What guests think

At Tru by Hilton Ocean City Bayside, reviewers highlight very clean, modern spaces, friendly staff, and a convenient location near the beach and restaurants, while noting compact, minimalist rooms with limited storage and occasional noise or HVAC issues.

Breakfast feedback is mixed: many enjoy the free buffet and coffee, but others report limited variety, cold items, or pancake machines not working. Facilities like the indoor pool with deck and lobby games are appreciated, though the pool can feel chilly or be cloudy, and EV chargers or maintenance occasionally disappoint. Expect a clean, convenient stay with simple rooms and a few trade‑offs.

It was a good stay, the staff was very nice. They do have three level #2 Electrical vehicle chargers in the front of the hotel near the door. One spot is in a handicapped parking space, the other two work, EV connect. Both nights someone had iced one of the two chargers spots. It is a ten dollar flat fee for charging.

Really wonderful place to stay for a family. The breakfast was delicious, the room had everything you need, and the pool area was such a relaxing place to hang out and had beautiful views of the bay, ocean, and strip.

The pool is very nice, heated and salt water. Located on the 4th floor, it has a nice view. The room was nice, no coffee, but has a fridge. Breakfast was good, they had a pancake machine, "eggs" lol, and other selections. Great location along the strip, walking distance to the beach.

Property was a great price for free parking and free breakfast. Pool was a little disappointing and there was no microwave in room so you had to go to the lobby to heat stuff up. Also they only had 2 sets of linens and there was 2 of us. Liked the lobby games and animals. Also loved all the seating in the front lobby. Room was a little small but good for the price.

We come down every year to Ocean City for the endless summer Cruisin car show in October and pick the same hotel. Tru by Hilton is our #1 choice due to being pet friendly and having the free continental breakfast every day. This year we were not disappointed. Everything was excellent. I even got to go up to the fourth floor and use the indoor pool which was very clean and well sized.

Upon checking in the room smelled Like marijuana. So much I had to go down stairs and tell the front desk. After a wait I had to be moved to a DIRTY room. Filthy shower, dirty bed sheets, hair all around sink faucet, spots on mirror and to top it off bed was uncomfortable and room temperature was TOO COLD. Horrible experience. Even front desk attendant was extremely rude, they were out of antibacterial Wilkes Down stairs and I asked for some and her rude response was "we out". I asked about the pool and she stated "fourth floor", when I was referring to a pool table. This was by far the dirtiest lobby as well.

Very disappointed! The shower was gross, had some kind of pink mold, had to go buy cleaner and clean it before we used it. We ran out of toilet paper and wash clothes, I requested some and still 24hrs later nothing, again had to go buy my own. Other then that it was fine

Our stay was nice. I will say issues we did have was the room should have been cleaner. The comforters on the two beds you could have have NOT been cleaned in a while. I picked up the two mattresses to check anything funny in bed and it was all dirty under each mattress and around the sides of the bed. There was chips, hair, candy all smashed. The desk in room all stained on the top too. Bathroom very nice but adjusents on shower can hurt someone. The hot water is tricky to control. I will add the staff is AWESOME...Onlly other thing was it would have been nice to know you can't smoke outside on pool outside terrace after 10pm at night and that was a drawback. Also the pool could have been much hotter since indoor.

Rooms were not clean. First night pulled blanket back in the bed and there was a blood stain/smear on the sheet up near the pillows. Floors were dirty and had sand everywhere. Front desk did move us to another room quickly. Also, ran out of towels and had to ask three times for towels in one day. Ended up physically going to front desk to get towels. Only good thing about this hotel was the location.

The room was super small- lacking even a closet- just a couple of hooks on the wall. There was no microwave and the only other piece of furniture( besides bed and built in tables) was an office chair. No comfortable place to sit, no extra pillows or blankets. The room was just a dissapointment for the price and location for a Hilton Hotel. The staff always formed a little huddle at the front desk eating from morning buffet or take out. There was no toilet paper in the downstairs bathrooms- I did inform front desk. Also not asked for car info and noticed non guest ( I asked) parking in prime spaces attracting the noise and attention of very loud auto show partcipants passing by until after 2:00 in the morning. This was definitely my first and last stay at a Hilton Tru.

Room was clean. Hotel close to entertainment. Boardwalk wasn’t very far either. Had a good time. Will deff be back if we come back to OC.

I would have given 5 stars but there was no storage to put your clothing . No closets no drawers they had 3 hangers on a rack and a few hooks so we lived out of the suitcase which I didn’t like but oh well. I also hated the pillows they were super soft and became flat bed was comfortable though . Everything else was great.

For all the wonderful things that other reviewers had said about the breakfast, we found it to be completely substandard and lacking anything that seem to be remotely fresh. It ended up being so bad that we decided to skip having breakfast at the hotel and go out to a restaurant one day. Also, our air conditioner in our bedroom Was so loud and rattled so much that we actually tried to remove the cover and see if that would help. All in all it was a fairly big waste of money and I am quite sure will not return to this hotel if we stay in Ocean City again.

The room was clean, but walls were THIN! Heard someone banging around all night. But…that’s nothing compared to my check in experience. The rude front desk person tried to charge me for my REGISTERED SERVICE DOG! I tried to explain to her that it was illegal to charge for that. As she continued to raise her voice at me (in front of other guests) she would not let me even speak after that! It was EMBARRASSING and I was livid! It was late and we had been driving for 15 hours or I would have just left! I will NEVER go to another Hilton hotel if that’s how they treat people with medical issues that need a service animal!

I have stayed this property several times, but this time was a disappointment as I felt very uncomfortable. First, my room was not. I spoke to the person at the front desk who apologized. I mentioned there was no toilet paper at which another person handed me a role. What surprise me most was the male employees we’re not friendly at all. One who I believe worked there did nothing but hang out around at the check-in desk eating and a front desk person, who has been working there for at least a few years was always talking on her phone while it was on speaker, which is very uncourteous when people were waiting to check in. I suggest more training is necessary.

From booking the room with Keira to check out the service was excellent. We arrived and check in was a breeze, the young ladies working on breakfast the next morning knew how to do a good job. Food was hot and everything was really clean and tidy. Someone had spilled something in one of the elevators and the lady was right there to clean it up. Room was tidy and clean and all employees was had contact with were very friendly. With it being pet friendly our 2 small pets went with us. We will be staying there when we come back to Ocean City MD.

I walked into the lobby with my fiancé and there 2 employees there one was on the phone with a customer and the other was on her cell phone completely ignoring us. We stood there for maybe 5 to 10 minutes while the women spoke to each other and never addressed us when we finally were addressed by one of them the woman asked for my id and that was it. She was rude and rolled her eyes when I put my card for the incidental hold. Our room was clean and the air conditioning great. The elevator broke on our floor so we ended up taking the stairs most of the time luckily we were on the second floor and didn’t have far to go. My fiancé hated the shampoo. House keeping did an amazing job for a beach hotel to have zero sand in the room is amazing.

Everything was great until Sunday morning my hubby went to get us breakfast at 9am. The fella was rude and said it's closed. Hubby said it's only 9am. Others chimed in as well as they were looking for breakfast too. He reopened the juice machine begrudgingly. We got cereal so I can't complain, but we were looking forward to a warm breakfast of which we were told the night before that yes there will be breakfast till 9:30. Other than this fella, everything was great
