    great location
    small store
    nice pool
    street noise
    poor sofa bed

    The location was fantastic, just a short stroll from the boardwalk, making it easy to enjoy the local attractions. The pool area was perfect for relaxation, and I appreciated having a small store attached for convenience. However, I had issues with street noise at night, and the sofa bed was inadequate for my kids. Overall, it was a decent stay with some improvements needed for comfort.

    accessible seating
    common area comfort

    The Forum is beautifully decorated with bright white wood panel walls and chic rain shower heads, making the space feel fresh and inviting. The staff was exceptionally helpful, ensuring our stay was comfortable and accessible.

    More accessible seating in common areas would help.

    great dining options

    close to boardwalk and delicious eateries for your strolls

    I loved being just a few steps from the Ocean City Boardwalk which made my walks to the beach super convenient. The proximity to awesome dining spots like Heart Beet Kitchen really added flavor to my trip.

    I loved the clean room and great pool! 🏊 It was a fantastic location, just a short stroll to the boardwalk. However, the noise from nearby traffic was a bit bothersome at night.

    tiny parking
    uncomfortable beds

    Parking spots felt ridiculously tiny, making it a challenge for anyone with a larger vehicle. The beds were uncomfortable, lacking the support I'd hoped for after a long day. Also, during my stay, I had to angle for beach tags, which were available but not handed out easily—nothing like Ocean City MD’s hospitality.

    heavenly risotto
    super clean
    perfect location
    terrible wi-fi
    noisy neighbors

    After an adventure at Forum, I sipped on heavenly risotto from Spadafora's Down East Restaurant, making my taste buds dance! Plus, the location nailed it, being just a hop from the boardwalk and super clean accommodations.

    clean room
    great pool
    friendly staff
    bed size confusion

    Perfect for a relaxing getaway!

    The place was super clean and modern. The pool area was awesome with plenty of chairs! I loved being so close to the boardwalk, too. A little heads up for future guests, make sure to double check bed sizes since I ended up with full beds instead of queens. Overall, I'd still recommend it!

    clean room
    rainfall showerhead
    fun pool
    deceiving photos

    The room was bright and clean, and I loved the new rainfall showerhead! The pool area was a fun spot for my kids, and getting ice from the lobby was super easy. However, the pictures looked a bit more modern than the room itself, which was just okay.
