tayed January 15–19 on two Expedia reservations. First night room heat was inadequate. Outside temperature was 28°F. Room measured 67°F at the heater and low 60s near the window. My wife slept in a coat under the covers. Reported the issue multiple times — promised service but nobody came. Lobby was very cold due to a malfunctioning automatic front door opening repeatedly. We were on the second floor and felt the cold throughout. Told we couldn’t change rooms because we booked through Expedia, yet the hotel combined our two Expedia reservations into the same room, showing room changes were possible. Heat only improved after repeated complaints. Staff showed little concern.

We stayed at the Grand Hotel Ocean City Oceanfront from January 15–19. We booked two reservations through Expedia — one for January 15 and another for January 16–19 — because we arrived a day early. The first night, the room heat was working but not adequate. It was 28°F outside, and the room felt very cold. My wife slept wearing her coat under the covers. I reported the issue to the front desk multiple times. Each time, I was told someone would be sent to check the heat — but nobody came. The lobby was also very cold, and the automatic front entrance door kept opening repeatedly due to a malfunction, allowing freezing air into the building. We were staying on the second floor, and the cold was noticeable throughout. I purchased a digital thermometer from Walmart to measure the room temperature. At the heating unit, it read 67°F, but near the window the temperature was in the lower 60s. The room was not heating evenly and remained uncomfortable. I was told we could not change rooms because the reservation was booked through Expedia. However, the hotel was able to combine our two Expedia reservations into the same room, showing that room changes were possible. Despite this, they would not offer a warmer room. After repeated complaints, the heat output eventually increased without anyone entering the room, suggesting thermostat control from the front desk. By that time, we were already sick from the first night in a cold room

Great place to stay! Great location, easy check-in, free parking, clean, safe, and the staff is great! We rented 4 rooms for a work party. All of the rooms were clean, had perfect views, and the staff were super helpful. I have stayed here a few times - it's one of my favorite hotels in OC. Rest/bar, coffee shop, a few small shops, indoor/outdoor pool, arcade, and right on the boardwalk.
Spacious room (This was when we were leaving)

Had to spend an offseason night in Ocean City to accommodate my daughter's cheer competition at the Ronald Powell Convention Center. This hotel is absolutely massive, with it's own everything - indoor heated pool, beautiful bar and grille on the premises, etc. The hotel was so nice I found myself wishing it was summertime and I was there for a week instead of one night! The room could not have been cleaner, and it was super spacious with a beautiful ocean view. I have definitely saved it as a favorite and I will be back for some sun and fun when the weather is warm!

Always a good stay and great views. However their heated pool isn't very heated, probably fine for summer visits but keep that in mind in the winter months.
