Love this location! Its right on the boardwalk and a short walk to the beach which is perfect. My favorite part was the rooftop lounge its the perfect place to watch the sunrise. When I stayed it was being renovated but it looked like there was a pool. The rooms were small but welcoming and the bed was comfortable. I also enjoyed the open concept of the hotel and it felt private.

You never hear when the service is good, but there's always someone out there ready to say, "My experience was bad! I'm writing a review!" Well my experience was good! I'm writing a review. This is your typical Wildwood Hotel, with standard rooms. I rented the two bedroom apartment which is a short walk from the office, about 200 feet. Room was clean but some lights were not working and the hot water wasn't really hot. One call to the office and within a few minutes someone arrived to assess. Everything was handled right away. Even a licensed electrician to change the bulbs. Plenty of towels for our group of six. I'd recommend. They are very nice and accommodating.

Great location, the staff was very nice, very fairly priced. Plenty of parking during my stay. I went down with a classic car and off street parking was a concern and I had zero issues. I really enjoyed the rooftop deck view!

The room was nice. It was clean and everything worked. Bed was comfortable. The walls were a little thin, but not always noticeable and didn’t hinder our sleep. Loved how close we were to the boardwalk and beach. Overall, a great place to stay!

This is our only place to stay while in Wildwood. We've been staying here since the last owner years ago. Angie who has owns it now for many years is on top of everything. The rooms are clean, we stay in a small room seeing its just 2 of us. The room has everything you need to be comfortable. Building 1 is at the boardwalk you can sit on the upper patio and watch everyone walking on the boardwalk and view the beautiful beach. The staff is so welcoming and efficient. Theresa in housekeeping has been there since the previous owner. She is so sweet it was our pleasure to chat with her all week. Can't say enough positive feedback on our 9 day stay. Easy access to the boardwalk and beach. Couldn't get a better convenient location. It's been over 20 years of our Summer visits and never disappoints. Highly recommend.

This hotel was Amazing! We stayed 5 days for Labor Day Weekend. I loved how we could see the sunrise right from the balcony! The rooftop pool wasn’t open but we didn’t care because the view from up there was amazing !! I knew going to this hotel the rooftop pool wasn't open, but that was the worst thing people could say, and I knew the hotel had 3 other options for pools. So if we wanted to swim we could use those. Plus the hotel I picked across the street, had a working pool. We stayed in 3H across the street and it was perfect! There are 4 buildings I believe owned all together. So I suggest paying attention to what you are booking. Room size was good, clean, cute little kitchen, & good water pressure!! I liked that we weren’t 100% on the boardwalk but literally steps away from it. Price was great, no issues with other guests. Everyone was using the BBQ grills and that made me so happy to see families bonding together!! The staff while checking in was also great, the gentleman was so informative and explained everything. Even when he called me to confirm the booking a week or two prior he was so kind. The house keeping staff was also so pleasant. They cleaned our room daily, new towels made the bed. Very friendly to speak to if/when we needed anything. Plenty of Parking in several different lots. Great Booking!

We've been lucky enough to find this little gem right on the boardwalk. Vintage and cozy place with great service. We visit a few times a year for the last seven and will continue the tradition. This place definitely has my heart

Right on the beach! The room was clean and service was great! Our DVD player wasn’t working and staff was so quick to accommodate and give us a new one. The upstairs pool is closed but you can still go up and the view is amazing. Absolutely amazing stay and can’t wait to come back next year. Only 4 stars on the room because it’s very tiny.
