Top Ripley's Believe It or Not! Hotel Reviews

Grand Hotel Ocean City Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was clean with several amenities. Indoor/outdoor pool, arcade with pool tables, room was clean and nice size. Only issue was the bathroom could be bigger. Balcony was a very nice size. Would stay again."

Gateway Hotel & Suites Ocean City, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was clean!"

Park Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Had a balcony ocean view and it was fantastic. Wish there was more room for chairs on the balcony but we made do. Staff was pleasant. Not much parking either so if you have more than one vehicle be prepared to have to pay to park one somewhere else. I booked through Expedia and when I got to the hotel there was additional hotel fees that my email/receipt only said $59.97 and it ended up being over $100. So when booking through a third party be prepared that those extra fees will be due when you check in. Overall 5 stars"

White Marlin Inn

8/10 Good

"Everything is good. WiFi is shotty."

Francis Scott Key Family Resort

"Love this Hotel my only issue is I would never want to be on the 8 floor where the rooftop bar is that was not the best experience. Overall Cambria is a great place to stay"
