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.

Unfortunately I can give good rate to this property because the room was dirty. The bed was clean and comfortable. I hope the staff can do better job cleaning the rooms. I don’t feel comfortable giving this rate but I have do write the truth. The tv only has few channels the cable company does not have a lot of options.

Did the job.

Motel is a bit dated, but was priced right for a quick 2 day trip to the shore. Despite a pool right outside our door, it was quiet at night. Very well lite in the courtyard/pool area, which made it a bit tough to sleep at night. Dresser drawers were completely broken and sticking out, so not functional. Blinds were broken. Room was clean, which was most important to us.

I called ahead letting them know I use a wheelchair and they assured me that the hotel was accessible but it is 3 steps to get to get to the first floor and at least a 6 inch ledge in and out of the room itself so we had to stay at a sister hotel with a extra small room and my chair could not fit in the br also same 6 inch ledge into the room. It was hell
