Our granddaughter attends college in Salisbury and when we drove from Pittsburgh to visit her we chose to stay in Ocean City rather than Salisbury so we could also visit the beach! It was only about a half hour drive from Salisbury. We had originally booked our stay for Friday and Saturday night, but we ended up staying 2 extra... more

I stayed at the Castle in the Sand Hotel with friends for Halloween weekend in one of their Sovereign Seas Condo. The Castle crew had a fun weekend planned for their local fans and weekend guests. The weekend started with a blazing bonfire right on the beach, a pig roast, and scary movies (complimentary popcorn!) on Friday night. Saturday we... more

My wife slept under the covers and started itching about our 3rd day there! I have to sleep sitting up, so I slept in a chair with my own pillow and quilt. A week later she is suffering terribly, having been to the ER twice and to our primary care doctor once. Diagnosis? Scabies/Bed Bugs! more

I didn't expect much. First trip to Ocean City, MD with my family, including two toddlers. We stayed in a Waverly Castle Ocean Front Efficiency. Well, it was a great place with anything and everything one could want or need: Dining, entertainment, volleyball, end of season children's crafts and fun, great beach with cocktail service if you can believe it!... more

We really enjoyed our stay at Castle in the Sand! The hotel staff was very friendly, accommodating, and helpful. The hotel was older, but obviously renovated and well maintained. The room was large and immaculate. The location was terrific....right on the beach, so we did not have to walk far to sit by the ocean! The hotel also has a... more

We booked an oceanfront suite, and the view from these rooms is absolutely beautiful. There's a nice private balcony with 2 chairs and a small table. The view of the dunes and the ocean cannot be beat. The much-touted Beach House Restaurant closes (for dinner) on Labor Day. We arrived at the hotel 2 days after Labor Day; wanted to... more

Although not a new hotel, the grounds & buildings appear to be well maintained, and the rooms have been refurbished. Our room was clean and spacious, and we liked the oceanfront view. The process of checking in and checking out was friendly, easy, and efficient; and there is a free, gated parking lot. I wish there had been free internet... more

This was our first trip to O.C.M.D. and we came to the Castle based upon a recommendation from friends. We booked a 1st floor suite that opened up to the beach which we found more convienient than the upper floors could have been. Our room had a patio and lounge chairs. Just steps away were the Tiki bar where live... more

I have always trusted Tripadvisor reviews and hotel website information and photographs before booking a hotel - but I am afraid I will have to re-think this after our experience at 'The Castle'. This hotel seems to have so many rave reviews, It is almost as though these people stayed somewhere completely different! We paid a $200/night discounted rate for... more
