The main plus is the excellent view of the ocean from this 8th floor oceanfront room. The room was fairly large, and came equipped with microwave and minifridge. On the downside, we had no hot water for two days, the staff showed no urgency in that regard, and they offered us no compensation for this large inconvenience. Moreover, they added a $50 surcharge for parking, even though there was no mention of that when we made the reservation. An when we tried to check in 3 hours early, they wanted $50 for that as well, but we declined. Maid service came only once during our 3 night stay.

Location is everything with this hotel! Perfect ocean front room right on the boards with views for miles! The hotel itself is in desperate need of repairs and updating. One elevator did not work, the beds fly up off the floor when you sit on the edge and they are not super comfy, the room furniture is beyond old, the bathroom door hooks were missing from the back leaving you nowhere to hang a towel, the couch is really old…BUT you stay here for the location and the pet friendly rooms. If you can see past the rest, enjoy the views and keep it moving!

The room was somewhat clean. Two lights were broken. They had an electrical switch plate in the mirror with no cover. The water when taking a shower didn't empty properly and you were standing in dirty water. We had to take the coffee maker into where our beds were and plug in in there because there was no outlet in the kitchen area. We told them what was happening nothing was done about it. For what me and my friend spent this should have never happened. I will not stay there again.

The property’s location is convenient, with easy access to the boardwalk. The bedroom was noticeably cleaner than it had been four or five years ago, and the area around the rooms was generally quiet aside from the hum of the air conditioning unit. However, the AC ventilation was covered in dust, and the shower curtain and bathroom ceiling appeared to have gone untouched for years. Housekeeping didn’t service the room during our stay, and no bathroom essentials were replenished after check-in. Some staff interactions were disappointing — notably, two different employees knocked within five minutes between 11:05 and 11:10 a.m. to remind us to check out. After checking out at 11:15 a.m., I was informed I had only 30 minutes to move my car from the parking lot.The couching is dirty and has never been checked.

Housekeeping, doesnt come clean your room they come in throw some bags on the sink pull up the covers on your bed and some towels they throw on the bathroom sink then they leave. They came once never came again. They never cleaned my daughter and her friends room we had adjoining rooms Told the front desk about it. They said they would tell management and have the manager talk to me and she never did. I will say room was clean when I got there, but after that, nobody came and nobody cleaned it. I also had to go to the front desk and asked for toilet paper because housekeeping did not come in and refresh anything. I also had to ask for towels one day because they only came on one day and did what I wrote above almost $1300 for four nights and they couldn’t even clean the room if you have to stay there because you don’t wanna leave your pet home you’ll be fine but your room won’t be cleaned and you will have to go to the front desk and ask for what you need. I have never had this issue at any hotel on the boardwalk that I have stayed in. The housekeepers were right up to par with everything. I only chose this hotel this time because I did not have somebody to watch my Chihuahua this time.

This was one of the better stays at Ocean City. The hotel was convenient to areas that interested me. Additionally, the room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. There are so many hotels in Ocean City that do not seem to reflect any pride whatsoever. This hotel was an exception. This will now be my hotel of choice whenever I visit Ocean City. I can't say enough good things about it: from the cleanliness, to the friendly employees, to the ease of parking, etc.

Place is a dirty nightmare, we were placed into 3 different rooms until we found a room that everything actually worked in. It was a 3hour process just to get our room. The place as a whole is very dirty. I talked to probably 10 other people who were also staying. 9/10 said they would never stay at the Paradise Plaza ever again. Although it is cheap, I’d spend the extra $100-200 next time to get a place you feel comfortable sleeping and showering in.

Rooms

Rooms are large with balconies and strong ocean views, but the property is dated. Recurring issues include faulty or hard-to-close sliding doors and locks, awkward jetted-tub showers, weak water pressure or hot-water outages, noisy AC, and mixed bed comfort; some noise carries from nearby venues.

We really liked the location. Right on the boardwalk is a major plus and the ocean front view was amazing. We stayed on the 7th floor and when you entered the room it had a musky odor to it at the entrance.The shower water was only lukewarm. The sink stopper didn't work. I will say that the staff was very courteous and friendly. Great people who work there.

Location is great and the room was spacious. Rooms and hotel need updating. Door to room was difficult to open, it took a few tries before we could get it open. The jacuzzi tub/ shower combo was odd. Not ideal for taking a shower. The water just ran down the ledge and onto the floor. Water pressure was low and hot water ran out during the weekend when it was busy. Beds were hard and not very comfortable. The cleaning staff did a great job each day cleaning the rooms and they smelled clean. Elevators worked on and off during our stay. There were times we had to take the steps and the stairwell smelled like urine. The main parking lot was always full, people were just waiting to get a space closer to the hotel. There is a small overflow parking lot across the street, but not ideal when unloading or loading. Staff was friendly.

We loved the location right on the boardwalk. Room was clean and plenty of space. The beds were not the most comfortable; a bit firm for our taste. The biggest issue that we had was with the shower. The shower was part of a hot tub setup and was very awkward to take a shower due to the placement of the showerhead. The design of the hot tub made it impossible to stand directly underneath the showerhead and the water pressure was not strong enough to angle it further out. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay.

We stayed for St. Patrick's day weekend and the room was clean but showed signs wear. For example- balcony door lock was busted and did not lock. TV was standing on the table yet the mount was installed on the wall. Sometimes there was no hot water. The door to our room was difficult to open maintenance guy came by and showed us how to open but was a mess. Why should I fight with door lock to get into my room?! We could not get connected to guest Wifi, it was not happening even after front desk lady tried to help us. Not helpful when you have a kid that likes to watch videos. Room was otherwise spacious and great oceanfront view. We brought our dog along and that was nice. Unless all the issues fixed, would NOT stay again.

I have stayed at the Paradise Plaza several times because of its location and pet friendly policy. Some paint and updates would be great and make the hotel more modern. The water pressure in the shower was not enough to wash the shampoo out of my hair. The bathroom door didn't latch. There is a door to the outside that is never locked. The outlets were behind the headboard and inaccessible for charging electronics. The staff were friendly and made us feel comfortable. We made sure not to order from the restaurant there which was awful the last time.

The location was convenient! The staff was AMAZING. I did not encounter a single staff member who was not pleasant. The building may need some work, but for the price paid I would not be expecting The Ritz. Our room was a great size. There were 3 of us and we did not feel as we were on top of each other. It was quiet, I did not hear my neighbors on either side. Our city view balcony had a view of the ocean, though there was no privacy. The parking lot was full but there is an over flow parking lot a block down on the left.

No hot water. One of the elevators wasn’t working which led to 10-15 minute wait times for the one working elevator. Room was outdated and had bugs. When talking with hotel staff about a refund, the woman at the front desk was extremely rude and refused to answer basic questions and raised her voice at me in the crowded lobby. Terrible experience, do not recommend at all.

Overall we had a great stay here. The rooms were nice. The view was great. It was right on the boardwalk so that was super convenient. There aren’t many pet friendly spots right on the boardwalk, so this was great. We did lose power one night in our room but they tried to fix it quickly. All the staff were super friendly except one younger woman at the front desk occasionally who literally never said a word to us or even looked at us for that matter. That was a little strange. But overall, a fine stay.

The place was fine but not worth the money. Hotel didn’t have breakfast, but you can easily bring ur own to make. We also had a dog, which was fine—no noise. Overall, it was alright but wouldn’t come again (considering the beach area).

It was a fairly good experience. There’s no food on the premise. There’s a great deal of tired aspects of the property – the lobby, the handicap ramp. The desk clerks were not warm and friendly. They never smiled, nor I felt like I was important. “Just there for the present moment“ was a feeling I got when I arrived, during any other encounter and when I left. The bar that was semi connected to the hotel wasn’t that great. Our Friday night stay included a big party there and loud noises. Many others were requesting their room to be moved in the middle of the night.
