Good shower! We were very comfortable. The decor is very happy and cheerful! I could have used an extension cord for one lamp in my room. Beds were comfy! Staff very responsive! Would stay again.

I have stayed in Wildwood before....but I must say this location....stole my heart. This location was close enough to beach but also away from the crowd......you are literally at the start of the boardwalk Across the street.... Is a cool ice cream spot..... Don't forget the coupon for that cone ..... Local tourism coupon books are heavily stocked in the entry foyer....you can BOB it....Beach On Budget.....truly gave me and my family that nostalgic Jersey Shore feel

The property was clean and the suite was cleaned as well. The office staff was super nice. Walking distance to the Beach and boardwalk.
Valerie, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

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
Jenna, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Room was outdated. The bathroom sink dripped. The toilet needheed to be replaced. The blinds didn't work . The light outside the room shined right into our room. The outside area was not very clean.

2-night trip

8/10 Good

Stayed 5 nights with family. The area around the motel is very good. 10 minute walk to the beach and the boardwalk. Parking was a bit difficult on the property even though they say they have enough spots to accommodate everyone. Housekeeping services were almost nil. You have to request for housekeeping 24 hours beforehand and even though we did, we still had no housekeeping services the day after so we had to get our own towels and make our own beds that day. Front desk staff are very friendly and accommodating which made the rest of the experience a bit more tolerable. Not the quietest either. Understandably it’s a family motel but even so we had to ask some guests to keep it down at 1 am because they were sitting outside having a mini party. Overall it’s a budget friendly option if you’re visiting wildwood but moving forward, I will try to find something else in the same area that’s a bit newer and cleaner than this motel. Would recommend if you’re on a budget but I will not be returning.
David, 5-night trip

It was a nice quiet clean place.
4-night trip

4/10 Poor

The rooms were clean and decent, but definitely not what I expected based on the photos online. Our room had broken/missing blinds, and the dresser was in poor condition — one drawer had been screwed shut and another was broken and hanging off. On the positive side, the beds were clean, and the staff was generally friendly. However, the property overall felt more worn down than advertised. Parking was also a major issue. One night we returned from the boardwalk and couldn’t find any parking. After circling the building several times, I stopped at the office where an employee outside smoking became frustrated when I asked about it. He eventually directed me to park in an alley after moving a dumpster, but since it was marked “no parking,” I ended up waking up early the next morning to move my car out of fear it would be towed. If you’re just looking for a no-frills place close to the boardwalk and beach, it works. But if you want something more comfortable and truer to the photos, it may be worth spending a little extra on another hotel nearby.
Ken, 3-night trip
