I'm having a hard time with even trying to put into words how awful this place truly was. The location is beautiful. Our room was beyond filthy. Carpet was old, clumped together and felt like it had never been cleaned. It was actually sticky. The bathroom was dirty. The toilet seat was old and wooden so they just painted it. Mirror in the bathroom was worn and had black streaks were so bad you couldn't use it. Tub was filthy with leftover dirty footprints still in it. Plug was not there and drain was filled with lime scale and hair. Beds were hard and lumpy and sheets we're rough and badly pilled. We left after the second night. Also air conditioners were just put in the window not stabilized and gaping holes lead to the outside.

This was one of the worst places I’ve ever stayed. It’s a shame because the location is excellent and close to everything. Unfortunately, the property is very old, run-down, and not well maintained. The room was not clean, there was mold in the bathroom, flies inside the room, and rust throughout the property. Overall, it was very disappointing, and I would not recommend staying here at all.

You cannot beat the location! It's a simple, small, very affordable, old school motel. The beds were comfortable, the staff is great, the rooms were basically clean and the air conditioning worked.

My only issue is that none of the rooms have curtains. The rooms have privacy blinds but the property is so lit up with lights, EVERYONE in our group was basically awake at 3:00 a.m. Bring your own curtains or bring your own eye covers.

Love the place and will definitely go back... With a sleep mask. 👍

This is one of the oldest hotels left in Ocean City. It's an aging classy lady that we all know and love. The room was Bayside, small queen but it was meticulous and adequate. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. But we came for the stunning views and the small private beach where you can relax or even fish or just sit for hours and watch the boats pass through the inlet. I'm sure during the summer it's full of families, however in October it was quiet and pleasant. All in all I was pleasantly surprised at a hotel I've passed by for 50 years and we're definitely stay again

The first room they gave us didn’t even have a microwave. The hot water wasn’t working and the shower was clogged. It smelled way too small.

So they negotiated with us and gave us a bigger room for the same $130.00 that room smelled way better and actually had a microwave.

I cleaned it, and it was cleaner than when I walked in

Had a nice view of the water though separated by a parking lot. Nice little beach area. I rated this as excellent because even though it older and there were a few flaws (tear in the carpet) it was clean and the staff were excellent. Very nice people who are eager to make your stay great. Excellent location. Went for a weekend concert and the walk was very close. This is the 3rd time I’ve been to Ocean City for this concert and this was by far the cleanest place I’ve stayed. We just really need a place to sleep as we are out enjoying what Ocean City has to offer and Oceanic did not disappoint. Small, but what we needed. Would stay here again.

Upon arrival I was not provided with a room comparable to the Expedia listing and instead put into an interior courtyard(ish) room with a group of shady, homeless looking people sitting around. I opened the door, looked into the room and immediately left. It was tiny, dirty looking, bathroom no bigger than my pantry closet. I am still fighting to get a full refund and DO NOT recommend this place to anyone.

Pros: We loved the views from the property! You can see the sunset over the bay and it’s a five minute walk from the sunrise. You can see Assateague Island across the inlet and we saw horses over there one day. The walkability was amazing, it’s 5 minutes from the beach and you don’t have to cross any streets, you can follow the walking path along the inlet. Shopping and the boardwalk are only blocks away. And, the fishing opportunities were fantastic, you can fish right off the property as they are right on the inlet and they include a free pass to the bay fishing pier, which directly behind the motel, for every day you are there.

Cons: It’s an older building and the rooms are small, but they are okay. It seemed pretty clean, we looked it over pretty good when we arrived. We were there two nights with no problems, but we did see a bed bug in the room the day we left.

Unfortunately I did not get to stay the night at the Oceanic. After I was told I could not inquire about the pool over the phone without my mother (I am 26 years old), I still went ahead booked a room with a patio for a deal. Upon my arrival I was put in a standard hotel room, no patio, that smelled like cigarettes.

After going back to speak with staff, I was told that they double-booked the room and had no patio room to give me. They asked me to stay in a standard room for the inflated price.

I spoke to the manager as the two men working the counter laughed at me. The manager issued a refund for a non-refundable room because of what I went through. She was kind, but it does not fix an attempted scam.

You DO meet your neighbors. Everyone was very friendly; neighbors and staff. The office people were quite accommodating . It’s a low key, authentic kind of place.

The room and bath were spotless, the kids splashed away in the pool, and we even scored a grill to fire up a seaside feast. But the real showstopper?
