I had a good experience at Princess Royale Oceanfront Resort in Ocean City, MD. The hotel doesn't seem upscale from the curb, but upon entry to the lobby, the water displays, glass decor, and sterile color schemes give a Miami beach hotel feel. In true resort fashion, there are many amenities on site including dining, spa, leisure, indoor pool, etc. There's even a coffee shop, souvenir shop, and arcade on site. The indoor pool is perfect for non-beach goers and those simply wanting to enjoy the relaxation of indoor swimming. The pool is located at The Atrium where there is an indoor tiki bar and mini arcade. During my stay there was a live band performing in The Atrium which livened an otherwise gloomy beach day. Right outside the beachside entrance to the pool is a bar and grill. You can walk out to the beach from The Atrium. There's a beach service available to rent chair, umbrellas, and cabanas. Multiple payment options are available. The suites overlooking The Atrium offer a great view of the pool, bars, and the floor to ceiling glass giving open sight lines to the beach. The room accommodations were very good. Very clean and spacious. There is parking on site in two areas: connected to the hotel, and across from the main entrance. It can be a nightmare to find convenient parking during the summer after hours. I found myself returning to the hotel shortly after dusk every day just to get a parking spot near the hotel entrance without having to park on the top level in the garage. During my stay, the parking lot connected to the hotel seemed to also be a storage space for the hotel, making for tight spaces in some areas. Nevertheless, on site parking is always a plus. Overall, a good experience at this hotel. read more

Have been here four times in past five years. Family loves it. Rooms clean, pool great and location on beach is perfect. Only two things I'd like to see is a restaurant on site for dinner, not just breakfast/lunch and some gathering areas around where we could play cards or something with friends. We were three families and I would have loved to have a spot maybe in atrium or outside by water where we could have had pizza together vs just in our room. read more

Stay FAR away, especially if you have children. My husband, our 2-year-old daughter, and I booked the King Ocean Level Cabana Suite (Room 114) for our honeymoon, paying over $3,800 for the week. We expected a clean, resort-quality experience. Instead, we found hair on our towels and in the shower, mold and water damage throughout the hallways, and a TV that didn't work for our entire stay despite maintenance coming to "fix" it. Things only got worse. We scheduled housekeeping around our toddler's nap, but they ignored the requested time and entered our room anyway after my husband specifically told them not to because our daughter was sleeping. They woke her up, disrupting the rest of our day. After housekeeping, our room developed a horrible odor that became so strong it made my throat hurt. Management agreed there was an issue and moved us to another room, forcing us to pack everything and relocate at 9 p.m., losing the convenience we specifically paid extra for. That night I became very ill and was diagnosed with strep throat the next morning. I can't say the two are related, but the overall cleanliness of this property was unacceptable. We decided to check out early after management agreed to refund $1,831.18. Days later, the full charge had posted to my credit card with no refund in sight. When my husband called, the front desk manager was dismissive and unprofessional. To top it off, I emailed before our stay asking about honeymoon upgrade options and never even received a response. This property is poorly managed, poorly maintained, and not worth the premium price. We will never return. read more

I was a little hesitant when buying rooms here but the hotel wasnt that bad. Right on the beach we got beautiful sunrise and sunset views. The rooms weren't bad and we had an interior balcony that was located right across from the indoor pool. Customer service was good and the barista in the starbucks was everything. The ONLY THING that made this experience not so great was the indoor pool. We went in the evening and placed our stuff down on some the seats and saw roaches . Thankfully it was the last night and we RUSHED out of there! read more

Princess Royale - indoor pool bar - non alcoholic drinks - Resorts Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

We stayed here for a weekend getaway and, at first, were very happy with the hotel. The property itself is nice, and the overall setup is great for families. Unfortunately, our stay took a shocking turn when we found a mouse running around our hotel room. We immediately went to the front desk to report it, and the staff didn't seem surprised or particularly concerned, which was disappointing. Maintenance came to try to catch the mouse, but by the time they arrived, it had squeezed under the room door into the hallway and likely made its way into another room. The hotel did comp our night's stay, which we appreciated, but it doesn't change how unsettling the experience was. We have two toddlers who were playing on the floor, and they slept on an inflatable toddler bed on the floor that night. I can't stop thinking about the fact that a mouse was running around the room where my children were playing and sleeping. It's unfortunate because the hotel has a lot of positives, but this is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. While I appreciate that the hotel refunded our stay, I would not feel comfortable staying here again until I knew the rodent problem had been resolved. read more

The hotel has it where it counts: clean, on the beach with basic amenities if you're looking for a nice place with a kitchenette. We like to mix up making our own meals and dining out so it worked for us. We had a room with an atrium balcony overlooking the ocean so got the best of both worlds. Only suggestion is to have a couple days of room service per stay. We needed fresh towels, trash removal and toilet paper by the 3rd day which was easy to take care of with the helpful cleaning staff. read more

If I could leave this place zero stars I would. Booked what we thought would be a family friendly vacation after our wedding and could not have had a worse experience. $3800 for a week you would think you're getting great service, food, and other accommodations. Rude staff that is shipped in from different parts of Europe that are rude and don't care. Management that is also foreign, and laughs and scoffs when you try to get issues resolved. We check in to our room after a 6 hour drive thinking we're going to unwind and take a shower and relax. The towels in the room were covered with hair, disgusting. The TV wasn't working and was given an attitude when I called to have it repaired. Requested room service for a very specific time because we have a baby that is on a routine and naps at certain times. Other parents know and understand this. Housekeeping decided to not listen and come during my daughter's nap, entering the room without permission waking her up causing massive disruption and distress to my wife and daughter. After going to management about this I was gas lit and the room was cleaned hours later. Upon returning to the room the room has this disgusting sewage smell to it which we dealt with for the night and the following day we asked management to come with someone to confirm this smell and have it addressed. They came and confirmed they smelled the smell and had us moved at 9pm again further throwing off my babies sleep schedule. That night my wife got extremely sick developing a higher fever and infection which caused us to go to urgent care and get her tested and prescribed antibiotics. No way of being 100% sure the smell and room was the cause but the variables are there. No smell before housekeeping, no fever or illness and when they come and leave now there is the smell and my wife fell ill. We decided to call the trip short and leave early after all the bad experiences and her being so sick. Management again gas lit us that they were so sorry and that upper management would be in contact with us to further rectify these issues. We were supposed to be refunded and were given a print out confirming this. We were charged in full and still haven't been refunded. No upper management reached out. When I reached out today I spoke to a front desk manager who's from the Philippines who does nothing but laugh at you and accuses you of being rude while offering zero help. Avoid her she's horrible at her job and will just gas lit you more. Truly save your money and rent a house, book a different hotel. Find somewhere actually family friendly. Find a place where they actually care. Zero stars isn't enough of how much this place sucks. read more

I always book 3 ocean front suites early in the year for a June multi famiy vacation. Checking in always a hassel..2nd floor suites were good location, beach access and pool access..

Your Mid-Range Oceanfront Kingdom! Sitting pretty at 91st Street, it's the Goldilocks spot of Ocean City - just right. Far enough from the boardwalk chaos to actually hear the waves, close enough to hit the action when you want. It's like your aunt's beach condo got a moderate update in 2015. Oceanfront suites rock killer views and kitchenettes (hello, midnight snacks). Standard rooms are... well, standard. Clean? Yes. Instagram-worthy? Maybe with good filters. You're paying for location more than luxury here. That said, the indoor pool complex is surprisingly decent - think "tropical paradise meets community center" vibes. All in all definitely worth it! read more

Currently staying in a 2 queen bedroom, side ocean view suite and the room and hotel have been great. It would get 5 stars if there was a more routine like cleaning service for trash pickup and towel replacement. This stay resulted in a 1 star overall and 1 star service rating because our room was double charged when we checked in. We didn't notice the double charge until we went to a restaurant and our card was declined. We immediately called the resort and after a long call the resort admitted that the double charge was on accident and the refund would take 7-10 days. There were no calls, emails, texts, or anything letting us know that the card was double charged, so we ended up overdrafting our account and were left without money on our first full day of our 3 night stay. When I practically begged for assistance, the only offer to help was a $100 credit at the resort. We have 2 adukts, a 5 year old, and a 3 year old, this would pay for 1 meal and still no gas to drive back home to NY. We traveled 7 hours from NY to Ocean City and the resort could not assist in any way. We are not rich and live paycheck to paycheck and this mistake was a major problem to us. Sad to say that we will never stay here again and strongly advise that nobody else does. This $650 mistake is not affordable and with the 100s, if not 1000s of guests that stay here they cannot assist when they've made a mistake, it is unacceptable. I still am in shock seeing our entire vacation fund disappear due to 1 person's mistake. DO NOT STAY HERE! read more

Recently stayed here April 2025, to celebrate my 42nd birthday. I did this trip solo and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! The professionalism displayed just add was top tier! From check in my trip was amazing. The suite itself was decorated so nicely, everything about the decor screamed "ocean" and I loved it , (I love water) . I especially loved that it was a complete kitchen although I didn't cooked, I liked having the option too. There was a living room, and balcony and of which I could see and hear the ocean from the balcony. The beds were really comfy and I loved the bathroom. I loved that there were televisions in both the living room and bedroom. The restaurant on site was closed because it wasn't opened yet and that was okay. But honey... the POOL! The pool was INDOOR & HEATED! I sat at the pool with my speaker and relaxed and listened to music. I especially liked that the hotel wasn't directed in the "middle of the boardwalk" . The person who checked me in was amazing and I had an amazing time. This will be my go-to place to stay read more

Booked a spring break vacation. Arrived well-after check-in started, parked, and walked in to a really long line of customers waiting to check-in and only one employee at the front desk. 20min later we were told our booking could not be found. They had a glitch in the system and for some reason it didn't register (but was paid) and so they double booked. The solution? Another 20min of trying to figure out what to do, get a hold of a manager, and then finally they offered a temporary 1 bedroom suite (for free) and promised to move us to our 2 bedroom ocean view suite the next day. We booked 3 nights so this wasn't the worst compromise, but it was a huge inconvenience and so the first night was completely not what we had planned for in terms of comfort and privacy. We also ended up sleeping on the pullout couch in the living room, which was loud due to the lack of sound insulation from the hallway. The next day, we had no news on a) when we would be moved or where we'd be moved to. It really disrupted our "relaxing day at the beach" plans as we had to follow up with the front desk proactively to get a response and then be at their beck and call when they were ready to fix their mistake. Service at the front desk could definitely have been better as their lack of follow through and consideration was unacceptable. They ended up telling us to "come back" after 11am checkouts because evidence fly they didn't know what would be available (contrary to what they had told us the day before). Went back after brunch and was told they'd call us (because again, they didn't know). Finally when they did call us, they moved us from one wing to another (far) and did not offer a cart or a bellboy to assist with the move. This wasn't evidently our problem. And we didn't get our promised 2 bedroom suite with a view (aka what we paid for) but instead we were given two 1 bedroom suites next to each other. A $50 dine in credit does not compensate for all of our stress and effort, not to mention the time we wasted dealing with the front desk. In total we spent the night in 3 different rooms, all renovated, but here's what differed in each room: 1 bdr ste (limited view): The first suite had a side view (some ocean view) and was on a lower floor and had two queen sized beds with cushions. The bathroom had a bathtub and shower. The kitchen had a dishwasher. The living area had a small dining table and two chairs and a nice lamp. The walls had wooden paintings which meant less echo in the rooms. 1 bdr ste (with view): this suite had different bed frames (less nice looking, no fabric ), and no cushions on the bed. The living area had the same sofa bed but no dining table and/or dining chairs. No dishwasher or any way to wash dishes (sponge/dishwashing liquid). The living area also had more echo in the rooms with the glass covered frames. The bathroom was lacking a handheld shower head (half-installed). No bathtub. The TVs were smaller in both the bedroom and the living room. 1bdr ste (with view): this one seemed upgraded compared to the one next to it, with proper bed frames and a shower head in the shower. Otherwise it also lacked everything in the other room, such as the dining table and chairs, dishwasher, a way to wash dishes in the absence of a dishwasher, and no bathtub. Also had smaller TVs. The TVs have direct TV, Netflix, and Prime but nothing else. Couldn't login to our Hulu or Disney+. Beds were too soft imo. The ocean view is beautiful. Giving 3 stars for its location and the views. The indoor pool was very humid and very busy. There's a small game section with card access. You can win prizes. There's also a ping pong table and a tiki bar. It was extremely busy and loud with a lot of splashing. They allow swim toys, such as inflatable rings, water guns, and other floaties so you can imagine. Kids loved it. Adults have to fight for poolside seating. It's a battle! The gym is currently not available even thought the website claims it is. The lower arcade is also unavailable. The spa seemed closed whenever I checked. The restaurant also had very specific hours, which we were able to enjoy on our last day (ala carte brunch). The coffee shop was also often closed where several patrons were upset they couldn't get coffee in the middle of the day. The rooms have keurigs and free coffee though. read more

I really wanted to like this place but just didn't. Check in starts with you sitting in your car, blocked in the driveway until the person or two in front of you is finished. The room was clean but housekeeping doesn't come unless you call them. I called, they still never came. I called again and we had to wait outside in the hall while they straightened the room. There were kids jumping on the floor above us for 15 minutes after midnight, there was drilling at 9:00 am... and if you stay on the poolside, it's noisy from 9:00 am to 10:00 pm. All in all, a lot of money spent on meh' accommodations. read more

Would return.  Staff is nice, room very clean, lobby area looks great, glad they have a parking garage but it's tight.   I was expecting my room to not available until later, but it was available unexpectedly during check in.  My room was renovated and it had a kitchenette, it had plates glasses, Utensils and coffee cups.  Pool was cloudy and didn't seem to clean, but it was nice and warm and my daughter had a blast in it. I loved the bar right by the indoor pool.  They also had a little shack with ice cream, snacks, drinks and beach toys.  They need some better signage to the elevators.  I would absolutely return! read more

Stayed here for a conference. I ended up switching rooms because the power was out in half of my first room, so I'll give the details on both types of rooms Overall - Free parking is available with a parking tag. There is an arcade, spa, indoor atrium pool, tiki bar outside, Schooner Restaurant (only open on the weekends), a small coffee store, a small convenience store (which was never open during my stay), a photo booth area, gym 2 Elevators led to the upstairs - on each side of the hotel My first room partially faced the beach. 2 queen suite. Living room with a pull out couch, tv, small kitchen table/desk, chairs. Fridge, microwave, sink, 2 mini burners and plates/cups/utensils. The bedroom had a walk out balcony, a small tv and drawer/closet space. The beds were kind of hard. There were only 2 outlets along the head board walls and only behind one of the beds I was upgraded to a renovated room due to the power outlets not working sufficently to a queen suite that faced the beach. Beautiful site, ocean breeze and curtain coverage as needed. Plenty of working outlets, living room with large tv and drawer dresser. Refrigerator, sink, microwave, plates/cups/utensils. No mini burners. Bed was a little soft. Both rooms had blackout curtains, controllable heat/air 4 stars because there was no food available on site (except coffee area) not until Thursday/Friday. There are plenty of restaurants across the street from here read more

This review was another group effort. If it were based only on our experience it would have been a 5 star. We rented a room with an ocean view at a surprisingly reasonable rate. OC has some crazy expensive rooms during the season. Ours was newly renovated. Looks like they are working to refresh the hotel but it is in process. Not done. Indoor pool looks great for kids. Outside has a bar where you can get snacks and watch the waves We stayed here kind of by accident. Family had a room so we decided to stay. They did not elect for one of the renovated rooms and they said it looked and smelled very early 90s. read more

Pros: Offer of amenities Nice staff, extremely helpful Suites for larger groups (sleeps 6) Indoor pool Rooms seem nicely maintained/newly renovated possibly. Cons: The breakfast place... there's a reason it's not very advertised. Almost completely empty at peak breakfast time was our first sign. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere outside of the hotel (Layton's is a quick walk away) The parking garage is tight to navigate and we only saw one elevator. Because the indoor pool is a main focal point smack dab in the middle of the resort, if you are in room 511 for example you have to trek up stairs then elevators then walk another 1000 steps to your room to go to/from the beach. It's exhausting. The resort is in dire need of renovations in the main halls/common areas. Now this isn't the resort's fault (entirely), but people really don't know hotel etiquette these days. Why are we on speakerphone at 5:13 am through the halls?? Why are we bringing pets (not ADA compliant service animals) and then leaving them alone in our room?? There's worse in OCMD though, so at least it's not bottom of the barrel. read more

Was giving a 4 star review until the checkout process. We had asked for additional TP around 8am and told "we'll get someone to bring you some" An hour later, no TP and we were leaving to check out and once we left our room there were three housekeeping staff directly outside our door. Carts and all. Still no TP. We get to the front desk to check out and my wife politely says that we never got our TP and they should really be able to provide this from the front desk. The girl behind the desk got an attitude about it and was rude. What a fkn joke. Train your staff better. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else. read more

I was really excited about this hotel. It got great ratings. Check in is at 5 PM. Was told there wouldn't be daily maid service, you have to call for clean towels, toilet paper and anything else. Room was supposed to come with 2 burner stove. No stove. Wet bar. No Wet bar. Dishwasher. No dishwasher, but had dishwasher detergent. No extra amenities. Our "clean" room - Floor was covered with sand. Had ants daily on nightstand and in my bed. You are not allowed to use luggage racks. Only Bellboys can use them. I paid dearly for a 4 star hotel. This isn't. No room service at all. Ordered DoorDash. When I checked out I was going to tell them about our stay, but front desk lady was on the phone, grabbed my key cards and shooed me away with her hand. read more

Staying here for vacation went to the bar and was told I needed an ID in order to get a drink. I gave them an ID wanted to order a beverage for myself and my wife and was told no.

My kids are 33 and 31yrs old now and I used to bring them to this hotel when they were younger. Such a Family friendly Hotel. I bring My GrandGirls annually now and this time I truly enjoyed my room that was on the 2nd floor which is the same floor as the pool. Customer service has always been excellent and the BellBoys are very attentive when you need help arriving and departing! My suite has the kitchenette which I enjoy having that option. My suite was clean. I have never encountered an issue with my stays. If it rains you can sue the indoor pool or if the weather permits you can just walk out directly to the beach! I brought some family with me this summer and they enjoyed their stay also. See you next summer Princess Royale. read more

Nice rooms, front deck was helpful. Bellmen to help you unload your bags, or park and then unload. It can get really busy in the front of the hotel. They have a coffee station selling Starbucks. That was a plus. Limited hours. Outside restaurant was priced a bit higher and a few customers complained that they were ignored. Location to the beach was great. Close to the grocery store(acme) I would vacation with this hotel. read more

This place has potential with their beautifully renovated rooms and incredible views. My boyfriend and I came here for his birthday weekend expecting a relaxing time by the pool and many trips to the beach. Unfortunately, our room was EXTREMELY far from the entrance so anytime we wanted to go anywhere we had to walk pretty far, and the pool was PACKED every time we tried to go. The first night we wwe noticed the TV's wouldn't connect to the internet no matter what we tried, so I contacted the front desk and was told "that just happens sometimes". We stayed for 3 nights and not once were we able to connect the TV's, luckily I brought my laptop so we watched movies on that, but sucked to pay so much for a room to relax in and we couldn't even watch TV. The worst part of the experience was the bugs for sure... our room was riddled with ants to a point where we had to keep all of our belongings off the floor or else the ants would get in them. At breakfast (which was $110 total for 2) our table had tiny spiders crawling all over it so we moved to a table with less spiders... still gross and disappointing considering the amount of money paid. It really stinks because this place is in a GREAT spot and has lots of amenities, but considering all of the negatives and the cost to stay here it is unlikely we'll return when we can just stay at a more affordable and cleaner hotel. read more

The hotel has a nice atmosphere when entering. The lobby area is very neat and clean and classy. There is a Starbucks in the hotel in lobby area. There is also a gift shop in the lobby area called Sandy's beach treasures. The pool is very spaces lots of room. The pool is also heated in winter time which is nice feature. When entering the pool area there is a strong smell of chlorine so be aware. There is a restaurant in the beach view of hotel called the Schooners. The hotel hallways are a little outdated and has a cold draft throughout. (Caused by renovations in hotel). The hotel rooms are very nice and have a great comfort feeling. Your first thought is wow there is a living room (beware couches are hard to sit on) and kitchen in here (Keurig coffee pods are decaf just reminder). In the cabinets of kitchen area there are plates, bowls, cups, and utensils. Not to mention the bedroom area. The bathroom is also very nice, the shower has some high pressure which is a plus. The balcony is very small and not much room to move around. All that being said I give it a 4 star rating due to the high chlorine smell, drafty hallways and hard couches. I would recommended staying here. read more

The oceanfront room structure ( inside) was slanted with the kitchenette cabinets partially off hinge , the beds were hard, and very comfortable to sleep in; the Balcony had a running light that stayed on all night ( very annoying), the Wi-Fi network was unstable our entire stay.

Don't have to leave for meals lots to eat close by and 7-11 very close ! Winner every time, fairly priced. Best in class for Ocean City Maryland. Very happy here always read more

I stayed there for a convention a week ago. I made the front desk aware there were ants and gnats in the kitchen and bathroom. Maintenance responded quickly and sprayed. Later, while getting ready for bed I saw a mouse run across the kitchen and I was livid. I called the front desk and was moved from the 2nd to the 5th floor. Ofcourse, I asked how I would be compensated. I was told I would be comped one night. The next night I went to the bathroom around 2:30am and a roach was crawling down the bathroom door. While packing I noticed a dead bedbug on the spread of the bed I didn't use. Naturally, after shaking all of my belongings while packing I talked to the manager of the hotel. She asked if the one night was satisfactory. I told her I would like to be compensated for the entire stay because this was unacceptable. She only comped the one night and I'm still waiting for the refund. My union stays there every other year. Needless to say, I will never stay there again. read more

Very clean. Very quiet. Not near the boardwalk (no rides etc..) which we liked. Had a great time except there is no handicap entrance to beach. You have to walk around whole building for wheel chair access. There are steep stairs to Goto beach. If you have hard time walking as is it's not fun. Restaurant was closed but apparently had room service with a high fee for that. Housekeeping at this time not allowed in rooms unless you request. (Due to Covid) & understandable. They have a small spa as well if need massage/facial/etc... (which I took advantage of) kind of pricey but worth it.(separate establishment from hotel) pool open 9am-10pm (9am-10am) adults only. Small hot tub & 2 saunas. NO SMOKING in hotel / rooms $1,000 fine. Had a small gym as well. Was told new ownership & a lot of renovations are planned. Large patio with bar / restaurant & nightly music. Enjoyed our stay.... read more

Nice hotel. Nice rooms. Great location. Friendly staff. Indoor pool for rainy days. Outdoor bar with food. Restaurant inside hotel is nice.

My husband and I visited Princess Royale on 8/18/2025 and we were suppose to stay until 8/23/2025.The effects of Hurricane Erin left us unable to go to the beach( the beach was closed due to high winds and currents). The beaches are the reason we go to Ocean City, We asked the manager Paula if there was anyway we could get a partial refund because we wanted to go home. We left on Wednesday 8/20/2025. Two thousand dollars for 2 horrible nights, stuck in a room. She stated unless there is an evacuation there would be no refund. Paula the manager didn't even offer any kind of courtesy. Some hotels would have taken into consideration the circumstances and perhaps offered a credit for a free night stay, a free breakfast, a free drink or something to accommodate the customer. It seems the Princess Royale only cares about the immediate dollar and is not concerned about repeat customers. We will never go there again and we go to Ocean City every year. I plan on letting family and friends know they should not go to this hotel. Also, there is really no place to have dinner. The bar around the pool serves dinner and the pool is packed with kids. Not a quiet place to enjoy dinner. read more

Princess royale oceanfront resort is the worst place I have ever stayed at in my entire life..they told me when I booked that there was complimentary breakfast to find out when I got here there was not!. They also told me there was room cleaning upon request only..guess what we requested room cleaning to find nothing was done. They clean towels were left outside the door, Housekeeping never came I to the room. Garbage pails not emptied, bed not made used towels not taken away. When Housekeeping arrived they told me they weren't allowed in room There was a total contradiction of procedure amongst the entire staff..a total lack of responsibility. At this place the guest do not matter. Honestly I don't know how they get away with it!! Before you make your reservation here I would make it at the worst place and I bet they'll be better than here!! They had the nerve to tell me they'll give me a comp for a drink at Schooners restaurant in the hotel which is never open! This place is a joke don't know how they're still in business! If I didn't already pay I would be out of here! One more thing the entire floor had a foul smell for 3 days that was overwhelming. We were sitting at the outside bar for a while and we were asked to move unless we ordered something. I could understand it if they were crowded but Noone was there. Talk about customer relations. I wish I could say something good . read more

Maybe nice a long time ago. Not anymore. Rundown, very rundown. Felt creepy, never ever again.

very nice hotel. big and beautiful. we stayed 2 nights in Feb. it was off season and slow so our experience might not be typical. room was nice and clean. the whole place seemed clean. there's was repair work on the roof so the pool was closed. The front desk girl lxlild have been nicer. I did NOT like that the hotel charged my card with an additional $100 security deposit. we're seniors so I think that was silly. Also, i asked for a luggage cart but she wanted me to leave my drivers license with her. I thought that was weird so I ended up carrying our bags. In the room a couple of the electrical outlets were apparently worn out so the plug would not fit I. snuggly. the lamp and clock weren't working. the tv remote was hard to use. I think it needed batteries. the restaurant was closed. Again, we were there off-season in Feb so the hotel was just barely open. overall a nice place. read more

What a complete disappointment. Here is the view from my $439 per night ocean view room. Hallways smell like weed and the cheap makeup on a pig updating is a joke. Ruined vacation. read more

Princess Royale - If you squint and hang over the balcony you can see a drop of water. $439 per night ocean view. What a JOKE - Resorts Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

Both restaurants were fantastic, and most staff were very accommodating but I have to stay for the price we paid (more than $400 a night) I definitely would expect better than a "suite" where you have to literally move furniture in order to plug in a phone. Both lamps in the living room were broken, autocloser on the door to the hall was broken (major fire hazard there) door to the bathroom swings and hits you (hard) in the knees while you are sitting on the toilet if you don't slam it shut first. We literally had to defrost the freezer to get the ice maker to work (required since there is no ice machine in the vending area). We needed to use the laundry bc our swimsuits would not dry when hung in the room. The laundry only uses quarters and there is nowhere to get change (no machine in the laundry and no help at the front desk). A sign in the laundry proclaims that "laundry products" are available in the "convenience store" in the lobby. Of course no such store exists, at least not after 5 pm. Seriously, don't come here unless you are very well prepared. read more

Perfect winter get away with young kids. Bell man helped us to our room and was very friendly. Heated indoor pool was relaxing, renovated rooms were beautiful. Could have been a bit cleaner our socks were black in the bottom after walking around the room. read more
