The room was very small, the shower was very small. Both not a huge deal for us it was just my wife and I. We specifically booked an ocean front room on the boardwalk. I called and spoke to a woman to verify that the ocean front rooms had their own balcony because that was the only thing we really required when booking an ocean front room. The woman assured me that every ocean front room at this hotel had it's own private balcony. That was a blatant lie. When I checked in I asked the woman at the front desk of our room had a balcony, she said no they don't just a window. We would've never booked this room had we known for sure that it did not have a private balcony. They outright lied to us. Also, our room was directly above the breakfast cafe below and every morning our room filled with the smell of burnt toast/bagels. Not a pleasant breakfast smell.

Great little getaway

We booked a last minute room here and had a wonderful visit to Ocean City. The Lankford is in a great location, with a great ocean view from the rocking chair communal porch, and from our room window. The room is a little small, but plenty of room for sleeping. There is also a fridge (but no coffee maker or microwave) The coffee shop downstairs had a delicious bagel sandwich that we purchased for breakfast. Brian at the front desk was very friendly and helpful.

Old Hotel In A Great Location

Check in was great; we arrived early and the kind lady at reception informed us our room was ready. Parking is convenient and free. The hotel and room are very old. The door to the room is an interior household door, not a standard hotel room door. A simple push button handle lock is the only lock. This is only one example of how outdated everything is, minus the brand new refrigerator. We stayed in the Sandpiper room and it had two bedrooms, a small bathroom, a decent kitchen, and a small living and dining area. The balcony was great, with a lounge chair and a picnic table. But again, everything minus the refrigerator is very old. I suspect because the hotel is seasonal, it doesn't have the capital to do any renovations or upgrades. It simply fixes what is broken. From our experience in OC, many hotels are like this. Location is terrific, right on the boardwalk. You can't beat the location. The hotel has a "quaint" feeling, which is nice. And it was clean. I'd stay here again depending on how prices compared to other hotels in the immediate area.

We had a smoke alarm in our room that went off every five minutes. It took hotel maintenance over 30 minutes to come “fix it” he just ripped it off the wall and left. Old, outdated, but beachfront and on the boardwalk

Fun Family trip

The hotel is great! The staff is super-friendly! My family & I stayed here for a week & we loved it. The only little complaint I had is that the mattress on the bed my wife & I slept on must had been very old. There was no give in the middle & we felt like we were falling into each other LOL!

Pleasant and quaint

The hotel has a great location on the boardwalk. We could easily walk either end and find great restaurants. It is an older hotel so don’t expect all the modern amenities as the chain hotels. It was a nice place otherwise.

Furniture was out dated and very grossly used stained. Was not very clean. Ants coming out of the sink. Old food on the floors as if it wasnt vacummed. Stained carpets and visible black dirt and dust. The location was extreme convenient. Right on the boardwalk and steps to the beach.
