Flamingo Motel

Umm no this motel was okay but only because it was just a place to sleep… The beach view wasn’t as good as advertised… the rooms were really old like the walls were thinner than thin. The bathroom lol if somebody walked past they could see u right in the bathroom. There was not enough parking… But like I said it’s okay to stay there just for some where to sleep

The room smells like mildew. Staff is rude. If you plan on coming here and having a good time with your friends don’t count on it. They don’t like you being anywhere besides inside your own room.

This shit-​hole doesn’t even deserve a negative star. My friends and I booked this motel planning to have a great end to our summer. Through the grape vine we heard great things about it. (Good location decent price) when we arrived there was no parking, made you park blocks away which is such an inconvenience, atrocious rooms that smell like pure shit and TERRIBLE employees who are ill-​mannered and inconsiderate. Zero respect for its patrons. This dump should be shut down immediately or someone needs to set it on fire ASAP!

The Flamingo Motel is extravagant and fabulous. It has a wonderful charm about it, offering many amenities such as «the flamingo special», luxurious pool, ocean view and an ice machine. Impeccable maid service and truly decadent. There are no rules! I would recommend it to everyone if you truly want the Ocean City experience

The absolute worst motel ever! I would save my money and go elsewhere. It smells horrible, the owner is greedy and rude and the place is from 1960’s nothing is updated which is ridiculous given the price they charge for one night. I wouldn’t let my neighborhood homeless man stay there

cheap hotel and rooms are a little old
beds are really small
but you get what you pay for
location is good and everything is in walking distance, jolly rogers is across the street
only thing that ruined the trip was when one of my wifes shirt went missing. the staff was nice and took all our info but i dont think we ever see that shirt again. it happend to be her favorite shirt also !!

Great location, clean room, incredibly dated, AC was working on and off, has a decent sized pool, steps to the beach and within walking distance to Seacrets. There’s a balcony too. You get what you pay for but really there’s no need to be super picky about a motel when the location is great and you’re just there to have fun outside of the motel. My go-​to lodgings.

Cute, basic, oldie timey.
Nothing wrong with it if you want a basic place to hang out in OCMD. Good location and plenty of parking. It’s not the Ritz but that s the point. It is perfectly fine. The employees I encountered were all very nice. The rooms are cleaned well.
I’d go back.

This motel was very nice for my very first stay at at a motel. I picked the Flamingo because of the positive reviews. I had a Farley nice bathroom. It wasn’t green at all. The only thing is the strange smell in the halls. I can’t figure out what it was but my room smelled fine so I was good. The outside could be updated. Also the have no Ocean front views they are all side views.

Great for what we were looking for — not too expensive, right on the beach, far enough away from the boardwalk to be quiet but close enough to walk to. Bathroom and kitchenette were dated and could use a facelift but we didn’t spend much time in the room except sleeping. Parking is tight — they really mean 1 car only. There is another lot a little ways down the road but once we got a good parking spot we stayed in it and walked where we wanted to go. Staff were all friendly and everything was clean. 15% off your stay if you pay your reservation in full before arriving.

I’ve stayed here two years in a row so far. The hotel is very nice and affordable. It’s basically right on the beach which is awesome! I’ve been very satisfied with both my both my stays and would definitely recommend the Flamingo Motel!

I only give the Flamingo 3 stars because of the shady pea pea yellow bathroom. It’s really ugly with a yellow-​ish green toilet.. enough said. With that said, everything else was GREAT. The beach is literally behind the motel and the rooms has all of your basic OCMD needs: balcony, frig, air conditioner, microwave, bed, pool, and free parking til 5 on your check out date. The staff was extremely polite and accommodating. If you need fun entertainment close by there’s a amusement park across the street and a 7-​eleven that sells beer and wine if you’re looking for inebriated fun.

An inexpensive hotel that feels anything but! Inland prices for an ocean front hotel. Just a short walk to everything.

Ive been coming here since im about 5. Love ocean city, love the flamingo. Its been my vacation every summer. This motel has the biggest rooms, best view (beach side), and the staff is so friendly. Wish the pool was open later but hey, safety first ;) love that im able to get the same room every year ive been here. I really is like my summer home lol

Stayed in a suite with a kitchenette. The overall accommodations were fine. It’s nothing fancy, but were looking for the Ritz. The room was clean and the staff is friendly.
One note, the kitchenette does not have any sort of stove or hot plate. There is a microwave, but don’t plan on doing any more than sandwiches and cereal. There are utensils, plates and glasses, so you don’t need to supply those.

Hurricane Irene ruined my August trip so I rescheduled for September, near the end of the season.
The prices and location are good. Flamingo Motel is only a few blocks away from the beginning of the boardwalk and close to the beach. Also this motel is very close to Higgins and PGN Crab Houses! It was easy to be rolled home after stuffing my face there.
Upon first look, luxury accommodations do not apply. I stayed in a kitchenette in Tower 2 with the wife. This is a lot of space for two people but it was the only available room with an ocean view balcony. I like balconies but the view of the ocean view balcony was not that impressive. The beds were a tad uncomfortable but I adjusted and enjoyed my time. I did not use the pools.
I will mention that I left a bag in the room and realized this when I got home (4+ hour drive). I frantically called the motel and housekeeping found the bag. They arranged shipment quickly. I commend the staff at Flamingo Motel for their honesty.
Overall a 3 star lodging in Ocean City (extra star for service). I would return.
IFHTP 1

I’d have to rate this motel about 3.5 stars. It is a good place to stay if you are looking for a relatively inexpensive trip to OC and the location is great; about ½ block to the beach and close to the start of the boardwalk (even though no stores are up that end of the boards).
I stayed at the motel many years back with my parents when I was a kid and then recently for a mini-​vacation with my friends. As mentioned, there are 2 pools; 1 indoor and 1 outdoor. The indoor pool is not heated (at least not in July), but it was still a tad nippy. The outdoor pool tends to be inundated with kids at times, so best to keep a look out for when they head to dinner or something if you want to quiet time and a splash free zone at the pool.
My only complaint is the beds. They are down right terrible and uncomfortable; it could almost double as a trampoline, that is how springy it is. One night I slept on the floor and it was more comfortable than having springs poking every crevice of my body. The rooms with 2 beds are full size, so make sure you like the person who you will be sharing a bed with, since there isn’t much space. If they update the beds, this could easily be a 5 star place to stay in terms of price and location.
Minus ½ for the increase of noise on a weekend night. Clearly the people in the next room were making use of the trampoline bed and we heard things that you just don’t want to hear.

Don’t let the name fool you. It may be a «motel», but the Flamingo is a solid option to choose if you’re looking into places to stay in Ocean City. We’ve stayed their around 3 times or so and I don’t have too many negative things to say. The place has two pools, one indoor and one outdoor – which is good depending on what kind of mood you’re in. Beyond that, there’s nothing fancy about this place. The rooms are pretty clean and well kept. My favorite thing about the Flamingo? Perfect location. It’s on the east side of Coastal Highway, which is the closest side to the beach and boardwalk. The beach is literally a 2-​minute walk from the Flamingo doors. If you walk a block or two south, you are at the beginning of the boardwalk. The only thing better than this location would be actually booking a room for one of the hotels that is actually on the beach. But if you wanna shell out an extra $ 300 just to be «on the beach», go right ahead. I’ll be chillin at the Flamingo.
