Hotel Details

Location

Located on the Ocean City Boardwalk, steps from the beach and within a 30-second walk to the main promenade.

This motel sits directly on the Ocean City Boardwalk, with the Atlantic Ocean just steps away, making it ideal for beachgoers and those who want to be in the center of the action. Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum is 2 km away and Jolly Roger Amusement Park is 3 km away. Numerous dining options, including CA Pizza Kitchen, Captain's Table, and Fractured Prune, are within 0.5 km. The location scores a 9.6. For car-free travel, the boardwalk provides easy access to many attractions, and parking on-site is included for one vehicle. The shared balconies on the 3rd and 4th floors offer panoramic ocean and boardwalk views.

Accommodation

Rooms are compact and clean, with air conditioning, a refrigerator, microwave, and cable TV.

The rooms are comfortable and functional, designed for practical beach stays. They feature air conditioning, heating, a flat-screen TV, an alarm clock, and free toiletries. Some rooms offer partial ocean views from the side. The rooms are smaller, with limited space for toiletries, and a few have a musty odor due to older construction. Beds are comfortable with memory foam mattresses. The property is older and basic, but well-maintained and very clean. Certain king rooms offer ocean views, and the west building has rooms with front-facing balconies.

Dining

No on-site restaurant is available; free coffee, tea, and cookies are provided in the lobby.

The Safari Hotel Boardwalk does not have a restaurant. A selection of free coffee, tea, and cookies is available in the lobby 24 hours a day. Many restaurants are within a very short walk along the boardwalk, including CA Pizza Kitchen, Captain's Table, Brass Balls Saloon, and Julia's Ice Cream, all about 0.5 km away. Breakfast options are available for booking in some room rates, and a morning newspaper is offered on weekdays.

Wellness and Leisure

No swimming pool or spa is on site, but the Atlantic Ocean and boardwalk are right outside.

The primary leisure draw is the direct beach access and the Ocean City Boardwalk. The hotel provides vouchers for local water parks for children. Bicycle rental is available on site at an additional charge. The two large shared balconies on the 3rd and 4th floors are equipped with tables and chairs, offering ocean views and a place to relax. A hose is provided to rinse off beach sand before entering the property.
