My family stayed at this place for years when I was younger. The staff is friendly and they keep the place clean. Great amenities and a great view of the beach. Right by the boardwalk too.

Really not sure why there are so many negative reviews for stays during a pandemic. THERE'S A PANDEMIC OUT THERE PEOPLE! Things won't be exactly like they were before. We took a family trip here (planned last year) and had 5 rooms - 20 total people and the hotel itself was exceptional and very clean. Drive by some of the other hotels in the area, this is definitely one of the nicer properties. It's an excellent location, right at the start of the far end of the boardwalk with beach access as well. The rooms are all large suites and fairly updated with a private balcony. The balcony can fit 2 people comfortably to sit and read, have a drink, etc. We were in room 215 and had great easy access to the sun deck and steps right down to the pool, spots where we spent most of our time. There is a restaurant on site to grab breakfast and lunch which is nice - food was pretty good, pretty basic selection. Reading reviews talking about there being too many people walking by your room, or not allowing drinks at pool (not true we were all doing it just don't bring glass and you're good) are pretty comical. The tv/cable definitely needs to be looked at, static and blurry channels for some reason but it didn't bother me much since I was on vacation and not spending time in my room watching tv. The elevators are also painful, thankfully we were on the 2nd floor so we just took the steps. Try to stay on a low floor.

We didn't stay at the hotel but we ate at the restaurant inside the hotel on the first floor. The food service was good. Our waitress was nice she took a picture for us when our food came.

[741] We decided to try a new Wildwood Crest Hotel this year. Stayed here for a week in July. Right off the boardwalk and across from the ocean. We picked the Ocean view/pool side as it has an unobstructed view of the ocean. It's on the side of the building so not a direct view but that's ok. There is a small patio which fits two chairs and a small table. One parking space per family unless you reserve a larger room. We decided on the D room floor plan as it has a separate sleeping room (well it's separated by a accordion door). Our room was on the smaller size as one of the beds were sideways and not directly next to each other. Plenty of dresser space. Bathroom was small so only one person at a time. The kitchen has a full side fridge, electric top and microwave which worked for us. The building has a restaurant which was always packed. It has a laundry room. The pool was large and nice. We really enjoyed the pool. There were a few outdoor spaces which was great as we sat outside and played cards. Plenty of luggage carts to borrow. The two elevators were slow and HOT. We took the stairs many times. Air Conditioner worked in our room, but it struggled. We had it at 61 degrees and it felt like 75 which was comfortable. We really liked this location and will be back.

kitchen was clean

Pros: Location, right on the beach. Private balconies. Restaurant on site. Large rooms with full kitchen. Top sundeck. Cons: Extremely slow elevators. Top sundeck furniture is ripped to shreds. Parking garage is very tight. Restaurant is overpriced. Staff wasn't very friendly. Room smelled musty. Tub did not drain when taking a shower. Bathroom light was not working properly. Most of tv stations were full of static and no sound.

Thick dust on bathroom baseboards

We have stayed at the Adventurer multiple time in the past 18 years. It's inexpensive and a hop skip and jump to the beach. However, we noticed that it is not the cleanest place to stay. Our most recent stays we were upset with how unkept the room was. There is a very musty smell throughout the rooms. The bathroom was a disgrace. The toilet needed a very deep cleaning. The ring inside the toilet was unacceptable. The baseboards had a thick coating of dust. And there was black mold on the shower wall. We did our best to clean the room with the supples we brought with us. We actually left the room in better condition than we found it. The front desk staff is top notch. If I could give them a side rating it would be 4.5 stars. Super friendly! Hope they retrain the housekeeping on the benefit of a clean room.

Yummy salt water taffy at check in.
Van V.

Really 3.5. Amazing location. We had an oceanfront suite room with fabulous ocean views, from sunrise through moon rise. You cannot beat the off-season price for this room. Could sleep 6 if necessary. Check in was smooth with a delicious bowl of salt water taffy right there to welcome you down the shore. Hallways very well done with ceramic tile and Wildwood themed photos. Right next to entranceway to boardwalk. Decent little pool and sunny exposure into late afternoon. Sundeck above too. Some parts of room updated. Older coach and chair need to be replaced when they can. Bedspreads old. Kitchenette fine and we like having one. These are the fatigued aspects, but not terrible. We did not eat in restaurant but looked clean and nice. But nothing like that oceanfront balcony. We would return off season for the value and the location. We would try summer too if we could get a price point for us. Right on a gigantic and gorgeous Crest beach.

This hotel is a convenient place at the tip of the boardwalk and could use a little help. I don't dislike it fully but I probably will not stay again, but I'm bougie when it comes to my hotel room. House cleaning definitely has to be better. They need to care about this hotel. It has a lot of potential. Pros: Nice pool Great view Affordable Friendly staff Plenty parking Nice sized room with mini stove full fridge double room. Cons: Dated hotel Room semi dirty Dirty Linen Elevators tough to get to your floor with so many people.

Nice glassed in area poolside that has TV's

Stay: midweek, early May. I consider myself exceptionally lucky to have seen their FB $50/night special. I stayed three nights. I had an incredible first night's sleep and awoke and went to breakfast in their wonderful restaurant. My server was Christine from Romania and not only was she very nice but she's a very good server. Everyone at the front desk has been wonderful. Shout out to Mary D. Who went above and beyond acquainting me with what this part of Wildwood Crest has to offer. Two friends of mine stayed there the second week of June and had an equally pleasant stay. I usually stay further up in the Crest at a friend's motel but as they are not open preseason this will be my new place to go in April and May, Especially if they run another Facebook special.

The hotel is well maintained and has great views of the beach. The room was clean and slightly dated but it's more about the shore and being out than staying inside :) I think all rooms have a balcony which allows you to enjoy the area even more when you are in the room. Heated pool with plenty of lounge chairs with another sun deck up some stairs. There is also a nice covered area to sit and relax if you want to get away from the sun. The hotel is at the very beginning of the boardwalk. You get the best of both worlds at this location, close to the fun but far enough away to just soak in the beach life.

View from room- shame on the neighboring establishment to let it get this way

Pros: Location, staff, room was clean. Restaurant on site is quick & food decent. Pool is nice as well as upper decks. Cons: needs updating, ac struggled to work, balcony is small, view was good as long as you ignored the garbage on the street across the way, which is not hotel's fault, parking is ridiculous spots too small, needs to be reconfigured. Elevator way too slow easier to use stairs. I'd go again if updates are made

View from 6th floor room !!!

Been staying here for a few years now, wouldn't think of staying anywhere else. Supper clean, super nice staff, very nice rooms, underground and out door privet Parking. Can't beat the location less than 100ft from the start of the board walk and. Even closer to the beach. Don't hesitate about this place just book the room and you'll be thankful you did. Can't wait to come Back next year.

See all

Starlux Hotel - 2queen beds

Starlux Hotel

I'd have to say, I truly have no complaints about this hotel…read more Upon arrival Starlux was easy to find due to its eccentric design and decor. I was happy to find that the starlux has their own parking lot with free and adequate parking. Check in was simple and straightforward. The lady at the front let us know that everything we see out was free to use. Beach towels, boogie boards, sand toys, bikes, kids helmets and complimentary tea and coffee. I only wish we had known this earlier because it would of saved us packing alot of things! We had room 304. To get to the floor there was an elevator and stairs inside as well as an outdoor circular stair case. The room itself was small. It consisted of two queen beds, a bathroom, dresser, mini fridge, microwave and desk. The whole front of the room was a glass window that does not open, overlooking the street, but not the water. The only window in the whole room was in the bathroom. They have an ac unit, but no ceiling fans. The room itself got pretty stuffy due to poor air circulation. I would suggest bringing a small fan. The bathroom was stocked with lots of towels, neutrogena soap and lotions as well as shampoo and conditioner. Everything was suprising clean. The oddest thing was the small wall that jutted out a few inches from the toilet, making it a tight squeeze. The hotel also has a decent sized pool with a hot tub. We did not use them but we had a nice view of them from our balcony. They also have a small game room and laundry facilities. All in all, I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to Wildwood.

First off, I gotta say, we just had THE best time ever down the shore while staying with the gang…read more@Sandbox! Hands down, such a great experience all around, I truly cannot recommend this place enough! So.... Ok, you wanna head down the shore but u have dogs? It's gonna be tough right? ....Wrong!!! Sandbox accepts pets (for a reasonable fee) of all sorts and sizes so that the whole family can pack it in and have fun!!! My two boys, hubby and the 4 (Yes I am crazy ) dogs... 3 pitbuls and one 16 yr old chihuahua.... Packed up and moved into the sandbox motel for a week and I truly cannot wait to go back Rooms are clean, cool, spacious and comfortable with everything you could possibly need, all at your disposal!! We stayed in the apartment room on the first floor. It boats two generous bedrooms, large, * beds, a jacuzzi tub (that doesn't take away from the bathroom size btw) ... beautifully tiled and fully functional kitchen with all the amenities of home... coffee maker, plates, all cutlery! Cozy dinning area, closets to live in and a fabulous gas grill right outside our door! It was just perfect! Oh and don't forget? Acme, Walgreens, cvs and bars/restaurants within seconds walking from the hotel! Everyone here is just so nice and welcoming, it has a real family friendly feel Oh and the pool?! Fogettabout it hot tub? They got that too bb! I had a hard time leaving and we actually extended our trip 2 extra nights All seriousness? It's been a few since we have been down the shore, and our first time bringing all the dogs... but it was a trip well worth it and long over due and honestly? If it had been at any other hotel, I do not believe things would have been so amazing! I hope you guys enjoyed having us, bc you know we will be back Call now, it's not too late to book a weekend before the weather changes... You will NOT regret this place as a dog owner and a parent.... I was completely satisfied and 100% content with our wonderful vacation at the Sandbox Hotel in the wildwood crest!

We've had quite the summer of Wildwood! Staying at The Madison is a treat and one we savor…read more The Ocean Tower and Royal Tower have similar amenities, but we lean toward the Ocean Tower. It feels newer and cleaner. The guest rooms are spacious and bright. Both Towers have a pool, but the Ocean Tower side has a DJ on the weekend with cabanas for rent. My sister rented one for my brother-in-law's milestone birthday and we had a blast. The pool is kid friendly and gets quite busy on the weekends. They offer a small food menu with soft drinks. You're welcome to bring your own adult beverages (which you KNOW we did)! That being said, it's pricey and they are not particularly accommodating about checking into your room early. We feel they could be a little more flexible on this front. If it's not 4:00 PM (or close to it) then you're not getting the keys. If you want to pay $50, then your room is miraculously ready (but not before noon). Checking in at 3:00 PM should not constitute a fee. Just sayin'. If you're seeking retro vibes, then this is the place for you!

I rarely review hotels. I'm used to (and disgusted by) most hotel rooms but let's focus on those…read moreplace. It deserves to be mentioned. Price? More than I've paid in major cities for a four star hotel. Room? Bugs in the bathroom. Shower. Curtain fell apart when I moved it. The fan in the bathroom makes a lot of noise. You'd think, just turn it off, right? Nope. Can't. Tv, three remotes and you still couldn't turn the freakin thing on. I know what you'll say, it's the Jersey Shore. I get it but to charge that much for that little is sad. It's gouging, you've got a convention, raise prices. Parking is an absolute joke. Then at Checkout they asked for a rubber bracelet back (used for transport van) I left it in the room. Also wanted some towel card which I found in their envelope, good thing because they charge you if you don't turn it in. I'd rather drive off the island and stay at a chain where I'm still disappointed, but for 1/4 the price.
