Reviews

Grand Hotel is a great choice!

by Travis and Pam W

This hotel is an awesome choice for couples, family or business! It houses a spa, restaurants and a fitness room. There is an indoor pool and an arcade. Our room gave us an oceanfront view from the 10th floor. Close to the beach and boardwalk.

Mattress

The mattresses are terrible.
Didn't sleep well at all.
Please upgrade to firmer mattresses. It's not good for anyone with back issues. When getting off the bed, the mattress sinks in and you can hear the springs.

Family Activities

With the beach just steps away, families can enjoy a day of sand castle building, splashing around in the ocean or just soaking up the sun. If you'd rather relax by a pool, the hotel features an indoor and outdoor swimming pool for guests to enjoy. Take a stroll down the 2.5-mile-long boardwalk and check out all of the games and activities it has to offer. Although the Grand Hotel doesn't provide babysitting services or children's programs, there are tons of nearby activities for families to enjoy together.

Trimpers Rides and Amusements
For more than 100 years, this historic amusement park has enticed families with thrilling coasters, boardwalk games and indoor and outdoor rides for kids of all ages. Families also enjoy classic carnival fare, such as funnel cake and cotton candy. Best for smaller children, indoor rides include the Merry-Go-Round, Kiddie Ferris Wheel, Water Boats and the Wild West Train ride. There's a wide range of amusement park rides in the outdoor park area for kids of all ages. Smaller children will love the Bumper Boats, Swings and Frog Hopper, while older children and teens will like the Haunted House, Zipper, and Tidal Wave, a twisting, thrilling rollercoaster.

Splash Mountain
As part of the Jolly Roger Amusement Park, Splash Mountain is a great place for families to cool off without hitting the beach or hotel pool.

For younger children, there are several kiddie pools to splash around in, while teens can take a plunge down the 45-foot tall half-pipe slide.

Planning & Tips

All About the Extras
The Grand Hotel features an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, as well as a fitness center with free weights, cardio machines and equipment.

Complimentary wireless Internet access is available, as well as laundry facilities and concierge services.

The hotel also features an arcade/game room and an onsite spa with massage treatments and beauty services.

The Art of Smart Timing
Ocean City is a perfect beach destination for families, so the best time to visit is during the summer months. During these busy months, hotel rates will be at their highest, but all outdoor activities will be open and available for families to enjoy.

Hotel rates drop during the winter months when tourism in Ocean City declines. During the winter, not as many family-friendly attractions are open as in high season, but there are still things to do. Families can enjoy lights festivals, arcades, indoor rides at Trimpers Rides and Amusements, ice-skating, indoor mini golf and horseback riding at the Holly Ridge Farm.

For Mom and Dad
Acqua Day Spa
For some serious rest and relaxation, the Grand Hotel's full-service spa offers a wide array of treatments. Get pampered with a couples massage, or choose another treatment like the Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, mineral mask or facial
