Definitely recommend! I'm sad I could only stay there one night. Super clean. New. Pool area was on the smaller side but beautiful. I loved that they had the nice pool lounges and not the cheap ones. I was so sad I was only there one night and didn't get to enjoy the pool. The front desk and customer service were so friendly. I will definitely be staying there again. read more

Clean room. Terrific location. Great pool and great vibe and the front desk staff was wonderful! read more

I was disappointed with the customer service I received when I called with a question about modifying my reservation that had been made through a third-party booking site. The representative never identified himself by name, and when I asked to speak with a manager, he did not state whether he was the manager or transfer me to one. Instead, he immediately asked what I wanted in a dismissive manner. Throughout the conversation, he was rude, unprofessional, and repeatedly interrupted me, making it difficult to explain my situation. I found myself having to speak over him just to be heard. Whether or not my request could be accommodated, I expected to be treated with courtesy and respect. A professional representative should listen to the customer's concerns, communicate clearly, and maintain a respectful tone. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. read more

We typically stay further away from the boardwalk, but this place had decent reviews so we took a chance and it was ok. The couple who works there was very nice and welcoming. We checked in without a problem. The room charge was comparable to other hotels at about $300/night. The room is cleaned after three days (make sure you schedule a time with the manager in advance!) and the parking situation is a little unsettled. There are about 3 more cars allowed than spots, so you can get a pass for street parking but the main office closes at 8 pm. So, if you arrive after 8 and didn't get a voucher and there are no more spots available you're out of luck. Fortunately, we didn't run into this problem as we made sure not to use the car after 8 p.m. We LOVED the location. It was within walking distance to all of our favorite restaurants along with some good breakfast and ice cream stops. The upstairs neighbors were very loud and we heard all of their running around, but that's probably customary with most of the small hotels in the area. The bottom line is, we felt safe, the room was clean, and the pool was nicely managed. We would patronize the Dolphin Inn again. read more

Old motel from the looks of bathroom. Service and amenities are ok. I understand its not a hotel which I'm use to staying but I've been to a better motel. The rooms are very near pool which bad for sleeping at night. People like to hang out and chat even after 10pm. I never understand why management don't get rid those silly chairs and smoking area in front of every window. The pool is suppose to be heated but I don't think they turn it on in July even though the temps are 75 degrees and cool breeze. Parking is not guaranteed for all visitors. There are 30 rooms and each room is allowed to have one parking area but there are only 25 parking area so if u do stay here plan accordingly and try not to drive out later on as u may need to park off street and feed the meter. read more

Very Happy with our stay here!! This was the old Eden Roc Motel. The new owners did a great job remodeling this older motel. The place is very clean and the staff very friendly! Thank you to Barbie for letting us have an early check-in. We stayed in a room with a king size bed. The room also had a microwave, refrigerator and new flat screen TV. Bathroom was a tad small, but clean and plenty of towels. The only thing is you have to bring your own hair dryer. There is a nice well kept pool on the property. If you feel like cooking they also have two gas grills, and a nice picnic area. Location is perfect and the price is right. read more

This is one of the cleanest motels I have ever stayed at. It was very comforting to know they take pride in their cleanliness and comfort of guests. The pool area was very clean as well which made for a great stay. read more

Loved this hotel! Stayed her for a girls weekend and I couldn't have asked for anything better! The owner, Theresa, was wonderful! We arrived relatively early (around 11am) and even though check in was not until 3, she allowed us to check right in and get settled in our room immediately. She gave us a great restaurant recommendation - Dogtooth Bar & Grill, which was fabulous! She was also very accessible and told us to not hesitate to call her if we needed anything. The room was comfortable and roomy, and there was a standard size fridge instead of a mini fridge which was an awesome and unexpected plus. We were within walking distance of the beach and some delicious restaurants and a short Uber ride from all of the happening bars and Morey Piers. I would definitely stay here again!! read more

Booked 4 nights in mid August here for a good price compared to other hotels/motels I looked at in wildwood. Location is great, practically a block and a half away from the free beaches! Just note that this IS a motel. Rooms seem to be recently renovated and clean. Our room had a fridge and microwave and a flat screen tv with plenty of channels. Motel has a pool that's open from 10-8 and they offer a small grilling area equipped with utensils for their guests! Just beware that parking spots are very tight and it's 1 car per room. Overall it was a great deal for us and we would stay here again in wildwood. read more

I wish the room was all tile because carpet grossed me out. Full size fridge was a major bonus. Pool was a bit cloudy but swimmable. Staff was very friendly and overall I recommend Dolphin! read more

This place is top notch a class act and the hotel manager Theresa goes out of here way to make sure your stay is pleasant I would and have recommended my friends and family to stay at the dolphin inn THANK YOU THERESA for such a wonderful and pleasant experience I've met Theresa when she was manager of the white caps and have decided to follow her to the dolphin because of her dedications and needs of the customer read more

One of the best places to stay in Wildwood hands down! This was our first time staying there based solely on reviews and they were all on point! Top reason I'd come back is the staff. Everyone was so kind, treated me and my daughter very well, allowed us to check in early with no notice, warmed the pool water after the rain when we wanted to get in.. very pleasant!!! The room was very clean, maid service was great, not too far from anything.. I loved the family friendly environment and the music they play during the day. I totally get there is more to it and not faulting them for it, but if I could change anything it would be maybe an hour earlier for the pool hours - or at least leaving the gates unlocked to be able to utilize the outside tables earlier than 10am (we are early risers) but everything was awesome and we are already planning to return next year! Thank you guys!! read more

LOVE this place! I've been coming here for 3 years now and I never appreciated this place until I stayed another motel in wildwood and missed this place. The owner is a little rough around the edges but she has a Business to run! She enforces her rules and is available to answer questions. The rooms are cleaned daily and the air conditioner works well. The bathrooms are spacious and showers have a good pressure. The kitchenette is a nice addition to the rooms with a little coffee pot and some cups and plates. The pool is very clean and a good temperature. The patio is shared by all and the people that stay here are friendly. It's in a great location, away from the boardwalk noise and close to the beach just half a block walk. Prices are very reasonable and you really get what you are paying for. Grounds are taken care of and you feel safe staying there. Can't wait for this years vacation in August! Thanks Dolphin Inn! read more

Was my first visit and I was surprised I have stayed in other motels in Wildwood NJ but I would recommend this motel any day. Hospitality was excellent, clean and relaxing to stay at. read more

Dolphin Inn - Heated Pool - Hotels Near Me - Wildwood, New Jersey

Just got back from a 2 night stay. Think twice about this place if you have any taste or expectations of common courtesy from fellow guests. The floors were disgusting, felt like the carpets had never been cleaned. When I opened the fridge, there was food from a previous guest in there. I wiped up water on the bathroom floor and the white towel was then brown. There was nothing on the bed other than a sheet. No blanket, no comforter, and none to be found in the room. No one is in the lobby after 10pm, so by the time we realized it, we were out of luck for the night. On top of being cold all night, there were several parties that assumed the hotel was all their's and could care less that they were partying right outside your window. That went on both nights we were there. This place got one star because the people at the desk were at least nice and when I told them about the blanket/comforter situation they did bring some right away (though it was one blanket and one fleece fitted sheet?!) I also mentioned the noise issue, they said it would be addressed, and they gave me an emergency # if it happened again. Of course it happened again, I had to go outside at 1.30am to ask the party to keep it down. We called the emergency #, no answer. Pool was decent. If you are looking to sleep at a nightclub, enjoy. read more

Unfortunately, some of the worst customer service I have ever encountered. I booked a room online for a family getaway. Seeing how it is 2014, I had no concerns until I was emailed, the day before the trip, that they could not accommodate me. This after inputting my credit card information, being sent a confirmation email, with a confirmation number, rate info, etc. Upon speaking to "Barbie", the hotel manager, I was told that the confirmation number is not really a confirmation of anything. Then, magically, the hallway room I booked was available, she just didn't like giving it to anyone because there was no pool view, but she wanted me to pay a higher rate than I confirmed for, even though it was on the email (which she vehemently denied, so I sent her the email). I called back several times to no avail to confirm the rate and book the room, and received an email that the room I wanted magically disappeared once again. Please see screen shots below to see Barbie's super professionalism. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME HERE! So many other classier places. I removed my personal info for obvious reasons. read more

I can't say enough amazing things about The Dolphin. This was our first stay here. It's immaculately clean, and you can smell the clean when you walk in. Pam who runs the office is not just kind and friendly, but she is committed to ensure you have a great experience and a fun trip and is eager to offer great suggestions for meals, attractions and events. I booked our stay six months prior for an event in a nearby town, and without a reminder of why we were staying, when I arrived she gave me a typed print out of a short cut driving route that had less traffic. Very impressive. Very much a family atmosphere. From the moment we booked we felt like we were planning a trip to stay with family, not booking a room, and there was nothing missing here. There's a few great quality grills, a beautiful pool, and like the rest of the place, it's extremely clean. The location is prime, the price is reasonable, and the large TV, AC, large fridge/freezer and microwave worked great and were also VERY clean. I will definitely return to the dolphin. VERY impressed!!!!! read more

Pam took our reservations but it turns out Theresa was the new manager. She was a super nice lady, easy to talk to. She smiled a lot and made you feel welcomed. The rooms were nice and clean. The bathroom shower curtain was horrible in that it was placed so far inward that it stuck to you the entire time you showered. I suggested that she change them all to curved shower curtain rods which can be set outside of the tub at the top, while the bottom of the curtain is in the tub. This way it won't stick to you whilst showering. The room had nice elongated toilets....(can't stand the small round ones). The large flat screen TV didn't work the first night. It turned out that it wasn't plugged in...Once plugged in, I needed to get the maintenance guy to use the master remote to change the input...then all was good. There was a little stove top, sink, microwave and fridge in each room. The air conditioning was ice cold. The nightstand light in between the beds in room 211 didn't work. Lighting in the room was sort of dim as a result. There was a nice pool that closed way to early, 8:00 PM with no lifeguard. It would have been nicer if the pool area was opened at least until 10 PM since you're responsible for yourself and they aren't paying for the duty of a lifeguard. Right off the pool area there is a nice fenced in BBQ area with three grills and a table. Two grills were brand new. All in all, it was a pleasurable experience, though the walk to the water was kind of far, but hey you're in the Crest so that is to be expected. Oh, also....they allow you to park one car in their lot, but they gave me a parking pass to park at any meter in Wildwood for free. They only have a few of these passes which need to be turned in once you leave. The WiFi password didn't seem to work either....maybe it was just me. After all, you're not there to google....but to relax. read more

I booked a Friday-Sunday stay during the Wildwood Half Marathon weekend. I was nervous about booking in Wildwood, because many places look a little scary, but this place exceeded my expectations. For a motel, I got a CLEAN room with a FULL fridge and TV with a LOT of stations (in some HOTELS I have stayed at, I didn't get as nice of a room and amenities!) It was quiet. The look of the Dolphin Inn from the outside was nice and clean too, unlike many other motels in the area. The price was the most inexpensive in the area that I could find for that weekend. The pool IS heated, because in mid-May, it was warm. The hospitality was excellent. The woman at the desk was pleasant, helpful, and actually went beyond what she needed to in order to accommodate me. I live a few towns away, and was here for the race, but I would actually go back just to stay sometime, because the stay was made by the hospitality and cleanliness. read more
