I remember eating in the hotel for breakfast it was so lovely and the people welcome you to the Commander with... More

Not the Commander from the old days. Restaurant only open for breakfast on a weekend when there were literally no vacancies in town due to the Hot Rod show. No room service for a "luxury" hotel. The pool Cabana was open for lunch and evening drinks but the pool wasn't. There is very little on-site parking for a hotel with... More

We stayed here for a weekend getaway. It was a really nice, clean hotel. We were very pleasantly surprised. They have a great location, view and even an indoor pool. Everything was clean and had been renovated over the years.

My husband and I stayed in the hotel bldg for Springfest. Our usual spot was booked. The staff was very nice and helpful. It was clean and nice. However the bed was extremely uncomfortable. Has a cute little indoor pool, and a nice resturaunt. The breakfast buffet was great, well worth it. Great location on the boardwalk.

The Lynch family have owner the Commander since the 30's. Their standards of hospitality, cleanliness and customer care are second to none. Highly recommend the Commander in OC! The lcation is right in the middle of the famous Boardwalk and most attractions are within walking distance.

Stayed Jeep week 2012 Cabana suites. This hotel and many others in OC need a serious overhaul. The location is great but the room and bathroom were so dated and just plain old which made me see how dirty it really was. I was also disappointed with the parking situation, once you left the hotel you had to jockey for... More

We had such a nice stay here. The hotel is a great mix of old Ocean City charm and modern convenience. The room had very comfortable beds, a full size refrigerator and mini kitchen. Most importantly, it was spotless, and the cleaning staff was friendly and fabulous!! The view and location can't be beat. Staff was welcoming and accommodating. We'll... More
