They were close to the beach and boardwalk. Now our specific hotel was not on the beachfront side, etc. but it is also close to the Starbucks in OCMD. I loved the proximity. Clean room. Shower & Tub combo. Elevator to get stuff up and down to room. Clean bedding. The one downside was they don’t have any luggage carts so make that be something in mind when you’re packing the items up to go to the hotel. Have something to lug to and from hotel room. Hope this helps.

Our stay was october so was a little chilly. The carpet was kind of yukky and the doorway was in ill-repair. Overall was a great stay. Did not realize was no elevator-likely my fault that i did not see that information. I would stay there again but my travel companion would not be able to due to the steps.

First, let me say this in my opinion the Sahara needs an upgrade. The room reminded me something out of the 80s with the burgundy and green. Every staff member I ran into asked if I needed anything. I would rate them as extremely friendly. Everything was clean except the walls could’ve used a wipe down. There’s no elevator but only three floors. The balcony is great on the smaller side no party ability. There’s an actual door to exit to the balcony. The bathroom was the cleanest bathroom I’ve seen. At night I could hear people talking not exactly what they were saying but aware that they were people next-door. All in all it was everything I needed for my first vacation alone. I will stay here again.
