Had a great time. Not crowded this time of year. Good rates.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Ocean View - Great Price"
Great value for a beach hotel. Not the cleanest but not the dirtiest. Great ocean front room with a terrific view from the balcony. For the price it was an excellent value.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Family Fun Getaway"
My family had a great stay over a long weekend. We were a bit sad the ice rink was closed but enjoyed the pool and the warm weather allowed us to play in the surf. Overall the trip was great. Our room did not get refreshed during the day and the carpets need replaced but the hotel is fun for all! My family will return.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Wasn't what we expected!"
The location was great,that's about it! The hotel room was not the cleanest..bathroom walls has hair and dirt all over them,as well as a dirty tub! There were peices of miss matched carpet and peices of stray carpet laying aroun..the pull outside was very dirty and the life guards were rude and hardly spoke English,there for couldn't understand what […] we were saying! We will not be staying here again! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Off the boardwalk but just as much fun!"
The Hotel was very clean, staff were great, and the kids had an awesome time at the ice rink. The shows were GREAT too!! It was really nice to be so close to the beach and not have to worry with all the traffic from the boardwalk. It was only a short drive to the boardwalk anyway.....The beach was very clean and not an overwhelming amount of people […] like you get when staying on the boardwalk. I was VERY pleased with the Carousel and plan to continue to stay there again next year! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Family vacation"
We decided to get away on a short vacation so we booked this place last minute. It was a nice place, it has an ice rink inside it (yes, an ice rink). They give you two complimentary beach chairs for your stay which I thought was really nice. Food is an the overpriced side but it is everywhere in Ocean City. The hotel room was a nice size, it had a small […] fridge and microwave. It was right on the beach. We had a great stay their. The was only one thing that may be an inconvienence for some people, it was hard at times to get the elevator, people checking in w/ large amounts of luggage, so we opted for taking the stairs. Luckily we were only on the 4th floor might not work if you were higher up. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not as advertised"
We were disappointed with the Carousel hotel during our stay. We reserved an ocean front room and did not realize that this portion of the hotel was very old and dilapidated. The only access to the floors was using a rear elevator that was not well kept. The main room had a nice view but with only 4 floors of “Ocean Front” rooms and the pool and outdoor […] restaurant between the hotel and beach, the noise was significant. Starting in the morning and going until night, the noise made it impossible to relax and enjoy the balcony and made it difficult for our 1.5yr old to nap and sleep. The microwave in the room was about 20+ years old and the fridge was also old and worn out. The hotel overall was not clean or well maintained. The buffet breakfast was very limited in options, and did not even include waffles or French toast and the few things it had were not very appetizing. I could continue however suffice to say this is not a place I would recommend to anyone, especially with small children. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"managment not cooperative"
I feel that the personal did something without my approvial. I was told to check out in teh morning and i could check back in for the next day. and when I went to check out and wanted to leave the hotel due ot an illness I was told they did it for me and that I wouild not recieve a refund for the next night of stay. This was at 9 am in the morning and […] I was very upset with your staff. I contracted food poison from a resturant on the board walk and ended up in the Hospital back home. I did not check in for the next night it was reserved but when I went to check out they had already checked me in and caused me to loose money that I should not have. / Mr. M.

"The best place to stay in OC - Maryland"
We stay at this hotel all the time. We have stayed in the regular hotel rooms and have also rented personally owned condos from private owners for our family's summer vacation. Our kids love it there because of the ice skating rink. With a grocery store right across the street and close inexpensive restaurants, it's definately worth the stay!! The other […] thing we love is the building security and large parking deck next to the hotel for our oversized vehicle. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"The Carousel Hotel & Resort"
Wonderful acomodations, great staff, could use some modernization. Pool area needs acoutical improvement and whirlpool renovations.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
We had a wonderful stay at the Carousel and the children really enjoyed the ice rink and the indoor pool. It was supposed to be a "non-ocean" side room, but we could see the beach from our balcony..Our room was very comfortable and we could control the A/C and heat, but we did hear some complaints from another family who were in a different building […] and their A/C was off in anticipation of a cold front coming through. It was close to lots of mini golf and shopping, so all ages of our children(6-20) had a great time. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Carousel"
I loved the amenities of this hotel, although the rooms could use some updating. The ice rink was closed during the time we were there, but the pools and beach access were awesome. I had a lovely time with my family.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Our second time at Carousel"
We returned for a late summer weekend and stayed in a nonocean view 2doubles. First, we were on the street side but since it was Biker Week and very loud we asked to be moved to the interior: within 5 mins someone was letting us into our new room--great service! We were at first disappointed the ice rink was closed since one reason we choose Carousel […] is for ice skating with our son. But, they had set up a kids play area with bouncy and all kids of balls so the kids could run and play for hours--it was great, wore him out! We did not go back to the onsite restaurant since we had a terrible experience there last time. (Try Blue Fish for great Japanese/Sushi). Overall our stay was adequate and what we expected. The desk staff are always very accommodating and friendly. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Carousel Resort Hotel-Would not stay here againl"
When we arrived at our hotel, the lobby gave us the impression that it would be a rather luxurious hotel. After a lengthy wait in line to get checked in, we went to our room. We were disappointed with the condition of the hotel. It looked old and the halls had a musty smell to them. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Carousel Hotel in Ocean City, Maryland"
The only complaint that I have is that we ended up with a room on the rooftop of the ice skating ring. The room had a balcony we could not use because that is where the birds would hang out. There was bird poop all around and even though people are told not to feed the birds, the people in the rooms above threw food down and we ended up with food dropping […] out side our balcony door and a bunch of birds surrounding. Other than that the hotel was nice, the room itself was nice and spacious and the hotel is in a great location. I would recommend this hotel and I would stay there again. Just make sure you aren't on the 5th floor roof top. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very convenient though it needs a facelift."
I have been vactioning in O.C. and at the DE beaches my whole life (I'm a 43 year old father of two pre-teens). My son and I stayed at Carousel this summer and really enjoyed being able to walk to the beach, the restaurants, mall and other places that were so close. The beds were small (two doubles in the room) so if my wife and duaghter were with us, […] it would have been a bit cramped. Only one negative: I notices small fruit flies in the bathroom and then around the kitchenette area. I can;t stand a room with any type of bugs so this was an issue for me and downgraded my experience which otherwise was very positive. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

All good. Good spot, plenty of parking, pool ok. Nice fitness and indoor pool. Not huge pools, but OK. Good beach spot, easy hose off. Food being right there is convenient. Nice spacious room for price. No complaints. Good value for price.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"not no Ritz, but met expectations"
Was actually a little better then I had thought, though I did go in with low expectations. Hotel was decent and pretty kid friendly. Daughter had a good time, so that made ours.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good Family value"
THough the facilities are showing their age abit, the location on the beach, and the pools, ice rink and dining make it a great place to stay with young children. My kids loved the place, and we had a great time.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Weekend Stay"
For the weekend, the room served its purpose, although the hotel is clearly in need of a remodel. Our room was damp and smelled musty but appeared clean. My son refused to use the bathtub because of a rust (?) stain that he thought looked like blood. The conveniece to the beach was a huge positive. I would not rule out staying here again, however it […] probably won't be the first place I look into. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Carosel"
I love this hotel, because theres a lot to do for children (big and small). The weather turned stormy one day. So we swam indoors (played ping pong by the pool) and then ate at their restaurant. Then we went ice skating! The only problem we had at the hotel was the food. Although most meals at the outdoor cafe were very good and tasty; the pizza sauce […] was very plain tasting sauce with huge tomato chunks and the steamed shrimp (served cold) that is reasonable, and served cold was raw. I'd recommend cooking the shrimp, lol. I recommended they use canned pizza sauce as it's better tasting and whole milk cheese as it's better quality too. The crust was good though soggy from too much sauce. Getting off on being a food critic, but I did own a restaurant and food matters! The waiters and food beverage manager were awesome!! NOT their fault!! They took the half total price of the check off, which more than compensated. OVERALL....I loved my stay and would go again. NOT CLOSE TO THE INLET RIDES; BUT JOLLY ROGER IS AT 30TH QUITE A DRIVE. STILL WORTH THE STAY, AS IF IT RAINS IT'S FUN AT THE HOTEL!! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Carousel Hotel in Ocean City -right on the beach"
Family had a great time at the Carousel. Room was nice, much larger then we anticipated. Mini-kitchen in the room was a nice, unexpected feature. Indoor pool was great, ice skating rink is one of a kind for OC, hotel is located just a few steps from the beach. Would definitely stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Noise"
I visit this hotel a couple times a summer because it is very kid friendly and oceanfront. I have always had a great experience, but this last time was pretty bad. There was a college party all night from 7 pm to 3 in the morning and had rented two levels of the hotel. I find this pretty shocking given that it seems to be a family establishment. I had […] to call the front desk three times because the noise from the drunk college kids in the hallways was so loud. I was so afraid that someone was going to throw stuff down on our balacony and being in the hotel with just myself and my 5 year old and 2 year old was very scary. The college kids were banging on my door at 2 :00 am. I was honestly very shocked that the hotel front desk did not care about my experience when I was telling them what happened at check out. I explained that I called several times about the noise and that my experience was very bad. Perhaps, I will stay somewhere else next time. If the Manager would have seem concerned about my family as its customer I would come again. I work in customer service and so I hope that by me filling out this survey some else will not have such a bad experience. Thank you kindly. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"nice but needs a remodel"
This was lots of fun for a family - the pool was fun (though colder than we expected for a heated pool) and the kids enjoyed trying to ice skate. I was surprised that this was rated as a 3 star hotel, I wouldn't give it more than a 2 compared to other hotels we stayed in. Having said that it is a great getaway for a family looking for something to do […] in the winter. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
