It was my first stay in Ocean City MD and I am glad we chose Beach Bum Inn. Check in was a breeze, parking is very compact and I had a bit of an issue parking because the way another car was parked but they immediately solved the problem! Room was clean and simple. Our neighbors were nice and quiet everyone seemed to obey the property rules. Literally right across the street we were on the boardwalk/beach and if you go the opposite direction of the beach no more than a 5 minute walk there was a 24hr convenience store and the pier/bay! PERFECT location!!! Next time we visit Maryland we will definitely be staying here again!

While it is definitely an older building the room was extremely clean. The bed wasn’t very comfortable but its Ocean City so I was mostly out and about. The location couldn’t be more perfect! A block from the beach and near a lot of attractions, shopping, and restaurants. The walls are a bit thin which wouldn’t be an issue if other guests are considerate. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed my stay here and would definitely return!

The staff were very kind but the pictures were quite misleading online, the blankets on the bed gave us the ick.. and the only thing in the room is a mini fridge and ours did not work and had an awful smell. The outside of the building is cute but the rooms not so much. Perks are very close to boardwalk and beach! Definitely felt like it was “ok” just way over priced for what it has to offer.

Small, but clean

The place it self was quaint. It was small but clean. Great location. My only complaint was the bed. We were supposed to stay 2 nights and I could only do one due to the quality of the bed. I’ve been very lucky to have never had this problem before at other hotels. I understand now how big of a deal it is.

The amenities are misleading. The room is small and does not have storage at all. The staff was rude beyond belief. Towels were cheap and useless. Shower had no water pressure. Beds were uncomfortable. Room needs to be cleaner. I wouldn’t recommend. Spend a little bit more money and stay at one of the hotels. On the positive side, the location was decent and walkable to the all the shops.

Close to the beach, and affordable in July

You get what you pay for, so my visit to Beach Bum was pretty much what I expected-- an inexpensive stay close enough to the beach. On that score it was really great! The room was small but comfortable and clean, the air conditioner worked well, and the staff are friendly and nice. The stairs were steep and there was no elevator, so plan accordingly. I would def stay here again.

Worse night of sleep ever

Check in was fast n painless. Room we got was clean. Bathroom sink was so oddly small, hard to brush ur teeth if ur right handed due to lack of room. Our bath tub wasnt draining right. Slow drain, was taking a shower in stabd still water. The bed was so uncomfortable because it was flimsy. It was slanted. We had to find a spot on the edge to get a firm spot to lay on. WORSE BED EVER. It was too late in the night to ask for another room. Plus we only stayed a night on our way down to FL. People outside was so loud. Free continental breakfast was mini boxed cereal n coffee.

Dirty & outdated

We booked 2 nights and arrived very late the first night. The room was filthy. There was visible dirt on the white bed spread which is the first thing you would notice coming into the room. There was also urine on the toilet and it was just obvious no one cleaned after the previous guest. Also the balcony door only had a chain lock,and was very close to the outdoor stairwell. We did not feel safe. We were unable to get a refund.

Great location, one block from the boardwalk. Staff is super friendly and nice. Rooms are cozy. A/C worked well. Shower pressure wasn’t good. Towels were if very cheap quality and would leave fuzz all over you. Something to keep in mind, though it’s a block from the boardwalk/beach, it is on the main strip and you will hear a lot of traffic noise throughout the night, which can make it difficult to sleep.

Although the staff was pleasant and attentive, there were issues. The wifi would not work consistently. It was spotty at best. I couldn't get through a single episode of The Big Bang Theory on streaming. The pool is quite small but you're right on the beach....so that helps. The freshly cleaned room had a strong chemical smell that I had to allow to air out before I could be in the room. There were spots on the bed sheets. Finally, the smell of mildew wafted into the main room from the tiny bathroom. You can't open any of the windows but I had a nice view of the roof of City Hall from the window in the room.

We stayed in the new building. The room was small, but big enough for the two of us, and we spent most of our time out so it didn't matter. It was a great value for the money. It was very clean and the housekeeper was so friendly. So were the front desk young ladies.

Wonderful stay, wonderful location.

Great hotel but not your typical one. The reviews were great and I have to agree. Check-in was fast and easy and the girl on duty was super friendly. Chyse I think from overhearing others. The room was clean, bathroom was clean. The bed was comfortable. Had a heated pool but we didn't use it. It is super small, more like a large hot tub but hey, they have a pool and it looked very refreshing. Our stay was cut short by a family issue but the time we were there was perfect. The location is really nice for not being directly on the Boards and we had a quick, very quick walk to get there. We would stay here again with no reservations. Parking looks like it could be an issue when fully booked but we had no problems during our stay for Springfest 22.
