This was the perfect no frills place to stay for our family vacation down the shore. Place is older and has nothing fancy but the proximity to the beach with the price point, this hotel was a no-brainer. Parking spots are very narrow and difficult to get into but the front desk clerk was very helpful in getting us overnight parking access. The WiFi was hit or miss and our tv never seemed to work… but this was hardly a deal breaker. Pool was nice as was the balcony seating. We could watch the wildwood fireworks on Friday night. We will definitely we booking again.
The best part is obviously the location a short walk to the most beautiful beach! The ladies in the office were amazing, kind helpful, and very friendly to us. That’s the second best thing. The restaurant on the property was so nice. We basically walked 20 feet to get our meals no hassle at all I would stay again. The maintenance guy was busting his butt trying to keep everything clean. He was also very helpful constantly checking on us to make sure we were satisfied.
Love this place. It is quiet, clean and right on the beach. They had a family reunion which occupied most of the rooms while we stayed the one night, but they were no problem and quiet when they needed to be. ONLY problem is the small space for parking very close to each car on each side of you.
Very clean. Staff was very friendly and professional. Liked being right on the beach. Fridge wasn’t the best but it kept waters cool not cold enough for perishables.

The pictures of this place were very misleading. The room was small. The bathroom was beyond small. The area is safe. Nice walkway to the beach. There’s a pizza shop on the property. All in all we had a good time but those tiny rooms aren’t worth it. If you have to pay over $100.00 for the room just look elsewhere.

Wonderful Wedding Anniversary
My husband and I could not have asked for a better location to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary! We were greeted by friendly staff that made us feel welcome immediately! The room was spacious, clean and updated! We enjoyed having the full kitchen and loved waking up by the ocean! The room was equipped with coffee, utensils, dishes, fresh linens daily, pots for cooking and Webber grill on the patio. It was lovely sitting out on the patio and sipping our morning coffee with an ocean view! We also enjoyed the convenience of Roma’s restaurant right on the premises for milkshakes, breakfast, pizza or midnight snacks since they are open until 2:00am.
Did I mention the heated pool ? I could go on and on… we are definitely going back next year!
This was a spur of the moment family vacation, so options were limited. I’ll be honest; I had very low expectations.
Been coming to Wildwood for the last 4 years and this place is my far the best we’ve stayed at. Room was nice. It was clean. It was sufficient fit the 6 of us. The staff was friendly and helpful. Had good conversations with the one lady at front desk.
As others mentioned, parking tight for larger vehicles and carrying luggage and cooler up 3 flights of narrow stairs was a negative but didn’t ruin the experience.
Overall would stay again.
This hotel is a marvelous remodel and update from times past! You will not lack modern convenience while you enjoy the ability to leave your room and walk directly to the beach.
The kitchenette has all the basics you need as far as pots, pans, dishes, silverware, toaster, and coffeemaker. You only need your ingredients to fill the full size refrigerator. Oven meals can be made ahead of time and reheated in the microwave, as only burners are available.
There is a grocery store (Acme) within a few minutes of the hotel and a Walmart 20 minutes away as well.
The room is spacious and comfortable. There is ample seating available, unlike many other hotels I have visited. The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful.
What is very nice is the beach access. Just beyond the parking lot is a station where you can shower off the sand. You can go full body, waist down, or feet only. There are benches provided to sit and get your shoes on and take a rest from your climb over the dunes. The path over the dunes has a nice boardwalk.
As a disabled woman with mobility issues, this was a minimally accessible hotel if you use a walker, cane, crutches, or forearm crutches. You may manage with a small wheelchair, but I would only suggest it if the person using it is able to transfer independently.
There are no ramps and only one handicapped parking space.
The place was very clean! Of course it had signs of use, not everything is brand new. But that adds to the charm.
Upon arrival, my check-in was easy, & convenient. When I got to the room, I was under the impression that it would have a couch because my reservation stated it slept six however it was just me and my children so I shrugged my shoulders and kept it moving. The owner seemed super helpful. The room had two beds which were reasonably comfortable. The fridge was clean, and the floors were clean. However, when I booked this reservation, I booked three rooms all which should have been Ocean view. Unfortunately, only two of those rooms were actually Ocean view.. when my sister-in-law arrived later that night her room looked to be a makeshift room out of a janitors closet. The floors were a mess. There was dirty laundry in the dresser drawers. The sheets were filthy, when she called the number on the door, the lady and assured her that it would be corrected and taking care of the following morning. Unfortunately, that led to an entirely different situation of her being removed from the premises and threatened with the police when she confronted the owner regarding the ocean view reservation, and the current condition of the room she was put in with her two small children. The three rooms were booked as a group booking through Expedia. The owner stated he was not aware of a group booking and blamed it on a computer algorithm. The best part of this motel is that it is on the beach of Wildwood and it has a great pizzeria located on the first floor oceanfront.
Spent 3 nights here and it was great! The motel is right on the beach. Has a great pool. The staff is very friendly. For the price, it can't be beat! Will definitely book here again.
The only thing going for this motel is its location on the beach. Otherwise it’s dirty, poorly maintained, loud and parking spaces are so narrow your passenger can’t get out of the car.
Our bathroom smelled like mildew and the nozzle to turn on shower was half falling off. The security chain inside the door was broken and there was sand on the sheets, the sheet you lay on.
You people screwed up my booking and the place was literally a ghetto not fit for a dog it was disgustingly gross I left and found another hotel and i was never refunded
