    We stayed here overnight recently while on a roadtrip. Unfortunately, we didn't get to experience it during the height of the lively Wildwood beach season when the pool would be open and breakfast would be served. But the location is good and the room was clean. The worst part was how bright the room was when trying to sleep because of the outside lights. Between that and an uncomfortable bed, we didn't sleep very well.

    I'd have to say, I truly have no complaints about this hotel. 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.

    Growing up in suburban Philadelphia, our summer vacations consisted of trips "down the shore" to Wildwood where the boardwalks were filled with condoms and needles. We used to go on those "haunted house" type rides and lay on the beach surrounded by hairy Italian men. After many, many years of being away from the Jersey Shore, not much has changed. We didn't know where to stay now, since my parents weren't getting a hotel, so my boyfriend found this place. It definitely stands out from the rest of the shitty 70s era hotels. Instead, this is a throwback to the retro 70s era hotel. So instead of that puke green color that all 70s appliances had, this hotel has retro patterns, like a space-age lounge pad. I'm thinking of the artist Shag well-dressed girls with big beehive hairdos, Tiki idols, and pink elephant cocktails. The room we stayed in was fairly cheap--around $90/night. And you can stay in an Airstream Trailer which is parked across the street. The strange thing is that it looks like it's in the backyard of a house there. When we went, the price of the Airstream was the same as our room, but it had already been booked. The only thing that sucked was the vomit that was collected on the side of the pool. Thumbs down, upchuck!

    I've been going to Wildwood since the early 1980's, and I have been used to the fact that the motels in the area are pretty bare bones. Plus, with a family of 6, it is tough to find places where we can stay comfortably without going to the Crest or North. I've been curious about the Starlux for years, but had always been staying somewhere else. But this year I stayed with my family for the first time and loved it. The staff was wonderful; the room was spacious, clean, and fun; the pool was really nice; and it was a big plus to have the game room and breakfast. Not to mention the free washer and dryer - very helpful for a big crew. And there was free wifi, a big fridge, microwave, sink, as well as dishes, plates and silverware. Plus, it was a nice perk, even though we didn't take advantage, to have the option to borrow bikes, beach stuff, etc. The two bedroom suite fit us nicely, and we had a balcony with a view of the boardwalk and Rio Grande Ave. Nice location, too. I can't see staying anywhere else when we go back.

    Vintage air streamer ROCKS..!

    This hotel ROCKS..! The check in is a tiny one person front desk serviced by a gentleman who is dressed like and favors crew members from the the 70s show "The Love Boat." We got the air stream and I'm glad we did--the children were in awe of the vintage fully functional (and air conditioned) design . It is highly private with a little patio with faux palm trees and retro outdoor lights. We were even able to park our car right beside the streamer--convenient because we were only staying 1 night and did not want to have to lug our suitcases out of the car only to have to do the same thing again in reverse the very next day. We have access to the hotel amenities for free--continental breakfast, pool & supplies, paddle-board, and bicycles. We were also given an amazing rate on the new mini-golf course that just opened next door. We are across the street from the boardwalk--meaning no driving so I could enjoy a glass of wine prior to dinner. We will be back..!

    We stayed here three nights. This hotel is in a good location, right up against the infamous Wildwood sign. Parking is free, which is very convenient since you are walking distance to the boardwalk. Rooms and pool are kept clean. The included breakfast consists of small pastries, bagels, and small muffins, all of which were just ok. Drinks included coffee, apple juice, and orange juice. Although the hotel advertises beach chairs free with your stay, they are limited, so I would suggest bringing your own if you have room. I had a few other minor issues during our stay. There is no draft guard at the bottom of the door into our room, allowing quite a bit of noise in. Thankfully, there wasn't too much noise after midnight. I also thought our bed was pretty hard and uncomfortable. I woke up each morning quite stiff. However, my boyfriend had no complaints about the bed, so that may be personal preference. All in all, I would consider staying here again.

Needing only one night I tried to book something we could walk to dining. Arrived about 1:30 to see if we could check in early, we could. The front desk lady was funny and personable.

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.

    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.

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.
