Staying at the Commander Hotel was such a delightful experience! The staff was incredibly attentive and welcoming, which really made us feel at home. The cleanliness of the hotel was impressive, but there were some minor issues with the balcony rails and a few bathroom details that could use improvement. Even with a couple of hiccups, it was a good value overall, especially being so close to the beach and boardwalk.

The room was clean and spacious, which provided us with a comfortable environment to unwind. I appreciated having a kitchenette to prepare some meals, though I wish the place had a more thorough deep cleaning.

Location

The hotel has a fantastic location right near the boardwalk, perfect for easily enjoying everything Ocean City has to offer. However, we did notice some noise from the surrounding area, which might be an issue for light sleepers.
Dining
6.0
The dining options, while okay for quick breakfasts, could be enhanced with more variety. The fresh pastries were a nice touch, but I wished for a bit more selection.

We loved the pool area; it was well-kept and provided a nice retreat. The beach access was a major highlight that added to our enjoyment.
