What guests think

Across reviews, Monaco Motel - Wildwood Beach & Boardwalk wins praise for its walk-to-the-boardwalk location and low-frills value, but many guests report very dated rooms with small bathrooms, recurring maintenance issues, limited and awkward parking, and disruptive noise at night.

Cleanliness feedback is mixed, ranging from clean rooms to reports of dirty areas, pests, and worn furnishings. Service is inconsistent: some highlight friendly, helpful staff, while others describe absent or unresponsive front desk and billing or refund disputes. Best suited for travelers prioritizing proximity over modern comforts.

The receptionist left the counter and locked the door leaving multiple people outside to wait for 20-30 minutes. When i went to check in, they attempted to charge me $10 to park at the hotel after i just paid 150 dollars . The room was a dump, with the panels leading to the shower pipes hanging open, the door to the room had a nice gap in it so i got to hear the drunks all night, the hot water didnt work, the table was COVERED IN ANIMAL HAIR and to top it all off there were dead bugs ON TOP OF "CLEAN SHEETS" I have pictures of a bug and the condition of the room. I will never stay in this hotel again and i wouldnt advise anyone else stay unless its the hotel paying them too for the trouble.

Extremely noisy late at night. No elevator. Thin walls, can hear TV and people talking in next room. Tiny bathroom. Can see outside next to wall air unit due to poor insulation. Terrible parking and have to leave key. Positive - friendly staff, very close to boardwalk.

Definition of dont judge a book by its cover. Outside, looks suspect. Trash laying about, smell of weed everywhere. Inside, cool AC, comfy beds, clean sheets, TV worked, good water pressure, hot water, fridge cold. Parking lot is tiny, but they allow use of additional lot. Its a $100-$150 room in the summer. Get what u pay for. Ive been in alot worse. Front desk girl was very nice.

By far the worst hotel I’ve stayed at. Sink was falling off the wall. Toilet wouldn’t flush unless you were sitting on it. Tiles were missing on the bathroom wall. The beds were both taco’d in the center. The main door wouldn’t lock on the dead bolt. I also did not give my keys to the hotel to have access to my vehicle, thought it was a bad idea then. Still think it’s a bad idea. So have fun paying 25$ to park overnight across the street.

The staff were very nice people, but the building is old, with a very narrow set of stairs to the 2nd floor covered in semi-loose carpet that can make you trip. The door only had the door knob lock (the deadbolt was painted over and the key didn't work) and the safety latch was missing the part that attaches to the door). Stained mattress, tiny bathroom, scratched up, cheap, unmatched furniture, and garbage on display in front of the extremely limited parking. No in-room phone, only 1 lamp for the entire room, no 24-hour staff (office closes at 11pm). I won't stay here again.

Perfect location! Walk right onto the boardwalk. Our tv did not work. Very disappointing to not be able to watch tv. Doorknobs are falling off. Sheets and towels were clean, but floors and walls were dirty. Didn't sew any alarming bugs, just some gnats. Needs renovations but still not too bad for the price we paid.

The staff was very nice and friendly. The building is old and needs repair. The room is more like a dorm…painted cinder block walls and ceiling. Room was extremely drafty…major air leaks around the door. Also, we could hear our neighbors tv and conversations. The money for the room is mostly for the location.

One of the worst experiences I’ve ever had staying at a hotel, first thing is this hotel looks like it hasn’t been updated since the 1970’s. I stayed two nights because I couldn’t get a refund from the hotel, I took only one shower because it took nearly 24 hours for the tub to drain after the only shower. The bed seemed to be on a box of broken springs, whenever I moved the sound of springs in the bed would wake me up. The bathroom is prehistoric, broken window, sink ready to fall off the wall and the room was cold because of the window issues even with a noisy A/C running with the heat on. I could go on even further of the negative experience I had staying at this particular place but that’s enough. Save your money and time and choose another hotel, but these winter hotels in Wildwood are not that appealing so choose carefully. I grew up in Wildwood I worked at many hotels over the years there, this was the worst hotel I stepped foot in on the island of Wildwood.

The room had only 1 ripped up lamp not near the bed. The tv’s have disrupted behavior. And other little things that were annoying. There was no one there to check us in. Another couple had to track them down to get them there. Only a couple of rooms were clean because maids called out sick. The stairs looked like they would collapse if you climbed them. People were running around outside throughout the night. It really was quite the experience just being there. Wouldn’t go again unless they really improved everything. It’s a shame because the location is great.

Stay was terrible. The vacation itself was great, but the hotel was awful. There were teenagers partying till all hours of the night at one point there was a group of about 30 of them in the parking lot screaming and running around the balconies. If you have young kids I’d pick a different place to stay and when I spoke to staff about the problem and a refund to find somewhere else I was told we don’t make money if we give it back to you and that I already paid so I’d have to deal with it. They then offered me 20% off my next stay there.If you have young kids find somewhere else

Ownership will try to Nickle and Dime you, otherwise if you pre-pay through expedia it is a decent deal and super close to the boardwalk. Rooms are OK, not great, but good enough for a trip to the Jersey Shore.

I’d like to share my experience with this hotel. I initially canceled one of my room bookings in order to rebook at a lower rate. The cancellation was done well in advance, within the penalty-free period, and the receptionist assured me it would be processed. However, the hotel still charged me for the canceled room. Despite following up, the cancellation was never properly handled, and I had to resolve the issue myself through my credit card provider. I’m not someone who complains easily — the room was fine for the price. But this experience was a waste of my time and negatively affected my peace of mind.

Typical old time Wildwood motel- doo wop era… small but clean and safe and they were very kind ….As with many motels of this era in Wildwood don’t expect new or fancy- but it’s original and clean and small- but that’s what we wanted. Steps away from the boardwalk- parking free and no fuss… plus for the upgraded Wildwood hotels your looking at 400$ plus per night for the same size place just repainted and a little More modernized.. we can no longer afford the place we went to since childhood for that reason.. so this is very beach old wildwood and that’s ok because it’s just a bed and fridge ect so you can go Have fun on the boardwalk and beach

Everything about this stay was so great - we came in with low expectations and they were exceeded. It was clean, a super convenient location, with a good parking situation. Basically everything you need for a stay by the boardwalk. We couldn't be closer to the boardwalk without being on it - and a good section of the boardwalk as well. The staff had been super friendly and made the stay super easy. We were about to leave our stay with a complete 10/10 review, but the parking attendant had been a bit a aggressive - I think he was yelling at us about new guests needing to park in our spot and us needing to get our luggage from the room immediately so we could drive out or park on the street while we carried our bags down from the second floor. All just a bit ridiculous and unnecessary. Definitely trying to not let this put a bad taste in my mouth given how much I enjoyed the stay and the hotel. All in all, I would stay again.
