This was her first time there and we absolutely loved it they made us feel like family and treated us like we were at a five-star hotel! They even were kind and gracious to our service dog and gave her treats a gift and dog bowls for the room they were amazing! Nothing but great things! The room was exceptionally clean nothing at all to complain about it was perfect!

Great family place. Very clean. Pool and games around the pool, grill area all were excellent. Being able to bring our little furry family member plus. It’s a good 20 Minute walk to the boardwalk so we did use Uber ($15 for 6 ppl). acme is across the street Super convenient to cook meals on the grill. In room coffee was lacking but Starbucks 4 blocks away while we walked the fur baby. Overall bare bones place, but got the job done with lots of laughs for all

This motel is located in a nice area in Wildwood. There are lots of food options located within walking distance of it. The staff were very friendly and welcoming during our stay. The pool and hot tub were clean and lots of games to play by the pool. The room was clean and while it was only my gf and I it could definitely accommodate a small family.

The efficiency room was very clean. The two fullsize beds were comfortable. Room could use some updating. Bathroom was small. Could’ve used some shelves to put toiletries on. Loved the dog bathing station outside. Came in handy after taking our dogto the beach. Parking spaces were a little tight. Staff was friendly and helpful!

Our family loved our time at Sandbox. They are conveniently located near a liquor store, a supermarket and pharmacy all either a few steps away or on the next block. They are very dog friendly and they even gave us dog items to use for our guy. The pool was a fun area with lots of activities to spend time on and life vest for kids to use. Overall it was a very pleasant stay and we would return in the future!

The area is unique. Its beginning to get built up and renovated. This property is an original, and I must say, its in better condition, is clean inside rooms, and the managers office is friendly, co.pared to others in the area. Its only March and it is the off season but when ithe town opens up soon, this place will definitely be happening.

It was a very pleasant day. I was in town for work and just wanted a cheap room for the week. It's definitely an older room. The bathroom will probably remind you of your grandmother's in the '70s. There's even a brick shampoo dispenser in the shower lol. But, the most important part is it was clean, quiet and I felt very safe. The neighborhood around it is very nice. I would definitely stay there again.

This was a last minute, last resort situation to book this motel, and it was a waste of money. The facilities were dirty (ash trays full of butts, yet there’s supposed to be no smoking outside of rooms, cat food on the ground), the beds were incredibly uncomfortable we could feel the metal through them, and the walls are paper thin (we could hear the neighbor, which seemed like a long-term tenant, using metal utensils in their dishes and their tv on all night that’s how thin the walls were). It was a horrible nights sleep and so not worth the price. Maybe things are different during the summer season, but I can’t see how they could improve that much. Would never, ever stay here again; I’d rather sleep in my car.

Cannot beat for the price. Clean, close to a lot and pretty comfortable. It is spartan and tight for 4 people - smaller bathroom and 2 double beds. But the cost meant we had no stress eating out and shopping during our weekend without feeling like we plunked down a lot on the hotel. Staff also very nice! I would say the only real improvement I could see would be less smoking around us - outside, etc. but really a terrific deal - clean and we didn’t feel scammed! Thank you.
