Bathroom was larger than I've seen in Shore motels. Has a pool which is great as well. Be sure to be nice to the older man at the... More

No frills. A clean, quiet room, 5 min from the beach. Inexpensive. Has a pool. If you travel with young kids, you can put them to bed after a long night on the boardwalk, sit outside the motel room and relax with a bottle of wine and some pizza. It's all you need at the beach. Why spend more? I... More

My wife and I decided that we wanted a nice relaxing vacation this year. We chose Ocean City NJ. This resort town is very family oriented, there is no alcohol. OC is a dry town. If you need to buy alcohol you can cross the bridge to Sommers Point. We searched for a place to stay that was close to... More

This is my second review of SS. I can't stress enough that if you do some research on this property, you will be pleased. For me, travel is all about the expectation. Expectation is based on not only what you hope for, but should include, at least,a little bit of research. SS is nice, small motel turned condo. Each unit... More

My son and I were staying in Ocean City in August and decided that we were having such a good time we would extend our vacation. Unfortunately, the nice hotel we were staying in was not available. We called at least 8 other hotels and motels that we know are nice but everyone was sold out. So we went up... More
