We just returned from a long weekend stay and we are looking forward to returning! This is our 2nd time staying here and we enjoy our stay each time. The room is spacious and very clean. We had our two children ages 8 and 3 with us and they had a fantastic time playing in the pool!! We stayed in a poolside 1 bedroom suite facing the pool and it was the perfect location!!!

Hotel staff were friendly. Hotel was clean and we felt safe even given the current boardwalk safety concerns. Be prepared to take the stairs, only one elevator and was only willing to wait a few minutes before caving and taking the stairs most times.

Love the fact that there was two rooms here. Pool was large and very clean. Plenty of chairs around the area extremely convenient location about a two minute walk to the boardwalk entrance to the beach is right across the street and as you come off the beach there is a public place to wash yourself off. Parking is tight but show me a motel down here where the parking is not tight. Love the fact that the air-conditioning is entire room nacho stay room air conditioner. Staff was very attentive and we did ask for one thing and they were very quick to respond. Will stay here again.

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 👌

For the price the hotel was worth it only for 1 day. We originally had it for 2 but left a day early because we could not sleep with the awful pillows. Even with 2 or 3, I feel like it wasnt very comfortable. Bed was ok, more on the hard side. The room had a small kitchen which included a microwave and a fridge. The room was a little out dated but clean. They have a cute coffee shop attached and you are right near the beach. I only gave 4 stars because of the bed. I think even if they charged more and updated thier beds, this is where I wouldnt mind spending a weekend away. Also walls were paper thin lol u can hear everything

It’s an aging facility that is very well maintained. Everything was clean. We enjoyed the shuffle board. We had to google the rules. It’s a fun and simple game and I liked that they had it set up on the deck in the shade where we could enjoy being outside in the breeze but without being pummeled by the sun. Really appreciates the family vibe. We asked for no room service during our stay but I was grateful they left a bag of clean replacement towels outside our door.
