It was sunny, windy, and rainy, we had it all. My nephews swam in the inside pool while it rained. We hung out by the outside pool when it was sunny. We had a great breakfast at Skipjacks restaurant. The boardwalk is close enough to people watch from our balcony. But did'nt miss any action on the street below. It's... more

I expected a nice hotel, but this place was OVER priced. I stayed on the second floor in the ocean front building. The minute I stepped off the elevator, you can smell the sour musty odor of who knows what?? I had a suite, the air conditioning unit is not powerful enough to cool the entire unit, there would defintely... more

Nice clean hotel. I stayed in an oceanfront room which were steps away from the boardwalk. I also visited this hotel years ago, but I stayed in the Cabana building. Between the two, I would recommend the Cabana. The Cabana rooms have a pool view but the rooms are more open and have a much larger balcony. The other downside... more

This was our second year in a row we decided to stay in OC at The Commander for a long weekend. The staff is very courteous and extremely helpful. The hotel was completely booked, so we had to take a smoking room on the Cabana side. They went out of their way to clean the room with special cleaners and... more

This is from the email I sent to the Commander upon returning from my trip a couple of days ago: "We enjoyed our stay at the Commander Hotel. We found the hotel to be completely comfortable and very nice. The rooms were roomy and light; the AC worked well; there was plenty of hot water and good water pressure; the... more

This was our third year staying at the Commander, after reading some of the reviews, we wondered if things could have changed that much in a years time. We arrived on Saturday afternoon, before check in time and Pat at the desk told us we could use the pool area and she would call my cell phone when the room... more

It was a nice hotel - however very much outdated. The decor and lighting was horrible - some of the switches didn't even work. The best part it is right on the boardwalk. The TV was in the middle of the floor - however there is plenty of space for a wall mounted TV. They really need to take sometime... more

I stayed at the hotel in an Oceanview Suite. The hotel actually called me after I booked because I had booked online and sent a message that I would be traveling with my father, who is 86 and in a wheelchair. They called to advise me that they had a handicap accessible suite that included safety bars in the bathroom... more

Needed a place for myself, my mom, and 3 kids for the wkend. I wouldn't recommend this place. Overall it was clean, quiet, but not worth the $350/nite. We had an oceanfront efficiency room. The units have 1 a/c unit in the wall by the door on the balcony. it does not sufficiently cool the bedroom. we had kids sleep... more
