rest of the day/night.

Loved this one-night stay and can't wait to get back.

Ok let's be clear, going to the beach with your family on east coast can be expensive; Ocean 7 was fairly reasonable. I gave it 4 stars not because there was a mint on the pillow but because they fit perfectly as a young family motel at the beach with clean rooms, nice pool and great staff. The 2 room suites are spacious and clean but not super modern...If you have young kids that need naps you can still watch TV and hang out in the front room. The lobby had a library and was well stocked with games as well; "Who sank my battleship" or Jinga? I liked this place and make sure you get pizza and birch beers at Manco &Mancos. Enjoy.
