Very nice stay! Just a little boardwalk motel, but very nice staff and clean. Perfect little pool area with nice loungers, tables under a tent, and BBQ. 1 block from Duffers for food ice cream or mini golf.

Newly remodeled. Very clean. Easy check in and very friendly staff.
I highly recommend staying here. The owners are amazing and accommodating. The location is perfect. You can park your car and walk everywhere you need to go. The rooms are clean. Everything you expect. I will definitely stay here every time
Really close to beach and boardwalk which was a super plus. The room was extremely clean and would have definitely came back. However my only issue was that I was told that if I planned to stay out I would need a parking permit as the lot would be full. I was not notified that I had to do this beforehand. And upon coming on 1 late night, I called the front desk and a woman answered and let me know I had to do it beforehand. She was extremely rude and not helpful at all. Told me it was “my problem” and I could parking 2-3 blocks away and/or risk the parking ticket. Aside from this in incident, had a nice time.
The only tough part was parking. You only get one space per room. My son and I were there for a Jeep event with both of our jeeps. The street parking was park mobile but was free from 10pm-8am. We were alway out and busy so we only had to pay for a few hours. Nice motel.
The staff was very nice and motel was clean. Very close to the boardwalk and beach. We didn't have any issues with parking and pool area was well kept.

The ac broke and we spent one night without an ac, they didn’t have one on premises and we had to wait until next day to replace it. The fridge’s racks were missing and they didn’t bring ones that fit, we had to pile our food on top of each other to fit. Parking was horrible, they don’t have enough spots and don’t have spots for handicapped people whose I am one of them. My car got many scratches because of how close the parking spots are which makes it very difficult to get in/out your car specially if you are a handicapped person. The room is pretty small for 4 people and so were the beds. The rooms should accommodate 4 people but they have a small dining table with only 2 chairs not 4 since we booked a room for 4 with kitchenette. Housekeeping is upon request only while it was expected to be on a daily basis!
The staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. Staff clean the pool and area surrounding it every morning. I would definitely recommend staying here.
Stayed there for barefoot country music festival.. location was ideal.. easy walk starts at the beginning of the boardwalk.pool was beautiful. They were short hand with cleaning staff but provided towels or what you needed when asked .
This is my second stay at this place. The rooms are great, the grounds are great, great pool, grills, very friendly owner. Unfortunately, this is not a non smoking property, and the family next to our room, smoked outside the whole time we were there (monday-thursday) from early in the morning until late at night, and the smell of that type of smoke they had was horrible. I did not complain to the owner as I did not feel like it would have gone well with the people next to us. With the proliferation of recreational drugs it's now impossible (unless noted by the hotel) to avoid that type of situation. More hotels are now enforcing rules of smoking near the building and are advising people in advance, I will be more careful in the future if there are no smoking posted at least I could have complained. It's too bad that our second stay turned out like this, but it's up to you Mr. Owner, I am just reporting on my experience. You still have a fabulous place, but letting people ruining other guest's experience...
The room was clean and the staff very friendly, excellent location to the boardwalk, highly recommended for your stay. I would stay there again if in Wildwood.
we were about two maybe 3 blocks from the boardwalk. it was very quiet and had a very nice pool. check in was easy and our room was right across from the pool. i have been going to wildwood for about 23/24 years and it’s my home away from home
Parking was a liitle tight, as far as availability & size of parking space. Loved the room. Although not on beach, it was only a short walk away. Lived the kitchen in the room. It definitely came in handy.
