"This place in a gem. Property location, service and cleanliness were wonderful. Front staff (the face of the place) were wonderful. Booked for July 2027 because I had such a great experience. Only downside was a little sand still on the floor on arrival and someone's shirt tag on the floor by the dresser. I'm a stickler for little details but it was nothing to formally complain about. I hope you come experience Wildwood at this location. It's worth it 👌"

"The room was better than expected. A bedroom with two beds separated from a living room. The bedroom did not have a separate air conditioner however, which made the choice between staying cool or staying private mutually exclusive. Full size fully stocked kitchen was a nice amenity. Room was on the older side, but clean enough. Do wish the bedroom had room darkening curtains as the lights outside were bright. Would stay again for the rate was right for a small family traveling on a budget."
