This is the first time I’ve been to wildwood. When I first pulled up I did have my doubts. But I have to 1000% agree with the other reviews. This place is a hidden gem. The owner is super friendly and helpful. She gave me the best first impression of wildwood felt super welcomed. The rooms are really nice this place is the definition of “don’t judge a book by its cover”. I will be coming back and staying here

Donna, and Carl provided the best hospitality i ever experienced in wildwood. Honestly... this is my "go-to" hotel now because of the show of respect from the staff and respect of privacy.

I stayed here for the first time over this past Labor Day weekend after walking in and booking just a week before. As most everyone has mentioned, the owners are Donna and Carl are so welcoming and personable that they instantly make you feel at home. The same goes with their team, Heidi and Zach. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the location is only a short walk to the beach and boardwalk. Even the other guests were great! While my stay was short, I no doubt left like feeling part of the family. I’m looking forward to returning next summer!
