We visited in late August, 2011 for a few nights. A balcony on the boardwalk for $159 a night? I am there! The room was clean, the motel seemed to be well-run, the folks were friendly, and parking was fine. Very good location. A plus, their associated diner is good, fun and decently-priced. We WILL be back. More

Location foe walking is great, and the beach in front of the hotel is very large. Only problem this year was scratchy towels. Complained when checking out and manager was... More

Cleanest bathroom in a hotel/motel ever! It looked pretty new so I am sure it was recently updated and it was the cleanest bathroom in a hotel or motel I have ever used. I loved the location of the motel being so close to the boardwalk and the beach. WiFi coverage was spotty and I was able to get a... More

After cancelling our first reservations at "The Ambassodor Inn" because of bad reviews about 3 weeks before, we were lucky to get 2 rooms at the Sahara. Friends stayed there and they liked it, and the reviews were pretty good. We started out with 2 separate rooms in the tower building which was across the street from the boardwalk. We... More

My husband and I stayed here for the weekend of his birthday. The people at the front desk are very friendly. We stayed in the tower building overlooking the pool. We could see the ocean waves right from our window. We stayed in room 441. The room was very clean and spacious. The bathroom was also very clean no mold... More

Was going to be a few extra nights in OC. Checked in, got to use the shower, tub was very clean but, there is a mold problem on the ceiling. There is a window in bathroom but no fan. The room looked as though it was re-done recently new carpeting etc. Had to checkout because of evacuation due to "Irene".... More

If you want a fairlycheap place to stay,i suggest you try the Sahara motel.We've stayed there twice so far.Both times the rooms were clean,and we had no problems.The pools were adequate,the only drawback was the distance to the heart of the boardwalk.We had a great time,i'm already planning our next vacation in 2012.

We took a 4 day trip down to Ocean City for a little summer getaway. There were 3 of us and we stayed in the Tower building. The room was clean and comfortable. The beds were really soft and we definetly will ask for queens next time. They could use a little updating but we didn't spend a whole lot... More
