Best Motel in the Wildwoods

Reviewed By nipperphil01

I've stayed in many motels in Wildwood, mostly in the Crest, and the Adventurer is the best one yet. This was my first visit and I was so impressed with my room. Oceanfront, 3rd floor, corner with outstanding views. The room looked like it had just been completely renovated - spotless (rugs, furniture, walls, bedding, towels, etc.). The kitchenette with full-size refrigerator, coffeemaker, toaster, microwave, all spotless and fully stocked with plenty of glasses, Corelle dishes, pots & pans, and plenty of silverware. Plenty of extra bedding and towels also. I especially loved that the private balcony was totally private with solid side walls and covered & you could fit 2 lg. chairs & a small table on it. I am so glad I had this beautiful room to stay cozy in since I was there for Mother's Day weekend with the worst weather (Nor'easter) for 3 days. The underground garage was also a saving grace! The front desk staff were very pleasant and the restaurant food (breakfast) was very good. I really hope I can return again soon & be able to enjoy the outside.

Very Welcoming

Reviewed By timkondziela

We booked as a mixed business and pleasure stay and could not have been happier. Upon arrival the front office staff was very friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Our room was very clean, up to date and prepared for our arrival. The support staff, housekeeping and maintenance were friendly and professional. Access to the beach was very close. There is a beautiful park and playground for children across the the street. The pool was well maintained and there was ample parking on the premises. Super place to stay.

Reviewed By pguskuma

I feel it’s a good location, quiet for families. It’s a 4 minute car ride to the boardwalk. The room was decent & Met our needs. We grilled almost every day. There were 3 grills that were cleaned meticulously, twice a day. All staff were friendly and helpful.

Average Motel Stay in the Wildwoods

Reviewed By BAToland

We stayed at Olympic Island Beach Resort for a long weekend (Friday - Monday). Seeing that this hotel (really a motel) had 4.5 dots as a rating, I think I set my expectations much higher than they should have been. Below is a summary of pros and cons that will hopefully help someone considering booking this motel. To set the expectation of this review, I will usually stay at Hiltons and Marriotts when traveling. Pros: they offer a cash only discount which saved us some money, the room was clean (no obvious stains or bugs), the location is great - right on the beach, the pool area was nice and it is a big enough pool that you did not feel crowded, free parking, had a breakfast/lunch restaurant on premise (we did not eat in, but did get a few drinks from the takeout window), the TV had Direct TV service. Cons: the room was very outdated and small, there was a musty smell to the room, the lighting was not good (very dark), our room (217) was right next to the elevator so you heard the beeping at night/early morning, the bathroom was tiny, the pool was only open until 8 pm so no nighttime swimming, the advertised free WiFi was non-existent (the room was also a dead zone for Verizon data), the towels were old, thin, and tiny. Even with the cash discount, do I think I got what I paid for in terms of value? No. Was the room functional and a place to sleep at night? Yes. Should this place advertise themselves as a resort? Absolutely not - there were no activities or special touches that would make it a resort. Simply stated, this is an outdated motel that needs a lot of updating and should not cost nearly as much as it does. But that is just my opinion and prices are determined by demand. Would I stay here again? Probably not, but that is based on my typical standards for a hotel.

Front Desk Receptionist

Reviewed By luisarZ5897VL

Memorial Day 2022 was meant to get away from the crazy life we all have been enduring these past few years. Our stay was ok, room was clean and ok. We did not spend anytime in the hotel as we enjoyed the beach. Only on the last day after our boardwalk visit, after 2pm to be exact, we came back and inquired about the use of the restroom. We asked if the kids could use the pool even after we had checked out timely, the lady said yes and we were grateful as it was a beautiful day and we wanted to wait for traffic to die down a bit more. An hour into the kids playing in the pool the lady said to me that we needed to leave because we were no longer guests. We understood and politely starred gathering our items. Getting kids out of a pool takes time and the pool was only occupied by another family, whom they were playing with. My wife and I started chatting with other guests and the receptionist came out screaming at us, in front of our children and the other guests. She said that we had to leave immediately and to get out. We had been staying here for 4 days 3 nights. Barely used the facilities and I understand that is not their problem. The point is the lack of RESPECT, COURTESY, TACT!! Our kids were scared and asked why this lady was yelling at their mother. Completely unacceptable and this alone ruined the end of our family trip. We are very busy professionals who never would carve out time to write a review, but in this case, it needs to be brought up to management's attention. We love supporting small businesses and our State's economy by traveling. We do not find this behavior to be in line with even mediocre customer service. WE WILL NOT STAY OR RECOMMEND AGAIN.
