Our unit was so small it was not comfortable. Bedroom was freezing cold and 2nd bedroom/living room was hot. It was clean, and close to boardwalk and beach.

We will pass on to our staff how pleased you were on the cleanliness of the room. You should not have had this issue because there is a fan that has to be turned on to circulate the air between the other room. The room sizes on listed on the website. There are larger rooms for you to consider for future days. Please visit us again.

There was a power outage during our stay. No electricity, no AC, no hot shower, and pitch dark in the night. We had to charge our phones in the car. The guests had to pay in full with cash. No discount or anything. I know that the power outage was not the hotel's fault, but we didn't get what we were paid for. Considering the price we paid, it's terrible and disappointing.

Hi Lisha,Your review is an unfair assessment of our business. There was a fire at the substation that provides electricity for the island. The entire island was without power due to the fire, which is completely out of our control. Every business, motel, homeowner, traffic light and street light was without power. Every single person on the island was dealing with the same issues. We couldn't accept credit cards because of the power outage. When you checked in, you knew about the power outage and you chose to stay because you stated you had plans and were not going to be at the motel much anyway. Thankfully, a majority of our guests were very understanding and patient of the situation knowing it was completely out of our control. Have a wonderful summer!

We had a great stay at the Condor! Excellent location. Right at the end of the boardwalk. Within walking distance of the first activity pier, but far enough away that it was quiet. Beach was fantastic--clean, safe, and free. Staff was excellent! Room was very cramped (deluxe with kitchenette), but that didn't matter as we spent most of the time outside the room anyway. Thank you so much for a WONDERUL vacation!!!

Property was close proximity to beach and boardwalk for what we needed, but I was not impressed by the room. It was extremely outdated with no counter space for much of anything. The bathroom had no counters, no shelves. You had to put your toiletries on the toilet lid. Looks like they haven't done much since the 70s.

Thank you for your review. We actually started remodeling the bathrooms this past winter. If you check out photos of the type 6 rooms, you'll see the work we've done. Unfortunately, we cannot do the entire building all at once due to cost, shortage of supplies and shortage of workers but we will do more once the summer is over. We are constantly making upgrades; new mattresss, tvs, appliances, wifi, etc. We hope you'll give us another try soon!

Not a happy experience
They did not have the kids listed even though I put them on when booking. They told me it was a hotels.com mistake and charged me extra for my kids so I ended up paying about another 100 even though we were all in same room. They have cameras all over and follow and watch you. Husband is very friendly and so is daughter but wofe runs the show and she is not friendly or nice at all. Pool closes at 6 while all hotels around are swimming till at least 10. All lights are off and place looks abandoned at about 8pm...In WILDWOOD. I had my faughter ther for a her 13th bday with a few friends. It was me and one ofther mom. They treated us like we were 21 there to party. Kids had to whisper in room at 9pm. Again we were in Wildwood. The rest of the island was partyi g around us while we tip toed. It was a terrible experience and as a advid Wildwood goer, I will NEVER stay there. Rooms were also old and musty. Stuff falling apart. Air conditioner was blowing black stuff all over the bed.

The Condor Motel promotes a family environment so all of our guests can have an enjoyable stay. We have a wonderful clientele of families who have enjoyed our clean and very well maintained atmosphere for over 35 years. The many positive reviews and return guests can attest to this. The building has a night light system that lights up the steps and walkways in the evening for the safety of our guests. You checked in at 11pm and those lights were on at that time. As stated on the website, the pool closes at 8 pm. Your reservation was confirmed and charged for four(4) persons. It is clearly stated that rates are based on four(4) guests and additional guests will incur a fee. When you reserved through hotels.com, you put in the number of guests that would be vacationing and that did not match the number of guests that checked in. At check in, when asked if you had additional guests, you did register and pay for two(2) extras but both you and your friend continually denied you had a third child with you. After several attempts to confirm the name of the third guest with you, we finally got her name on the registration, and as a courtesy, you were not charged. Not having all guests registered becomes a liability issue. The same way that you misrepresented yourself about the number of guests you actually had staying in the room, you are now misrepresenting our motel on a social media platform and it is not appreciated. Our staff was very accommodating of all your issues, as there were more that we are choosing not to disclose on a public forum. All policies are clearly stated on the website and all booking outlets, you just have to read them.

Yes, we are a nice motel and in a great location. Upon check in, all of our guests are explained about the incidentals that would be charged on their pre-authorization charge (which includes no smoking on the property). And yet, you violated the smoking policy. Because the staff made you aware of the policy, you said it was unprofessional and biased to you. Your opinion -- Ours is, we have a wonderful and professional staff.

Location is great. 1/2 block from beach and boardwalk! There is also a little playground at 16th and the boardwalk, good for the little ones. Parking is tight as usual with hotels down the shore. Ice machines cost money which is a bummer especially when you treck down with ice bucket and no money! The air conditioner was sufficient for the living area it was in, but even at the lowest temp, highest fan setting we couldnt get the bedroom below 77 °F (2 room efficiency type 4). Overall I would reccommend this room at this hotel and i would stay here again.

Great staff, need a massive renovation/update
For the price paid, I would have expected something a bit more updated. There was only one AC unit but we had 2 rooms so had to keep the bedroom door open and AC on full blast so the front room would stay moderately cool. Check in was a breeze. Staff was awesome. Location is good if you are there for boardwalk. But this place needs an urgent renovation.
