This hotel has a wonderful location a block off the boardwalk and close to food and shopping. It is an older property but clean and everything was in working order. Parking is convenient.

Always a fun time at the Impala Inn. ACs, fridge and pool are well maintained. The housekeeping staff is excellent and the manager Diego is always very friendly. We stay here every year.

It was an excellent choice to stay. Room was clean, but could use a few improvements. The location for my family was very convenient and I would definitely choose to stay again.

We had a great overnight stay. The staff was as helpful and the room was small but all we needed. After spending the day at the beach, the pool was nice too. Free parking and beach tags were a bonus too.
My only gripe is the cost for one night but that was a pretty good rate compared to other places so that just seems the norm for Ocean City. Being on the same block as the boardwalk was great for kids.

Hotel was ok for the price. Room was non-smoking and when we walked in it smelled like a smoking room. Fortunately, I brought Febreze and was able to make the smell a little better. Bathroom was clean, but tile floor was very slippery when getting out of the shower. The whole bathroom was wet from the steam in the shower. Parking was available across the street if the on site lot was full. Hotel was close to the boardwalk and beach.

We really enjoyed staying at the Impala inn
It’s so convenient to get anywhere. Place is clean, but could use some update ! However, I do wish they would change the sheets at least once during our weekly stay . We are coffee drinkers and I think there should be a coffee pot in rooms or have an option for one . We were able to get one but had to buy coffee and all the condiments ! Other wise a good place to stay we will be back !!

The room was nice, glad we were on the first floor, even though it was back in a hallway with no natural light. They have updated the rooms which were nice. The bathroom could use a nightlight since a really loud fan came on any time you turn the light on. Would definitely stay here again!

It was a huge room is very, very friendly guest and Steve. I would recommend this to my anyone. They You give everything you need. The only thing I would recommend is, if you have kids be careful of them logging the top block because the not the key to that is a gentle for your safety and you will have to get a locksmith or a police officer to come and unlock it your kidslock it from the inside; but that’s just how any other dead bolt works,,

Hotel is outdated and could use a reno. One important thing to know: there is no elevator to the 200 level rooms. There is only an elevator to the 500 and 600 level rooms which by the way the hotel is only two floors. Beds were super comfy and we had a sofa. The tv didn’t work and from the sofa you couldn’t watch tv. Not really sure why there was a sofa in the room instead it would’ve been nice to have two chairs and a table. Also, our fridge was in the closet so we couldn’t put our suitcases in there nor could we hang anything up so the layout was just strange in the room, but it was very clean. Staff were very nice. Hotel is right behind back entrance of castaway Cove so perfect location!! Overall 4 stars
