I love coming to wildwood its a memorable place for me. I decided to try the Gold Crest. At first the front desk lady questioned me about my car and service dog as I walked in. I told her I tried to email them about my dog but no reply. At first I was on the 3rd floor and than after settling everything up in my room a Knock on the door from a man telling me that I have to move because of my dog. For an extra $30 per night. I had to move everything to another room and it was such a hassle to my trip. Overall it's very family friendly and close to the beach. There was a loud concert going on across at the park and the police closed down the street. It was a hassle coming back to park again. Other than that people were nice and kept to themselves. Everything was close from breakfast spots to bike rentals to places to walk my dog. I don't think Id stay here again, I felt like it was a bit up tight. Would deff stay some where more welcoming. The rooms AC is a bit weird too. One room you would get super cold and in the living room its super hot. Water in the shower was nice. Bathroom also had spiders.

It's an OK place not more than that. Room is clean but the furniture is very old and you see that it’s not the priority of the manager. I don't think that buying sufficient forks, knife and spoon is a big thing. Even the pans are so small that you can't cook anything in it. The BBQ outside is almost working, either the heat does work enough or one of the burners is not working. The pool is not heated which is very sad because the machine is there. Overall it’s an OK hotel but when you pay 3000$US for a family of 4 and you get an average place, feels like Mexico is a better choice for next time. And for that amount can you at least ask your front desk staff to smile or be at minimum nice with us. Felt like we were bothering them more than anything.

When you requested assistance it was given immediately. Room was ready when we arrived. Beds were comfortable! The rooms have carpet and our toddlers feet were black....we all had to keep our shoes on at all times. No hotels should have carpets unless they are cleaning them in between each guest. Also our room had no toaster or strainer and the toilet was rocking and not connected to the floor. The Wifi was horrible and the TV was going in and out of service The table was very rocky and unlevel and one of the chair backs were broken. I always loved staying here but something has changed, not sure what.

Second year at Gold Crest for a week at the shore. This is a family friendly & relaxing place. The mini golf & table tennis are great when the kids aren't in the pool.The location is perfect! Directly across from centennial park where they have fun festivals & free concerts to enjoy during the evenings. Behind the park is the beach only a half block walk. The facilities & rooms are what you'd expect from a typical shore motel... dated & somewhat small in the rooms. A few minor upgrades would go a long way cosmetically. But if you're like my family, we only stayed in the room to sleep and were off adventuring at Water parks, the beach, amusement rides & boardwalk shopping only a 5 min drive. Walking distance to bike rentals and several playgrounds even a baseball field, tennis courts & basketball courts are just a few blocks away. The staff is awesome. Very friendly & attentive. If you're one who stays in the room more than venturing out then know that it is a standard motel with extra firm mattresses that may be a negative but they do have basic cable tv. Wifi was spotty so bring a hot spot if that's a deal breaker. Overall it's always a great week spent for family vacation.

The location of this motel is fabulous. We were able to enjoy a summer concert from the hotel patio that was across the street at Centennial Park. The quiet beach was a short walk away. The pool and mini golf were fun. Staff was welcoming and helpful. The only thing I would improve would be the quality of the beds that were a bit too hard and probably old. We loved that the motel was non-smoking. It was a great vacation for my family of 6.

The staff is so accommodating and very friendly. It is a great family owned and run hotel. Rooms are pretty clean. You do need to bring your own coffee or tea if you want to make it in your room. They provide a coffee maker but nothing to make. However, they do provide complimentary coffee in the main office in the morning. It is right across the way from a beach entrance which is so convenient, like a 2 minute walk! It is quite a walk to the boardwalk so you'd have to drive and park somewhere nearby, unless you don't mind the 15 minute walk to the beginning of the boardwalk. Overall, it was a great stay and we would definitely stay again!
