    My family stayed at this place for years when I was younger. The staff is friendly and they keep the place clean. Great amenities and a great view of the beach. Right by the boardwalk too.

    Really not sure why there are so many negative reviews for stays during a pandemic. THERE'S A PANDEMIC OUT THERE PEOPLE! Things won't be exactly like they were before. We took a family trip here (planned last year) and had 5 rooms - 20 total people and the hotel itself was exceptional and very clean. Drive by some of the other hotels in the area, this is definitely one of the nicer properties. It's an excellent location, right at the start of the far end of the boardwalk with beach access as well. The rooms are all large suites and fairly updated with a private balcony. The balcony can fit 2 people comfortably to sit and read, have a drink, etc. We were in room 215 and had great easy access to the sun deck and steps right down to the pool, spots where we spent most of our time. There is a restaurant on site to grab breakfast and lunch which is nice - food was pretty good, pretty basic selection. Reading reviews talking about there being too many people walking by your room, or not allowing drinks at pool (not true we were all doing it just don't bring glass and you're good) are pretty comical. The tv/cable definitely needs to be looked at, static and blurry channels for some reason but it didn't bother me much since I was on vacation and not spending time in my room watching tv. The elevators are also painful, thankfully we were on the 2nd floor so we just took the steps. Try to stay on a low floor.

    We didn't stay at the hotel but we ate at the restaurant inside the hotel on the first floor. The food service was good. Our waitress was nice she took a picture for us when our food came.

    [741] We decided to try a new Wildwood Crest Hotel this year. Stayed here for a week in July. Right off the boardwalk and across from the ocean. We picked the Ocean view/pool side as it has an unobstructed view of the ocean. It's on the side of the building so not a direct view but that's ok. There is a small patio which fits two chairs and a small table. One parking space per family unless you reserve a larger room. We decided on the D room floor plan as it has a separate sleeping room (well it's separated by a accordion door). Our room was on the smaller size as one of the beds were sideways and not directly next to each other. Plenty of dresser space. Bathroom was small so only one person at a time. The kitchen has a full side fridge, electric top and microwave which worked for us. The building has a restaurant which was always packed. It has a laundry room. The pool was large and nice. We really enjoyed the pool. There were a few outdoor spaces which was great as we sat outside and played cards. Plenty of luggage carts to borrow. The two elevators were slow and HOT. We took the stairs many times. Air Conditioner worked in our room, but it struggled. We had it at 61 degrees and it felt like 75 which was comfortable. We really liked this location and will be back.

    Pros: Location, right on the beach. Private balconies. Restaurant on site. Large rooms with full kitchen. Top sundeck. Cons: Extremely slow elevators. Top sundeck furniture is ripped to shreds. Parking garage is very tight. Restaurant is overpriced. Staff wasn't very friendly. Room smelled musty. Tub did not drain when taking a shower. Bathroom light was not working properly. Most of tv stations were full of static and no sound.

    Thick dust on bathroom baseboards

    We have stayed at the Adventurer multiple time in the past 18 years. It's inexpensive and a hop skip and jump to the beach. However, we noticed that it is not the cleanest place to stay. Our most recent stays we were upset with how unkept the room was. There is a very musty smell throughout the rooms. The bathroom was a disgrace. The toilet needed a very deep cleaning. The ring inside the toilet was unacceptable. The baseboards had a thick coating of dust. And there was black mold on the shower wall. We did our best to clean the room with the supples we brought with us. We actually left the room in better condition than we found it. The front desk staff is top notch. If I could give them a side rating it would be 4.5 stars. Super friendly! Hope they retrain the housekeeping on the benefit of a clean room.

    Yummy salt water taffy at check in.

    Really 3.5. Amazing location. We had an oceanfront suite room with fabulous ocean views, from sunrise through moon rise. You cannot beat the off-season price for this room. Could sleep 6 if necessary. Check in was smooth with a delicious bowl of salt water taffy right there to welcome you down the shore. Hallways very well done with ceramic tile and Wildwood themed photos. Right next to entranceway to boardwalk. Decent little pool and sunny exposure into late afternoon. Sundeck above too. Some parts of room updated. Older coach and chair need to be replaced when they can. Bedspreads old. Kitchenette fine and we like having one. These are the fatigued aspects, but not terrible. We did not eat in restaurant but looked clean and nice. But nothing like that oceanfront balcony. We would return off season for the value and the location. We would try summer too if we could get a price point for us. Right on a gigantic and gorgeous Crest beach.

    This hotel is a convenient place at the tip of the boardwalk and could use a little help. I don't dislike it fully but I probably will not stay again, but I'm bougie when it comes to my hotel room. House cleaning definitely has to be better. They need to care about this hotel. It has a lot of potential. Pros: Nice pool Great view Affordable Friendly staff Plenty parking Nice sized room with mini stove full fridge double room. Cons: Dated hotel Room semi dirty Dirty Linen Elevators tough to get to your floor with so many people.

    Nice glassed in area poolside that has TV's

    Stay: midweek, early May. I consider myself exceptionally lucky to have seen their FB $50/night special. I stayed three nights. I had an incredible first night's sleep and awoke and went to breakfast in their wonderful restaurant. My server was Christine from Romania and not only was she very nice but she's a very good server. Everyone at the front desk has been wonderful. Shout out to Mary D. Who went above and beyond acquainting me with what this part of Wildwood Crest has to offer. Two friends of mine stayed there the second week of June and had an equally pleasant stay. I usually stay further up in the Crest at a friend's motel but as they are not open preseason this will be my new place to go in April and May, Especially if they run another Facebook special.

    The hotel is well maintained and has great views of the beach. The room was clean and slightly dated but it's more about the shore and being out than staying inside :) I think all rooms have a balcony which allows you to enjoy the area even more when you are in the room. Heated pool with plenty of lounge chairs with another sun deck up some stairs. There is also a nice covered area to sit and relax if you want to get away from the sun. The hotel is at the very beginning of the boardwalk. You get the best of both worlds at this location, close to the fun but far enough away to just soak in the beach life.

    View from room- shame on the neighboring establishment to let it get this way

    Pros: Location, staff, room was clean. Restaurant on site is quick & food decent. Pool is nice as well as upper decks. Cons: needs updating, ac struggled to work, balcony is small, view was good as long as you ignored the garbage on the street across the way, which is not hotel's fault, parking is ridiculous spots too small, needs to be reconfigured. Elevator way too slow easier to use stairs. I'd go again if updates are made

    Been staying here for a few years now, wouldn't think of staying anywhere else. Supper clean, super nice staff, very nice rooms, underground and out door privet Parking. Can't beat the location less than 100ft from the start of the board walk and. Even closer to the beach. Don't hesitate about this place just book the room and you'll be thankful you did. Can't wait to come Back next year.

    See all

We have been coming the past five years so we were excited to have a nice time . We were trying to put our children to bed and baby to bed at midnight after a long day on the boardwalk when there was banging on our wall 3 times scaring the children. I called down to the front desk to report the banging and they told me that we were making noise and to be quiet because the room next to us were complaining, even though the front desk never called us once to say they were complaining. I informed them that we were trying to get two special-needs children and a baby to bed and we are doing the best we can. This was all in the span of one hour. The front desk called my room twice at 1:15 and again at 1:30 am in the morning telling us the room next to us are still complaining even though I told them we are trying to get them to bed as soon as we can. I informed them that my children were going to be falling asleep within 15 minutes and they told us if they were still making noise at 1:45 am that they would call the police or make us move out sleepy baby and autistic children to a "room next to no one" at 2 am! We were so upset and crying, trying to be very quiet and she woke up my baby with a second phone call. I talked to the manager the next day, and he apologized and told us it is not protocol to call the police unless it is a life-threatening emergency . Our children were scared, and we were very upset and he promised us to "do something to compensate us for the first night experience to make things right and to contact him when we checked out. On the day we checked out Saturday I asked for the manager and he told me that we would not be compensated because we "Trashed" the room and damaged a toilet( We called maintenance about the toilet because my autistic nephew threw a toothbrush in there and they fixed it and retrieved the toothbrush and it was working when we left the room.We spent one hour cleaning the room, collected two bags of trash, washed all the dishes, put all the towels in one area , did not have Maid service because of the children are scared of people coming in the room which I didn't even have to because they have made service included in the hotel stay. I said how did I trash the room when I did all that cleaning? they said well there was wrappers on the floor and a little bit of shampoo spilled in the living room. I was so upset. I asked to speak to the manager's boss in which Josh the manager told me " The only person ahead of me is the owner and I will not be giving you their information and you cannot contact them" when I asked for the phone number. This hotel is HORRIBLE to stay at If you have children with special needs, lie about providing compensation when they are wrong and then try to blame you on checkout for a "trashed room" just to get out of promised compensation . Please do not stay here if you have children with special needs it was very traumatizing for all of us, and I will never be returning to this hotel again!
