We had to travel to Wildwood for a funeral and needed one night's accomodations. While I commend the Dawn Motel for allowing us to stay only one night (most have a 2- or 3-night minimum), I must say that this was probably one of the worst places I've ever stayed. It was clean and close to the Boardwalk, but that's... more

I stayed at the Dawn Motel the weekend of July 18. I thought it was a great deal. It is right across from the boardwalk and beach. My room had fresh paint, new carpets and a flat screen tv. The manager Jean said all the rooms have been redone and plan on more renovations. Some have brand new kitchenettes. The... more

My stay at this motel was during the Memorial Day weekend on 2007. The rooms wore clean, but plain ugly. The owner and office staff failed to provide a safe environment to its guests. On my stay, there was complete chaos. There were guests drinking, fighting, and disturbing other guests. They were allowed to drink, yell, and fight on the... more

Our family just came off from the beach and looking for a place to stay. Before walking in the office we just wanted to use the water hose to clean ourselves first. A tall white male staff came up to us and told us "get out if you don't stay here." Is that how one human being should treat another????... more

The Dawn Motel is not a fancy place, but it is definitely one of the better places in Wildwood, NJ. My family stayed there for an extended weekend and was surprised at how clean the place was for the price. The owners are also very friendly. It is practically on the beach. You can sit on the deck and see... more
