This hotel is in my top 5 in wildwood. The location is great. The customer service was great. Soon as I walked in I felt comfortable. The pool area was clean and quiet. I mean there’s really nothing bad to say about the establishment. I’d definitely stay again. The price was reasonable as well. Looking forward to coming back soon. Thanks for a great time.

Staff was friendly. Room was clean with a slightly leaky sink but easy to fix with an extra tight turn. Got annoyed about kids screaming and jumping in the pool around 1am and no one to call or enforce a noise complaint

I have stayed in Wildwood before....but I must say this location....stole my heart. This location was close enough to beach but also away from the crowd......you are literally at the start of the boardwalk Across the street.... Is a cool ice cream spot..... Don't forget the coupon for that cone ..... Local tourism coupon books are heavily stocked in the entry foyer....you can BOB it....Beach On Budget.....truly gave me and my family that nostalgic Jersey Shore feel

Good shower! We were very comfortable. The decor is very happy and cheerful! I could have used an extension cord for one lamp in my room. Beds were comfy! Staff very responsive! Would stay again.
