There was no staff only a note on the door to call a number. The person on the phone said my room key was in the mailbox. I booked a 2 bedroom and the room was a 1 BR. I called again and they said a room is available on the 1st floor and is open so just go in. The room was used by the night clerk and had a door to the office. It was dirty and had dirty clothes in it. I called and said I was not staying and requested a refund. They said no refund. I left and stayed in another hotel. I disputed the charge with my credit card company.

Nice place very close to the boardwalk. The owner was very professional and helpful too. The only drawbacks is that there is no pool and it's a bit of a walk to the boardwalk shops in Wildwood. Otherwise, a good place to stay there and reasonably priced.

One night stay in South Wildwood for Boots at the Beach. The desk clerk checked us in and directed us across the street to park. The hotel did cover the fee for 24hours. Parking on site was for guests staying more than one night. Room was standard.

Outdated but clean

Yes the decor is outdated, however service was great. Aj went above a beyond. The rooms were clean, and it was very peaceful especially after being around people all day long. I would book again.

Clean and quiet room.

The room was clean and quiet, and I slept extremely well. It hasn’t been updated in awhile. If that doesn’t bother you, then this is the perfect place.

Close to shore but that’s the only good point

For a motel charging $200/night some of the lights didn’t work, the hot water in the bathroom didn’t work when we got there, the tv just played a country music station and nothing else. Was fairly clean but will definitely not be coming back.

Needs A LOT of attention

AJ is great. 100% awesome human. Room 102 needs some love. The blinds are missing a piece... so when you're in the room at night with the one and only light on, you can see in the room. The overall appearance is just dirty and dingy. I actually felt horrible staying there with my son. The hotel needs to be updated...A LOT.

Old but does the trick.

If you are simply looking for a bed to lay your weery head this is the perfect place. If you're looking for a luxurious stay its not here. This is your run of the mill 1960's motel (still has that design). The room had a mussty smell unpon entry, nothing turning on the AC and cooling it down didnt fix. The floors were gritty with sand but it visually appeared clean. It had two queen beds a nightstand between them with a fan on it. Behind the door is a mini frig, microwave and a coffee pot. Upon waking in the morning to make coffee I saw the coffee pot had not been cleaned from a prior vistor, that did not get used. Gross! The pillows are crap, no fluff at all, bed is okay the first night there after not so okay. The bathroom is small and dated. But it has hot water, plenty of towels too. No signs of bed bugs. There were stains on the sheets, no one can promise to get everything out of a whits sheet. The tv wouldnt work at first we had to have the desk attendent come and get it going, that took him ainute but he got it. Again, its a room with 2 beds a bathroom with a sink and shower. You have a mini frig and a place to crash after a long day on the beach and boards + you got a shower and a place for cold beers!

We arrived at the RussMar Hotel shortly after 5pm. Apparently that was "late", so the staff left a voicemail and our entry key in the outside mailbox. I had to call to get a wifi password; they had to text it to me because I could not understand the verbal response. On the plus side, the bed and bath were clean, but the floor was sandy and greasy. Checkout the next morning: No one in the office at 8:00am. I called the number posted on the door to find out no staff would be on site until 9:00. We left the key in the mailbox, hoping for the best, and assumed that the staff had charged our credit card for the night's stay. Yes, late September is off season, but either open a properly staffed and clean hotel, or shut it down for the winter.

I arrived at 8:15 PM to find a sign in the door to call the phone number. The person on the phone directed me to reach into a mailbox and pull out a room number key of which there were several and I said I could not find the number sheet Dictated to me. She told me to grab a different number of which there were multiple keys for that room I inquired is it safe to have an extra set of keys outside and was told yes nobody will come in. Face-to-face interaction is necessary.

This is a very low rent property, but that is what was expected. If you want any sort of amenities or even a pleasant-looking looking a feeling room, this is not the place. It was clean and in a good location. As more than a bed it is not the place for you. As just a bed to sleep in it is what it is. It is a one to two start hotel, but I will say it was clean, which a lot are not.

When we booked the room here on Expedia, there were pictures that showed the room. When we got to the room… it looked like a dirty rundown version with no window like in the pictures. There were only three pillows and one of them shouldn’t even have counted as a pillow. We had to have room service come to our room to clean the tables down and change the sheets because they were dirty and even after she cleaned, one of the tables was still sticky. I feel like this place could have been such a good experience but we did book last minute, maybe that’s why there was so many complications. You get a kitchenette with the room which is nice. The motel is located a bit after the convention center, across the street from the bike rental spot so you do have to walk a bit to the main stuff on the Boardwalk.
