Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We have been vacationing at the Beach Colony Motel in Wildwood Crest, NJ for several years. The location is perfect and there is no cleaner motel in all of the Wildwoods. Leslie and her staff are the best, warm, welcoming, and efficient. There is no other place we would rather stay.

This motel is a great place for families. We have stayed here 2 years in a row with 10 people over 3 rooms and a dog. The pool area has lots of room with many lounge chairs and tables to sit at. The outdoor patio area is nice for feeding a larger group. There are many table and chairs available with 2 gas grills for guest use. These grills are cleaned inside and out every morning. I have seen the staff spend a minimum of 20 minutes on each grill making sure they are clean and ready for another use. The cleaning staff is very thorough in the rooms and public areas. Leslie (mgr.) is super to work with and always very responsive if a problem arises. We have already booked for next year! A 5 minute drive to the Wildwood Boardwalk with lots of restaurant options within a 5-10 minute drive of the motel.

The woman who runs it is a criminal, and I am not exaggerating. Should be shut down. They robbed me! They gave away a room I had reserved, and would not even reimburse me. I had a reservation for Friday, July 29 and Saturday, July 30. On Friday, I was not able to travel, so I called up the Beach Colony, and told the manager, who I believe is LESLIE ZECHMAN, that I would be coming down Saturday. I got there at 4 PM Saturday, and she told me she had given my room away, and had no others to give me, and would not refund the money. I was astounded. First of all, 4 PM is the check-in time they state on their website; and when I spoke to her on Friday she said nothing about what time I had to arrive on Saturday. Second, since I've already paid for the room, it is mine to arrive at whenever I want, even if it's, say, 11 PM that night. Her "defense" was that she called my home phone at about 10:30 AM on Saturday (when I was on the road travelling and nowhere near my phone), and said if I did not return the call promptly, she would be giving my room away. WHAT??? What gave the Beach Colony that right? The truth is, she wanted to charge DOUBLE for that room that night, so that's what she did; she got my money and the new guest's. I told her she was literally a thief, and she blandly agreed with me. This was perhaps the most outrageous commercial experience of my entire life. I cannot express in words my contempt for the management of this place. Avoid it like the plague.

Just finished our third stay at the Beach Colony and I thought they deserved a favorable honest review. If you have pets, need a short stay, don't mind the typical high pricing for any hotel during the summer season down at the shore, adequate facilities that is clean ( overpowering at times, yes, but I like the smell of clean ) , inside and out, then this is the place for you. As they say, cash is king. So if you pay cash, there's a 5% difference in rate. If you pay with credit card, expect that 5% extra. If you are bringing pets, the extra fee per night is $34.10 per pet. This is fee is only payable in cash. As other reviews have mentioned, if you're not a fan of pets, this is probability not the place for you. Yes, there is some barking as doggies cross pathes, but during our three stays here, never was a problem or an annoyance. Leslie, the general manager / host is pleasant to work with. If travelling with pets, they encourage you to call to reserve your room. They also have their own website to book rooms. Probably best to book directly with them as I have seen reviews where bookings were lost or not honored perhaps thru using third party sites, but not sure on that one. However, if they have a room, Leslie will get you setup. Yes, some rooms do not have the best views as this is your typical doo wop area L shaped motel, that's 2 floors, and no elevator. As a matter of fact, the steps can be a little tricky to navigate. At least 2 rooms, one on each floor is tucked into the L of the motel, so yes these rooms face a blank concrete wall near the ice bin and laundry / housekeeping areas. Parking is tight. They have one space for each room, but spots are narrow. So if you have a big rig, I had a RAM 1500 there, parking can be snug. Is it a resort? No, but they don't charge you a resort fee like others for use of the facilities. They have a pool with a slide, some outside seating area, ice machine and a couple of grills, that's their resort. Every room we have stayed in was clean with average furnishings and most if not all include a coffee maker, mini fridge and microwave. Check their website for room configurations, some have a small kitchenette too. Again, not a resort, no coffee or coffee filters are included, you'll have to bring your own. If your looking for a place where you can bring fido, have nice hospitality and clean rooms, this is the place to stay for a short trip. Excellent for the pet lovers, probably considered average for the average Joe.

If/When you make reservations request that you do not be assigned Room #3. The view from your room is a cement wall and stairway. There is also ice machine and laundry room next to #3. It was amazing how many people use the ice machine after 12 midnight. It is difficult to sit outside your room with the foot traffic to the ice machine & laundry room. The room air conditioner is very loud. Upon arrival we noticed the strong scent of disinfectant. When we opened the door to the room the smell was overwhelming. I had a slight headache from the scent. The scent was also throughout the motel outside. The only relief was to leave the motel or head to the beach. I get it that dogs are staying here but there must be some sort of cleaner without this overwhelming scent. I think it was Fabuloso disinfectant. We did complain to the manager about our room but her answer was Oh Well. Asked if the room could be discounted and she said it already was. Not true. No indicator on bill that it was discounted. She claimed it was on my reservation. It was not. On the up side it is close to the beach and the motel is very clean to a fault. If you are sensitive to any scents this is not the place for you. We met other vacationers who would not stay there again due to the scent. The accommodations are very dated as well.

We are sorry you did not enjoy your stay. We list that unit as a breezeway unit and it is always priced at discounted rate. Some of our customers actually request that 1st floor breezeway. We hope you stay with us again and you can call us directly to book to ensure we put you in a room you prefer. We hope to see you again .

We had an amazing stay at this hotel. We found Leslie the general manager to be helpful and friendly. She was always very accommodating to all our questions and request. The hotel while an older building is extremely clean and well maintained. The grounds crew and housekeeping staff does a great job taking care of everything. I would recommend if you have an older dog to book the bottom floor. My pup wasn’t fan of the steps. Excellent time HIGHLY recommended. Leslie was the best to work with!!! Oh, and the pool was much larger than other pools I saw in town with lots of chairs. Short short walk to the beach.

Called hotel I was familiar with, no availability. Several hotrls sold out. Booked an A type a room.; All that was available. Stayed Sat - Mon. Called on Friday and asked any other rooms. Was told an upgrade with a view?? Asked about facilities to change. Was told yes. When I arrived the room wasnot available, ok, but no where to change. They did take my number and called me. When checking in was told AC button broken so hit reset. Room was warm. The air was hot. The next day. AC was off; it was broken. Leslie called the maintenance who couldnt come for several hours so they moved us to a 2 bed efficiency. The rooms are outdated but clean. ACs are loud. Appreciate the great customer service in moving us. I didn't gave pets but several near us but dicnt hear.
