    That u guys have quite time at 8pm to 10am when you have any kids and ur w family everyone is on vacation to have a great time every one likes to hang out at the rooms and just relax and watch the kids play and u should be able to go to bed when ever you want to u deal with the noise that's around you it's a vacation time if you don't want the noise then I guess it not ur place for ur vacation i could see it if they are partying all night but sometimes family brings there kids and some kids are small ago and it's hard for them to be quiet otherwise it was good

    It was a very nice place and everyone talked to ur in the pool or if they were sitting outside

    The fact that they did not ask if we were paying separately or together and acted like it was cumbersome for them to separate it for us to pay individually.

    The food at Sahara Cafe was excellent, however some of the staff could have been more friendly.

    Beds could’ve been a little more comfy but you expect that at a hotel.

    Great location for the price we paid, right behind the boardwalk and beach and really close to food places! will definitely stay again!

    It's not very clean, almost unsanitary. There were flies on the ceiling, and some pop out of nowhere on the sink/bathroom/entrance area in the room I stayed at (room 223). I also had to clean the toilet myself because it had some stains all over, almost as if no one had cleaned it before my arrival. Bedsheets still had a bit of beach sand on. The only reason I did not report this during my stay was because I wanted to have a stress-free vacation and did not want to wait for housekeeping to deep clean the room while I was already there; as I expected them to have done that before my arrival. The other thing is (this is on me, my fault). Even though it's oceanfront and has immediate access to the beach, it's somewhat of a long walk on the boardwalk to get to the attractions and places to eat. (It's on 19th St! If you want to stay close to attractions, I'll recommend anywhere from 12th St down to 2nd St)

    It is oceanfront with immediate access to the beach.

    No in room coffee maker, ice bucket & plastic cups for bathroom.

    Oceanfront view on boardwalk! LOVED the nice private balcony w/out an annoying noisy air-conditioning unit blowing HOT air out from it's exhaust while we're sitting there. Sahara's AC's are inside and YES our room stayed nice & cool...some say there's a wall blocking it.

    The room was big enough for both of us but there was a little bit of rusty smell inside. The bath tub did not drain well in the bathroom. I needed more shelf in the bathroom to put my stuffs on.

    The location was awesome, walking distance to the beach area. I liked there was enough parking spaces. The staff was nice and friendly. I liked the area because it was quiet.

    No outlets in the room to charge devices. We had to unplug lamps to be able to charge our phones. One bed was great but the other was very uncomfortable and seemed broken.

    The price is a little higher. 😔

    Favorite place to stay although it’s getting a little too expensive. Been coming to OCMD for over 50 years third generation. Been staying at the Sahara for over 20 probably. Wish it were a little more affordable or wish that they gave discounts to loyal customers like us. We actually was there twice this summer. Hoping that we can always stay here. It’s location is great! Love the cafe.

    Stayed in the West Building. The room could have been cleaner. The A/C was a very dirty mess, the room smelled musty/moldy. Had to run A/C with the windows open, or else you'd get a headache. The sheets were stained, along with some of the towels/washcloths. Very very small bathroom.

    The staff was very friendly and helpful. The pool by the Cafe was nice, the Sahara Cafe was delicious. Nice balcony views. Accessibility to the boardwalk and shops from the motel room was decent.

    Very weak WIFI signal in the west building, so we were not able to use our devices over there. I talked several times to the personal and told them they needed stronger router or range extender to solve this issue, but nothing happened. Very disappointed about not having the WIFI signal in the west building...

    For a family and a small budget the prize for breakfast can not be recommended .
