I was really impressed with my stay at the Stardust Motel! The location couldn't have been better--it's just seconds from the boardwalk, and there are plenty of bars, restaurants, and other attractions within easy walking distance. The room was very clean, the pool was well maintained, and the entire check-in and check-out process was quick and hassle-free. On top of that, the price was excellent for everything you get. It's hard to beat the value. The only minor downside was that the beds were a little too firm for my liking. If you're a side sleeper, you may find them a bit uncomfortable. The bathroom is also a little dated, but it's spotless and fits Wildwood's classic 1950s motel charm, so it actually adds to the experience rather than taking away from it. Overall, this was a fantastic stay, and I wouldn't hesitate to book here again. I can't wait to come back! read more

This room was very clean. I enjoyed the location. Only a short walk to beach and boardwalk.

DO NOT TRUST THE OWNER OF THIS PROPERTY he is a very mean / nasty man & a liar & in my opinion, a thief!! i contacted the property because i ran into a very difficult situation i sent an email since no one answered stating i needed to cancel my reservation but wasn't sure the best way to contact someone and wasn't sure how to proceed. without calling me or emailing me back , i got an email that my reservation was cancelled - with a receipt showing that my deposit was forfeited - i was going to wildwood in mid july for dance competition for my 6 year old for the first time ... everything was fine until i was told from my employer that i cant have the days off due to staffing issues (my problem, i know) i was able to get just the day she's dancing - found this out two weeks in advance to cancel. however i contacted the property and got the owner unfortunately on the phone. first of all he answers just saying "hello" - first red flag then i explained my situation, hysterically crying, and need to cancel so i can send my daughter with a teammate instead . he said there was nothing he can do to help me i asked him to leave as is if i can't be refunded the $183 i left for a deposit and see what i could do and he reinstated my reservation but said i wouldn't get an email for it i then called back and got him again. i asked him if i can't get refunded if i can just modify the reservation just for the one night so i don't lose the money & i was able to coverage for a day so i was less stressed (in the meantime i checked the website because i started getting anxious that i lost the reservation and my deposit and stressed about my job and doing what i needed to do. the room prices dropped $150 so instead of paying $550 it was $400 total) i mentioned that to the owner as well and he then started getting nasty with me. i told him i was struggling financially (clearly having employment issues & now fear of missing out and losing my job to choose my daughter over work) and if an adjustment could be made i would appreciate it - it clearly means the hotel is NOT booked those dates and they're trying to get reservations . he was very rude very nasty said i can't get my deposit refunded and i can't modify the reservation i said that there was nowhere that stated that a reservation cant be modified i understand the refund but i stated i would keep the reservation for the date i could have lost & to just cancel out the dates that were within cancellation policy - he continuously refused. he said no absolutely not i was getting upset and i said to leave everything the way it was and i would figure it out within the minute of hanging up i got a cancellation email and he has ignored my phone calls ever since. my husband also tried calling and he ignored his call too. this man had the utmost disrespect - i contacted him and told him the truth instead of trying to make something up. he's heartless and mean, he's a thief and NOWHERE IN HIS POLICIES does it say that RESERVATIONS ARE NOT MODIFIABLE. this man is a thief and doesn't deserve your business BEWARE if you choice. if you upset him or if he doesn't want to hear what you have to say he will IGNORE YOU & CANCEL YOUR RESERVATION THIS OWNER IS THE WORST!!!!! read more

See all

Stayed 3 nights here, very clean rooms and property and the staff was very friendly. This motel is very close to the beach and boardwalk which is great considering that is where we spent most of our days and nights. Our room had cleaning service each day, and it looked and smelled as clean as the day we checked in. We had a slight issue with the one air conditioner but it was looked at and fixed the same day. The rooms are a little dated but if you're like us all we did was use the room for showering and sleeping so it's not a big deal. Parking lot can get a bit tight, but overall this is a great place to stay. Very quiet and low key. read more

We stayed here for 2 nights. The location is fabulous; 1 block off the boardwalk. The staff was all very nice and helpful. The rooms are dated, as is much of Wildwood, but everything was clean and comfy. We saw bedspreads being washed, and they asked if we needed new towels or trash dumped...which the 2 of us did not. They own the Stardust and the Riveria (right next door...check in there), so you can use either pool. The pools were small but clean and with lots of lounge chairs. Our beds were firm and comfy and overall, the place was quiet. The window AC was a bit noisy, but it worked great and I like a little white noise! There are toiletries, but bring your own as these were not the greatest. Wifi was strong. There was no hairdryer in my room and they don't provide tissues. There's a fridge/freezer, microwave and coffee pot, but no coffee supplies. Overall, this is a safe and solid choice. Expect an older, basic but clean comfy place and you won't be disappointed. We will be back... read more

Nice Spot. About 2 minute walk to the Boardwalk. Comfortable and clean room. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Has a small pool that meant more for just soaking in. Free parking too. There is a microwave and refrigerator/freezer combo which is great. There is a coffee maker but there isn't a coffee bar that has any coffee or filters or anything which was a disappointment. I was going to call the front desk, but there isn't a phone in the room either. But overall was what you want when going to Wildwood and planning to stay again read more

Me, my husband, and my friend planned a 3 hour trip to wildwood and booked this hotel room in advance by about 6 weeks. A week before our trip I called and confirmed my reservation and was told we were all set for a two room stay for $139.99 Memorial Day weekend. After our five hour drive we get to the hotel and were told our reservation was cancelled. We called Orbitz who confirmed that our reservation was indeed active. They refused the room to us because it was a holiday weekend and for two rooms in the boardwalk they probably could get $250.00 a room per night. By pure luck ONE motel had a cancellation and we were able to book a one room with two full size beds or else it would of been three people sleeping in one bed. Our whole trip was almost ruined and pushed the nerves of everyone in my group. If you are booking a room here you have to do it with extreme precaution. I'm sure it's a great place if your showing up in person but I wouldn't risk any online bookings with them. Orbitz not only have us a refund of the difference in price from our booked room to the emergency room but they gave every person in my group a $30.00 credit to continue to use Orbitz. This was totally unacceptable per Orbitz and they corrected the situation. BOOK WITH CAUTION ONLINE! YOU MAY TRAVEL VERY FAR AND GET STUCK WITH NO ROOM!! read more

Friendly staff. Checked in and out in two minutes. Perfect location to the beach and Boardwalk. Free parking and wifi for guests. Ample parking spaces on site. Small pool. No bed bugs. Room was a bit outdated but clean. Two beds took up the majority of the room but the room size was fine for a couple...(Not sure about 4 people).Small kitchenette area with mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, two burner stove, sink and utensils. Tiny bathroom/sink/toilet/tub but at least there was hot water. Room had a weird smell. Pillows were comfy but mattress was stiff. Fine for a one night trip. Overall decent hotel for Wildwood, the price and the location. read more

Great place. Staff, Steve in particular was so wonderful. Close to the beach, stayed for the race of gentlemen. Would absolutely stay again :) read more

We stayed for a week in a double room. Recently renovated. Clean and well maintained. The location is the best part... literally one block to boardwalk in between 2 piers! read more

I have stayed at most of this owners properties loyally, year after year since before he even owned them. Due to the refrigerators running too cold (it was set much lower than the coldest setting), unbeknownst to me, my insulin was destroyed and I ended up in the emergency room with Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA), and had bad side effects for a month. Needless to say, my vacation was ruined. I sent a registered letter requesting at a minimum, partial reimbursement of my stay. I did not even get the common courtesy of a response. No "Are you ok" or a refund of any type. He may act friendly to your face but his actions (or lack of them) spoke volumes. BEWARE! If you take any medication that needs refrigeration, turn the coldness to 1. This year my husband and I are trying Ocean City, NJ. Wildwood, which I've enjoyed since I was 2 years old is no longer my "happy place." Thanks a lot for ruining it for me and my husband. read more

We cancelled our reservations this past weekend to the hurrican and the Race of Gentlemen being cancelled. We booked through hotels.com. They tried to work with Stardust for a refund. We were denied. I understand the non refundable policy when we booked and since we had every intention of going was not worried. But due to circustances with the event and hurricane, we cancelled. It took 2 days to get through to talk to someone. I called and they were very rude and customer service was not there. I asked for half the money back. Denied. We tried to email them and also texted a few times to see if there were open and no response. When I did get through, they were not even willing to work with us. They could of offered us to transfer the 2 nights to another time and we would of been very happy with that. Instead they denied denied denied and were not willing to help us out. Very disappointed. read more

If there was an option to give 0 stars that is exactly what I would give them. I not only work in the service industry and know how annoying it is to have a complainer but I HATE complaining myself and 9 out of 10 times usually keep it to myself. That being said, this hotel was so bad that I am on yelp right now to warn others to not go there. We got there early and they let us check in immediately which was nice because we were suppose to get our room at 4 and we were able to at 11 am. We dropped our bags off and immediately went to the beach spending 5 hours at the beach and then we went back to the room to shower and get ready for dinner. Our shower was broken we could not get it on shower mode, the toilet had a bar soap clogging it not allowing us to use the toilet and then the maintenance guy who was VERY nice came and fixed the shower. After we showered the Shower wouldn't stop dripping water. Then we noticed fruit flies swarming all over the room, we brought all of this to the guy at the front desk asking if we could just get our money back and he said "you got what you paid for" we also were unable to connect to the "free WiFi" they claim to provide for everyone because we were in a dead zone. He refused to give us any money back not a dollar and was so rude on top of it. As I was saying working in the service industry you never treat customers like that as much as they may be annoying you never disrespect them and this guy clearly had no manners or sympathy for how disgusting his hotel rooms were. I hope people see this and save themselves money because we didn't get any money back and we are on our way back home (2 hour drive) after a long day on the beach because of how awful they were. read more

I went on a trip there and even though my friend and I are under 25, John the manager accommodated us. He and his staff were very nice, the pool was clean, the room I booked was a decent size for the price, and everything was clean and organized. This was my first motel experience and it was a fantastic one! When I go back to Wildwood I will definitely choose this motel. read more

Let me begin with this is not a place to bring your family period. If your up for Spanish music blasting at a tiny pool, drunk people being obnoxiously loud and rowdy till the early hours of the morning, cigarette smoke every which way you turn and absolutely no management to regulate or enforce their own "quiet time" rules this is your spot. The rooms are sub par at best, we didn't have a shower head in our bathroom, and the carpet smelled like urine. I found a cigarette butt in between the sheets of the one bed, and watch one guy relieve himself off the balcony in plain view of a security camera. It gets kinda bad when the workers have to walk around with a spray bottle of bleach to get the mold off the deck. If you liked the movie animal house and are 21 or under.... Welcome! read more

The reviews & pictures of this hotel are straight lies & are totally deceiving!!!! The room was very small,dingy with a slight stink on the 2nd floor with only 1 way up & the same way down narrow set of stairs & oh lets not forget the bloody spot apparently left from the last guest i found on my supposedly clean linens in 1 bed & the long dark strands of hair left in the other bed i've slept better in my car.... very small pool that probably could only seat maybe 10 lounge chairs.....clearly not the relaxing weekend we had hoped for..... i don't recommend this hotel at all!!!!!!!! DO NOT STAY HERE read more

I loved this motel! The staff were so friendly and helpful. Very accommodating, even when I called to let them know we'd be late checking in because of traffic they were so nice. Check in was quick and easy. The room was so clean with a mini fridge, coffee pot, and microwave. They even left a pack of coffee to use for the coffee pot along with cups, nondairy creamer packets and sugar packets. My 3 year old son made great friends at the pool with other children and was constantly looking for his "friends". The pool was clean with plenty of seating around it. Super close to the boardwalk, like right across the street which made this trip so much easier on us with a cranky 3 year old. Great motel, great staff, and other friendly families really made this weekend great. This will always be our go to place to stay! read more

This hotel is perfect for a family stay at the Jersey Shore. If your interested in great service, good location and clean accommodations than this is the place for you. We would definitely return thanks to Victoria and her excellent customer service. read more

It was adequate. Room was clean and there was a full size coffee pot. Beds were uncomfortable. Pool was cloudy. It was really just ok. Overpriced but that's what you get at Wildwood. Guy at the front desk was really nice. He was working by himself and super busy but kept a smile. read more

Very convenient ! One block away from beach , boardwalk & Morey's pier . Would definitely return on are next visit !

I did not have the chance to stay here, but my dealings with management were, while momentarily disagreeable due to my bad temper, eventually disposed in my favor. Which I appreciate. read more

A clean motel, close to the boardwalk. Steve is a great guy who ensured that our stay was great! We will come again.
