Comfortable and adequately priced.
For 1 night at the beach, while passing through town, this place is perfect. The air conditioning was stellar and the room was clean and comfortable.

Great little getaway
We booked a last minute room here and had a wonderful visit to Ocean City. The Lankford is in a great location, with a great ocean view from the rocking chair communal porch, and from our room window. The room is a little small, but plenty of room for sleeping. There is also a fridge (but no coffee maker or microwave) The coffee shop downstairs had a delicious bagel sandwich that we purchased for breakfast. Brian at the front desk was very friendly and helpful.

Pleasant and quaint
The hotel has a great location on the boardwalk. We could easily walk either end and find great restaurants. It is an older hotel so don’t expect all the modern amenities as the chain hotels. It was a nice place otherwise.

Fun Family trip
The hotel is great! The staff is super-friendly! My family & I stayed here for a week & we loved it. The only little complaint I had is that the mattress on the bed my wife & I slept on must had been very old. There was no give in the middle & we felt like we were falling into each other LOL!

Older Charm
The Lankford is in a prime location and the staff is excellent (friendly, eager to assist, and pleasant). The hotel is older and the linens were past due for retirement but the atmosphere, amenities (we had a full kitchen and a real fridge), location and staff made this stay a real winner.

Lankford Hotel (DO NOT RECOMMEND IT)
The hotel condition is terrible, the room furniture is outdated. The room was not cleaned.
Do not stay in this hotel. More better hotels are available in the area.

We'll be back
This was a quick vaca just to get out the house and to the beach. The check in was fast. I didn't realize that it was a $250 hold once checkin, so be prepared. The room was clean and cold. The bathroom was clean. We only used the room to sleep and it was actually what we needed and right on the boardwalk!
