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

We stayed in room 202 the last week of July. It was one of the Tilia efficiencies. We actually were quite impressed with the property. The first thing is the sand. It's like powder. We liked it better than OC, Md or Myrtle Beach. As for the hotel: it's a beach hotel. Not as nice as the Grand Hyatt or... more

I have to start by saying my family and I have been going to the El Coronado for 10 years and have always enjoyed our stay there. The week before we left I decided to read the reviews on the tripadvisor because I knew the hotel did all renovations to the rooms as well as the hotel so I wanted... more

I expected so much more from this hotel and I was very disappointed. The hotel staff is unfriendly and very unprofessional. About 90% of the staff is made up of a bunch of kids that fool around and don't do their job. There was an incident at the pool where two hotel employees were hanging out by the pool on... more

First. let me say that the renovations completed this year were very nice (new kitchens, furniture, carpet, tile, etc.) , the front desk staff was friendly and as responsive as they could be to my complaints about room cleanliness, the restaurant serves a good breakfast at a good price, the pool was well-maintained, and the location was excellent (right on... more

I have no idea where the negative reviewers stayed but I did not find any of that stuff during my stay this past weekend. Upon early arrival, I checked to see if there were changing rooms and the nice lady at the front desk told me my room was ready and I could check right in - 3 hours early!... more

I don't understand the excellent reviews that I saw. I did expect more from a room that was $450 a night. We stayed in a three bedroom condo style room for four nights that was spacious and almost typically exquiped for such a unit. Pros: Great view of the ocean and adequate balcony with sliders from the living room. There... more
