I should start by saying the staff were great! This was just a one night stopover for us, but I was really disappointed in the room. We booked a double queen room but ended up in a room with beds so small we didn't even sleep together. The decor is seriously outdated, the towels had holes in them, the water... More

Typical older hotel/motel for Ocean City, MD...First, the staff provided good service and were very pleasant. At check-in, Charlotte was very welcoming and accommodating. We were given room 526; the room was in the south building facing the bay. We noticed almost immediately that it had worn carpeting, bed blankets appeared to be tattered and dingy. Bed linens also appeared... More

The location was very good. The room was very clean. The room was nice but it is from the 1980's . It needs upgrades to bring it to the 21 century. The building we were put in was a 5 minute walk to the lobby. The lobby was a frequently visited place. We were next to the elevator the first... More

We stayed at the Princess Bayside on 5/3 and 5/4 2013. There is nothing to complain about. The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcomed. Our room was perfect. The restaurant had great food. Plus it's easy access to Seacrets. We are coming back in June and we'll definitely be staying at Princess Bayside again.

Stayed here in July and just realized I never left a review! I actually am planning another trip to OC in July so I plan on staying here again. Ocean City has a bit of a dated feel and look so I think this hotel should not be penalized for that. I stayed in a king room with a jacuzzi... More

Honestly besides the bed there was nothing good about this hotel. Every single person I dealt with in my 12 hours of being there was extremely rude and inconsiderate. They're "hall way cops" are on a power trip. If you want to have any kind of fun i recommend not staying here.
