Check in was super easy, the staff was really nice & accommodating, the rooms were nice & had just what you need for a night or two. Super close to the boardwalk without having to start all the way at the convention center & such a chill atmosphere at night.

The renovations on the interior were great. Parking was okay but you can’t expect great parking in wildwood. They had a huge cracked section at the top of the stairs. It was a nice stay. Pretty quiet. If you’re not a fan of smelling smoke, this place is great as it is a non smoking campus. I’m a smoker myself and made sure to do it off property.

Property was as best you could get for the price! Absolutely thrilled with our stay. Pool was still open for Irish Weekend and was heated!! Beds were clean and moderately comfortable. Had a nice tv, table spot to hang jackets and a nice closet space with a microwave and mini fridge. Air conditioner was a bit outdated but kicked ass, keeping the room cold. Bathroom was maybe the only downside: shower was great but the area where the toilet and sink made for an uncomfortable sit, especially if you are on the bigger side. Ceiling also looked a little moldy but I was expecting way worse for a motel. We had quick access to the boardwalk, less than an 5min walk. Had a liquor store across the street. The 2nd floor had some chairs and a grill if you wanted to cook. Management was nice and was quick to respond when we had a personal issue and also let us check in an hour early at no charge. Towels available upon request, easy peasy. They allowed us to park wherever we could find space at either hotel area (The own the Wave hotel next door too). Overall it was an amazing stay and I would definitely go back again!!

Check in staff was rude, and “cash only” deposit that was never discussed. Also said the age minimum was 25 to get a room but said they’d let us in if we paid the deposit. But there was lots of other teens that looked to be there for senior week. Room was generally nice but every pillow and sheet had brown or black stains. Parking lot under the motel only has about 10 spaces so could be a struggle getting a spot later in the day

This hotel was one of the dirtiest I’ve ever stayed in. From the moment I arrived, I was disappointed. The stairs leading up to the rooms were filthy, and the parking lot for this motel was umm not so great let’s just say. When I entered my room, things only got worse. The room was much smaller than advertised, which already felt misleading. Then I noticed my bed sheets had sand in them, and the floor was gritty as well. It was obvious the sheets hadn’t been changed, and the room hadn’t been cleaned properly before my stay. That alone is unacceptable. The worst part was the bathroom—there was an overwhelming amount of mold covering the ceiling. It was so disgusting I almost didn’t want to use it at all. Mold is a serious health hazard, and the fact that the hotel allows guests to stay in those conditions is alarming.
