Top Wilder Beach Hotel Reviews

Casablanca On The Beach

Casablanca On The Beach

8/10 Good
"We had a partial view of the beach, which was great. There was a shared patio, which we didn’t mind. The walk to the beach, wharf, boardwalk, and restaurants was very convenient. The room was quaint. We did notice the floors and some of the furniture were collecting dust. The closet space was awkward because the mini fridge and the microwave were also inside taking up space, so our clothes weren’t able to hang freely. Probably not the best place for that. Especially, the microwave because heating up food can potentially smell your hung clothing. Overall, the stay was comfortable and the customer service was great. They got my room ready for an early check-in, which I appreciated very much. It was the perfect, affordable vacation stay for my family. Favorite part, was definitely the location. The grocery store (Trader Joe’s or Safeway) is only a 5-7 minute drive. We would stay there again and just request for the room to be cleaned more thoroughly. "
