Thank you Passport Inn for making our trip to Ocean City affordable! I love Ocean City but have not been able to go for about five years, because my family could not afford the $200 plus a night rates on the island. We are so happy we found this place! Clean, quiet, A/C worked great, and probably the hottest water and best water pressure I've enjoyed at any hotel ever! Not to mention the staff were friendly and always had a smile. And the pool was absolutely wonderful! Don't misunderstand, this place is not The Ritz. But for $60 a night, for all the more we were there (pretty much to shower and sleep) it more than met our needs. Downside? Dated decor, furniture showed obvious signs of age/wear, and parking was tight. But those were all things we could live with. Just a short drive into Ocean City, and yes they rape you for parking ($10 twice a day) but even $80 a day is a far cry from the rates you pay to stay anywhere on the island. And being able to park in different lots allowed us to do the boardwalk in sections, without a lot of walking to get where we wanted to go. Also convenient to The Crab Trap (get there between 3-5 for the early bird specials--delish without breaking the bank!). But skip the Point Diner next door. Way overpriced and we were not impressed with the food or service. But, back to the motel... If you are expecting luxury, you will not find it here. If you want a clean, quiet place to stay that's affordable...this is the ticket!
