Howard Johnson Plaza by Wyndham Ocean City Oceanfront

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 14 Aug 2010 rated 4 out of 10.

Our room was a shoebox. Our deck was 6 inches above a huge kitchen exhaust fan that was very loud and smelly. Our room was also 6 inches from the elevator. I think this room was originally part of a suite. The pool was nasty. There were only 2 elevators which were slow at best. The parking was a nightmare. We were on the 3rd parking level with no elevator and an 18 month old. The clientèle was very low class. It also lacked room service. I think the only staff was the girl at the front desk who could have cared in the least. This hotel was very overpriced and should only be rated 1 star.

Positives: Room was new and clean.

Negatives: Room was too small.

Overall good experience, could tell it had been remodeled.

Positives: The location.

Negatives: Bathroom was very small.

Great location right on the boardwalk and beach. Wonderful patio where you could sit and relax. Common areas were comfortable and inviting. Restaurant was good and had a great view of the ocean. Bedroom was a bit of a disappointment due to the softness of the bed mattress and the strange arrangement in the bathroom where the shower stall was not separated from the rest of the bathroom floor by a low wall or ledge. Overall, however, it was a very pleasant stay.

Positives: Location was great and patio was wonderful for relaxing.

Negatives: Beds were uncomfortable-too soft and shower was not separated from rest of floor.

My girlfriend and I were surprised about how nice and romantic the turned out to be for V-Day. We were not expecting a room as nice. It had everything we needed, and had a beautiful ocean view out on the balcony.

Positives: It was comfy and cozy, romantic.

Negatives: It would of been nice to have an elevator in the parking garage.

I stayed at this hotel for two nights and had to switch rooms three times. Check in was simple, but when I got into my first room, the bathroom ceiling was leaking water. I was going to ignore this problem until it started leaking more and more. So after talking to the management three times, they switched my room.. I hate to say it but I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Their restaurant is great, but that’s about it.

Overall it was what I expected for a family vacation.

Positives: I liked the peacefulness of the hotel. I also like the view of the ocean from the restaurant.

Negatives: I did not like the tiny bathroom. I have young children and it was very hard to fit more than one person in the room.

Beside the room door seams on several doors seem too have a huge gap in the frames. Also the renovations to the bathrooms literally have swallowed the space of the bathroom up. Bathrooms too small. Mattresses are way too soft; I asked for a replacement, I was told that all the beds are like that. Not good. A board was cut for my side of the bed. Other than noted discrepancies I found that my wife and I really enjoyed the peace and quiet, the Ocean view and the staff was excellent.

Positives: I absolute enjoyed everything.

Negatives: The renovations are not fully complete; for example, the room sprinkler systems holes in the wall from pictures being moved.

Quite comfortable and clean hotel in the off-season, with a beautiful beach. Everything we hoped for during our stay, and at a very reasonable price.

Positives: Good location right on the beach and boardwalk. Room was clean, comfortable, and quiet.

Negatives: There was a bad smell in an elevator. The elevators are open to anyone passing by the hotel.

Overall enjoyed the stay - they need to do something about delivery trucks blocking their garage. Loved the location on the boardwalk. Would stay again.

Positives: Location was great on the boardwalk.

Negatives: Two different occasions was blocked by delivery truck while trying to park in the garage. Very annoying.

It was under construction, not in great repair, a little old, but it was inexpensive, and it is in a great location. They remodeling it look like, so improvements are on the way. I guess for a beach hotel it is what's to be expected.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Not in go repair.

Hotel charges a safe fee which I did not notice until checking out. I asked the clerk if this charge could be removed. The clerk¿s response was "no, you have already checked out". We never used the safe. If hotels make a fee mandatory it should be in the daily rate. Why not make services an "opt in" rather then an "opt out" approach. Lately, I feel like the hotels have a stick it to the customer attitude.

Positives: Nice location.

Negatives: Extra fees.

Ok for what I needed it for.

The rooms themselves appeared to be relatively clean, although they smelled like mildew due to flooding from heavy rain. Also, our bathtub was clogged and we were unable to take a shower for half the day because it took that long for the maintenance man to come fix it. The indoor and outdoor pool areas are extremely small and were not too clean. This hotel is definitely not fancy in any respect, and it was sort of outdated. However, if you plan to spend much of your time out of the room, this hotel may suffice.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: It smelled like mildew because our 5th floor room had flooded from heavy rain. The whole hotel was stuffy.
