The hotel was nice! Loved the special touch of the dove products supplied for your convience. Free breakfast, free parking was a plus. Wished the breakfast offered more variety such as cream of wheat, turkey/ pork bacon, grapes, or fruit cups, and waffles. Easy access to the beach (one block across the street) but not to the boardwalk. Therefore, keep that in mind the boardwalk ends at 28th street as the hotel is on 127th. No outdoor showers to wash sand off nor bathrooms at the entrance of the beach. Disappointing as you have to travel back to the hotel with sand all over the place or to use bathroom. Keep that in mind. However, the hotel does have a area you can rinse off by the outside pool. Also, there needs to be a better walkway/ramp for those with beach wagons trying to access the beach once the sidewalk runs out. More perks of the hotel: A chipotle is right in the same lot. A bonus is North point park directly behind the hotel for kids to play or run around. Fireworks showing on Sunday evenings. Can watch from the room or walk right on over. Far as staff I want to give a shouout to “Jamie” who was awesome. She was very welcoming and always had a smile on her face. Resourceful, and shows a passion for her job. Overall, Jamie was Bubbly and made sure we felt at home. Other staff member who I will not name was very rude and unprofessional. Family and I felt targeted, singled out, and uncomfortable. Beware!!!! Markers for discrimination.

The hotel was clean, the front desk staff were welcoming. My family enjoyed the complimentary hot breakfasts and the use of both pools. All our needs were met.

This was a perfect place for the family to stay while visiting the beach. Many places within walking distance and easy access to the beach. We would definitely stay again.

The hotel is definitely kid friendly. We loved the fact that there was a nice park behind and our kids loved the pool. Only thing was there was no balcony.

We've stayed at the Holiday Inn Express by Northside Park in OCMD three times now for Cruise Weekends for cars. Each time our rooms have been very clean, working appliances (TV, fridge, microwave etc) and excellent temperature control. We pay about $198/night for a King size accessible room. There is plenty of parking and we've never been worried about our vehicles. The rooms are spacious and have enough towels and toiletries (soap etc) for several days. The hotel is right near Northside Park and in very short walking distance from Tequila Mockingbird, Chipotle, Starbucks, Tony Luke's, Uber Bagels, Grotto Pizza and a Sunsations. Keep in mind that the windows are not tinted so be sure to close your curtains if you're changing in the room! Guests should remember that hotel etiquette is appreciated, especially in the late evening hours. Be mindful that the rooms aren't soundproof and slamming doors, yelling/children carrying on, loud televisions can be easily heard - this is usually our only issue in the hotel. The hotel staff are super pleasant and welcoming as well, we always feel comfortable here. We look forward to continuing to stay here for the OCMD Cruise Weekends!

The only thing that we really had a problem with was parking. We were there for the Christmas Light show at the park with our young kids (8yrs & 7month) and we had trouble parking at night due to no one enforcing you can only park at the hotel if your staying at the hotel. I mean the hotel doesn’t even have a parking pass to put up for there guest all they ask for is Make & Model of your car no pass no license plate number so there’s no way it can be enforced. Frustrating parking out in no man’s land with small kids when we are the paying customers.
