Room balconies facing pool
Lenny C.

Great beach location! The double that we stayed in was small, but had kitchenette, tiny fridge and balcony to beach. Some rooms face the beach, and some the pool area. They also have grills in pool area if you feel like grilling. Very young and super friendly front desk staff. We had breakfast at their restaurant and food was good! The restaurant is run by Sal's Pizza, and the food and staff are great!

Pretty family resort Efficient and friendly staff Ample parking for all guest View of the pool and ocean are just wonderful Front desk area is really pretty and welcoming The cafe can be better, meaning more lighting and better plates/serve-ware The room we had did not have AC but the front desk provided us with a fan for the weekend which was useful because it was hot the weekend we stayed there. The pool is beautiful but the day we decided to go in someone pooped and ruined that pool day for everyone. The pool staff and maintenance team came as soon as they were notified of the issue and took action. Management as well took action but it's unfortunate that grown people don't know better. If children are going into the pool there should be a separate area for them to avoid these unfortunate issues. Other then that our weekend was quite lovely.

Stains on bedding

Where do I begin?! We booked our room and cabana for July fourth week, we switched to this hotel because it has bbq grills and because of the small children we travel with we don't go to restaurants..well huge mistake!!! We check in three rooms we requested same floor NOPE we are are all on different floors at opposite ends of hotel! We also requested the room on 3rd floor because we needed a tub (not all rooms have a tub) we have 2 babies it's a must! NO TUB !!We booked ocean front 2 bedroom! One of the bedrooms is so small you can barely get a suitcase in and a pack and play for the baby oh a no tv in that bedroom! Went to the front desk to speak with manager who is always in a meeting LOL he's actually hiding from complaining guests! He says they don't guarantee rooms but over the phone they did!! We also booked a cabana for 5 days, we were staying for 7 days but we didn't need the cabana first day since you can't check in until after 3 and we didn't need it check out day...I have the email that says we have it for 5 days and they screwed that up and rented our last day to someone else,, customer service is horrible I'm in a room that sleeps 6 with 2 blankets no extra pillows for pull out sofa, I called front desk for a blanket they say come get it we don't deliver so one of us goes down and we don't get a blanket we get sheets WTF..and they actually note your account that they gave you sheets! I'm so disgusted by this place never again will we come here or recommend, Everyone by the pool was complaining and won't be returning! This hotel need a new management that understands how to accommodate paying customers! Dirty room also stains on beds!! Gross They do have a movie night and a Dj by the pool a couple of days he was great ! Light bulbs out Microwave doesn't work ..bed bugs Another thing to be aware of is this place isn't baby friendly or handicapped friendly, stairs and gates everywhere hard to get around with a stroller or wagon!! p.S trying to talk to the manager Jermaine is a joke, he has zero interest in making anything wrong right ..very arrogant and none caring!! We will look elsewhere as we come to WW every year for 30 years..worst experience we've ever had!

Maids do not refill or replace toilet paper. Note the dirty bandaid they left for us on the floor- how kind!

This place is filthy. I don't even know where to begin. You certainly don't get what you pay for. For just another $200, we could have stayed at The Grand in Diamond Beach. The maids only empty the trash cans, that's it! They don't bring clean linens, they don't replace tissues/toilet paper, they don't vacuum the carpets and they don't make the beds. They still ask for tips, though! If you want a hair dryer here, you have to ask for it at the front desk. They have a game room but none of the games work. They will just eat your quarters There are grill tools you can borrow at the front desk but they don't even check to make sure the previous guest washed them. So nasty! Never again!!!

Starlux Hotel - 2queen beds

Starlux Hotel

(71 reviews)

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.

We were visiting Wildwood and stayed at Starlux Hotel. It has great proximity to the Wildwood…read moreBoardwalk and Convention Center - literally across the street. It's also walkable to several restaurants, but note that many are closing for the off-season. Bedsheets and towels were clean. Lights and blinds were a little dusty. Facilities, particularly the bathroom, were a bit dated, but everything was exactly as advertised - our room looked just like the pictures on their website. Water pressure and temperature in the shower were good. There was no fan in the bathroom for ventilation, but there was a window. Toiletries were minimal, but they did have mini shampoo, lotion, and make-up wipes. The room also had a small tv, mini fridge, coffee maker, microwave, iron, and hairdryer. There was also a room safe. Walls were thin. You can definitely hear noise from the surrounding rooms. We heard knocking from the room above us and could also hear when they dropped something on the floor. I would say our room was also poorly lit. There were some good amenities - WiFi, outdoor pool, free parking, bikes, and beach chairs. There's also a complimentary coffee/tea machine available 24/7 and a juice machine (the juice dispenser is not on 24/7, but is a nice offering when available - apple, orange, cranberry, and strawberry kiwi). There was also a toaster available in the break area (but BYO bread). There's a small indoor rec area near the pool, which has a billiards table (pool cue sticks and balls are available at the front desk). It's a good little hangout spot since there's not a lot of space in the room. Our room had a small desk and one chair - not a lot of other seating options besides the bed. They do offer bigger suites with a kitchenette, etc. When the weather is nice, there's a pop-up coffee trailer, Kohrs Bros ice cream shop, and the Starlux mini golf course (not included with your stay) next door. Staff was friendly - shoutout to Anna who helped us get checked in. Starlux met our needs and the location was great for going to the beach and exploring Wildwood - it's also much more affordable and less congested than Cape May.

Summer Nights is a clean, comfortable B&B that is a cut above in North Wildwood. Thoughtfully…read morenostalgic touches throughout this well-maintained and managed property make it a great choice for lodging on the shore.

But, oh. Those summer Nites! (Tell me more, tell me more....)…read more My wife and I have never been to the Jersey Shore. I had booked a spot for Corvettes on the Boardwalk in Ocean City and needed a place to crash. But where? I found Summer Nites and from the pictures it looked like a beautiful seaside mansion. Sold! We arrived on Saturday night for a two night stay. Sheila greeted us and proudly showed us her home. The theme throughout the home is the fabulous 50's. We're shown into the kitchen and it is a beautiful recreation of a 50's style diner. Each booth has a few quarters to play the authentic jukebox loaded with, yep! 50s and 60s style records. I had that bad boy crankin' the Beach Boys and Frankie Valli. There is a working Coke machine (with dimes in a can) grab yourself a bottle anytime! There are two working hot tubs on the property and the front porch has rocking chairs to sit and relax. In the garage, Sheilas husband has his 57 Chevy waiting to cruise. Sheila & Rick are car people too?? Very very cool. Each morning we were greeted with an amazing breakfast. To start, a large fruit cup and freshly baked muffins were waiting for us. I poured myself a coffee as I was served a delicious homemade waffle and sausage. This has to be the best Bed & Breakfast I ever stayed at. Our room was the Marilyn Monroe room. Lots of Pink! When I walked into the room, I didn't know what to expect. My wife filled up the Jacuzzi and used the bath bomb in the water. After a 10 minute soak, I can understand why JFK kept Marilyn as his side piece. We checked out on Monday, we were the only guests in the B&B. Sheila sat with us and we talked about the future events at Summer Nites. Sheila, I can honestly say we had a great time and cannot wait to return next year.

This is a long post, but hope it helps anyone considering the Fleur…read more Our stay here in August '22 was our second year. We were so impressed with everything we just had to come back. Like everyone else has said, staff is very nice, from the front desk to the maids. Especially the latter, they even set my younger son's stuffies in different positions each day after making the beds, so it's become something he's fond of and wonders every day what they'll do next. They do come around very early -- by or before 9am when we're still making breakfast, hey we like to sleep in on vacation!! -- but I've never felt that they were put off by it, we just put the "service required" sign on the door, go to the beach, and it's always been very thoroughly cleaned by the time we come back for a late lunch. The room (type "E") was on the 3rd floor again as I had requested the year before, and they even moved us down closer to the shore end of the building as I'd requested this year! These rooms are very nice as you can see in the site pictures. But it's the things you wonder about, whether they are as good as you could hope -- double beds are super comfortable (memory foam it seems, with good support for my creaky back), AC/ventilation is great in both front and bed rooms (we keep the fan running as my wife and me are used to fans and the noise helps us and the boys get to and stay asleep). Bath is great, never had problems with water/temp/pressure, and even though it's a little cramped it's still fine. Plenty of towels! Clean! Nice hardware! They provide plenty of pans/pots/utensils for making basic stuff, but I suggest bringing your own metal grill spatula and tongs to save having to borrow one from the front desk each time (which they happily will do). Their grills are great. The cooktops in the rooms work great too, and the fridge is plenty big enough to hold everything we need for a week. They provide both keurig and drip coffee makers (including the paper filters), just bring your own coffee. Nice big LG TV screen with DirectTV, plenty of channels, but who needs TV when there's the most beautiful beach, wonderful salt water pool, bike rental just a couple blocks away, several restaurants nearby, and that fantastic boardwalk a few more blocks away. The MonsterCone ice cream truck always visits the block each night, best (and reasonably priced!) ice cream you'll find other than Kore Bros on the boardwalk. For breakfast or lunch, the Tangiers across the street is really good. The Crusader next door is also decent. I love Mexican/tex-mex, so several short blocks away is Bandanas, HIGHLY recommended. For frou-frou food, I hear Alosi's at the Pan American a couple blocks up is nice (but expensive). The Do-Wop breakfast/lunch joint is also within walking distance, not to be confused with the Do-Wop restaurant on the boardwalk (which is really good btw). So, now for the ONLY thing I've had an "issue" with when staying at the Fleur the past two years mid-August: there is a group of families who've rented out several first floor rooms, and they seem to stay at the hotel all day in the pool area, drinking and having "fun", but they just take it over. And several of them set up and play cornhole on the sidewalk right next to the parking where our car was, drinking the whole day long... I changed from second week of August last year to third week this year, and they were still there anyway.... The mid-sized pool (which includes a cool spiral water slide for the kiddo's) is so crowded throughout the day by them that my boys don't want to go in. We look longingly at the near-empty Nassau or Tangiers pool across the way and have started thinking... But none of this stuff is the Fleur's fault at all. Just timing, and you can't choose your co-guests. So are there better motels to stay for the price and quality? Maybe. I've read/heard the Aquarius is pretty nice/competitive, and the nearby Starlux is also top-rate (it's a Morey's motel after all), both of those are further up on the boardwalk stretch to boot. I love love love the Jolly Roger (I stayed right down Palm Road from it as a kid in the late 60's and always went to their movie night!). Maybe it's a better deal, and the Tenaglia's are a fantastic family-owner business, but it's further down the Crest. Not so much of a biggie since there's the Jitney Surfer shuttle to the boardwalk if you don't want to drive (and who really wants to), but it is an older property with commensurate "issues" like in-wall A/C that may not cool both rooms as well, quirky retro-deco you might not like... whatever. Bottom line, you really can't go wrong staying here. It's a great stay, and the beach location is perfect. Really hard-pressed to find a better place than this. I'm getting the feeling we might try some place else, say "Meh", and just come back to the Fleur.

Great location. Parking was a little tight though. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff…read morewere friendly and helpful. I would stay here again.

Visit Date: July 28, 2025 into July 29, 2025…read more My boyfriend's family was staying here for their Summer Vacation. My boyfriend was there from Monday to Wednesday, my son and I came out to stay Monday night into Tuesday and we left Tuesday night because I had a notary class the next day on July 30. I did love it here, my one issue was not enough parking. They only allowed one car per room to park on the property. I had so much stuff with me because I was not only packed for one night in Wildwood but packed for the next week without my son in case I ended up sleeping over anywhere. I usually don't sleep over anyone's house but my sister's but I always carry extra clothes on nights I won't have my son in case I end up being offered to sleep at a friend's house or something I'm prepared. So because of my issues with being prepared and having too much stuff when I found out I couldn't park at the hotel I had a mini heart attack on the inside. When I got to the hotel, I had to figure out what I needed and unload my car and than I ended up parking the car 3 blocks away. I am not sure if they can arrange more parking, I don't know if it's possible but it's the one gripe I have. The room my boyfriend, son and I stayed in had a king size bed. I bought a cot for my son to sleep on but my son ended up at the end of the bed because he didn't want to sleep in the cot, I ended up in the middle of the bed and my boyfriend ended up at the other end of the bed. The 3 of us fit lol. The room had a kitchenette. I love the rooms with the kitchenettes. I like to bring groceries with me on trips so I can save money on food out so anyplace that has a kitchenette I love. I bought regular coffee to brew and were dismayed to learn they had a keurig, if I knew that I would have bought some of my disposable k cups with me. It ended up being okay they had starbucks k cups that they provided and I was more than happy to drink that. They had a pretty nice pool. I didn't get to visit the beach but I heard they provided beach accessories. This hotel was also located at the end of the boardwalk and very close to it. I would stay here again if I were given a chance.

Monday - Checked in. Like all hospitality businesses they are under staffed. So we needed to wait…read morea while till the rooms were ready. We met the two ladies working to get our rooms ready. Couldn't be nicer. They were through, and needed to ready what looked to be 20+ rooms. I suggest you be patient, if you can't then go home. We waited by going to get some lunch and a walk. Our room was clean, clean linens and towels. We brought our own pillows and blankets. If you can't figure that out from the reading the other reviews then go home. Our room had 2 double beds very firm mattresses so if that's a problem bring a pad. I've read enough reviews to know what I'm getting and don't act so surprised. We parked in a single spot and they do have additional parking up the street. So stop whining about the parking. Simone the manager was very nice and we chatted for a while. COVID decimated this town and it these places are trying to get back to making a profit. So tip your housekeepers. There are 2 of them so leave 10 a night. If You're from Jersey then you tip hard. If you're cheap then shame on you. You stay here because it's convenient, clean and you like being around people. The partiers, crowds and noise are all part of it's charm. You don't come here to get rest, calm and solitude. If you want that then you're in the wrong state. If you grew up in Nj like I did we'll share but we won't shed a tear if you leave unhappy. We love this place. The inconveniences are all easily overcome. We book early in the year so we get great prices $141 a night. $500 less than if we booked now in July ($635 vs close to $1300 w/taxes & fees) for the same 4 nights Mon-Fri. I've read the reviews on all the major sites for the place. Most seem to be from those who are unable to manage their own expectations. They see problems I see it opportunities. We will be back again in the fall and again next summer. We really love it here, and you can too if you choose too.

This was the most horrible hotel/motel experience I have ever had…read more Upon arrival the office was locked and there were no hotel staff to be found. We had to call Tony (the manager) to come to the hotel to check us in. He arrived dirty and rude and grumbled through checking us in, charged us an additional made up "resort" fee, and informed us that the "piggyback parking" meant that if another guest parked behind us we would have to attempt to locate them ourselves to have them move their vehicle. Upon entering the room we were assaulted with the most horrendous odor, picture a combination of stale cigar smoke and urine. The room was filthy dirty: sticky, sandy tile floor, clumps of dirt in corners, dead bugs under bed. The bed frame was repaired with duct tape. Mold on box spring and pillow cases, and on air conditioner. Save your money and your health! Sleep in your car!!
