"Much needed stay during a power outage"

After several days without power, we contacted the Holiday Inn Express in West Ocean City and thankful a room was available. The hot shower and warm bed were refreshing and the hot breakfast a welcome way to start the day. Overall it was comfortable. We are very grateful for the hospitality and I wish I had names of the staff who helped us check in.
