First time staying here. July 25 Jeep Invasion. I was completely impressed with this facility. This was my 4th time for the Invasion and my best stay ! Rooms are clean and well taken care of, Parking on site - although it does fill up, But they have other options for you. The pool was nice and clean as was the lounge chair area. I will stay here again !

Clean 50’s style motel a block from the beach and easy walk to the pier with attractions and rides. My family and I had a wonderful stay. The motel is equipped with a little stove, fridge, microwave and even coffee pot to brew your own. Also has a grill to bbq. Staff was friendly and we had no issues. We will definitely be back to visit Wildwood! Great for families.

Room size, especially bathroom was small, but that’s sometimes what you get with beaches. If you are a larger person the bathroom would more than likely be a challenge to navigate. Parking can be difficult unless you get a spot under the overhang. You have to back out of the lot if you don’t as there is not room to turn around. The place was very clean, staff super friendly and helpful. Within a short walking distance of many restaurants, mini golf, ice cream places, and the beach.

The person responsible for giving the keys was great. This isn’t a review about staff. He accommodated our late arrival which was kind of him. But. The SHEETS. There was hair all over it, crumbs and the bathroom was not cleaned. It was as if the cleaning people just made the bed. The floors were disgusting. We absolutely had no choice but to stay, we only booked for the night. This was a last minute decision, book the night before since we already had our vacation booked elsewhere in WW. Details just so you get why we had no choice.

The staff at the front desk were great. Dylan was very helpful. The place has potential. It's a great location. The room is smaller than what was shown in the photo. The room was old and dirty. I'm ok with old but not dirty. There was sand in the beds and the shower was clogged. The property and rooms need a good cleaning.

I had higher hopes for this property based on all the good reviews. The floor was filthy but couldn’t tell until the floor got wet in the bathroom and I wiped them up with a towel that turned grey instantly. We were told that our beds were queens but they were not and told us they measured 60 inches across- I’m 61” tall and it came to my lower calves when laid across the bed. The parking was very tight and we had to park in the emergency parking spot out front the second night. We did not get a chance to swim but the pool looked good. The water was hot for the shower but the stall had peeling paint on the floor. It smelled slightly of chlorine or bleach. The TV uses an old fashioned remote that was dirty. The front desk lady was nice and came to show us how to wiggle the key to get it to work. We will probably not stay here again. However, I was thankful there seemed to be no bugs.

The only good thing about this place was the price. The hotels parking was absolutely horrendous. The parking lot was tight with not enough spaces. Once we parked we were afraid to leave because we didn’t know if we would be able to park again when we got back. The pictures of the rooms are deceiving, they are so small. I couldn’t imagine having more than 2 people in a double queen because with just two of us we were constantly bumping into each other. The cleanliness was also not great; the walls had spots all over them and the shower looked questionable. The sheets looked clean so there’s a plus. The front desk staff was nice as well.

It's the Jersey Shore, so you know how the motels are. A bit run down, which shouldn't matter too much since you spend your days on the beach and your nights on the boardwalk. Extremely clean; staff even cleans your room daily which doesn't happen at most hotels these days. Overall had a great stay.

I booked this for the price and that it was 1 block to boardwalk and beach. It is one of the older small hotels, and perfectly adequate with decent furniture, new paint, clean pool area. But the room floor was grody. It needed a really good cleaning, walking barefoot made our feet black. And internet almost never worked.

It was an enjoyable vacation for my daughter, grandaughter and grandson. The room was clean when we arrived, but we did not realize we had to put a sign out daily to have maid service( fresh towels & trash emptied). One area of concern was black mold in the bathroom on the corner edge of the shower on the baseboard, but on a whole, the room was clean and it was nice having a kitchenette, coffee maker and microwave. The beds were comfortable and the room was quiet. The staff were very nice and helpful.

The room was small but clean. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The shower was nice and hot. The parking lot was a tight squeeze. The motel is close to the boardwalk but not in the midst of everything. It was quiet at night. The only issue was that the AC unit was extremely loud when it would kick on. Other than that, would highly recommend if looking for an inexpensive but clean place to stay.

I chose to stay here because of the good rating but I am beginning to ask myself who actually stayed here! First, let’s start with parking - it’s tight, someone can easily hit your car. The rooms are small, the room smelled old, mattresses were so bad - I have the worse back ache & so does my daughter. The walls are thin, last night there was a couple fighting very loud and let’s just say they were ghetto, raunchy & I knew all their business. The bathroom is so small. thank God we only stood 2 nights - not what I expected but I guess you get what you pay for. The only good thing is the location.

Staff was friendly and accommodating. Convenient location; walking distance to boardwalk/beach, mini golf, shops, and plenty of restaurants.

The service was excellent! He was very friendly and helpful. The room was nice, however the bathroom was very tiny. The washcloths and hand towels were so thin, you could see through them. Also, the parking was very tight. I have a bigger car and had a hard time getting into and out of the parking spot. Overall, it was not a bad place to stay, and I would stay here again.

Various meal options within walking distance, one block from the board walk, and the beach. Competitively priced so overall a good value, would return next summer.

Would figure it out if needed. Parking tight, although that's the way with most smaller motels. Would definitely recommend!!

The location is perfect. It is right by convention center on the boardwalk and walking distance from lots of diners, eateries, and mudhen brewery. We barely used our car once we got there but there was lots of spaces available. Also, the pool is pretty big and has a nice 8ft part that my kids loved. It was clean, conveniently located to everything or anything you’d want to do and also reasonably priced. We will definitely be back again.
