This hotel is in my top 5 in wildwood. The location is great. The customer service was great. Soon as I walked in I felt comfortable. The pool area was clean and quiet. I mean there’s really nothing bad to say about the establishment. I’d definitely stay again. The price was reasonable as well. Looking forward to coming back soon. Thanks for a great time.

Close to the end of the boardwalk, nice pool. We had a problem with the lock and TV and the manager had everything fixed very quickly. Great weekend stay.
