This place was a disaster! Let's just say Jean the "manager" if she can be called that, is a real piece of work. Let's start from the beginning, you must use cash, money order or paypal to put down your deposit, which I was fine with. I chose paypal so I could deal with it immediately, per Jean she said use the friends and family so you don't incur a fee...well turns out she wants you to use friends and family so YOU are responsible for the fee, instead of the business, so I paid an additional $8 because Jean is greedy. OK, so right off the start I'm a little annoyed. I check in after being told the room sleeps 5 when I booked, to find out that it only sleeps 4....interesting as this was mentioned to Jean when I first was booking. At 11:30pm at night, she offered my "additional friend" $150 to sleep on our floor, as a favor!!! Seriously? $150 to sleep on the floor in the hospitality industry is an absolutely ridiculous thing to say. We found her another place to sleep last minute to avoid the additional fee, but it was less than inviting to say the least. Unfortunately, since Jean had already taken our money up front, we were stuck with the Crestview, otherwise we would have joined our friend somewhere else as well. Since there are no pictures of the rooms online, let me fill you in on that....walls are plastic tiled from floor to ceiling...half of which are falling off the wall. No sheets are provided at this "motel" either, so $275 a night with no sheets is a bit pricey if you ask me, though Jean kept assuring us that no where else in Wildwood during "peak season" would be cheaper....turns out that's a huge LIE!! We found several places afterwards with cheaper, nicer and closer to the beach accommodations for around $185, so sorry Jean, you are out of your mind for thinking that's the case. Additionally, it is a mandatory 3-night stay during peak season and we were only planning on staying two nights, I agreed to third night as we were booking last minute which was fine, but my friend that was with us planned to stay until Monday, she was not allowed to stay in the room even though she was originally part of our group, so to be clear, even though we are checking out early and she was with our group and we paid for the third night, she still could not use the room she paid for, yes you read that right, the bed sat empty the last night even though it was paid for by our group due to Jean's ridiculous "no substitution policy." On the first night of our stay, a strange maintenance man saw us pulling beach chairs out of our car at 11pm at night (we were rearranging our car at the time to fit stuff) he comes over to us and states we're not allowed on the beach past 10ish...I'm not sure why it was any of his business to tell us that, or why he felt the need to creepily watch us fixing our car, but the way Jean and creepy maintenance man hounded us all weekend, it seems as if they are a way too involved in people's stay. On the last night of our stay, my fiance's wallet was stolen from our room as well....this place is very fishy, as the windows to our room did not lock at all, so it's very interesting that his bag with the wallet was underneath a window while we were sleeping and wake up and it's missing....After checking out I called the Crestview to request a copy of the rental contract which Jean forces you to sign when you check-in...BE ADVISED WHEN SHE ASKS YOU FOR YOUR NAME AND PHONE NUMBER TO GIVE YOU A "WRISTBAND" TO STAY AT THE MOTEL, YOU ARE SIGNING A CONTRACT, which I didn't realize at the time that you don't get a copy of it! When I called to request the contract I had signed, she claims to have already shredded it (no more than an hour after we checked out) I then asked for just a blank copy for my records as it is something I signed, and she refuses to even send blank copies, as it's against policy. Well, with as many policies that Jean has in place, it's miraculous people stay here unless your in a last minute situation like I was. Overall, as someone who travels constantly for my work, I expect to stay at a few "bad apple" hotels as I call them, but this takes the cake....and I've stayed in a hotel with a power outage and shooting in the same night....the CRESTVIEW WAS WORSE THAN THAT!! NEVER STAY HERE, JEAN IS CRAZY!!! read more
