Excellent central location
Thanks to being positioned just a short walk from the beach and boardwalk, the location of the Homestead Beach Hotel was a real highlight for past guests. Centrally positioned in Ocean City, the hotel is also surrounded by a large selection of restaurants and attractions.

Hospitable and friendly staff
Although there has been the occasional complaint about the limited hours the front desk is operated, most previous visitors had a positive experience when it came to interacting with the staff of the hotel. The customer service provided is said to be very welcoming and hospitable overall.
positive:
Well-equipped and clean rooms
Thanks to each providing a well-equipped kitchenette, private bathroom and cable television, former guests were happy with the resourceful rooms provided. In addition, the majority found the cleanliness of the accommodations to be at an acceptable standard.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Small size of rooms uncomfortable
Many former visitors bemoaned what they considered to be small rooms at the Homestead Beach Hotel. The cramped nature of the rooms was seen as a major detriment to the overall comfort levels on offer.
negative:
No on-site parking
For previous guests that traveled to the hotel via their own vehicle, the exclusion of on-site parking was understandably a disappointment. While alternative parking options are available nearby, these are seen as expensive for the most part.
negative:
Far from a full-service hotel
From no breakfast to the omission of Wi-Fi, the Homestead Beach Hotel - despite delivering well-equipped rooms - is noticeably stripped back in terms of public amenities provided. Consequently, if you are looking for a hotel that offers various services and recreational activities, this accommodation is far from the best choice in Ocean City.
