Located right on the beach, solid air conditioning system, the building itself is clearly older but the rooms have obviously been recently renovated. Staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating.
The location is wonderful, and the rooms have been updated. 'Hotel employee kept the rooms immaculate daily! The full sized GE fridge was amazing, especially with the beverages we needed to get cold right away. It was important that it was a non-smoking hotel.

The location was great! The boardwalk, arcade, and amusements were just a short walk. There was a buffet right across the street. We had a wonderful breakfast there every day. But the best was the spa and massage therapist. Book in advance.

Not much to be honest. from the pictures I thought this would be nice. Did not like that the rooms were not inside. This was a a motel not a hotel. staff was decent but also didn't really care a ton about the water issue.
Location was amazing, the staff could not have been more friendly or helpful and all of the facilities were very clean. The (free) continental breakfast was a great surprise too!

We arrived very late. Hotel clerk made extra trip to office when we arrived after operating hours. Very kind. Gave us a room closest to our group. Very accommodating. Room was newly refurbished and clean.
It?s a good place to stay if you just need a good bed and a pretty clean room located close to the beach and boardwalk.
There were several things that I really liked. 1. The proximity to the boardwalk. It is within 2 short blocks of Morey?s Pier Park and good dining establishments, so there is a savings on parking. 2. By 10 pm, the pool is closed and it?s very quiet.

Top Tips
- Book hotels for July and August 6-8 weeks ahead, as oceanfront motels often sell out and rates rise 40-60% during this peak season. Larger hotel chains may offer member rates or advance purchase discounts for these dates. For travelers needing accessible rooms, reserve early as these are limited.
- Avoid dynamic currency conversion (DCC) fees, typically 3-4% on international cards, by pre-authorizing payment by phone before check-in. Confirm your payment options directly with the hotel front desk.
- Pick motels in south Wildwood Crest (between Louver and Rio Avenues) for an 8-12 minute walk to the tram and boardwalk, instead of a 20+ minute walk from the northern blocks. Ask about available shuttle services or check if your chosen hotel brand offers convenient boardwalk access.
- Confirm step-free access by requesting rooms with 'zero-threshold showers and entrances,' as only about 15% of motels have true step-free entry. Contact the hotel's accessibility coordinator to verify features or check if chain properties offer amenities like visual alarms or roll-in showers.
- Wildwood Crest does not charge beach access fees, unlike neighboring towns, saving you $15 to $25 USD per person. Enjoy beachfront amenities without extra permits, and check with your lodging for beach accessibility options if needed.
- Use ATMs on the mainland near the Cape May - Lewes Ferry terminal to avoid on-island surcharges of $3.50-$5.50 USD per transaction. Ask your hotel front desk about the nearest no-fee or on-site ATM, as some large hotels waive ATM fees for guests.
- Expect average Wi-Fi upload speeds of 8.2 Mbps at motels; this supports email and light browsing but not video calls. Major hotel chains or upgraded rooms may provide higher-speed or premium Wi-Fi packages.
- Request a back unit at motels to reduce nighttime boardwalk noise by 10-15 dB, improving sleep quality. For even quieter stays, ask for a room away from elevators, pool areas, or event venues, especially in larger hotels.
- Tip housekeeping $2-$5 USD in total at checkout if service is provided, as 80% of motels do not offer daily cleaning. For hotels with daily housekeeping, consider adjusting the tip based on the frequency or your preference.
- Avoid checking in July 1-5, when 35% of weekly rentals turn over and check-in delays of 2-3 hours are common. Try off-peak check-in times or arrange flexible arrivals with the hotel front desk or through their loyalty app.
- Reuse towels mid-week, as on-site laundry services typically operate only Monday, Wednesday, and Friday during peak season. Most major hotel brands provide eco-friendly linen programs and encourage guests to opt in for reduced environmental impact.
- Verify potable water quality if staying in a pre-1970s motel, since 12% may have lead service lines. Ask the front desk about recent water tests or bottled water availability; larger hotels often supply drinking water stations or bottled water for guests.
