“A cozy place to Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

I'm a bit late making this review but I wanted to add my thoughts. It's a wonderful place to stay. Very welcoming, the food in the morning was fresh and tasty, the rooms comfortable in a way as if you're visiting family, not staying in an impersonal hotel.
The only problem I had was the distance to the beach. It wasn't horrible, but loaded down with beach gear it certainly seems long. As I would return to this place, I will try to simplify and not carry as much to make it easier. It's a small price to pay for a pretty, romantic place to stay.

“Number one in Ocean City”

My husband and I just returned from a lovely stay at the Northwood Inn. John and Marj are gracious hosts who made us feel right at home. They tended to our every need and we slept like babies in the very comfortable bed in the Rose Room. The Inn is filled with many "little touches" including charming decor and attention to detail. From shopping suggestions to dinner recommendations, they pointed us in the "right direction." An afternoon snack of home baked cookies and a delicious breakfast completed an absolutely perfect visit. Treat yourself to the Northwood Inn. I know that we look forward to returning again.

“Home away from home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2011

What a wonderful weekend! My husband and I planned to spend our anniversary at the shore and "stumbled upon" Northwood Inn. It was my first trip to Ocean City and I have to admit, I'm now very spoiled after the experience. I've been to many seaside resorts, hotels and B&Bs across the country but this is now my favorite. John and Marj made us feel like family.
The room was very comfortable and clean. The sheets are very good quality and even Goldilocks would be impressed by the mattress.
Breakfast was simply divine! The melon was perfectly ripe, the orange-chocolate chip muffins were to die for and the coffee was as good as any hotel in Europe. When we saw John cutting fresh herbs for our eggs, we knew we were in for a treat!
Not only would I recommend this Inn to anyone and everyone, we have already booked a weekend for next year and are going to encourage our family to join us.

“Great find in Ocean City”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2011

Very nice inn, and John and Marj are fantastic hosts. We stayed with our twin 9 year old kids, and we all very much enjoyed our stay. It is the attention to the little things, and the friendly demeanor of the innkeepers that set this place apart. We would stay there again without reservation.

“Best B&B in Town”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

The Northwood Inn is a magnificent B&B in Ocean City. It is absolutely beautiful from the outside - especially at night with the lights on. The rooms are wonderful and the roof top jacuzzi is a perfect way to end a day at the beach. John and Marj are both great cooks and the food is delicious. Harry, their little dog is adorable. Both are wonderful hosts. Marj is a great photographer and John has fascinating stories to share from his adventuresome life. And they offer some great amenities like free beach passes and bikes. They are close enough to the beach to be convenient but far enough away from the crowds. I would highly recommend this B&B - it will enhance your stay and experience in Ocean City.

Room Tip: They don't actually have a swimming pool but they do have a great Jaccuzzi.
