Travelers love to travel, that’s why they do it. They also love a clean comfortable stay with their loved ones. It’s part of the whole travel experience. To be able to enjoy a region and it’s attractions while experiencing the comforts of home with the luxuries and wonder that a hotel property provides. And that includes everything from crisp pillow cases to an inviting lobby to a clean private oceanfront balcony to the accommodating in house restaurant to the manicured guarded beach. AND everything in between!
And it’s safe to say that our staff loves travelers. Three of our properties were just awarded the AAA’s ‘Inspector’s Best Of Housekeeping for 2020 Award.’ The Holiday Inn & Suites on 17th Street, the Hilton Suites on 32nd Street, and the DoubleTree by Hilton on 33rd Street were all recently awarded this highly sought after designation.
Every AAA Inspected & Approved hotel must meet expected standards of cleanliness and condition scores to receive a Diamond Rating, but these properties that were awarded the Inspector’s Best of Housekeeping designation significantly surpassed all expectations of the inspector.
These properties, as a whole, received a comprehensive, on-site inspection that reflect a very high standard. The inspector was looking for evidence of dirt, dust, pests, equipment performance and more. Basically, the whole property is inspected, as a whole, from the parking lot to the outdoor pool and everything in between. All staff has to be involved and must work as a team at 100% to achieve this status.
To earn the Inspector’s Best of Housekeeping award, properties must demonstrate housekeeping excellence for two consecutive inspections and be free of AAA member complaints. So we’d like to pay our hotel staffs the highest congratulations! Keep up the great work, the travelers love you!
With everyone spending more time at home we thought we’d share recipes from some of our restaurants most popular dishes. This week’s entry into the cookbook is from Marlin Moon’s Chef Gary Beach’s own sister’s recipe: ‘Sista’s Shrimp & Grits.’ We’re sensing a family theme here : )
Also in the cookbook is Harrison’s Harbor Watch’s Clams Casino, Gary Beach’s (of Marlin Moon) ‘Mom’s Shrimp’ and The Caribbean Pool Bar’s Banana Cabana (think rum). Please check back to catch all the ...read more

The cherubic winged infant pulls a love arrow from the quiver and draws back the bow, ready and aimed at you. But you’re gone and no longer in the crosshairs because you don’t need to wait for the cupid’s arrow to strike to come to your senses.
As far as big romantic gestures go, cards, chocolate, and flowers are certainly very common ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Not to lessen the sentimental value those things (who doesn’t love chocolate and flowers?), but getting to watch ...read more
Imagine giving up 55% of something that you’ve earned. Your paycheck, your house, your food, or anything else that you have worked hard to earn. Sounds crazy, right?

That adds up to 768 million vacation days unused with an average of $571 of donated work time per person.

These amazing photographs come to us courtesy of Heather P. Shreve; author, historian, screenwriter, and great great granddaughter of Rosalie Tilghman Shreve, who build and owned the Plimhimmon Hotel in the late 1800s. It was the third hotel on Ocean City’s beachfront and would much later come to be known what we today call the Plim Plaza.
I know what you’re thinking. It’s a suspicious headline coming from a website that wants you to venture to the beach. But have we ever lead you astray, reader? Has science? The notion that nature has a therapeutic effect is not a new one. In fact, back in the 18th century, Victorians were commonly prescribed trips to the shore to alleviate certain pains. What is it about the beach that’s so beneficial to our mental and emotional well-being, anyway?
When it comes to why, ...read more
