Top Ocean City Hotel Reviews

Comfort Suites Ocean City West

Comfort Suites Ocean City West

8/10 Good
"The front desk staff was extremely helpful and courteous. The hotel, including the rooms were very clean. My only complaint being that when I returned from swimming in the pool one afternoon, that my room door was propped open by the housekeeping staff, with none of them in sight. I stood by for several minutes to see if anyone would return or was keeping an eye on the room, but nobody did. This was a little disconcerting as I had left valuable camera equipment along with my wallet, in the room while swimming. Nothing was missing but these actions left the room unsecure and anyone in the hotel could have easily gained access to it!"
