Really cute location, right at the end of the boardwalk, and right on the beach. We had an oceanview room. Loved sitting out there in the morning with my coffee. The elevator is pretty slow, but there are steps which is the best option unless you have a lot of stuff to carry obviously. The pool was open, it's heated. Really nice! Lots of seating inside and outside, just overall a decent place. Would stay there again.

This hotel is very nice and we did enjoy it a lot. The rooms were clean, they provided us with pots and pans and plates and what not for the kitchen, plenty of pillows and bedding, pool was warm and the kids loved it, they seemed very diligent about making sure the pool was cleaned and straightened up every day, and the staff was friendly. The downsides to this hotel is 1. They have the slowest elevator on earth. Get a room on a lower floor if possible. 2. it was a bit of a further walk to the boardwalk than I realized. It is at the end of the boardwalk but there is still a good 10-15 minute walk from the hotel to get to where the real fun part of the boardwalk starts. 3. No free breakfast options (don't know if this is typical of all the hotels in the area but we were disappointed) 4. They charge you a cleaning fee if you don't clean all your dirty dishes. Which is an issue because then the plates and stuff are only as clean as the last person who stayed there made them. We were tired and didn't feel like washing them but we did to not get a fee. I know we aren't the only ones half assing that job on the way out. So, maybe wash any plates or pans before using them. I wanted to give this hotel 5 stars at first because it was nice, but there were these little annoyances that existed that took away from the enjoyment of our trip so I had to give them 4.

Fantastic deal off season! We stayed 3 and 2 nights. 2 different rooms. Both had balconies and small clean kitchens. Spacious rooms, clean, safe, ocean view room is remarkable with comfortable chairs! The pool opened till mid October was very clean and good for lap swim. Inside small restaurant, gym, laundry room. You are on the beach, plenty of bike rentals. And very gracious staff. Thank you!!!

This place doesn’t care at all about their customers. First time staying here and def the last. We checked in around 2pm. Right when we got in the bathroom was an issue. The shower had not been cleaned… there was soap still in the shower from the previous person. Additionally, there was a rag left at the top of the tub. Light in the bathroom was non stop flickering as well. I wouldn’t even be surprised if the toilet wasn’t properly cleaned either. I called reception they were made aware of the situation and sent over the matinence guy. He came over and said that a cleaning lady would be coming to fix the cleaning situation. We let him know that they can work on the room while we go out for dinner. We come back home hours later and our door is completely open. Completely unlocked. We were in shock to realize that the door had been like this for 5 plus hours!!! We are in front of the elevator on the main floor and anything could have happened. Thankfully all of our belongings so far are in tact. We are not sure who left it open and still have had no update. This just isn’t okay at all. We have all of our stuff in our rooms including money and our belongings. Front desk guy by the name of bill and John are both DISGUSTINGLY RUDE and AGGRESSIVE. These people only care about money and do no care about their customers. PLEASE GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!!

The grounds were very clean, the staff was extremely helpful, polite and friendly. The room was spotless, housekeeping was wonderful, polite and very accommodating. We only had a couple issues to mention. The mattress on the pullout couch was as thin as a cracker and extremely uncomfortable. The shower curtain rod was about 6" to far into the shower so the curtain stuck to you while you tried to shower. And a side note, the elevators were extremely small and slow. Being that there were only 2, there was a lot of waiting to go up. And being on the 7th floor, walking up the stairs was not an option. We started using the stairs to go down. We will definitely return there the next time we plan vacation.

Such a nice, quaint motel in a very nice beach town. Chris at the front desk was very nice and gave us great ideas of places to eat. It's currently off season, so the town was quiet and the view from the oceanfront room was absolutely perfect. My only issue was when guests in other rooms were using the shower, the noise from the pipes was very loud and unfortunately our upstairs neighbor decided on a long shower at midnight.

Room and bathroom were clean. Disappointed by ocean front view from first floor. Room was right above parking area, where noisy staff congregated at break time. There was often a lot of noisy chatter in the hall. Not sure if it was from guests or staff, but this morning it started at 8am, with loud girls’ hysterical laughter that went on for a long time. There was a coffee maker with 4 mugs in the room, but no coffee. There were many nice towels in the bathroom, which was a plus.

An outstanding room was ruined by cramming two beds into a space sized for a single bed, resulting in a ten inch space between the bed and the wall to get into bed. Very slow elevators, but excellent wifi. Hotels charging a 4% surcharge for using credit cards is outrageous, it is unsafe to carry around hundreds of dollars in cash.

Once checked in I was pleasantly surprised by the room, it was clean, spacious quiet and comfortable. The patio door didn't lock but I was up 6 floors so I didn’t mind. The elevator was extremely slow. I would stay again

Heard about the Inn on Instagram. Took a chance, very pleased. Room was large, clean, pool was great. Employees were friendly. It is oceanfront - however it is a fairly long walk to the waves. All flat sand though. It is located at the end of the boardwalk. Easy tram car ride to the amusements/ shops/ fun. First time was great. I will be back.

Not impressed with my pancakes from the Pancake House… found them to be a bit gritty. Overall, great weekend! Will be back.

The Adventurer is a great place to stay for a Wildwood vacation. It sits just at the beginning of the boardwalk in Wildwood Crest. Breakfast at the restaurant was very good--good prices, good portion size. The building and room were very clean. There is parking in a lot area on the sides of the building and in two underground areas. Can't go wrong with choosing this property.
