Top Ocean City Hotel Reviews

Fenwick Inn

Fenwick Inn

8/10 Good
"The hotel is reasonable walking distance from the beach and there is an indoor pool should the weather outside not be amenable to being at the beach. Rooms were clean. My only complaint was the breakfast arrangement. It's too cramped on the first floor, too many people, and insufficient options available of foods. Before the management change, there used to be breakfast option at the rooftop restaurant, which was much nicer. They ought to consider going back to that option for a happier hotel morning experience."

"We stayed in a room with an ocean view. It was lovely to see the sunrise and sunset. The room was spacious with a large kitchenette area. The location is a good one as it’s easily accessible to Fenwyck Island, Bethany Beach and Ocean City. The only issue was the Internet was not working consistently and was slow."
