I read all the reviews for this motel before I booked it. I must say that they were correct. This place is a gem. The motel is minutes from the boardwalk and beach. The room was average in size with a mini-frig and microwave. Most of all, the room was clean and well kept. We have stayed in other motels... more

My mother and I stay the same week every year, and as all of the other reviewers have mentioned this is the place we always stay. The rates are affordable, the hotel is basic, but it is kept clean. Nice, clean pool area. We always joke about the big, thirsty towels-but they do the trick. We have always been satisfied... more

This was a great basic motel at an awesome price. Very family oriented and quiet. The room was so clean, bright and smelled wonderful. The outside areas of the motel are also kept very clean. Front desk staff is friendly and accomodating. The rooms are non-smoking, but they provide "butt buckets" filled with sand to use outside of your room.... more

This is our 6th year at the Empress Motel, always happy, still not disappointed. Very Clean, close to boardwalk and able to walk to many attactions and stores. Its a basic motel, with a good price. A traveler mentioned that the bathroom towels are small, and they are way to small. Trust me you won't be disappointed if you stay... more

This is a nice family oriented place to stay for a reasonable price. Even though it is an older motel, it is well cared for, clean and the staff is always friendly and helpful. We have been staying there for more than 25 years. The staff screens its tenants, which helps make it a friendly family place. It is close... more

If you are on a budget and looking for a family friendly motel then this is the place. They are careful of who they let stay the this motel. I stayed during 4th of July weekend. It was located half a block from the board walk on 20th street. There's nothing fancy about the motel. It looks as though its... more

We stayed at the Empress July 30-Aug. 5. It is one of the cleanest places I have ever stayed. We don't go for fancy--just the basics. I loved the location! You are pretty much right on the boardwalk and within walking distance of stores, restaurants, mini golf, and bike rentals right next door. Also good places to get coffee, breakfast... more

The Empress is a good choice. This is a nice, clean, conveniently located hotel. It is not oceanfront, but almost. The rooms are well cared for, clean and comfortable. This is just what you need for an Ocean City vacation. You can walk to the beach, to the store, to restaurants. Bike rentals are right next door. The service people... more

My fiance and I stayed at this motel on Memorial Day weekend. This is not your big hotel at the beach if this is what you are looking for in your stay. This is a locally owned smaller end motel but what else do you need when staying at the beach. The rooms are your typical motel rooms. 2 double... more

we love the empress. it's a clean and quiet place to stay. This year will make our fourth year of staying there. We stayed here the first time we went to ocean city and liked it so well we did not look for anyother place to stay. The staff are very nice and it is close to the water. more
