Hotel Details

Location

Right on the Ocean City boardwalk and beach, steps from the pier, rides, and family entertainment.
Located in the heart of the boardwalk, the Rideau Oceanfront Motel provides direct access to the beach and boardwalk via a convenient walkway. Ripley's Believe It or Not Odditorium is 850 m away, and Trimper's Rides is 1 km. A wide variety of restaurants including Fish Tales, Mother's Cantina, and local favourites like Tony's Pizza and Thrasher's French Fries are within a short walk. The location is ideal for families and concert-goers, placing you in the centre of the action with no need to drive.

Accommodation

Rooms range from standard to oceanfront, with select units featuring private balconies and sea views.
All rooms include a microwave, refrigerator, flat-screen TV, air conditioning, and heating. A private bathroom is standard. Select rooms offer a balcony with pool, street, or ocean views. Many oceanfront rooms are spacious, featuring two king-size beds and a pull-out sofa bed, suitable for families. The property is older and basic in style, but some rooms have been recently renovated. Standard rooms have windows; a 'no view' room means the window faces another building or hallway. The exterior corridors serve as terraces overlooking the pool and parking lot.

Dining

No on-site restaurant, but free hot coffee and tea in the lobby and a variety of dining within walking distance.
The Rideau Oceanfront Motel does not have an on-site restaurant. Complimentary hot coffee and tea are available in the lobby for all guests. A vending machine offers drinks and snacks. Dozens of restaurants are within a 5-minute walk along the boardwalk, including seafood at Fish Tales, Mexican at Mother's Cantina, and quick options like Tony's Pizza and Thrasher's French Fries. The staff is known for providing excellent local dining recommendations.

Wellness and Leisure

A seasonal outdoor pool with sun loungers and umbrellas, plus direct beach access.
The seasonal outdoor swimming pool features a shallow end, a fence around the pool, sun loungers, and beach umbrellas. It is open daily from 09:00 to 22:00, but availability depends on the season (typically mid-May to mid-October). The property also has an outdoor shower for rinsing off sand after the beach. There is no spa or wellness centre on site.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Book directly with the property to potentially secure the best rates and room options, such as oceanfront balconies.

  • 02

    Request a room away from the ice machine and high-traffic areas if you are a light sleeper.

  • 03

    Plan to visit between May and early October, as the property closes for the season in mid-October and the pool operates seasonally.

  • 04

    Bring your own coffee maker if you want in-room coffee; only hot coffee and tea are available in the lobby.
