Wildwood Crest is a moderately expensive resort town, so it’s important to judge the value of a hotel/motel with that in mind. While $200 a day gets you a fairly luxurious hotel in some towns, that’s about average for a good (not great) Wildwood Crest hotel in season. If this is your first visit to Wildwood or any similar resort... more

I was very skeptical when I saw their website. They have great pictures of the pool and beach but none of the rooms. I was late in booking our vacation so I took the chance on the last room they had available, a king size bed and a pullout couch, for a family of 4, mom, dad & kids, 13... more

This place has a great location. Right on the beach can't be beat. We have been going to the El Coronado for years. However, this year was different. We specifically rented a room with a King size bed and pull out couch for the children. I was assured the pull out couch would "comfortably sleep 2 children". The pull out... more

I have been going to the Wildwoods since I was a young child...this hotel by far was the nicest I have stayed at. The staff was great, friendly and cooperative, the room was beautiful, especially the ocean view from the 5th floor! The location cannot be beat. Our kids enjoyed the pool and the access to the beach is fantastic.... more

My family and four other extended families stayed at the El Cornado over 4th of July weekend. Unfortunately for me, $230 and my social security card were stolen from my room. In hindsight, I should have put my valuables in the safe, but I have stayed at many hotels before and my personal items were never touched. I did not... more

We have stayed at many hotels/motels. You pay for what you get. We were looking for a good value with decent amentities. For the value (140.00 two nights, ocean front) you can not beat it! It was at the quieter side of town between Wildwood and the more adult oriented Cape May so you get the best of both worlds.... more

I read the reviews from others who stayed about the same time as we did. I think the reason why some liked it and some did not comes down to expectations. Wildwood is NOT a place for those who expect high quality and low hassle. My brother and sisters family stayed here the same time we did. All liked the... more

Just came back from a fall weekend in Wildwood. Never stayed at this hotel before, but heard some good things (and read some mixed reviews) and thought I would give them a call. When I called, the price was right. $150.00 for the weekend which was good. I was alittle weary about such a good price (other older hotels wanted... more

This hotel is very average... Rooms are dirty and screaming for a coat of paint! Bed spreads are old and look like they are from the 70's. Beds are hard and uncomfortable... The pool area is not exactly relaxing as it overlooks a car park and is filled with screaming kids. It is also not that big and is easily... more
