Hotels in Ocean City, NJ

“Go for the updated Victorian ambiance with delicious full breakfasts .Go for the extremely friendly and helpful staff. Go for the central and convenient location to all things OC. BUT MOSTLY, go for Sne, the personable, dapper and gracious innkeeper with a wickedly enjoyable sense of humor! Sne knows his guests by name. Try that with hotel chain employees. TV on the fritz? BOOM…fixed. Key card problems? BOOM…fixed. Relax on the wrap around porch, grab a cookie and rock to soothing music. A PERFECT 10 EXPERIENCE that cannot be missed!”

“We look forward to our annual October week here. Located on the beach this place is wonderful. I suggest always get the oceanside suite with a balcony. You will love the view. Rooms are retro nice, clean and quiet. Great place to watch the sun rise over the pier. Restaurant is definitely a high point. Breakfast and lunch are served. Great choices and never a bad meal. The staff throughout the property, are wonderful, professional and accommodating. We love it here.”

“My 2 day stay was amazing! Nancy runs an amazing, well-kept hotel that is perfect for vacations! The location is great; it is very close to the beach and boardwalk, yet far enough to enjoy quiet neighborhood. We stayed in the Treehouse Room and it was quite comfortable.

Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Ocean City! You won't regret it!”

“Our First Stay at Harris House
This was our very first time at Harris House (Sept. 30 thru Oct. 3, 2025).
Our room was extremely clean. Even the ceiling fan/vent in the bathroom (which is often overlooked) was very clean as well. Each staff member was friendly, helpful and courteous, both on the phone and in person. The entire facility was very well kept even into the off-season. The pool was open and several guests sat at the umbrella tables reading and snacking. There was ample parking with one-way in and out. HH is in a great location with less than a half block walk to the boardwalk/beach. My sister and I stayed in a queen double which had lots of storage. Bedding was very comfortable and the room was beautifully decorated. The inclusion of a round table with two chairs was a nice convenience. The property was well-lit in the evening hours. If we could make one recommendation it would be that the traditional bathtub would be fitted with safety grab bars or better yet, a walk-in shower. All in all, we were very pleased with Harris House and we hope to return next season, Lord willing.”

“We hosted a 10-year remission celebration with The Flander's Hotel and it was BEYOND my expectations. The staff is incredible and communicative from start to finish. They answered my many emails and questions promptly and thoroughly. My experience was much easier planning alongside Molly and Lisa from the banquet department. Additionally, the day-of staff: Joanne, Wilbert, and John were exceptional. They kept the space clean, the food fresh and replenished, made good cocktails, and made sure everything was on time and running smoothly. The food was also delicious and there was so much variety in choice.

We were in the Garden Room which was plenty of space for food, tables and dancing for the 60ish guests that attended. They set us up with so many recommendations, centerpieces, and above-and-beyond services. Some examples was packing up boxes with our things and taking them to our hotel room, free access to a mic and bluetooth connection for music, and finally helping us distract our guest-of-honor so that we could run into the room before them and yell surprise. This was an emotional event, and the staff went above and beyond to help us make this milestone feel as important to them as it was to us.

If you are looking to host an event, genuinely reach out to the Flanders ASAP, because this was truly a remarkable experience from start to finish.”

“Our family has been coming to OCNJ for many years to enjoy a week at the Jersey Shore. This was our first stay at Zenneth Manor Inn and it was certainly a vacation we will remember. Lots of great things to praise about the guest experience they have created. Great location close to everything in OCNJ. The Zenneth provides such a charming affordable family environment that gave us lots of opportunity to enjoy conversation, game playing, and fun in the sun! It also helps that Jeff and Hillary are super people to get to know.”

“Great location near the boardwalk, but located right next to the roller coaster so there is some noise.

Rooms were a bit pricey, but it was like having your own apartment. Room for 4 and a place to park was convenient.”

“Fantastic location just off the boardwalk near the heart of the action. Room was comfortable and clean. Checkout procedure was somewhat confusing. They have parking below the hotel. Pool is located across the street at the sister property.”

“Location, location, location. What a great spot! Located right in the heart of the boardwalk. Walkable to dozens of restaurants. The staff is super friendly, rooms are very clean, and there's always something to do. You can't get bored here! It is pricey, however, such is the case with the location. Definitely worth paying what we paid for this hotel. It has a lot of history and they certainly make use of the space provided for as old as the building is. We booked last minute and took a shot. It didn't disappoint. I loved the parking situation. We were able to park in the lot that borders the hotel. From here, we could quickly grab our sand toys for the kids, chairs for us, and odds and ends and head up to the beach. I noticed a sign about future luxury condos going there?????? I'm not sure how that would have an affect on parking or where we would park. I'll be curious in finding out. I love how it is now. I'll be disappointed if that convenience of parking changes. The only other negative, is a lack of balconies. Only a few rooms have them. It would be nice while at the beach. Over all, excellent experience!”

“The room was so clean. I was really impressed. The staff was super friendly.
The boardwalk is walking distance, just a few minutes. The shades are electric. A previous guest probably didn't read the sign because you could tell someone tried to pull it down with their hands Because one was moving slower than the rest?‍♀️
overall, This is a great stay and I'd come back.”

“Versatile room layout with bath assessible from bedroom and living room. Great to have balcony. Efficiency kitchen has limited use and utensils. Good storage space. Quiet area as we were there prior to busy season. Easy access to boardwalk. Good A/C. Two lamps not working right. Easy TV remote. First return visit to OC in 50 years!”

“Small, historic rooms! Definitely dated. Great location and with an acai place right outside the door. Parking is limited and will cost $20 per day, or i think they offer 3-day weekend package aswell.”

“We initially were planning to stay at the hotel (impala island) across the street which did not appear to meet my expectations upon pulling into the parking lot. I checked in- got my mom and two kids out of the car and headed to our assigned room. To my surprise, the room was so messy and not clean. I asked house keeping who said something along the lines of she was not here in a few days? I went back to the office - was given another room went to open and a staff member came out stating someone else was in this room. Now I am dragging my kids around trying to figure out what to do next, as they did or have anymore rooms. They ended up upgrading us across the street to the suites. This was beautiful and so much better than prior place. The only complaint was the rooms weren’t cleaned daily; we only stayed two nights so it was never actually cleaned. Also looked like they forgot to finish some updates. Overall we were happy to be accommodated! Thanks again!”

“Excellent location for going to the beach and close to many food places.Shower had good water pressure and the hotel provided shampoo/conditioner was nice.Tv is of a decent size and put in a logical spot and worked right! (One of my biggest pet peeves typically)Only negative was they did not provide breakfast or vending of any form.All in all, I'd come here again.Walkability: Close to many restaurants. Short walk to the beach/boardwalk.”

“We stayed for one night. It is a fabulous location for being in the center of the action. Unfortunately, this makes it a bit noisy as well. The old loud air conditioner didn't help either!The toom was very small, but that is what is expected in older hotels in OC. It has been nicely renovated, though . The waterfall shower head was much appreciated!”

“I normally get this place when I stay at Ocean city because of location and decent price but new people run it and no more beach tags and had to move car after check out when the last couple of times they gave you beach tags and you could keep your car there even after check out because you are a customer that spent a decent amount on a room so unfortunately I will not pick this spot based on some of the downfalls.”
