We really enjoyed the on-site diner, and the place was very clean. The staff was friendly and very responsive. The room was a little dated, but the oceanfront balcony was fantastic. The AC was cold put not positioned in the room the best.
Great Ocean view

Great old school Ocean City hotel BUT it could use a good scrubbing. Our room was fine but it looked like the window and the phone had not been cleaned in some time. It’s nice to have these older hotels around but please give them the care they need.

I really enjoyed staying here. My room was clean and it was pretty quiet considering there was a festival. The location is very convenient, very walkable. I would happily stay here again.

Our carpet was very dirty. I dropped crumbs and when I used a wash cloth to pick them up the cloth was black. Carpets need cleaned bad. I had booked through Expedia an Oceanfront room. I called the Sahara to never have anyone pick up the phone. I was told you have to go through a reservation center which I called and requested a first floor room away from the road. Upon check in I was given a third floor ocean view room. When I said we requested first floor I was told I would be upgraded to oceanfront free of charge. I showed her my reservation sheet showing I had booked oceanfront. Some of the better things were: Our air conditioner wouldn't work and they did come and replace it. There were no maids sitting on the steps that you had to try to climb around which was true in past years. I noticed the trash cans on the floors at the steps were always emptied which wasn't happening in past years. The rooms were cleaned better than previous years.

Outdated and uncomfortable.
Stayed here because family members were staying here. I would never stay here again. Beds were lumpy and hard. Bathroom had a wall sink and no shelves. All fixtures were cheap and old. No place to set down small items. No hook on back of door. Carpet looked really old. Dark green color was popular in early 90s. Furniture looked like 1982. To their credit, the bathroom was as clean as it could be given its outdated appearance. The place just looks sad and i couldn't wait to leave. I am used to staying in modern hotels with ammenties so this place was uncomfortable in many ways. Diner associated with it used the be very good, but not good now. Eggs tasted like powdered eggs. It was really awful and really expensive.

Cape was very nice and helpful at check in. Very old place, it needs many up grades. No central air. Had a wall unit like a window unit it was so loud i could not sleep. We were only there two days and did not stay the second day since we didn't get any sleep. So disappointing because we had an awesome ocean front view.

This hotel is not family friendly. Our neighbors were always on the balcony smoking weed. We had two granddaughters with us. We paid good money for a balcony they couldnt sit on. And the next morning, they blared the music at 7am. We called the office on the weed and was told they cant do anything because its legal there. What happened to the no smoking policies.and we found someones dirty sock in the bed that didnt belong to any of us. The location was about the only good thing.
