Courtyard by Marriott Ocean City Oceanfront

Location on 15th street puts it in the midpoint of the boardwalk. Hotel includes an indoor pool which is great in inclement weather. Hotel employees are attentive to detail and are knowledgeable. Location: Hotel is on the boardwalk so access to the beach is very easy. We were within walking distance to many eateries (iconic Thrasher, Fractured Prune, Dumsters, Fishers, Italian pizza and near new places such as the bakery Bae-tee). Hotel does sell a few food and necessities in a corner in the lobby in case you forgot some beach essentials. And when the weather turned gusty and rainy, the hotel's indoor pool was much appreciated, although I wish the conversation pit was warmer and closer to a hot tub. The hotel also offered a generous area on property to lay out, veg and tan in the sun when it was sunny but too windy to sit on the beach. I liked that guests get access (and a way to clean off sand) to a side entrance so we don't have to track in sand etc. through the lobby or our rooms. Also I liked how one can choose to use a more direct elevator to the parking lot that bypasses the lobby to cut down on time after check-in. Room accomodations were clean, tidy and while the mattresses need to be turned (to avoid dipping on one side), they were comfortable with numerous pillows. Internet access was easy and there were no problems with wifi during our stay. Included liquid soap and shampoo in the shower was fine. I like the included safety bars too. As I said, special praise goes to the hotel employees I encountered during our stay. All were professional, courteous and accommodating. As Terry checked us in, I overhead Tasha help an older couple understand important dining and pool hours. She could have just handed the info sheet but Tasha take time to also verbally give the info without the couple even asking for the extra help. Later on, I was grateful for the employees' accommodating attitude when there was a reservation mix-up due to an error on our part. I received a call from Tasha only to realize we had made a mistake. It was resolved quickly and efficiently. Lastly, a small but significant 'save' by Jay has me making this review. We bought Thrasher fries and small soft shell crab sandwiches from the boardwalk to eat back in our room. Somehow we could not find or forgot to grab ketchup packets. On a whim, I go down to the lobby to ask where I could get ketchup packets. I assumed Jay at front desk would direct me to the hotel restaurant to buy some, or tell me to walk to the restaurant and ask for some there. Instead, he asks me to wait, walks into a room and returns with, not a few packets, but with a generous handful of them. In my opinion, when a sibling wants ketchup over malt vinegar on fries, and I was coming back without any condiment, Jay saved the day! I have a few complaints. The pool deck was pretty slippery even if one used flip flops and it might be more enjoyable if the jets on the conversation pit was a bit stronger or the water a bit warmer. Still the temperature and weak jets might be because the pool does not offer a lifeguard so it's just a quibble. Hotel soap dissolves very easily and two hand soap bars should be standard. No complimentary breakfast but there is a hotel restaurant and our room had a keurig and a microwave. Each morning hot water, coffee capsules tea bags and cocoa are set out for guests in the lobby. I can't recall how long it is available but it was out until late morning. A nice Keurig carafe with coffee capsules was included in our room. I did not use the lobby much but it is well laid out. The lobby bathrooms had huge stalls, very clean and the stall doors gave a lot of privacy. The couches and chairs were comfortable. The view was just to the pool and the lounging area (but there is a private (just for hotel guests) access lounging balcony outside where one can contemplate the beach and ocean on the first floor, complete with lounge chairs).

Had a very nice stay in late October. The place was super clean and I loved being able to open the screened slider and listen to the ocean. Great price for an ocean view room and lots of great restaurants close by. They lose a star for not telling everyone that the key system was getting updated and you had to get them reprogrammed. Also not pleased that they charge for parking when there is plenty of free street parking this time of year. But they did gladly reverse the charge when I told them I would not be using parking. Staff was great otherwise and would stay here again for sure.

Wonderful room with sliding glass doors leading out to the patio and boardwalk with a great view of the ocean. One of the most comfortable beds and pillows I've ever slept on. Room was clean, and the restaurant was great

We would highly recommend this hotel to everyone visiting Ocean City, MD!!! The location is fabulous ( on the boardwalk); the rooms are spacious & spotlessly clean; the restaurant on the 3rd floor- The Captain's Table- provided high quality food and superior service - we had dinner & breakfast there (shout-out compliments to servers Lynne & Abigail). Terri, the front desk receptionist, was charming, professional and added to our experience. We will definitely return!!!

The rooms were modern, and immaculate. The only reason for 4 stars was the heat makes a tapping noise constantly, and it is very annoying. We stayed in the winter, I think staying in the summer you wouldn't have an issue. Also the conditioner dispenser was empty. Other that that we enjoyed our stay here.

My wife and I arrive later this week, but 5 stars for customer service in the meantime! I spoke with Nikia (spelling?!) who was very helpful on the phone around parking, things to do, etc.

The staff and team there really conscientious and friendly. The parking is a little tight but expectedly so on an oceanfront property. Overall I've been coming here for a number of years they did a nice job with the remodel I will be coming back again! Appreciate the GM for welcoming me back I'm being attentive enough to know that I've come before.

Brought our 9 month old to the beach for this first time and this hotel was very accommodating. The staff had the pack and play crib set up in the room for us. The room was clean. Great view. They even let us checkout late which was super helpful so our little could get a nap in. Definitely recommend!
