Had a wonderful stay the week before Memorial Day. The staff was very friendly and helpful and maid service did a great and thorough job. Location was so convenient. They even gave us a midweek special which I was unaware of which included free breakfast at their restaurant across the street for the days we were there. Definitely an excellent... More

We've been coming here for 40 years. Can't beat the location right on boardwalk. Clean. Maid service is superb. Pool is heated. Basic motel lodging at a good value for the shore. We won't go anywhere else.

Clean, maid staff was great, very nice place!! We were (as other reviewers said) 1/2 block from the beach it was a little loud at times, but it quieted down in time for bed. Our kids had great fun in the pools, especially useful was the heated pool over the weekend (it rained and was cooler). We really enjoyed our... More

Just booked impala again for my family. The person who booked my reservation was very helpful and reminded me of a review I wrote a while ago. The review was a little harsh. She also reminded made me think how many great times me and my family have had at the impala. Looking back it was probably two people having... More

I have been staying at this hotel for 15+ years. Never disappointed! Only 1 block from the beach and the amusement park is right out back. Once in your room you cannot hear the rides at night, so don't let that scare you away. Two pools to choose from when you are done at the beach. Private outdoor showers to... More

Recent stay at the Impala with my wife was less than I expected for the money spent, off season. We stayed 3 nights Wed and checked out Saturday. No specials were offered. Room was clean and maintained, but NO MICROWAVE or Coffeemaker in the room. This is crazy, a hotel at the shore resort without a Microwave???? I stayed at... More

Reminds you of days gone by. A beach "motel". Clean, great location, and the "Jersey Shore experience" when you stay there. This was our third stay over the past three years, and will book again for next year. Once you park your car, no need to use it again until you get ready to leave.

We spent just an overnight at the Impala Inn to see a show by the Ocean City Theater Company (great show btw!) and stayed at the Impala. We were pleasantly surprised to find the room large enough to accomodate 4 adults. The staff was very pleasant. Although the decor was dated, the room was immaculate and when we asked for... More

This hotel was very clean, employees were very friendly and helpful. My main concern when finding a place to stay is the cleanliness and I was pleasantly surprised. There was also a nice pool area.
