Was smaller than expected (my fault). My wife has some physical challenges that made Mobil difficult. They have a very old and a bit dilapidated dresser in room that smelled musty and made our clothes smell bad. Overall, clean except floors needed cleaning and very dated. Don’t know that I’d stay there again as there are many other choices in Wildwood

Great experience at this hotel. Wish the room was a bit bigger or was even a suite but it did the job. Needed a table and couch in order to relax more comfortably Hopefully my next stay will be better

Had a great time. Can't wait to go back if there was only one thing that I could change about this place. It would be for the parking spots to be a little bit bigger. That's about it otherwise a great place to take your family.

Don't be fooled by pictures and good rating like I was. I was there from 5/24/24- 5/26/24. Place is very old, dirty, the toilet was filthy, the sheets were dirty, the bathroom is tiny, the TV sucked, no iron but rooms do have a fridge, laundry on site and staff was friendly. I'll give this hotel a 3/10. Do not waste your money here like we just did!!
