“Luxury? No. But for OC, it has its perks.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012
8
people found this review helpful

We have stayed at various hotels in OC, including Princess Bayside (right by Seacrets), Holiday Inn on 17th, Sea Watch Condos, etc, etc. We have young children and very much enjoyed the convenience of being on the Board Walk. The Holiday Inn gets 5 stars as it is a nicer, newer hotel (with an awesome pool area!) than Park Place but it is ridiculously expensive, $400+/night during the summer. So, we looked for an alternative and frankly, Park Place worked fine for our needs. We went in June 2011 - this review is a little late. We do not spend a lot of time just sitting in our hotel room. We were out and about on our 3 night weekend, shopping, going on rides, tandem biking, eating lots of junk. There is nothing luxurious about this hotel but you will find that luxury is difficult to come by in OC. So the four star ranking definitely takes that into consideration. The pool is very small but our kids didn't care. My hubby would go down to Conner's, grab us drinks and bring them up to the pool while our kids splashed around. Again, the most important thing about this hotel is its convenience. You really can't ask for much better being so close to all of the action. You could hear a little bit of what is going on outside (room overlooking the boardwalk) but it really wasn't a huge issue most likely because we were exhausted. Not sure I would want to to do more than a few days here with our larger family due to the small size of the rooms but it was good for what we needed for our short visit. Our room had two double beds and a pullout sofa so fits 6 people (and really not much else!). Room had a sink and microwave which is nice although we didn't really have a need for them. If price not a big deal for you and you like a little luxury, try the Holiday Inn on 17th (yes, further from action but still on boarwalk) but if you want some value, better convenience, and are willing to part with some luxury, Park Place gets you bang for your buck.

“Nice Off Season Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

person found this review helpful

We enjoyed our stay over New Years. The only problem that we had was the walls are very thin and we were woke up on New Years Day from the neighbors having "a good time". The hotel location is great. They should consider having automatic doors so it is easier to get you luggage into the hotel

“First trip to this hotel and certainly won't be our last!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

people found this review helpful

We took a "mini-getaway" this past November and of course didn't have much option of places to stay in the off season on the boardwalk... We are so glad we decided chose this hotel.. The location is EXCELLENT! Within walking distance to all the popular hot spots in OC and steps to the boardwalk an beach! The room was very clean and modern and the front desk people were very helpful, professional and pleasant. We are definitely looking forward to returning for a future visit this summer!

“The Second Time Around”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

I keep forgetting to post this review. It was the second time around for us here at Park Place. This place is great for families, a last minute trip or weekend trip. We stayed at Park Place again this past summer in June during Senior Week. We had our 2 yr old daughter with us and I was pregnant at the time. The hot water was shut off there were warning signs posted in front of the elevator doors on each floor of the hotel. Apparently it was going on b/c of a major repair that needed to be done. But we did not notice, it must have been off only briefly since I wasn't greeted by a cold shower (though I was sadly expecting it). The location is the best because you are right on the boardwalk which worked out great for us because I was entering my 3rd trimester, walking and extended time in vehicle was becoming challenging and painful. Park Place never disappoints us, it's family friendly and drama free even during Senior Week (one of the most drama filled times/weeks that Ocean City experiences). As a matter of fact, they banned the rowdy and drunken Senior Week party goers and boardwalk drunkards from using the hotel's facilities mainly the bathroom at night (even put a sign up and locked the doors) many would ask to use the bathroom in the hotel and corner the Conner's staff. They weren't having any of it and didn't even entertain the sarcastic questions like "so where do you go to the bathroom then?". Many asked and were turned away. The Conner's Beach Cafe breakfast buffet is the way to go if you're a breakfast person I know I am and you don't want to have to venture too far and no frills. The price is very reasonable and it's all you care to eat. I will always remember this hotel for returning my digital camera to me after I lost it during my first stay here. Something almost unheard of these days. This hotel is becoming a family favorite for us.

Room Tip: Do enjoy the breakfast buffet at least once.

“Great location rooms better than expected”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011
3
people found this review helpful

This hotel sits on the boardwalk right in the heart of OC. I travel to OC very often and found that this place offers a good affordable option. The rooms are a little bit smaller but typical of this area. The room choices usually include 2 beds....very minimal King choice but also very typical. The balcony was large and the extra room with sofa was ample.

The beds here were OK.....I have had worse but also better. Great choice for families and couples!

Room Tip: Would not recomend a room that sits within the open balcony...they are not private and open for that...
