This is an amazing place to stay if you want a family friendly atmosphere and a truly relaxing place to stay. We have been coming back each year for the past 9 years and encouraging other family members to join us each year! We love the charm of this place, as well as, the warmth of Mary, Sara and their...

I have stayed at this hotel many times over the last 15 or so. I love that it is right on the Boardwalk (8th st.) family run, and a clean, very affordable hotel. The only downside is, it is very dated. The rooms are very small and meek. Would love to see this hotel get a facelift. Don't get me... More

I have stayed at the Lankford many, many times!! The best word for this very old hotel is "quaint"!! If you are looking for luxury then you might want to look elsewhere...I do love being pampered at hotels but when I go to Ocean City I just want a place to sleep, without paying an arm and a leg, so...

Great place to relax in Ocean City. They have kept the Old Charm and that is rare. The family that owns the hotel is great and they keep the rooms very clean. Highly recommend.

This is a family run hotel. It is right on the Boardwalk, cheap, and clean. Very friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Free, upgraded continental breakfast in mornings. I have stayed here many times, and will continue. Feels very safe, clean, and very affordable. No pool, and a little dated, but quaint. I would recomend The Lankford Hotel to anyone on a budget...

Family-owned, the Lankford Hotel is actually a series of five buildings with a range of options from standard hotel rooms to full apartments. The family that owns and runs it was there all the time, or so it seemed, and they were very helpful. I stayed there Friday and Saturday of Labor Day weekend (the traditional end of the beach...

This is the second year that some friends around the country have gathered at the Lankford. The rooms are small but clean and the air conditioning works and you have hot water. You don't go to Ocean City to hang out in your room. The location is right on the boardwalk and if you like to people watch either one... More

The location was perfect since it is right on the boardwalk. We went with another couple and shared a two bedroom room. Each room has a private entrance but has a shared bathroom. There was only a double bed, single bed, tv and dresser in each room. We paid an additional $8 a night for a dorm size refrigerator. No... More

This quaint property is run by very friendly and accomodating folks. The rooms are simple and a throw back to the 50's - that's not a bad thing. A simple continental breakfast was available in the morning. There's a large front porch with rockers right on the boardwalk. A great location. On Cruisers' weekend, we had solos, couples and a...

We picked the Lankford because of the reveiws we read on it and they were dead on. This hotel is perfect for the traveler that is not looking for a chain. It has awesome hospitality and service. Everyone was very friendly and made you feel as though you were staying with family. The whole place was spotless, our rooms were... More
