Wonderful stay for me and my family. The property is so clean, looks recently renovated, the staff are extremely nice and helpful, and you can't beat the location. We continue to visit OC and Crystal Sands is always our first choice to stay!

This place is a classic OC Motel, but they have given it a first rate make over. Nice, sizable rooms, well appointed, not a lot of frills but simple beachy motel at a very affordable price. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Very clean, neat, and super close to the beach! Very little parking directly there, but they have another big lot just a short walk away, so parking wasn't an issue at all.

I’m always Cautious when booking in ocean city. But this place was very nice and clean and very big. The only downside is parking is limited in front of hotel. But they do offer a larger garage around the corner. The manager and front desk staff were very nice. And made sure we didn’t need anything. I will be booking again.!

The room was safe and remodeled well. It was very good for a motel. Parking was tight in the main lot and the nearby street. They have an auxiliary lot but it was over a block away. We had trouble with power to the refrigerator but they brought an extension that served well.
