Charming Ocean City Motel

Ocean City is a historic seaside destination. The Shangri La fits the historic identity. Charming place and staff. The property is a bit dated, but very fair value for money and the property is kept up.

The motel was great for what it was. You know you aren't paying for a 4 Star hotel, so you can't expect that level. The staff was friendly, the room was clean, there was a pool and plenty of parking. That was all I needed and expected!
