    Maid service
    Mama S.

    Just returned from a one week stay at this dinosaur with our family. We booked 2 rooms. Room 506 and room 407. There are only a few good things about this hotel. It's location, which was perfect, the AC (very cold but could be adjusted), the spotty internet and every room is ocean front. Yes, I said spotty internet, because I was happy to at least have some connection. 1. The hotel is run down, dingy, dirty and smelly. We walked into the lobby and could not figure our what the smell was. It was not the musty smell of beach houses but a dirty farm animal smell. We followed the trail of its oder and it lead us right into the restaurant. Needless to say, we never ate one meal there. 2.The elevator was filthy which seems to me, to be one of the easiest things you can clean (see pic). The foyer on our floor had chipped ceiling and wall paint. Not a little chipped paint here and there, but, large obvious decaying paint. 3. Upon entering the room it had that musty smell. I understand, most of the hotels in the Wildwoods have that distinct smell, since, we have been visiting Wildwood for over 20 years on and off. But, now that I am home all of our clothing has taken on the smell, so, now my house smells musty. Everything needs to be washed whether we wore it or not. The room was falling apart. Please see pictures. 4. The pool was cloudy all week and the seagulls seem to have found a swamp to swim in and drink from. My understanding of a chlorinated pool is, if a bird can drink it you don't have the right amount of it in the pool to protect it from algae and bacteria growing. So, we never went in the pool. The kiddie pool was even cloudier and green. The area around the pool is a rock cement walkway, so, you can not walk barefoot around the pool or rip up your feet. 5. The maid service stinks. Our beds were made everyday looking like a 3 year old made it (see pics). They never cleaned the table, counters, sinks, bed stands, or floors. So that explains the ants, yes, ants. So, I guess maid service just means making the bed. The sliding glass door was never cleaned before our stay and was never cleaned during the week. 6. It was hard to stay there but, since I booked one of the rooms through, Booking.com, I had to give a 50% deposit, and since their policy is, up 30 days prior to your stay you can not cancel, it meant if I walked out at that point I would have lost $1800. Our biggest mistake was not looking at the room first before paying up front. I might have had an option to find a cleaner safer room. I will never do that again. The best thing about this hotel is the location and the view you get from your room. It is close to the restaurants and bars and seeing and hearing the ocean everyday was therapeutic. Glad to be home and will never go back!!!

    Do not stay here!!! Ive stayed in a lot of questionable places but this by far has been the worst. I stayed here with 2 friends for a relaxing, quiet bachelorette weekend. I have a laundry list of complaints that range from a leaky ceiling, which upon complaint, maintenance just put two garbage cans underneath. They did not offer us to switch rooms. The staff is rude and always acts like you're putting them out. We asked for clean towels and toilet paper not once but twice, and instead of bringing it to us they made us go get them. Not to mention there are no phones in the room so you have to walk down five flights of steps twice to get the towels and toilet paper. There are no deadbolt locks on the door, just a measly lock on the knob. There were bugs in the room, broken glass in the windows and literal trash in the stairwells and outdoor showers. The shower tiles had mold between them and there are not enough outlets in the rooms. It's also very dark as there is one lamp in the room. I know you pay for the view but even the balcony leaves something to be desired as you sit outside and get verbally harassed by other guests on their balconies, this being mostly male visitors. The only redeeming quality was the virgin pina coladas the bartenders made us every day. I've included pictures of some of the details. We paid over $800 to stay here so I was expecting A LOT more than trash in the hallways and leaky ceilings, unpleasant staff and broken glass. This was supposed to be a celebration for my friend and I was embarrassed that this was the hotel we brought her to. 10/10 do not recommend. Will never stay there again.

    Location is perfect, right next to the beach, close to the boardwalk and other attractions. Friendly staff. However, the location is in need of a major upgrade. Everything is old, muggy/moldy and has set in stains. The smell of cigarette smoke is overpowering and the room lights are vey dim. We had to go out and get brighter bulbs just to be able to see properly. TV remote was not working when we got there and stopped working again during our stay. Decent swimming pool area. There's a laundry facility on premises,which is pretty cool. You have to pay at least a 50 cents for ice at the vending machine. As I said, great location and friendly staff, but some basic upgrades would make this place much more appealing.

    I am usually a very easy to please person don't ever really complain. My family and i booked three night stay at Acropolis before reading any reviews because it was one of few motels with an opening on such short notice. When we arrived the women at the front desk were nothing but rude. Apprently it is improper to even come into the check in area before three . When it finally turned three i returned back to the check in desk where they had charged me an extra $3 dollars more then what the booking online said. When finished checking in the lady pretty much wanted nothing to do with my family and I. When we finally got into the room and settled we finally got a chance to take it all in. The room STUNK of mold, wet, old, dusty everything. The bathroom Reeked of cigarette smoke. Then when looking around the room the door to the front door was actually cracked the doors to separate the two rooms both of them were ripped and cracked.Then while looking at the AC vent they were completely rusted over and did not even work. My family and I even put our things down and left to go eat dinner and came back meanwhile the air was set too high the entire time we're gone with all the lights off because mind you only two lights in the entire place worked. When return the room was still steaming hot and smelled even worse than when we first got there. My brother then noticed that the controllers had zero batteries in then when he went to the desk to ask them for some they made it seem as if he was a bother to them while they were just sitting down outside of the desk. Pretty much making a fuss that we should bring our own batteries. Also had to go out and get our own toilet paper because they can not be bothered for anything !!!! The beds felt dusty and when asked for our room to be turned down while we were out we came back to the exact stained sheets that we asked to be replaced. Overall the experience is not worth it AT ALL. Save your money and honestly sleep in your car if thats the only option. We ended up leaving a day early because it was not worth it. Hopefully they take that free $277 and put it into fixing the place !! If i could rate ZERO STARS i would!! aCRAPolis!!!!!!!

    DO NOT WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY! I wish I could give ZERO STARS! The rooms are outdated and filled with ants, mold, and mildew. The smell is horrendous and we constantly were spraying fabreeze. Thank God we spent most of our time outside on the patio, at the pool, and the boardwalk. The walls are cracked and the door looks like SWAT broke them down. The restaurant smells musty and looking at it you would never want to eat there. If you order take out check your order. The cook doesn't speak English so you may get a surprise. The ceilings are cracked and look like they are about to cabe in at any moment. The air conditioning vent is rusted and leaks and there's hardly any cool air. Also wear shoes at all times. The rugs are so dirty you will end up with black feet. Also bring your own linens and blankets. There are an infestation of ants everywhere. We had our stroller in the room and when we opened it there were ants all in it. We couldn't even put food or drinks in the tables it was so disgusting. The paint is painted over at least 3-4 tones and is chipping in every part of the buil While at the pool a gentleman began cleaning the sides of the pool with a scrubbing brush and a bucket of bleach while young children were frolicking in the pool. We questioned the man and he acted as if we were bothering him and seemed inconvenienced. We asked to see the manager and he obliged while huffing and puffing. About ten minutes later he came back and said Jennifer was busy and told him to stop. He walked away and said all we were doing was keeping him from doing his job. Unbelievable! The baby pool was so cloudy it looked like milk! Finally allowing the public to park doesn't bother me but assign spaces closer to the hotel to your guests and don't also allow the public to have access to the pool. It should be for guests only.

    Bedbugs and letter from manager who never returned my calls nor refunded a penny
    Liz S.

    I still can't get over the bedbug situation and how horribly they handled it. Such a great location with a beautiful set up (all rooms have a deck and are oceanfront) but soooo disgusting! Save your $$

    The only thing this place has going for it is the oceanfront view. The price you pay for the room is not worth what you get!

Negatives:Small room(oceanview king),actually was facing mostly a staircase. Bath not updated. Beds are very firm(some may like this). Air conditioner rusted/falling apart/smelled like burning when on auto and noisy. Walls are very thin and unfortunately if you have inconsiderate folks near you, it sounds like they are in your room whether on sides or above room. Kids walk in your room if you don't immediately lock door. People can gather right outside your door talking so loud it sounds like a noisy bar in your room. Folks who were 6" outside our door for more than 30 minutes )and our door had do not disturb/resting sign on), did not leave after opening door to show them we were inside.When I asked front desk if there was anything they could do (like ask folks to at least gather outside their own room/or move to more open public spaces, she told me just leave room and "go enjoy yourself", that I was "being difficult" by just asking for some common sense considerate behavior.After I then commented that I guess it doesn't matter how much noise I make:She did finally say she would send someone up to disperse crowd. Ceiling tiles have water stains. Had leftover half used hotel hair conditioner bottle in bath. Doormat on inside room is filthy and stained. Parking spaces VERY narrow. Expect dings in your vehicle. You could have a nice stay, but better hope you have 1) more considerate bunch of folks staying when you do 2) Don't mind cramped room.3) Don't get room with deteriorated toilet seat/AC/doormat/walls,4) Have beat up or really tiny car PS bring earplugs if you want to sleep

Affordable, clean and friendly....you're just not going to find a better place for location and comfort! Have stayed multiple times and always had a very good experience. Parking can be a bit tight, but we never had to move the car after arriving because everything else is so close. Room had a. Ice living room with a pullout couch bed. Small kitchenette with fridge and a full bath. The bedroom in the back had two queen sized beds that had plenty of room around them. Awake to the most amazing sunset views on the sun deck, enjoy the ocean views for the rest of the day, then hit the boardwalk (which starts right in front of the hotel). I prefer the 4th floor rooms for a better ocean view. We didn't use the pool much due to the ocean being so close, but it was clean and always had room to enjoy!

    Nice campground but unfortunately aggressive towards EV owners…read more I've stayed here for roughly a month total in the last year or so and was warned early on that they believe charging EVs (even just trickle charging from 15 amp receptacles) will damage their electrical system. While this is an obviousfallacy especially for overnight charging when electrical demand is lower. It seemed the campground was attempting to be accommodating by installing an EV charger at the gate and more recently another at the main pool. This is apparently more of a price gouging move than a genuine attempt at supporting EV owners. The rate they charge is more than triple the prevailing electricity rate. It's even more expensive than the Superchargers a mile or so away at the courthouse. The reason I use the word aggressive to describe this EV politics is because despite not having a single mention of it in their extensive rules they diligently police the property to the point of entering peoples sites to check if EVs are plugged in then taking pictures of them, to come back and confront you later about it. When I'm spending thousands of dollars to stay at a campground on vacation I don't appreciate being lectured over a few bucks worth of electricity nor having my site entered and my privacy invaded to check enforcement of a rule that isn't even listed as a rule except possibly under the section that says they can add more rules at anytime. (Yes they literally have a rule that says that.) The campground facilities are generally nice but there's a lot of nice campgrounds in the area especially at this premium price point. If your an EV owner feel free to enjoy the site just be aware of the aggressive policies and privacy invasion that will come with staying at this location. Campgrounds understandably need to pick their battles and apparently this one has chosen to fight against EVs, police their charging and gouge them on electricity rates.
