Great family place. Very clean. Pool and games around the pool, grill area all were excellent. Being able to bring our little furry family member plus. It’s a good 20 Minute walk to the boardwalk so we did use Uber ($15 for 6 ppl). acme is across the street Super convenient to cook meals on the grill. In room coffee was lacking but Starbucks 4 blocks away while we walked the fur baby. Overall bare bones place, but got the job done with lots of laughs for all

We had a great stay at this hotel. The room was very clean when we checked in. Normally I do my own cleaning when I get to a hotel, but I was so pleased not to have to do it when we arrived. We were happy to bring our dog with us. They even provided a dog treat and collapsible bowl! The staff was very accommodating and nice. Anything we needed, they helped with. The outside area was great! There was a nicely sized sandbox and pool with a hot tub. There was a supply of pool toys and floats. Some were broken but I thought that was so nice of them to have them available to use. Parking was tight with a larger vehicle, but we were able to find street parking near the hotel easily.

I’ve been going to Wildwood for many years and stayed at a lot of motels there. This is my second time at this motel. The staff is very friendly and helpful so much more than any place I’ve stayed. The morning of my arrival they called me to find out when we’re arriving so they could get our room ready. We arrived hours prior to check in and only waited a few minutes for the room. I haven’t had any 5 star hotels do that! The few people who work there are constantly cleaning and straightening up that it’s very obvious they go above and beyond to keep the place tidy. The motels there that accept pets are not nearly as neat and clean as this place. Actually any place I’ve stayed there. The place is a walkable mile to the boardwalk but right next to the liquor store, Acme food store, pharmacies and McDonald’s. If you are looking for a quiet, clean and friendly place a bit away from the noise of the boardwalk area and close to stores, this is it.

This motel is located in a nice area in Wildwood. There are lots of food options located within walking distance of it. The staff were very friendly and welcoming during our stay. The pool and hot tub were clean and lots of games to play by the pool. The room was clean and while it was only my gf and I it could definitely accommodate a small family.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
This was a last minute, last resort situation to book this motel, and it was a waste of money. The facilities were dirty (ash trays full of butts, yet there’s supposed to be no smoking outside of rooms, cat food on the ground), the beds were incredibly uncomfortable we could feel the metal through them, and the walls are paper thin (we could hear the neighbor, which seemed like a long-term tenant, using metal utensils in their dishes and their tv on all night that’s how thin the walls were). It was a horrible nights sleep and so not worth the price. Maybe things are different during the summer season, but I can’t see how they could improve that much. Would never, ever stay here again; I’d rather sleep in my car.

The area is unique. Its beginning to get built up and renovated. This property is an original, and I must say, its in better condition, is clean inside rooms, and the managers office is friendly, co.pared to others in the area. Its only March and it is the off season but when ithe town opens up soon, this place will definitely be happening.
