5/5 Excellent

"Always a great stay at the Fenwick. Vista is a great dining experience. The complimentary beach chairs are a great choice. Staff is so family-friendly, very homey."

5/5 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. This is our third trip to Ocean City but our first stay at this hotel and on the boardwalk. I was nervous about the boardwalk but we had no issues. It’s not the crazy busy end. We were on the third floor and never had any issues with noise. The breakfast was delicious and the waiter even threw in free waffles for my son. The staff was friendly and helpful. We have no complaints, even my 7 year old was impressed. We look forward to returning. "

"Nice place, everyone was nice, service was quick. You did have to pay $15 a day for parking which I think is very unnecessary. But the hotel was located in a nice place. Room was clean. Nice view. Over priced for the stay but it was also 4th July week & busy. "
