HAMPTON INN & SUITES OCEAN CITY BAYFRONT-CONVENTION CENTER, Ocean City

The hotel sits directly on the bay side of Coastal Highway, roughly a 6-10 minute stroll across the street to the beach entrance. It is within walking distance of the Roland E. Powell Convention Center and a selection of bars and restaurants such as The Dough Roller, Ocean City Barbeque, and 45th Street Taphouse (all 0.3-0.5 km). Jolly Roger Amusement Park is 2 km away. The location works well for those with a car given the free on-site parking, but the area is walkable for most daily needs. Highway-facing rooms pick up traffic noise, which can be noticeable especially in warmer months when windows are open. A bus stop is positioned right out front for travel further along the strip.

All rooms and suites feature a private balcony - rooms facing the highway overlook Coastal Highway, while others provide bay or pool views. Rooms include air conditioning, heating, a work desk, ironing facilities, and a sitting area with outdoor furniture. King suites and quadruple rooms are spacious and can accommodate up to 3 beds in some studio configurations. The bathroom includes free toiletries and a bath or shower, though the step into the tub can be high. No units have a private jacuzzi. Some units are accessible and wheelchair friendly. Noise from the elevator and highway is a consideration for light sleepers, especially in rooms near the lift on floors 2-4. The overall room condition varies: many are recently updated and clean, but inconsistencies in housekeeping are noted, so it is wise to check the room upon arrival.

Breakfast is included in the room rate and runs from 06:00 to 10:00. Options include hot items (eggs, sausages, waffles) on weekends, and a grab-and-go bag on weekdays. The continental selection offers cereal, pastries, fresh fruit, yogurt, and a 24-hour coffee/tea station in the lobby. During high season, a tiki bar operates behind the hotel from Memorial Day to Labor Day, serving drinks and food (closed on certain weekdays and weather-dependent). There is no full restaurant on-site. Several independent restaurants are within a 5-minute walk, including The Dough Roller, 45th Street Taphouse, Satellite Coffee Shop, and Red Red Wine Bar, offering alternatives for lunch or dinner.

Two swimming pools are available: an indoor pool (open year-round, 3-1.5 m deep, depth suitable for children) and an outdoor pool (open seasonally, typically from late spring to early fall). The hot tub is located in the indoor pool area only. Pool hours are 08:00-22:00 daily. A free fitness centre is on site. The property sits on the bay and has a sunbathing area with loungers by the outdoor pool, as well as bench seating facing the bay for sunset watching. The tiki bar (seasonal) sits nearby but is separated from the pool by a gate. There is no dedicated spa or wellness centre. The beach is a short walk across the highway.

Private parking is free but requires a reservation; spaces can be tight. Wi-Fi is free across the property. Business services include fax and photocopying, and a shared lounge/TV area is available. Accessibility features include wheelchair-accessible rooms and accessible parking. A minimarket is located on site. The hotel accepts American Express, Visa, Diners Club, Discover, UnionPay debit and credit cards, and MasterCard. Luggage storage is available, and the 24-hour front desk can assist with early check-in or special requests. Housekeeping must be requested. A safety deposit box, smoke alarms, and fire extinguishers are provided for security. Cots can be provided on request. There is no airport shuttle.
