Wanted to give it 5, but for the price its lack of amenities knocks it down. Staff friendly and helpful, rooms clean, nicely designed, comfortably furnished, great views. Restaurant has very good food if you avoid the pastas. Beach and Boardwalk access on point, free parking spot with room a must. Lacking for price: no fitness center, sauna, hot tub, room service. Free coffee and cookies - but stops at 7:30am. Should at least go until 10 for a traditional Italian brekfast sans cigarette. Understand no bar- not legal there. Pool hours way too limited- closes at 8pm, should be 2am; at least up it until 12 on weekends. I suspect other hotels not so different. Glad we saw it, but point forward sticking to OC, Maryland, or Gulf Coast Florida . Much more bang for the buck. read more

We had our family reunion this past weekend at the Pan Am and we had the best time!!! This hotel is SO clean and everyone was so nice and helpful. We never needed anything they weren't already prepared for. We had our dinner in the restaurant and that also was so good, the staff were all so nice and the food so good. Thank you Noelle and Jenni ! The hotel is in a good location from the boardwalk and beach. We would absolutely stay again! read more

Online it doesn't look like much but in person it was a great! My room was amazing and I loved the view. Had the best experience ever. read more

For the price which is pretty much double most places in area it's not worth it.... No hot tub ... no gym... coffee not served in morning only free at night lol.... Rude restaurant staff and rude housekeeping .... Only one ice machine and it's in a dark basement !!! Cmon !!! Rooms are old and limited no coffee maker in some rooms ?? For the price here it's not worth it... noticed the upscale clientele changed the family vibe there .... Priced out the real people for them sadly an unfriendly rude lot... ladies in restaurant short hair gray hair and other one were rude dismissive .... Like I said for the price it's not worth it..... read more

Having worked in retail, I'm not one to leave bad reviews, but I feel obligated here. The place changed owners since the last time we were here. The menu for breakfast is so limited. To get eggs bacon and home fries is a la carte. The bacon was rough like it was microwaved. We come down this week every year and while it's off season it was always busy. Today it's dead. We are not coming back. read more

I would actually give it 2.5 stars due to the price of $500 per night (this is with an alleged group discount and we pre-paid about a year ago). The hotel was clean, but very dated with no amenities expected of a $500 a night hotel (no gym, no room service but there is an on-site restaurant, no jacuzzi). The pool closes at 8 PM, which is quite early. There is also no coffee maker in the room but they serve coffee in the lobby from 9 PM until 7:30 AM (odd times for coffee except in the morning). They should serve coffee until at least 10 AM. Our room was not even oceanfront or an efficiency despite the price. I would have given it 5 stars if the price were $150 per night. I noticed that the price drops to appropriate levels in September. read more

Beautiful entry way, nice clean rooms and a really cool pool. We had no issues and it was a very nice stay

Wonderful place I can't recommend it enough. After checking in at the Acropolis and seeing how awful it was the PAN American was a breath of fresh air. Staff was kind, rooms were impeccable, there was air conditioning. Next time we are at the shore we are staying here. read more

A throwback hotel from the 60s. If you're looking for something modernlike a Marriott this is not it. I will give it this it was a clean place to stay throughout our entire stay, amazing location to the beach, and a clean and adequate pool. And as an added bonus you get free basketball showcase to see up and coming nba  players since there's a court that had rec league games playing each night. read more

Was here (unfortunately) for only one night for a work trip. I loved this hotel from the second I called to verify information prior to arrival till I checked out. It was phenomenal. Their old school, retro decor was mirrored with customer service of days past. The most helpful, friendly, and courteous front desk staff you can imagine greeted us, guided us, and sent us on our way at the end. Although it was a late September trip, the warm weather allowed for some pool time and my mother and I thoroughly enjoyed the small bistro attached to the hotel for lunch on both days. Highly recommend and I look forward to returning someday soon. read more

Pan American Hotel - Second deck of the pool area. - Hotels Near Me - Wildwood Crest, New Jersey

We've been staying at Pan American for at least 8 years now for the Fireman's Convention. This year our room had towels with holes in them and they usually supply coffee which they didn't do this year. I know you can do better Pan American especially for the price. read more

Very very nice. Very clean and modern. My husband stayed there bec he was allergic to something in the house we were renting. He loved it and on our drive home some staff person called to tell him they found his laptop in the safe. They mailed it to him immediately which was great !!! Also in mid sept was $136 /night which was surprisingly cheap. On the beach . Reserve early and get an ocean view, might be more expensive but.... read more

We decided that this year was the year to try a new hotel for our wildwood stay. Pan American was a great choice. My daughter loved the bunk beds and that we had a balcony to see the pool. The room had a small kitchenette that we didn't get to use much however definitely something to plan for next time. The pool was heated, which was a huge plus since 2 out of the 3 days we were there it wasn't all that warm. The staff was friendly from our first interaction to our last. It isn't far from the beach or boardwalk but far enough away to avoid the hustle and bustle when ya want some quiet. We will be staying here again in the future. read more

This is the most magical place in Wildwood...we have been going for over 30 years! Clean and modern, always updating. Our children are now grown and coming back with their own children. We are treated like family! They have recently added some more seating, a front water structure and new entrance. Looks wonderful! It is like a private Oasis, steps from the beach, there is also a firepit to use and relax at night, a comfy lobby to get out of the heat for a bit, and of course Alosi's Trattoria owned by our dear friend Maggie, and her Chef husband and daughter Brianna. They just opened up an outside veranda, so you can enjoy the outdoors and sites. You will never go hungry...they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner- you are covered! Yum! My fav is the BLT but the turkey club is to die for! Hmmm burgers, milkshakes, italian ice ...lol! The front desk is the heartbeat of the establishment...from the time you call to make a reservation you are treared with kindness. Jim, the manager is always smiling and making sure your stay is perfect, Shelly and Sandy are just the best! Professional but friendly, always helpful and thorough...I have NEVER had an issue with my reservation...and when we have to leave, I'm planning my next visit before I'm even gone! Heaven on earth... read more

Been coming here for years. IMO the Pan Am is the nicest hotel in Wildwood. The staff is always welcoming and friendly. The pool is always spotless and the rooms are clean and well maintained. It's the only place I want to stay when in WW. read more

We have been staying at this hotel for a few years and have generally enjoyed our stay. The rooms are dated and a little dreary as you'd expect from any Wildwood Hotel, but generally clean. However, our latest stay was a big disappointment. The staff at the front desk are short, rude and generally unpleasant. The staff at the pool are lazy and lethargic letting giant stacks of dirty pool towels tower above the rim of the basket with no clean towels available. This problem has been persistent throughout out years here, they always say their washing machines are broken. We booked the room we have always stayed in with a particular configuration for our family. Our original dates were not available in this room, so we had the staff alter the dates so we were guaranteed the room. However, when we got to the room it was incorrect. They said they were unable to do anything since the room we actually booked was currently occupied. They offered us a smaller room with a worse configuration for the second day of our trip, needless to say we didn't feel the inconvenience of switching rooms was worth it. On the next day they again called us and this time offered the correct room, but by this point we were settled in and already upset with the whole experience so we opted to deal as little with the incompetent staff as humanly possible. But don't worry they gave us "free breakfast", although when we went down to actually eat we get the bill and they say the coupon isn't valid. That we should have given them the coupon early for a "special menu". What a joke. Thanks Greg, the "manager". read more

Always loved the Pan American. I am 50 years old and have been going to Wildwood for 50 years! Always staying in the crest, we have made the Pan Am our family beach vacation for 17 consecutive years. This summer 2020, with the pandemic, we had an awful experience at the hotel. They offered no housekeeping services, although some of our other family members staying at nearby hotels (Nassau) did. You had to leave garbage outside your room for pickup, which sat there all day. Towels and amenities were on request, left outside the door in a plastic bag. The front desk was also rude and the restaurant staff was worse! I was so shocked and upset how they really did not do anything to make accommodations and offered no concessions. So sad. After all these years it's time to move on. read more

Room was nice but faced a basketball court. Court was very noisy and bright from 7am to 11pm. They offered free cookies and coffee, but I never got to see any because they put it away by 7 in the morning. Who's waking up that early on vacation? read more

I just went for a feed days and stayed here. Let me start with good about the hotel. It is in a great location. The room though small king ocean view was very clean and nicely decorated. The pool area was very nice and the hotel is located right on the ocean. The woman who checked us out was very nice and very helpful. The hotels has a shower and changing room for guests who check out but stay at the beach. I thought that was awesome. The only negative I have was when we checked in. The young man behind the desk was not really helpful and offered no information about the hotel. I would go back to this hotel again! read more

Our family has been coming to the Pan American Hotel every year since 1972 and we will continue to do so. They make us feel at home there. Everyone is so friendly and family oriented. Every year they put money back into the Hotel with upgrades to make it nicer every year. We know all the staff because everyone has been there between 10 & 40 years, including the manager Jim who used to work maintenance in the 70's and now he's been running it for many years. Every year when I check out, I automaticall leave a deposit to come back the following year. My Kids LOVE THE PAN AMERICAN! read more

This was our 28th Summer here. Times change. It's expensive, the hotel restaurant is certainly not what it was 15 yrs ago, and the original owners are deceased. The new owners need to hear what their customers want, and they aren't listening. But, this is a part of my kids life, and we'll keep coming back til they decide on something else. Pretty much the general opinion around the pool. read more

We booked this hotel through Groupon and only paid $399 for 3 nights between me and my husband. When we checked in this blonde lady who was incredibly sweet helped us get set up smoothly! The staff are friendly and welcoming right from when you enter the lobby. The bistro was delicious for breakfast (haven't tried lunch or dinner), but the staff there were also just as great. The hotel is pretty clean and the deck is nice for sun bathing. I enjoyed the fact that the bike rental is pretty much just across the street and the beach is only a short walk on a bridge on the sand. Every room near the deck is ocean front then some of the side rooms have ocean front as well. The small deck you get it perfect size and clean. Everything feels new here I believe because they just renovated. I highly recommend this place and plan to stay here again when I'm in the area!! :) read more

Just wanted to say WELL DONE! Been coming down here for years and always stayed at a different hotel...well we had an issue and decided to try out the Pan American! From beginning to end this place is amazing...staff is so helpful and kind!!! The rooms were super clean...the pool and views were awesome! My family and I loved it so much that we booked it for our week for next year! We will definately be making this our summer hotel from now!!! And we are booked for summer of 2019!!! You guys are amazing and can't wait to spend 10 days there!!! Thank you read more

I have been coming to Wildwood for my whole life and the Pan American is the best hotel I have ever stayed in. Their service is fantastic, the rooms are very nice, and the staff is very hard working and very nice. I definitely recommend this hotel if anyone stays in Wildwood. 5 stars. read more

Been coming here for 7 years and I love it ! Beds are so comfortable as soon as you lay down you will fall asleep,it will be the best sleep of your life . Rooms are always cozy and clean. Staff is super friendly. The pool is heated and it's very close to the board walk. read more

Came here for a weekend getaway. There could not be a more perfect location! It's steps away from the beach but far enough from all the boardwalk noise (Boardwalk is still walk-able though!). The restaurant downstairs is great for brunch! I didn't get to utilize the pool but it looked big and clean. Our room had an ocean view and a balcony which made for a very relaxing trip. My only issue was that there weren't many other food options immediately nearby, you would have to go down to the boardwalk area. Otherwise, very clean, spacious and comfortable hotel for a trip to Wildwood/Cape May. read more

Honestly. The rooms were very clean. The beds were SO comfy. However, I found it a bit boring with no character. Staff was friendly enough. Guests were stuffy. SO expensive for what it was. Not worth the price. read more

This is my 4th year staying here with my family and for Wildwood it is definitely 5 star! The place is very clean the rooms are newly redone and the pool is fantastic. Very close to the boardwalk and on the shore. Do yourself a favor and splurge for an Oceanview 419 or 319 in that order, you wont be disappointed. The only problem is that parking in the garage is the absolute worst, though, truth be told I always pay extra for it! Have fun!! read more

I absolutely LOVE this hotel. I have been staying here since I was a kid & now I go every year with my family for our summer vacation. The staff is friendly & helpful & the rooms are pristine. The pool area is great & the hotel is located right on the beach & close proximity to the boardwalk as well. I LOVE those Wildwood days & Pan American will always be my families go to hotel for summer fun!!! read more

Beautiful hotel. Stuck up, rude staff. They made us feel very uncomfortable from the moment we got there to the moment we left. Why advertise as a "family" hotel if you're not kid friendly? We literally felt we were walking on eggshells every time our kids showed any bit of excitement. I mean, come on! They're kids, & they're on vacation! Honestly, we felt we needed a vacation after the vacation. Not a nice place for families with children if you expect to relax & enjoy your time away from home. Trust me. Go elsewhere. read more

I loved this place as a kid and it's still just as nice. The restaurant leaves a bit to be desired, but overall this is a great place to stay. The ocean view is spectacular. read more

I have visited the Pan American for a weekend at the beach for two years in a row. The first year, my husband, two kids and I stayed in a regular sized room, which offered adequate space for us. This past weekend, we stayed in an efficiency suite with a queen bed, sofa bed, and kitchenette. Our room was clean and offered a nice view of the pool. I felt the premises were kept clean, even the bathrooms. The ground floor restaurant is charming, and the staff is warm and amicable. We were close to a nice playground and right on the beach--a priceless convenience. I felt the rates were reasonable. This is no Hilton, but it sure ain't no Motel 6 either... My family and I felt completely at home. If there were more cable channels and a fitness center, I swear I could live here... read more

This hotel is gorgeous and has GREAT service!!! Yesterday was the first time I went and I will definitely be going back again. The workers were beyond friendly, kind, and respectful! Also I recommend getting your food there because the food was delicious and they even offered my family and I seats by the swimming pool. Speaking of swimming pool, the pool is crystal clear and beautiful and they even had life jackets for the little ones! Although they don't have lifeguards there, they let everyone know but the pool area was gorgeous regardless of having no lifeguard. The room was also very impressive and has great views of the beach and water! Not to mention the beds were very comfortable! The hotel is also right next to the boardwalk so if you and your family want more things to do outside of the hotel the boardwalk and the beach are walking distance away! Overall I totally recommend this hotel to everyone and it is great for the little ones! read more

EXCELLENT STAY! Enjoyed each day I stayed and so comfortable and such a nice and pleasant hotel to stay at. The location is perfect right near the boardwalk. I had absolutely no complaints while staying here. All and all a perfect experience and for sure will be staying here again next time I'm in wildwood! read more

We've been going here for years and I have to say that it is the cleanest, most friendly hotel we've stayed at in the wildwoods. When you arrive they treat you like family, the rooms are great, clean and always updated. Theres a great restaurant attached to the hotel, alosis where you will be welcomed by the lovely maggie or bree at the desk. We just love it here and will continue to go here. read more

The room was very nice, with several TV's, a small kitchen area, a king size bed, and several pull-outs. It has free WiFi, but it is a bit slow. I didn't go to the pool area, but it looked as if those that did really enjoyed it. read more

There site allows reservations made via discover card but they don't take discover card of ridiculous in my opinion. And the service and attitude of the employees is pathetic is you don't want to be here then quit and find a new job read more

This was the WORST week of my life. UNfriendly service, UNheated pool which was advertised as heated, small room for 4, no toiletry counter space, coffee at snack bar was $2.25/cup with NO refills, I can go on and on, esp with the cleanliness. dingy rugs in rooms and cracks in cement around the pool. Chairs around the pool were so close together that everyone was tripping around them. It was a waste of time and DON'T even get me started about the $! For $300/night, you'd think there'd be AT LEAST an internet connection. But no, I had to go to McDonald's when I needed to check in from a project at work. TERRIBLE experience, and there's no way to fight the "Wildwood elite like Mr. Morey. He owns the whole town and is so corrupt. This isn't even worth a low rating.I WILL NEVER step foot near this place nor would I recommend it to my worst enemy. They can stick their hotel and you know just where it needs to go;-) read more

I've been going down Wildwood Crest for over 40 years. I've stayed at several different hotels. The price was a little high for just a hotel room, but it's size, the separate balcony, the restaurant, where we ate several times was worth it. we will be going next year, but since my daughter is grown and it's just 2 adults, we will be going in september when, hopefully, there will be less kids there, it's a little cheaper and we'll get a bigger room!!! can't wait!! read more

This hotel really is as good as it gets! My family used to stay here in the 80's and early 90s. For the last decade my husband and I have been staying twice a year and each stay is better than the one before. Rooms are clean and any issues brought to the attention of the staff are addressed immediately. The desk workers( especially Greg), maintenance workers,housekeeping, the hotel manager ( Jim) are as helpful, polite, friendly, and accommodating as can be. Having Alosi's restaurant as part of the package deal is like the icing on the cake. Having access to that delicious food and friendly staff right in the hotel makes the stay even more enjoyable. We always look forward to the cookies in the lobby in the evening and talking to other guests and the staff. I rate this hotel 5 stars but do see areas where there can be a little improvement. The internet connection is spotty in some rooms. The hotel really needs more safe space for bike storage. Today's bikes have all kinds of wires near the handle bars and can't be squished too closely or the wires become loose/damaged. I see more and more people bringing many bikes per room, even off season when we are there. Where the current bike rack is provides great protection for our bikes. I'd like to see a few more bike racks in that area. I give this hotel 5 stars because I have faith that the owners and manager are always willing to make improvements. Get more bike racks and stronger internet connections and you can change the name to HEAVEN and get 10 stars! Thanks for another great vacation. See you in '20. read more
