Let me start off by saying that my wife, my stepdaughter, my family, and i vacation here over the summer. My wife and I decided to see what the Flanders were going to offer us. We meet with Lisa and did a walk around the ballroom and garden room. Lisa made us feel so welcomed and explained our options and answered our questions. We immediately booked our destination wedding which occurred on May 23,2026. All our family and friend reside in Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Manhattan, Long Island, and New Jersey. Lisa and Molly began to help us find vendors by providing us with a vendor list. We chose everything from their list, and we were very happy with their vendor list. We booked a block of rooms for our family and friends. Lisa and Molly kept in contact with us the entire time. We went down for a food tasting, and we knew this wedding was going to be amazing. We meet the chef and maître d who will be taking care of us. The food was amazing. The room was set up perfectly. Our cocktail hour was great. There was plenty of staff on hand to make out wedding amazing. Lisa and Molly were both honest, professional, caring, and overall friendly. They answered the million emails I sent them, took my phone calls, and helped us from day one till the ending of our wedding weekend with the brunch. The wedding party went on without any hitches or issues. Our guests spoke about how wonderful and attentive the staff was, how beautiful and clean the ballroom was, how clean the bathrooms were, and how amazing the food was. We had plenty of space for dancing, a photobooth, rolling bar, coffee station, and seating for our guests. The food was served at a good pace and served hot. I did not feel rushed at all. When the night was over, the staff packed everything up for us and transported it to our room. The next morning, we hosted a brunch. The staff was so attentive at the brunch. All the breakfast food was so good. They cleared plates and continued to bring out more breakfast items during the whole time. Lisa was with us on the night of the wedding and at the brunch the next day. I have to say, we were so pleased with Lisa and her staff and the Flanders. If you're looking for a nice, easy going, fun wedding, you need to book here. read more

This place is extremely haunted at night people feels a chill when the Ac is off because they're is a woman spirit in this hotel and a male spirit in this hotel people hear doors slammed and light bulbs unscrewed lights flickering the most haunted floors is the 2nd and 4th floors what got me very disappointed was the restaurant down stairs there was nobody to serve you and sit you down at you table and take your drink and food the host for the restaurant wasn't even there the restaurant definitely deserves a 1 star then hotel isn't a 5 star my room was big and nice it's right next to the boardwalk and stores this place definitely deserves a 5 but the restaurant is a 1 star read more

We had the Perfect event at the Flanders recently from the planning,professionalism,and friendly staff(especially Joanne)who went above and beyond even playing photographer for us! The buffet brunch was on point with a delicious menu executed perfectly. Thank you for making our day so memorable and seamless. Highly recommend for your next function. read more

Attended a Wedding Reception here and can honestly say this was a first class affair. The building is beautiful, well maintained and each room used for the Ceremony and reception was gorgeous. Guest rooms were great and exceeded expectations. Food at the reception was delicious as well as plentiful. All staff we encountered were professional and organized. A special shout out to Joanne who was so helpful and professional in keeping things organized and moving along. She made it look easy. Highly recommended!! read more

We went with a party of eight for Easter brunch and were quite surprised with the food that was served at almost $50.00 a piece. There was nothing that really stood out as exceptional, and I found the carved meats lacking anything more than diner quality. Again nothing was outstanding, although the deserts were good. read more

Beautiful hotel, had a wonderful weekend stay on the 8th floor! Quiet, clean room with kitchenette and separate sitting area. Will definitely book again in the future! read more

We had a perfectly wonderful stay at the Flanders in the winter off-season. Very nice to have the suite layout. Big bedroom, usable kitchen and a nice living room. Everything in the room was super clean and well stocked. The amenities like the pool, the coffee shop and the spa were not open during January but no big deal. Loved walking around the first couple floors of the Flanders. There is plenty of history here. Definitely a nice place. read more

We had the Holiday Tea here last Sunday. I was a bit disappointed. No brewed tea- hot water and tea bags with a very limited selection of teas ( I had Lipton decaf). Food was good; somewhat disappointed in the desserts. But what really got me was the 20% service fee, which included a 15% tip for the wait staff and 5% for linens, glassware, etc. Never heard of that before. But the real kicker is they added the total service fee into the subtotal, and then they calculated the sales tax. So we paid tax on the tip. I complained about this to the manager but she was busy and said she would have their accounting department get back to me. Ridiculous. If the food had been excellent and the tea delicious, I might have overlooked it. But they weren't so I didn't. The venue is very pretty and certainly worth a walk through; skip the tea. read more

I have been to this hotel many times years ago with my family, and always had great experience. I was there in August 2023 with my family we had terrible experience with customers service especially with the front desk manager, James. When I presented a complaint to him, instead of solving the problem, he made me more upset. When my American Express investigated my complaint, James lied about what actually happened. Not only did he violate the American with Disability Act (ADA) by refusing me the right to bring my service dog, I felt disrespected and discriminated by this manager as an elder, as a woman and as an Asian. Plus, the place is not worth the price we paid over $1,100 a night. The furniture was old, it was dirty, the toilet was not work, and the bed was not comfortable. From the bottom of my heart, I will never recommend this place. Date of stay: August 2023 Trip type: Traveled with family read more

Why is this listed here ? It never shows up as a hotel option in any web site or search engine. I don't think it's a hotel with nightly rentals. read more

The hotel was not only in the ideal location, it was exceptionally clean. Every inch of this place was spotless, from the lobby, to the restrooms, to the stairwell, to the hotel suites. It was so lovely having not only a bedroom but a kitchen and living room with dining table. It had old world charm with a super friendly staff. And not to mention the location again, but the location couldn't be better. Wonderful staff. Wonderful stay. Nice heated pool for that rainy day fun. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. read more

Great hotel overall, the guy who checked us in was really nice, they gave us complementary beach passes and some tickets for castaway cove. The hotel shoppes where nice too with many things, the lady's where nice too. The room was great we stayed in 104. And the couch was comfortable and the bed was too. The kitchen was very nice. A great overall experience read more

Last minute getaway...Nice hotel with old world charm all around with great suites. I loved my stay even though it was a rainy weekend. The hotel is connected to the main boardwalk which was a plus. Accommodations for 5 was perfect even on its more economical room; clean and ample space. Very good little coffee shop inside. VERY comfy bed was a huge +++! I would def recommend this little jewel to anyone. Staff was very accommodating and pleasant. Will be back! read more

We stayed here for my daughters wedding. The place is beautiful. Very Victorian feel on the outside but our room was more modern and seashore beach themed with a living room, kitchen, and bedroom. The bridal suite or penthouse (not sure what they called it) where my daughter stayed was incredible with some fantastic views. The only issue was the slow elevator to the penthouse floor. The Flanders did a wonderful job for the wedding and reception. We first had the wedding in a nice room just across from the banquet hall so that made it very convenient for everyone. After the service a cocktail hour was conduced in the main hall outside the banquet room area. The staff was very friendly and the area was well lite. The food was excellent. I kept trying to find the crab cakes and tuna they served. The stations around the hall also had some great food. The banquet room was large and a perfect space for a reception. Again, the food was great. I had the Sea Bass that came with green beans and mashed potatoes. The portion size was perfect given the amount of food was had during the cocktail hour. I was really surprised by the food quality given that they were serving so many people. Also, the presentation was great. The Sea Bass was nice and tender and the sides were also very good. I would highly recommend the Flanders for any event, the food is great, the place is lovely, and the staff is extremely friendly. read more

Comfortable, quiet, roomy suite with great view of ocean, beach and roller coasters. Restaurant had a great breakfast. The shops offer women's clothing, shoes, jewelry, gifts and more. A bit crowded but lots of choices. Staff was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed it so much, we are going back in August. read more

Location, location, location. What a great spot! Located right in the heart of the boardwalk. Walkable to dozens of restaurants. The staff is super friendly, rooms are very clean, and there's always something to do. You can't get bored here! It is pricey, however, such is the case with the location. Definitely worth paying what we paid for this hotel. It has a lot of history and they certainly make use of the space provided for as old as the building is. We booked last minute and took a shot. It didn't disappoint. I loved the parking situation. We were able to park in the lot that borders the hotel. From here, we could quickly grab our sand toys for the kids, chairs for us, and odds and ends and head up to the beach. I noticed a sign about future luxury condos going there?????? I'm not sure how that would have an affect on parking or where we would park. I'll be curious in finding out. I love how it is now. I'll be disappointed if that convenience of parking changes. The only other negative, is a lack of balconies. Only a few rooms have them. It would be nice while at the beach. Over all, excellent experience! read more

Although a bit costly and only allow 2 night stay, the service and rooms are always clean.

I've been going for breakfast every year on vacation at this restaurant. Since Covid the quality of food is subpar and the level of service is deplorable. This year I decided to give their high tea a try. Nowhere on the website does it say you have to call over 24 hours in advance. Every time I called I got a voicemail I messaged them on Facebook no reply. There is nowhere to reserve on the website. They finally called me back to let me know I needed to reserve 24 hours in advance. Thanks for ruining my vacation for today. My nephew sister and mother are very disappointed as well. read more

Great location right off the boardwalk. Room was unfortunately not ready for check in at the specified time. The path to bike parking is absolutely disgusting, filled with garbage, grease traps and cigarette butts. Would expect better attention to detail for the price. read more

We stayed here for our Family Reunion and thoroughly enjoyed the weekend! I was already impressed with this hotel because the family reunion was held here last year; unfortunately we could not attend last year (2018) as my Mother was ill. What impressed me was instead of charging me for the one night stay they reduced the charge when I called to explain what happened. I was so thankful and it really speaks volumes about the character of the management and staff. The room was clean, updated and had everything you need for your stay!! Having never visited Ocean City NJ, I found it very family oriented and I did enjoy it. Mind you, it's nothing like VA Beach or Myrtle Beach in that if you want a "party" atmosphere...not the placeIf you want family friendly and chillin out, awesome. BTW ..BYOB because it's "dry". I hope to come back and will definitely stay at FLANDERS read more

We LOVE The Flanders!!! Gorgeous hotel. We stayed in room 917 for our anniversary this past weekend. Beautiful views from every window! We were able to open the windows and listen to the ocean. Very clean. The lobby is decorated for the holidays and it's just gorgeous! The staff is sweet and helpful. It's right on the boardwalk, and the access to the beach is directly across the boardwalk from The Flanders. Can't wait to come back! read more

Stayed in the Ocean Front Penthouse on the 9th Floor from September 26th through October 2nd with my brother Walter. We had a fantastic time. It is a two-bedroom, three-bathroom suite with a living room, dining room area and fully stocked kitchen. There are 3 balconies with 2 facing the ocean and one facing south to see the bay off to the west. This is our second time to the Flanders Hotel, and we will be returning many more times. The condition of the hotel, the competence of the staff, the excellent food and service in Emily's Restaurant, and the convenient location (just steps to the Boardwalk and beach) all make this an ideal place to stay in Ocean City. read more

What a terrible experience. The room was filthy and this is during COVID. We opened the pull out couch for my son and their were crumbs and a big juice stain on the sheets. Staff is very rude. We had to switch rooms because it wasn't clean, no toilet paper in the room. We told them they brought up one roll. Yes one roll. No top sheet, I wouldn't gift my enemy a trip to this hotel. The food service was so bad we had to leave after the one server got upset after they spilled water on us. For our troubles they gave us some ride tickets and golf tickets as well as a Six PM checkout. They just forgot to tell the front desk we got the boot at 1! The best part of the stay was the check-out. Bye bye Flanders! read more

We have been enjoying summer family vacations at The Flanders hotel for the past twenty years! The location is great, the hotel is charming, and the staff is wonderfully kind and helpful. The lobby is "vintage" and unique. The rooms are a decent size and every time we come here we feel like we're coming home. The pool is large and a welcome finale to a fun day on the beach. We love that the boardwalk and beach are so accessible. Thank you Tiffany, Joanne, and all of the excellent staff for going out of your way to make every stay an enjoyable one. We've made great memories here, and hope to continue the annual tradition for many years to come. read more

They have a crab special on certain nights, they ran out of crabs and then had the nerve to charge me regular meal prices. DO NOT FALL FOR THE ALL YOU CAN EAT SPECIAL. ITS A SCAM! Will never go there again to eat, overpriced, nothing special. read more

This hotel is an experience that needs to be understood through all the sense. Visually, as you enter the hotel they want you to think "1930's." The chandeliers, the furniture, and many other stylings definitely carry a motif from that era. It looks clean for the most part, and it is. Once you get to the suites, it's a different feel-- 1990's shore house. Full sized suites with lots of blue touches, updated counter tops, full kitchens and bathrooms, decently sized bedrooms, and a reasonable living area. TVs are in each bedroom and the living room. Emily's Ocean Restaurant has a 1980's diner look, and the creepy-mint-holding-old-lady statue at the entrance doesn't do it any good. Unfortunately, the place carries a funny odor. It was akin to used kitty litter-- it was not pleasant at all. But, the rooms were cleaned and had a neutral smell. They could improve in this area greatly. So a neat thing about the hotel is that it's on the boardwalk. Very cool, right? Well, it would be if there wasn't an amusement park literally on the other side of the fence. You will hear it, though the windows and walls keep out most of the sound. If you have a room facing the boardwalk, this is your fate. It's not great for people on the first floor, but I bet it looks better on higher floors. The place had an okay feel to it. When I go to the shore, I don't want a posh hotel room. I'm probably staying with friends (a wedding in this case), and I think that the suite set-up is most appropriate. However, they need to get new mattresses (waaaay too soft), and they could clean the couches better (white stains everywhere...gross). Also, the sunrise heats up the first two rooms that it forces you to use the AC like crazy. BUT, the AC for two of the suite rooms is controlled in the room that faces the sunrise-- the person in the second bedroom nearly freezes to death. Beyond that, no complaints. We had rehearsal dinner and the wedding reception there. The food is okay, though they love to serve asparagus and mashed potatoes with their entree. Both could be a lot better, but I guess it's average. The entrees good for the most part, though my girlfriend's rehearsal dinner entree (flounder stuffed with crabmeat) was 1) a gigantic serving, and 2) incredibly salty. The dinner at the reception was sea bass or filet, and both were very good. I didn't taste the physical hotel, but I'm guessing it tastes like salt water and dust, so consider that as you may. Would I go back to the Flanders? Maybe for a wedding, but I don't think I'd go with friends just for a weekend. It was $320 per couple (3 couples per suite) for two nights. I'd rather get a vacation rental through Home Away or VRBO than do that. But, if you're going to be there, don't worry-- it's an alright place. read more

We stayed there for friends' wedding. 5 of us shared a three-bedroom suite on the first floor. It's pretty spacious and has a full kitchen. The suite is right next to the amusement park but you won't hear any noise if you keep the door and windows closed. You can relax on the patio which has a large table with umbrella. There are also lounge chairs. Individual room has its own AC control and TV. The housekeeping service is very attentive and timely. Staff are very friendly. We ate at the Emily dining room for rehearsal dinner. We all enjoyed the food there. The breakfast buffet was just average. The wedding was at one of the big dining halls upstairs. It's a good venue and spacious for 100+ guests. They have a very nice hardwood floor that you can dance on. We certainly enjoyed our stay there. read more

Two major gripes: 1) Two week cancelation policy. Insane. 2) You have to pay for your entire stay upfront. At least they have free parking and the rooms are huge. read more

The Flanders is a historic hotel right on the boardwalk in downtown Ocean City. I didn't stay here but I attended a wedding reception on the second floor. It's a beautiful building. The food was really good. I was a big fan of the raw bar. My only complaint is the layout is a little strange. The dancefloor and DJ were in a separate room from the dinner tables. The bathrooms are also very small for such a large venue. Overall, it's a nice place though. read more

Chose to stay at the Flanders for a family vacation. We are traveling with a newborn and a 3 year old, so we decided to book the 2 bedroom oceanfront suite. Upon arrival we were greeted with someone to help us with our bags which was great. We walked in to slightly outdated but nice enough hotel lobby, where we checked in fast enough (room 712). Once getting to our room, we took a look around and things were mostly clean. The blinds and windows needed a wipe down, and none of the windows were fully closed or locked, but not the worst set up we've seen. The air conditioning worked well, and the pictures were accurate of the space. The kitchenette is small, and large enough of you plan to cook, but we weren't, so it was ok. The room and furniture is slightly dated, and it's probably time for a redecoration. All in all, things were going well enough, and the location was awesome (right off the boardwalk and beach), until we started to go to bed. First, the rooms are right next to the amusement rides, which were loud. I knew this in advance, so was ok with it. The full bedroom had a nice soft but supportive bed, appropriate for any nicer quality hotel. In the King bedroom though, the bed was basically made of concrete. It was rock hard and seem to be very old and worn out! We called down at night after 2 hours of trying to sleep to ask for a bed topper or something, but was told they had nothing. This forced me to sleep with my 3 year old, leaving my wife to try to survive the night. She did but had a stiff back all morning. We asked the front desk again in the morning for help, and all they offered was an egg crate topper. That didn't do anything at all! The Flanders has potential to be a nice hotel, but at $500+ per night if you can't even get a decent nights sleep because of their beds, and they don't try enough to resolve it, might be worth checking out another option nearby. read more

If you're looking for perfection, this is pretty close. The hotel was great, it's accommodations unmatched by the other hotels in Ocean City. It suited my needs, as it provided more than just a room to sleep in, but also a living center- a place to gather after the day outside had ended. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and are decorated beautifully. No dollar is wasted, even in the restaurant, which is usually lacking in a hotel, but here is a great place for breakfast, as it has friendly servers and a great menu. The only reason this place doesn't get the fifth star is because of the cleaning staff, which, while cleaning in a satisfactory way, gets in your way at times and can clean at irregular times. If you are looking for a quality stay right on the boardwalk, this is definitely a place that you would enjoy. read more

Vacationer Beware! Our summer vacation was spoiled last week when my son in law was billed for his stay after I paid for it. We are a week out from the billing snafu and it STILL is not resolved! I stood at the desk while the manager , Dorothy, told her staff to credit back my sons credit card. No, it still is not done. This is a big deal to a young family on their summer vacation who did not plan on this expense being put on their credit card. It is an embarrassment to me, as I told them it was taken care of. Yes, I did pay for it. Their staff is either inexperienced or just plain ignorant with accounting. Also, no television in 603 as they could not get service for a non functioning cable service. After a afternoon of a beeping fire alarm, it was finally disabled so we could sleep. Then the carbon monoxide detector started beeping. read more

Such an amazing experience and great place to stay. The Flanders is a staple in OC. It is the same place my parents knew from their summers at the shore lifeguarding/waitressing and going to see shows over in Somers Point at Tony Marts. It is an experience. I first went to the Flanders with my Grandfather for high tea about 23 years ago. I thought it was the coolest place around (we all know SS on 31st is) "with the triangle sandwiches with no crust" and the "personal desserts".... Now jump from 1990 to 2014 which is when The Flanders became the place I would say "I do". The service was impeccable. They have a new chef who is younger, excited about his job, and you can taste it. Karen, the wedding coordinator made sure it went off without any issues. They just put new hardwood floors down in the smaller ballroom making it the biggest dance floor of any wedding we have attended recently. As for going over the top, they let me bring a surrey into the hotel so we could ride into the ballroom when being announced as husband and wife. The rooms were amazing and on Friday, it looked over the rides and the pool but I could not hear a thing and this was the weekend of July 26th. We got married on the beach (same weekend as Night In Venice) but the people were so nice, no one was obnoxious, the Flanders staff had everything set up perfectly and on time (unlike our reverend), and having the dining room and dance room separate turned out to be better than I could have imagined. Everyone danced all night and the transition from dinner to the dance floor was seamless. Filet and Crab Cakes were unbelievable. And not just because it was my wedding. Hors d'oeuvres were great even though I didn't get to eat many. Side note: Being a dry town, our guests who were not staying over needed a cab home because Circle Liquor brought in so much booze and whatever we didn't open, they picked up and didn't charge us for it. Superb customer service on all levels. Beach wedding was great (she said yes), hotel was awesome, rooms were amazing and big. The people who work there really take an interest in you having a great experience because from what I saw, they love their jobs. My Grandfather couldn't make it to try the fillet rather than the "triangle sandwiches with no crust" but my 90 year old Grandmother cut up a rug and was teaching people how to dougie! It was nostalgic! Highly recommend staying for a weekend or having your wedding there. read more

I recently had my wedding rehearsal and wedding at the Flanders and couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience. Karen and her staff were very professional and accommodating and made the whole process very worry free. They took care of all aspects of the wedding. We had our ceremony on the beach which was beautifully decorated and set up. The reception that followed was beyond my expectations. the hall of mirrors and the ballroom were breathtaking. Aside from the beautiful atmosphere, the food was phenomenal. We had a lot of self made "food critics" invited to our wedding, including ourselves, and people couldn't stop raving about how good the cocktail hour and dinner was. Thank you to Karen and the Flanders staff for making my wedding day truly memorable. read more
