Fenwick Inn

The hotel was very clean, and nice. As soon as we entered the building we were welcomed by warm smiles. The pool area was quite nice, just wished that it didn’t close at ten.

This hotel is defiantly in the ghetto. Rooms are ok, prices way too high for what they are. You can smell marijuana in the halls. Pool is ridiculous. Small children diving into 5 foot water unsupervised while their parents are occupying the whole hot tub for over an hour. Somebody is going to get hurt! Giving 2 stars because the restaurant upstairs is pretty amazing and you are only a block from the ocean. We will never be back to this hotel.

This place is terrible. The pictures made it look amazing when we went to book it. We were quoted the price of $ 98 with tax on the phone and ended up getting charged around $ 120. Manager refused to do anything about it and said they told us the average price over the phone. What good does knowing the average price do? The towels came with free hairs tucked in the folds. The bottle opener in the bathroom is disgusting. It had mold all over the back side. Half the games in their arcade are out of order. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
Also when we booked we told them we were coming through for business and they made their notes in the system say we were there for a bachelor party. Employees are top notch…

If you like paying to stay at a frat house then the nasty beer and rotten cigarette smells in the hallway is perfect for you. Partying in rooms till all hours. Tv blasting through walls. Pool and jacuzzi are nice too bad screaming kids have to ruin it. They say free breakfast but their restaurant isn’t open in off season, they give $ 12 total for 2 people for the restaurant across street which doesn’t open till 8 and the breakfast per person run $ 8. Front desk morning and afternoon staff are friendly and helpful. Bathroom is room has no vent. Room is spacious but mildew and smelly. Could barely sleep with all the banging till 2am. I should’ve paid for the Marriott.

The room was an ice box when I got in it took 3 hours and the heat set to 80 to get warm. Once the heat was on the ceiling started to leak across the whole side of the window.
Staff was very friendly. Rooms are old fashioned but clean.
Booked through Expedia and received full refund and complimentary breakfast across the street at Leo’s.

In context, this place is fine for a beach visit. I stayed in January, due to the family home being too full. The weekend and weekday rates were good. The room heat was high, so no problem there. Housekeeping does a spotless job. The room is very spacious. The power and USB outlets bedside are a modern convenience. The beds are adequate, and match the price. There’s an indoor pool, available during the winter too, but I didn’t use it.
The pillows should be improved, even at these prices. Some are chopped foam, others barely a step over that. (To compare: Disney All-​Star resorts were a little worse.)
Maintenance was just shy of adequate: the caulk between the tub and tile floor was gaping. Also, the shower water took 3 minutes to reach a hot enough level. It ran too tepid a long time (but the hotel is not highly occupied at this time of year either); this indicates a cheaper infrastructure.
Breakfast was offered, but it is via a voucher redeemed at the café across the street. The restaurant they had is permanently closed, turned into a lounge of sorts now.
Addendum: the floors and walls are not soundproof.

Rooms are big, prices are not too high, actually very good price compare to rest of Ocean City. If you Jewish you have Orthodox Synagogue next door, probably best place to stay above 100^th street !
Rooms are clean, swimming pool looks clean. Never had any problems in this hotel. Front desk very helpful !

I read some bad reviews, but you know what I only paid 68 bucks for our room and got free breakfast. Yes it was the off season, but this place is pretty damn good for the price in December. Oh and the bed was super comfortable. I have been here several times and really like it. Thank you for a nice affordable get away.

If I could give negative stars, I would. The rooms were sorta clean, if you didn’t look at the mold in the shower, in the caulking around the tub and on the shower curtain. The room seemed to have maybe 2 outlets and there were a ton of extension cords overloading them to power different things in the room. Also noticed there weren’t ANY smoke alarms in the room so if the outlet sparked and started a fire during the night, you certainly would perish. The toilet kept running, the ac was very noisy and the wallpaper was peeling everywhere. Don’t bother bringing your issues to the general manager, he couldn’t be bothered with it. That was made abundantly clear when I went to him for a more serious matter and was treated like I was a nuisance. The only thing half way decent was the bed. It was comfy, but they were brand new due to the fact they were reported to have been infested with bed bugs the prior year. Stay away from the pool and hot tub, it’s dark and dingy, someone actually got hurt in the hot tub while we were there. Super gross. If I could’ve checked out and gone to another place, I would have. Do not stay here, not worth it at all.

The clean rooms and reasonable are pleasant. I was very pleased with the housekeeping services as well. The menu at the rooftop restaurant was a bit sparse, ands could have used variety. My main complaint, which caused this to be a 3-​star review instead of 4, is that even though the hotel prominently advertises it as a «Non-​Smoking» property and even makes guests sign a form acknowledging this, there are hordes of people smoking immediately outside the main entrance, forcing everyone who enters or leaves to breathe their nasty fug of cigarette smoke. If management truly considered it a non-​smoking property, they would enforce it. If you don’t smoke, no matter why you don’t, I recommend avoiding this hotel.

I went to this place with my wife in August place was filthy smelled the room rugs were torn we didn’t even open our bags and just walked out

Seriously, I don’t know where to start. I have always given places a chance regardless of previous reviews but this place, I have to say that I made a huge mistake booking it. We paid pretty good money for this place and I really should have left but $ 410 plus taxes and other fees… I just could not make myself let that go down the drain.
Okay, so the place is a bit old, which in itself would not have bothered me too much… but the wall paper was falling down, there’s cobweb on the ceiling, the refrigerator was wobbly, the lights flickered whenever you get on the bed, the bathroom has no fan, the room smelled really bad and the AC has a broken grill and filled with dust. I had to go buy Clorox wipes and wiped everything down. Our room really creeped me out. We stayed for two nights and I could not wait to leave. Would not be staying here again. Very disappointed!

I loved our stay here. Not only because they were able to accommodate us on a last minute Saturday night but because our room was very nice & comfy !! Loved having a restaurant right upstairs so we didn’t have to drive to one of the overcrowded places on the highway.
The pool /​deck area looked nice. They have a little game room as well as room with vending machines.
Yes the rooms can use some upgrading. But our spacious king size room was very clean. I’d definitely stay here again!

Pool was filthy. They would not check us in til. 4. Can’t you call housekeeping and say, hey the king bed people are here, get it ready? No surly front desk woman no check in till 4. Sheets were so worn they were like gauze. Door was stuck all the time and looked like it had been broken in to.

Room was nice size, very clean. Feather pillows are awful at any hotel. In the bathroom the toilet seat would not stay up no matter what you did. They have no exhaust/​vent, and the shower head was broken. The indoor pool was nice and warm & hot tub was great, however I think the ocean had clearer water than the pool (goggles worn). We let the front desk know they were out of towels and 30 mins later still no towels, clearly zero yucks were given. So Lauren had to walk to the desk dripping wet, then magically towels were fully stocked. Rooftop bar was great & very relaxing, great view. All in all the place is reasonably priced, and comfortable. Would recommend if not looking to be pampered.

Large room, decent size bathroom though water pressure could be better? The Cali king bed in our room slept so well wished I could’ve taken it home. The Fenwick Inn is within convenient walking distance to the north end of O.C. beach (quieter than the southern board walk end). Many nicely rated restaurants and O.C.‘s «B» bus stops right in front of Fenwick Inn making it easily accessible to south end activities as well. My only complaints is the cleaning staff could’ve done a little better job and the outside of our rooms windows were in need of serious cleaning. Be that as it may, we’ll definately be back!

I had a 4day 3 night stay with my family of 3. The price was reasonable but as the saying goes «you get what you pay for». Thankfully there was a microwave and fridge but no blow dryer for your hair or ironing board & iron. I then read in another Unilocal review that you had to ask the front desk for an iron. After seeing the pic I decided not to. The beds were a bit uncomfortable. I woke up with a stiff back. But I like soft beds so it may suit others. Everything else seemed okay. Toilet and shower worked fine, bed sheets clean and beds made. However on the next day we needed towels and when we asked the staff said they didnt have any. When I asked why they said none of them had been washed… strange. so we went out on the beach and by time we arrived back we had fresh linen. But when we used the towels after our shower we were left with tons of lint all over us. Looked like someone had washed the towels with a roll of cheap toilet tissue. I even tried shaking my towel out and it didnt help. The next day the towels were the same. Today is our last day so we asked for a late checkout. The staff told us they are busy today so per the managers orders no guest are allowed late checkout. Lastly the location isn’t even as good as described. While it is walking distance to a lot of stores and attractions it’s far away from main attractions like Seacrets or Jolly Roger.
It’s at the very beginning of the boardwalk in the 100 block whereas all the boardwalk stores and activities are between the 30^th n 50^th block so you have to drive. If you’re just looking for somewhere to lay your head at a cheap price this place is okay but I wouldn’t stay here again.

Went for a night and wasn’t totally let down but not completely excited. The staff was pleasant and speedy. The rooms were neat and clean, beds comfortable, and bathrooms were clean. The TV didn’t work, the pool was disgusting, and coffee/​lounge area was dirty. The rooftop restaurant was very nice but the staff there were rude and didn’t serve well. I would go again for 1 night only if I had to

Not a bad hotel at all. Only reason for 4 stars is staff doesn’t seem to be very helpful once you’ve checked in. Upon arrival they asked us to check our room for smoke smell. Informed them entire 6^th floor smelled like marijuana and they just said okay as long as your room doesn’t smell. Further during our stay it reeked in our room, now I had a small child in my room and cheech and Chong were staying across from us. Complained multiple times and was finally offered to change rooms, and denied, do to the fact I was traveling with a small child and a woman j did not feel like spending 3 hours repacking. I was awoken at 3 AM to people stomping on the floor as hard as they could, shaking the entire room, hotel staff did nothing and said they couldn’t gaurentee noise free rooms.
Otherwise hotel is clean, nice beds, old tv, no balcony, charge you for just about everything, but clean towels, clean sheets, good housekeeping, everything worked nicely. However I will not be staying here again for the price.

You can get a cheap room at the Fenwick Inn but there is a reason for that. The owner (whoever they are) is not keeping up with the repairs and maintenance. It’s really sad because the place has potential. I’m sure it was once a nice hotel.
They are one of the few pet friendly hotels in OC which is a plus. Pets are only allowed during the off season and they charge $ 10 extra per night, per pet. And as punishment for having a pet they put you on the 7^th floor which is the floor under the restaurant. Evidently we were directly under the kitchen because we heard every pan drop and banging sound loud and clear from wee hours of the morning to closing.
The service in the restaurant is terrible. You have to wait for someone to show up to seat you then you are not acknowledged once you are seated. We got up and left and didn’t go back for the rest of our stay.
I have posted some photos to show a what you can expect to see. Nothing grossed us out it’s just general upkeep that is lacking. Things that wouldn’t even break the bank. Like shampoo carpets, scrap pealing paint & repaint, iron the bed skirts (check out the picture). Just those things alone would go a long way.
