This is a hidden gem. The convenience is unmatched, as is the service. Everyone from the staff were exceptional. We loved our stay and will definitely return.

The Forum has been remodeled inside the room and the exterior of the buildings. Extensive upgrade from when we stayed there over the last 40 years.

The price is high but competitive for the area and includes a very nice room. Everything is over priced in Ocean City NJ. Worth the trip to Ocean City MD.

The room was very clean and updated . Pool area was very nice

The decor was modern and the room and entire hotel was exceptionally clean!! We sought out the maid each day to make sure she got our tip. The beds were so comfortable and the shower was even better than my shower at home. The desk clerks were helpful and friendly. We especially thought Justin took the time to help with every detail including best local restaurants, etc. The location was perfect for easy access to the boardwalk!

The blinds did not block out all the street Light due to oversized window. The window was great for looking out during the day, but too huge for the window treatment to properly block out the street light..

The Forum was a great choice! I looked at several places to stay in OCNJ and decided on The Forum. My biggest reason were the positive reviews for cleanliness and the reviews were very accurate! The morning of our stay I received a text to verify that I was over 25 and some other details (by the way this checked another box on my list, because I didn't want to stay where there were a bunch of kids partying). Digitally signed the document and when we arrived the only thing I had to do was head to the office to show ID. Check-in is not until 4 but, I was told that the room should be ready no later than 3 and they confirmed my cell number and told me I would receive a text that the room was ready and the door unlock code. At 2:50 I received a text that the room was ready. Some reviewers of other locations said the pics on the website did not reflect the room they were getting but, the room I received matched perfectly! I took pics as soon as I was inside so the room looks like the pics minus the bag on the bed. The room was clean and there were plenty of towels. The pool was great! It was very clean and there was more than enough lounge chairs and umbrellas. The Forum is about 1.5 blocks from the boardwalk so all I had to do is park and I could walk to the boardwalk or the shops on Asbury. Even though this is a kid friendly place you could not hear the kids outside or above you for that matter. The beds were comfortable, the water was hot and had very good water pressure. Had a great walk in shower. The rooms were modern. There was a big screen TV in the room and although I didn't need wifi the signal was strong anywhere around the property. As far as parking goes it can be a little tight but, they have an overflow lot which we used that was right across the street from the hotel and it was safe and secure. Some other places I looked at had you parking your car 3 blocks away or, charged you $15.00 to $25.00 a day to park.

The whole facility seems renovated well. There are some old comments saying nothing works or furniture is missing however, fortunately for us this was not the case. We stayed on the first floor in Room 121 and it was clean with everything looking new. All amenities are included (soap, shampoo, towels, hairdryer, microwave, mini fridge.) The room was the perfect distance to our car and their pool. The pool is gated, good size from 3ft deep to 7ft (more or less) deep. There is also a small and separate 1ft splash pool next to the main pool. But the color of that water was yellow and looked pretty dirty. Think twice about going in there. We also appreciated the daily "entertainment" during our stay. One day had Rudy from Lucky Duck Entertainment making balloon animals for kids for a few hours. The next day there was a musician but we just missed him as came back from the boardwalk. Distance to boardwalk was also a big plus - 1 long block distance. We were really happy with this establishment and will certainly come back! Front desk is also very friendly and communicates with you through text (entertainment updates, room requests, etc.) Thank you Anisha!!

Not much to dislike about this resort, but if I had to nitpick - Parking lot is set up so if a car is parked behind you then youre SOL. Hopefully the family behind you left their keys with front desk. This was never an issue for us, but I had some anxiety about it. Their door lock key system is an electronic keypad which isnt as fluid as the traditional keycard system. I'm not opposed to this system, but if it aint broke...

Close to every thing and the room was nice. Kids loved the pool

The people were not the nicest. For instance, i just left ocmd and people treated you like a person and not just $. I felt multiple time in ocmd that the people would try everything they could to help. Here not so much. No breaks were cut even for a 30 minute later check out or beach tags kept a tad longer due to us checking in later. (rooms were close to $500 for a night so i expected better) The tags were given to us later after basically begging and then i was lectured as i brought them back. (even though the desk had plenty of tags sitting there. You dont have to be a rude when something hurt nothing). Especially for the money spent!

great location, clean/modern rooms, pool

-Staff stated at check-in that they don’t honor ‘requests through third parties’ (eg; through booking.com). So our request for an upper floor (made on booking.com) was not honored. -‘stacked parking’ (for some of the parking spots) was not mentioned until after booking. Wouldn’t be a concern, except there was no one at the front desk from 9am-9pm during our weekend there

Clean and nicely decorated. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Nice pool. It was only a block and a half from the beach. Bike rental right next door. Close to entertainment and food.

The air conditioning in the room although working seemed to be struggling to keep the room cool.

They newly updated the rooms. Very comfortable and clean

They installed a sliding door to bathroom area. Door did not slide well, very heavy to pull, no handle on bathroom side so you need another person on opposite side to help you open door to get out of bathroom. Need to rethink door option
