Let me preface my review by saying that my husband and I have been staying at the Port-O-Call for many, many years...not just in the summer but sometimes in March or April as well. We really enjoy the hotel and the location can't be beat. That being said, I do have some concerns. We have been staying in the same... More

The Port O Call is the best you're going to find in O.C.. It's not the Four Seasons but it is a friendly family hotel. Prices are certainly on the high side but if people didn't mind paying, the vacancies would cause the price to come down, which obviously isn't happening. Prices at the shore are high. Just check the... More

This hotel could really use a makeover. Room decor hasn't changed in 20 years. Although on the boardwalk no privacy as the pool is right there where everyone walking past can look and see. There are no luxury hotels in this community. I understand that it is a family shore town. But please a little luxury it is a vacation... More

I would like to thank the reviewer for his/her comments and for staying with us while vacationing in Ocean City. However, I do feel that the reviewer’s comments are misleading and a bit confusing. First, our beautiful hotel is a great source of pride for our Owners as well as the management and staff, which is determined to ensure our... More

Stayed in a standard Ocean View room-view was great but room was very small (especially bathroom area) but fairly comfortable. Hallways were warm and incredibly stuffy during our stay. VERY disappointing last morning. Went to breakfast with my daughter (who is expecting her first child) and was turned away quite rudely at 7:27am (dining room opens at 7:30am). door should... More

Very friendly staff, clean and comfortable atmosphere. Right at the end of the boardwalk so no driving needed but not loud either! Pool is very nice and big and secluded. We had a great time! More

I have been coming to Port-O-Call since my daughter was 19: I now come with my daughter and my two grandchildren! Since the addition of the grand-kids we always stay in the front corner King room; we have also stayed in all of the other oceanfront offerings; all are excellent. Proximity to the beach, boardwalk and main areas of town... More

We visited Ocean City last Saturday and Sunday nights. This was our first time staying at the Port-O-Call Hotel. Thelma was there to greet us at the entrance of the hotel and was helpful in getting my mother up the stairs to the lobby. I was told the standard room that I reserved (the night prior) was small but beachfront... More

This was our second stay in two years and once again I am very happy with our decision to return. The hotel continued to be clean and well maintained. The staff again upon arrival and departure were kind, warm and helpful. Our bell boy made two trips to my room because of all the luggage and promptly tried to leave... More
