Scarborough Inn

Scarborough Inn is Ocean City's oldest hotel. It's also Ocean City's oldest B&B. It was recently renovated with fresh Jazz Age interiors, while staying true to the inn's Victorian roots. Step back in time with us. When you hear 1920s music playing on the porch, you know you're at the right place. Our innkeeper, Sne Avichal, was raised on these barrier islands and is ready to share his love of South Jersey beach culture with you through all four seasons. Kick back in a rocker with a glass of lemonade after a hot day at the beach, or gather round the fireplace with us after exploring the Christmas-perfect Historic Downtown. Hot breakfast, bottomless drinks, and endless conversations await at one of the few year-round hotels open on this time capsule of a family-friendly town.

Beach, easy breezy

Reviewed By JoZi4

The Scarborough Inn is updated & spotlessly clean, just a short walk to the beach. The truly devoted InnKeeper Sne is a local and interested in making your visit so pleasant you can’t help but return. Be sure to like his Panama hat. From rocking chairs on the porch to snacks galore and breakfast in the morning, it’s a lovely place to stay.

My husband set-up a 4 night stay here for my birthday. The rooms were spotless, the staff extremely helpful. Especially Seth at the front desk, and the servers in the restaurant - esp. Curri. The location is right on the boardwalk with easy access to shops and the beach.

Quick weekend getaway

Reviewed By tinacaro

We had a nice time here. It poured the entire weekend, so we were pleased with the covered parking and the indoor pool. The pool was small and packed on Saturday, but nice to have. The hot tub was closed and taped off. The hotel provided towels. The walls were very thin. There was a family in the 2 rooms next to us. We could hear the screaming, cursing, and door slamming clearly. The desk moved us to another room on the 5th floor with no issue. They said it was easier to move us than to talk to the people making the noise. The rooms look like privately owned suites. The 2nd room was much nicer than the first. The hotel is dated but otherwise was a nice weekend stay.

Very cozy, great location

Reviewed By michaelsQ8220UJ

Nice cozy place to stay in Ocean City. It's very close to the beach and also close to downtown area. Excellent location. We stayed in a suite and it was a nice sized room. It's an older building with an early 1900s feel. There is a balcony you can sit on facing the ocean, although not right on the ocean. Staff was very friendly. They have a pool but I didn't look for it or go in because weather was still too cool and it was too early in the season. One parking space per room, but free street parking isn't too hard to find, at least not the time I went.

A return visit!

Reviewed By generalnansi

My husband & I visited Atlantis Inn several years ago and decided to return over the Memorial Day weekend. Happily, the Inn is still being lovingly cared for and is still beautiful. The inviting breakfast room with hot water for tea (my personal favorite) and a delicious breakfast for both days of our stay was much appreciated. We stayed in suite 12 with a king bed and a wonderful state of the art shower with plenty of jets and also a hand held wand. This location was perfect for us since steps are limited to entering the Inn. The location is perfectly situated in the heart of Ocean City right where the action is. It was nice to return to a familiar place and see that it is well cared for. We will be returning again soon!!

Wonderful time

Reviewed By H3137FQkateb

Booked this hotel completely last minute expecting very little and was delightfully surprised. If you have ever stayed at the Jersey shore you know how many small nonchain hotels run and what to expect. Based on that this place was lovely. Great porch and friendly staff. Plenty clean. Only reason this isn’t a five star is that I wish the pool were bigger but my kids didn’t mind at all!

I would recommend

Reviewed By 1963Christine0521

We spent 10 days here (just checked out this morning). The hotel is a block from the beach and boardwalk (entrance where Manco Manco pizza is). My husband and I came with our dog. I felt very comfortable leaving the dog here alone (this was an important criteria). Also the rooms are very clean, and they practice good covid cleaning requirements. Most hotels that allow dogs always smell like dogs, but the room we stayed in here did not. Parking was a little tricky but there is an overflow parking across the street. In short, it’s not a “luxurious” motel, but it is simple, clean, and great location. We will stay here again next year!
