After you've explored the Inner Harbor, caught a race at the Preakness, toured the state capital of Annapolis and ridden a water taxi, you may wonder what a night in Maryland offers. If you're staying at one of the state's hotels, you may be able to just exit your room and step into a nightclub, offering everything from live local bands to quiet, relaxing cocktails. Hotel nightclubs in Maryland vary as much as the hotels themselves; find one and "check in."
After a day on Ocean City's wide beaches, fill your evening with a visit to the Seacrets hotel resort night club. Housed next to the Seacrets Hotel (hotel guests receive free admission to the club), the Seacrets nightclub offers tropical themed drinking, dancing and entertainment with outdoor sandy patios, palm trees and nightly specials. The club is open from 11 a.m. to late night, featuring local bands, large name groups and a full food menu, including jerk chicken, Jamaican fries and little neck clams. Seacrets offers a full bar of beers, wine and specialty drinks, such as the Pain In De Ass, Seacret Sunset, Dirty Banana and Jamaican Bobslide.
The Seacrets Hotel offers 12 rooms, with either a bay or street view. Rooms (all non-smoking) include a full kitchen with stove, toaster, refrigerator and cooking utensils. Walk directly from the hotel to the Ocean City beach. No Internet access is available and no pets are allowed.
