Convenient to many good eats. Ample amount of clean towels and bedding and parking. Free wifi. (though very slow) Stove, full fridge, microwave, sink, dining room table and coffee maker. Comfy pull out sofa with new plastic still on the sofa mattress. Air conditioning and most rooms have a front and back door. Family place as I was there for 5 nights and did not see any rowdy teenagers or drunken brawls in the place. Bathrooms are clean and spacious and you will get an ample amount of hot water any time day or night.

I was supposed to travel to Ocean City for a three day music festival. The festival was cancelled…read morelast minute due to an extreme storm hitting the area. When I contacted the hotel to cancel my reservation I received some of the worst customer service I have ever experienced. Linda, the front desk manager, was rude and insulting, ranted about the third party company through which I had made my booking, and patronized me for not getting travel insurance. In short she refused to waive any cancellation fees because of it being last minute (like I had any choice in the timing of a storm), and far from helpful. I would never stay here based solely on the negativity of this experience!

She also called her to check in on her while she was driving. It was storming really bad. I don't know of any motel staff to have ever done this. It really meant a lot. The parking is free and easy. The motel is a short walk to the beach and only a hop on the beach bus to get to the boardwalk. This would be a better option to walking because it is almost three miles to the boardwalk. The bus is $4 cash (exact change only) and you can ride all day. There are several places to eat within walking distance. If you are on a budget, not looking for lavish amenities and want a clean place to lay your head, you will be fine here.

THIS IS MY REVIEW AS MY Experience! EVERYONE'S EXPERIENCE…read moreWILL BE DIFFERENT! This motel is a great place to stay if you have a pet or not. We stood here because we do have a fur baby. First thing, customer service over the phone was extremely good, I called a few times with a few questions and they answer them respectfully and with no rush. Upon arrival, checking was smooth and welcoming. The complex has a luggage cart, which that was a great help for us because we had A LOT of stuff, there is also an elevator. The complex is extremely clean and doesn't smell like dogs are around. The staff are welcoming and helpful. There's a guy named Steve, he is so nice. One of the days we were there it rain in the AM and my boys wanted to go in the pool after. He came and made sure the pool was clean. The next day he was cleaning it early making sure it was ready for the guests. The rooms are clean and smell clean. The pictures of the room speak for itself. We had a room with a kitchenette and it brings lots of items. The beach is 1 block walking distance. Just get ready in your room and walk up. Locals are so welcoming. They have a few shopping places around also within walking distance. The boardwalk is not close by. We are set that is our place of choice from now on.

If you want to do your own thing and be close to the water with a view, go to sealoft! If you want a party vibe with a pool bar, aloft is your spot. I think sealoft was a bit expensive for what it is, but I'm willing to pay for the ocean view and convenience to beach...but there were lots of little things - like the door/lock was broken on the private room (we got the king suite), the tvs didn't work, and the internet was spotty - which couldn't get fixed during our stay, but we had personal service setting up a pack n play, so that was nice, and the view made up for all of it! It is a SUPER cute spot - like southern ca 70s surfer vibes...and I'd definitely go back!

Pillows and bed was, rough, almost like the bed hasn't been changed out in many years. Trash can holder was broken. No breakfast? For 500$ I hate complaining, move to the pros Pros: loved the staff, clean pool, balcony view was nostalgic. Location, being on the boardwalk, perfect. Pool was clean and a good temp. Private on the he second flow. Great location, right on the boardwalk. I changed my review from 3 to four starts only because I recognize the age of this building contributes to the long term problems. Safe travels my friend

Surface level clean, but I still searched for bed bugs and wouldn't be caught walking around barefoot. Was it updated? No, could use some improvements. Our room felt very dated. Will I stay here again? Probably not. It did the trick for my one night stay. It just wasn't to my standard. But it is a 3-star hotel.

They went out of their way to make sure we were completely comfortable and had everything we needed throughout our stay.

Clean and spacious rooms, bathroom is pretty clean with built in Bluetooth speaker installed the mirror. Loved the balcony and the view of the bay from the 8th floor. We didn't have any meals at the restaurant. Boardwalk was about 5 to 10 minute walk. Th me only negative thing- the restaurant Spain was also on the eighth floor where we stayed and the traffic was ridiculous. We had to wait 15-20 minutes in the elevator to get to our room.

This was my second stay at the King Charles hotel, and it is my first choice of where to stay in OC. -extremely clean. Consistently cleaner than other hotels I have stayed in. Zero complaints there -yes, it is old fashioned. If you want fancy electronic locks - 1. Check your priorities and 2. Don't knock the place for having a normal key! Sorry if your house has a fingerprint scanner, but the rest of us are fine with keys. -it always smells nice! -amazing location just 2 blocks from the beach, and from a lively section of the boardwalk -owner is really friendly and bakes brownies sometimes yum! -free coffee in the morning -tv with cable -never had any noise issues -free parking with permit Overall, what's important to me is : a comfortable, CLEAN, friendly hotel in a good location. King Charles hits all of those marks and we will definitely be back!

My boyfriend and I recently stayed here for 2 days and loved every second of it! Their check-in…read moretime was between 3:00 - 10:00 PM, but I knew we would arrive at 10:30, so I called them. The lovely owner, Marie, accommodated us and stated not to worry about getting there before 10 PM. Marie said don't rush and risk getting into an accident to arrive on time which I appreciated. We made our reservation directly from their website and paid a deposit of half the stay. We received a call to confirm all the details a few minutes later. We arrived around 10:30 PM, and Marie, the owner, was already there waiting for us! She explained a few policies and amenities and quickly checked us into our room. The overnight security guard introduced himself to us and told us to let him know if we needed anything. The overall vibes were just comforting and cozy. This place is geared towards being more quiet, so if you're planning on blasting music and being loud, there may be a better place for you! The hotel has an older feel, but that didn't bother my boyfriend and me at all (we are in our early 20s). They let us borrow beach towels, you can buy a bag of ice for $3.50, and baked goods are served at 7 PM. The brownies were SO GOOD. I wanted the whole batch. Since this hotel is smaller, there is really no room service or anything like that. But housekeeping comes daily to change towels and make the bed. The hotel is only a 5-minute from the boardwalk, which was so convenient! They also give recommendations on where to go during your stay :) A few hours after we checked out (11 AM), I received a 'Thank You' ecard from the hotel, which warmed my heart! We will continue to stay here every year we go to Ocean City!

First off let me start by saying I am VERY cautious and picky about the cleanliness of wherever I…read morestay, and this was my first stay at anything other then 4/5 star hotels. Me and my boyfriend came down this past week for senior week and had booked an efficiency room. STAFF- I had arrived early at the motel and staff immediately got me checked in and I could go straight to my room. Also one night there was a rowdy group staying above me, sounded like they were jumping off things onto the floor and just making a lot of noise for being 2 am. After about an hour I went to the front desk and the guy immediately went to their room and told them to quiet down and then personally came to my room to tell me to let him know if there was anymore problems. Everyone on the staff were friendly and helpful. ROOM- the room was a very reasonable size. We had a full size refrigerator, stove and microwave. The bathroom sink had very low water pressure but that was no biggie. CLEANLINESS- the room itself was very clean. White, stain free sheets, no mold in bathroom and I even took a bath (which I am normally totally against at hotels.) Since I'm being honest with this, there was a small black hair on the sheets but I'm assuming it was from a member of house keeping since there was only one and the sheets were clean. The room smelt of cleaning products. Whenever we allowed, house keeping would come in and clean the floor (since we always had it sandy) and also everything else in the room as well as take out our very full trash everyday and replenish towels which were clean and usable. On days we did not allow them to come in, they would ask if we need anything such as towels, toilet paper, etc and were more then willing to give us whatever we needed. Microwave could have been cleaned a little better but the cleanliness of the rest of the room made up for it and it was nothing horrible anyways. Overall, very impressed. LOCATION- All you have to do is cross the street and walk up the sidewalk and you were on the boardwalk. Also across from a subway, and near a dunkin donuts and pizza shop as well as a few other restaurants and also mini golf. The motel is within walking distance of everything on the boardwalk and the inlet (trust me I would know since I sprained my foot while down there and had to walk everywhere while wearing a boot.) We are planning another trip to stay here later in the summer. Very very impressed.
