End of season stay
Being that it was an end of season stay, i guess everything was ok. Restaurant on site was not open, which was one reason we wanted to stay there. Rooms are small, compared to other places we stayed. Bathroom is in need of upgrade. Very close quarters. Fridge didnt work very well, wasnt very cold to keep leftovers or drinks in. Room was clean, basically, but with no rug, you could feel the grit or sand on the floor. Cable system for the TV and channel selection is absolutely awful. Housekeeping does a good job, but on our third day, we had to go ask for clean towels. The whole outside property area is in need of a good cleanup, but again, it was the final days they were open for the year.

I would have liked to have had curtains to block the outside lights. I sleep better when it is dark. It was comfortable and plenty of room.

When we first entered the room, the smell was terrible we had to leave the door open. It was a mixture of urine and mold. You only got one towel per person, if you wanted ice you had to pay $5 for a bag, there was a coffee machine in the room but no coffee. The room needs a lot of improvements, everything is old and the smell is terrible

Response from management on 17 Sept,2023
Dear Guest,We appreciate your feedback regarding your recent stay at our hotel. We are deeply concerned about the condition in which you left your room upon departure, which has prompted this response.It appears that there were some issues with the state of the room and your behavior during your stay. We did notice that the room was not in the same condition as it was upon your check-in, which raises concerns about the care and consideration for our property.Unfortunately, the linens provided to you were damaged beyond repair. This included stains from makeup and other liquids that made them unsuitable for future use. We believe in maintaining a high standard of cleanliness and comfort for all our guests, and this incident has placed an undue burden on our housekeeping staff.In light of the damage to the linens and the extra effort required for cleanup, we have had to withhold your entire damage deposit. We have documented this incident with photographs and a detailed housekeeping report to ensure transparency and fairness in our actions.While we understand that incidents can happen during a guest's stay, we want to ensure that all our guests have a pleasant and comfortable experience. Regrettably, we feel that it would be best for both parties if you explore other accommodations in Wildwood proper for any future visits, where you may find an environment that better suits your needs.We sincerely wish you the best in your future endeavors and hope you have more positive experiences during your travels.

Don't let the paint job fool you the way it fooled us. Though pictures of this motel make it look shiny and new, the insides of the rooms are terrible. The beds were awful and so uncomfortable, pillows were flat and they provide no extra pillows or blankets. The bathroom was old, toilet didn't flush, sink did't drain, shower was weak and ran either scalding hot or too cold. We booked 2 nights and only stayed for one night. I couldn't sleep another night on those beds. They also charge you $200 hold for excessive dirty-ness or stains on towels. We made sure not to leave a mess so as not to end up losing more money to this place. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Our stay at Tangiers was overall very good. The bathroom is dated, but functional. Nice pool. Management is very friendly, as is the staff. One of the main draws to this motel was the on-site cafe. We were disappointed to find that it hasn't been open for some time, per a motel regular. Aside from that, everything was perfect for our weekend stay.

Just an over nighter
We were in Rm#302, during our stay. The attendant checking us in, was pleasant. We arrived to our clean room, the bathroom door knob was very loose, we kept the door open during our stay and reported it to staff when checking out of our room. The mattress for the bed was way too hard for myself or my husband. I was looking forward to eating breakfast in the coffee shop to find it was closed. It was one of the reasons. I booked here.

Dirty and had a very musty smell. The beds were very hard without any bedspreads or blankets on them , only covered with sheets. The bathroom was very old and outdated. We had to hold the handle down a few seconds just to get the toilet to flush . The cold water handle would continue to leak even though it had been turned off. They need to put some money in this motel to update and have it professionally cleaned .

Stayed for 3 nights. 1 adult and 3 teenagers. This is the perfect motel if your just looking for a place to sleep at night. Clean rooms, close to the beach, great pool area, slight walk to the boardwalk, lots of things to do in the immediate area. The hotel manager is so nice, we arrived 4 hours early before check in and she let us park in the lot and use the pool. And on check out day she offered the same. Overall great beach motel, we’ll be back!!

The floor in our room was sandy & we hadn’t even been to the beach. The very out dated plumbing & decor. The staff gave our room key to someone else & had to go retrieve them. They just seemed very unorganized.

My family and I have been coming to Wildwood Crest every year for the last 15 years and this is the first poor rating I have ever given. I arrived around 9 AM to be greeted by the manager of the property who is extremely disrespectful and nasty. I had asked for a parking pass due to arriving early. We were traveling with a family member who had called and gotten permission to park at the property earlier in the day. She asked me what was wrong with me for arriving so early and threatened to cancel my reservation. I never raised my voice or spoke in a disrespectful way. In addition, I had two separate reservations because I added a night after I made my original reservation. I requested to have my two reservations combined, and she replied by saying she was unable to look at my reservation or help me due to the early hour, which again was 9 AM not 5 AM. We stayed three nights, and none of the days was my room serviced. My entire floor was, including my family members room, which was a few doors down. Obviously, this was intentional. With that being said, the rest of the staff was very friendly, including the staff at the café. The surrounding area is awesome And the hotel is located close to the beach. I highly recommend staying in Wildwood Crest and visiting, we love it there. I recommend staying at a different hotel, I will not return to this hotel, and neither will any friends or family based on the treatment I received from the manager.

On the day of your arrival, you arrived at the front door at 8:50 am, which was 7 hours before the check-in time and 1 hour prior to check-out. Additionally, you arrived before the front office had opened, which was unexpected. However, we regret that we could not accommodate your request to park on the lot, as it goes against our documented policy.During our conversation, we explained that we have 50 rooms and an equal number of parking spots, and at that particular time, we only had one vacant room from the previous night. Our parking lot is also shared with our onsite café, which has received numerous awards for its excellent food – we're glad you enjoyed it!After reviewing security footage, it was clear that while addressing your concerns, our staff remained courteous and respectful throughout the interaction. You mentioned that your sister had received permission to arrive early, but after reviewing our records, we found that no such permission was granted.When you made the request to combine your reservations, we acknowledged your request. However, at that particular time, our staff had not yet had the opportunity to review the day's check-ins as the office had not opened yet. In hindsight, it would have been helpful if you had contacted us on the day you added an additional night to your reservation to inquire about the possibility of staying in the same room.Upon reviewing the check-ins later in the day, our staff noticed that your request had already been taken into consideration, and arrangements were made to accommodate your stay in the same room as requested. We always strive to fulfill our guests' preferences and make their stay as comfortable as possible.We would like to address the concerns you raised regarding the housekeeping service during your stay. After a thorough review of the situation, including discussions with you and the housekeeping staff, we found that there was no indication that your room was not serviced as requested. In fact, the housekeeping reports clearly documented that your combined reservation was treated as a service, not a check-out to a provide seamless stay.Management convened a meeting on the morning of your check-out to carefully examine your claim, and it was confirmed that you did, indeed, receive the service you had requested. Furthermore, during your interaction with the front desk staff the previous night, you acknowledged having received fresh towels and other amenities, and you were even offered additional service, which you declined.We understand that you may have had expectations based on your experiences at other establishments, such as a Disney Resort you mentioned, but it is important to note that each property operates differently and offers varying levels of service. As a Jersey Shore Motel, our services are tailored to meet the needs of our guests while maintaining the standards of our establishment.Our check-in policies and restrictions are readily available on our websi

Tangiers Motel was a vintage, very convenient, and enjoyable place to stay with my daughter and another family (in two different rooms). We loved how close it was to the beach, there was a kitchenette, and the staff was friendly and worked with us (they gave us adjacent rooms). It worked well for our two night stay.

We were in NJ for Beach Blast and decided to stay away from the noise of the board walk area. It is nice and quiet at this hotel! You can see the ocean from the 2nd and 3rd levels and it is a short walking distance til you're on the sand. The only issue we had was the ceiling leaking (literally raining) water in the bathroom in the early morning. It did look like it has happened before based on the cracks in the ceiling, but I could be wrong. They gave us some towels for us to clean it up ourselves and said they took care of whatever the issue was in the room above us. It didn't happen again after that. All in all, I would stay here again if needed. Rooms are clean, area is quiet, it's a very short drive or within walking distance to alot of stuff! And the owners and workers at the front desk were super nice. Pool area is also very clean and relatively calm.
