The picture on the website makes this place look 100 x better. My boyfriend and I walked into our room, looked at eachother and laughed. The pool was dirty; the towels we as hard as cardboard, the power went out. Yes they have direct TV but didn't have basic channels like FOX. There was trash on the ground and weeds... More

I strongly suggest never going here! The place is extremely outdated and dirty our toilet didnt even flush. We went on off season, virtually no one was staying there only the 4 people I had book the room with. I had a couple friends come visit for about 20 mins and we were evicted. I had to pay $110 for...

My fiancee & I stayed there for one night, spring 2012. We were going to a wedding in OC and wanted a cheap place to stay. Well, we got exactly what we paid for: cheap. As my fiancee said, you can be a cheap hotel and put forth an effort, or you can just be a cheap hotel. This one... More

I stayed at the Islander this summer. I would recommend this motel to anyone looking for a cheap place to stay. It was exactly what we needed, the service was fantastic. The owner (Theo) came to know us quite well and if we needed ANYTHING he was on it right away. Be it an extra pillow, towels, or toilet paper.... More

This motel is a great value. And in a great location. Close to downtown, but far enough away to get you out of that noise & crowds; nearby marina provides interesting 'entertainment.' It is nicely kept, our room was clean when we got there & cleaned every day. If we needed anything all we had to do was talk to... More

My husband and I (along with our 2 young daughters) stayed at the Islander in August. We were a little hesitant about going at first because of some of the reviews we read here. However, looking back on it we are so glad that we stayed and this will be our permanent place every time we go back to Ocean... More

I never have felt compelled to write a review until I stayed at this dump. The first thing we noticed when we walked in was the smell, terrible. We had reserved a efficiency room so much to our surprise when we found 1 fork, 1 knife, 1 plate, 2 cups and a unplugged refrigerator. The carpet was filthy, there was... More

My son & friend suggested we check out The Islander when we visited Ocean City, MD in July 2010. We haven't been to Ocean City MD in 27 years. We found The Islander to be inexpensive, very clean, very close to the Boardwalk & ocean. We especially were very pleased with the service & friendliness of the workers. This week... More
