Unfortunately I can give good rate to this property because the room was dirty. The bed was clean and comfortable. I hope the staff can do better job cleaning the rooms. I don’t feel comfortable giving this rate but I have do write the truth. The tv only has few channels the cable company does not have a lot of options.

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.

Staff was friendly. Room was clean with a slightly leaky sink but easy to fix with an extra tight turn. Got annoyed about kids screaming and jumping in the pool around 1am and no one to call or enforce a noise complaint

Great bargain motel for proximity to the beach and boardwalk, with multiple decent restaurants within a 10 minute walk (Mexican place around the corner is the closest). Shower worked well, the A/C worked well. One window didn't lock but we were able to secure it. Person at check-in and check-out was very nice.
