I stayed at the Howard Johnson with my family this past weekend (9/30-10/2) and had a great time! The front desk staff was very knowledgable about things to do on a rainy day. Very friendly staff! The bathrooms were updated, and there was plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 children in the room. I'm ready to book my... More

We arrived a day early for our vacation and needed to find a room for the night. This place offered us what they called "an ocean front suite"! The price was more than waht we wanted to spend ($400.00 for one night), but we thougth we would live it up a little with a nice room. Wow, were we in... More

We just got back from a 3-day weekend at this 24th-street HoJo's and although the bathrooms ARE very small - you can't open/close the door if you sit on the toilet - and the sink is literally only about 10 inches across - we stayed in an ocean front room on the boardwalk for two nights and three days for...

I have never seen a more disgusting hotel. The first room we > were placed in not only smelled of urine, but the air-conditioning did > not work. We were moved to another room that one did not smell so bad, > but the surrounding hallway was horrible. The bathrooms were small and > claustrophobic, and there were fruit flies... More

Guests Beware! Hotel is rundown and filthy. Rooms are moldy. Fire Alarm system malfunctioned 4 times within 24 hour period. Screeching ear piercing alarm (requiring fire department and police to deactivate) went off 8 am, 2 pm, 12:45 am and 1:30 am. Rooms had to be evacuated each time and parents stood in front of the hotel with crying babies... More

Very poor parking. Spent a 1/2 hour trying to find a parking space. Once you find your space don't move your vehicle. We I complained at the front desk I was told "you can park at our other 1 block down the street." The hotel has only one VERY slow elevator. We sure got our exercise using the steps. The... More

We've stayed at this motel since the mid-80s when it was still known as the Satellite Motel. Back then, it was family-owned and the service and maintenance was always rock-solid. It's probably been 12-15 years since it changed to a Howard Johnson's, and in that time, it has steadily declined in its level of maintenance, appearance and cleanliness. I've read... More

This hotel was a great combination of value and location. Obviously, this facility is not 4 star, but we understood this when we booked the room. The hotel is located right on the boardwalk and the beach. We had an ocean front room that had a great view and was reasonably priced compared to others in the area. The room... More

Ocean City was the last stop of a long road trip. Desperate to find a place for one night, I booked at this location (not to be confused with the one located more downtown). I had very low expectations going in. That being said, it's good enough for one night. Do not go here expecting anything and it suffices. The... More
