The walls are too thin. We could hear every conversation the room next to us had. Also very loud if your room faces ocean Avenue. The lady who checked us in and out did not greet Us, wish us to have a good stay, and at checkout took our key cards and that was it. Maybe she was having a bad two days, but it's nice to be greeted with a welcome to Ocean City and have a safe trip home when you check out.
The mattresses were very comfortable, even for my sister who has chronic back pain. The room was very clean.

No elevator. We were on 2nd floor and steps were hard for grandparents. Would have liked a little more space in the room. I enjoyed the tea since I didn't think the coffee had any flavor.
