ISLANDER MOTEL, Ocean City

Situated on 20th Street, the motel is a block and a half from the beach and boardwalk, placing it within easy walking distance of attractions like Ocean City Pier Rides (under 2 km). Jolly Roger Amusement Park is a 10-minute drive away. The immediate area has a high concentration of restaurants-including Sahara Cafe, Sinbad Restaurant, Dunkin', Just Wing It, and Fish Tales-all within a 0.5 km radius. The boardwalk is a short walk, and the tram offers a convenient way to return. While the location is ideal for foot traffic and cycling, parking on site comes at a daily cost, and finding free street parking can be challenging during peak times.

Room configurations include options with two double beds or a king bed, all with private bathrooms. Some rooms have balconies. The property offers rooms on the first floor, though bathroom access may not be fully accessible. Bed heights are high, which can be a challenge for children or those with mobility needs. Room sizes vary, with some described as compact. The AC units are wall-mounted and can affect room comfort if airflow is blocked. TV placement can be awkward for viewing, and some features like hair dryers or coffee makers are not provided. The property's condition and cleaning standards have been noted as inconsistent, with reports of cleanliness issues.

The motel does not have a restaurant or bar, and breakfast is not served. For meals, the immediate neighborhood offers a variety of choices within 0.5 km, including Sahara Cafe, Sinbad Restaurant, Spinnaker Cafe, Fish Tales, and Boogs BBQ. The area also has fast-food options like Dunkin' and Just Wing It. Those wanting a fuller meal can find several sit-down restaurants and cafes within a few blocks. The lack of on-site dining means planning meals ahead of time is necessary, especially for early breakfast or late-night snacks.

The outdoor pool is a key leisure feature, with a shallow end suitable for children and a fence around the pool for safety. Pool hours are 9 AM to 9 PM. Sun loungers and umbrellas are available, though availability of umbrellas is limited. The pool is open seasonally, typically from late spring through early fall, weather permitting. Nearby leisure activities include the beach (a block and a half away) and attractions like the boardwalk, cycling, fishing, and golf courses within 3 km. The motel does not have a spa or fitness center.

Vending machines for drinks and a cash machine are available on site. Limited business services such as fax/photocopying are available for an additional charge.
