Had a wonderful time at Wilder Inn. Some difficulty finding the property because there was no updated signage. The staff support throughout our stay was excellent! I especially appreciated the 24 hour access to necessities. The simple continental breakfast was great for a quick bite while on the go. Will definitely return to this property in the future!

For the price it’s was good enough to stay at. It was clean, just a little old, that’s all. I believe the new owner said he’s going to start renovating though.

Never saw an employee once. I understand it is now considered off season, but even when it was proper business hours, never saw anyone. Bit odd, the beds were terrible, the pillows were like cardboard. But the cleanliness and location were more than ideal. Overall, still a nice place, but bring your own pillow!
