It was a lot of fun. The room was very clean and nice. The views from the balcony are awesome. The pool is deep about 9 feet. There's a barbecue area, its good for cookouts. The boardwalk and beach is 2 blocks away from the establishment. the staff is very kind. Its a great experience over all. So coming back next summer.

Great spot to stay in Wildwood. Location can't be beat, only a block and a half from the boardwalk and beach. The area is packed with restaurants and nightlife. Room was perfect size for our group (only 3 people). Not sure if all rooms are the same size or not. There is a pool on a 2nd floor deck with a couple grills. Definitely would recommend using this spot for a trip down the shore

EDIT: This was originally a 1 star review, but after a great talk with the building owner I've changed it to a 4. Building staff is very friendly, under new management, and focused on keeping things clean and nice. The pool deck and lobby reflect this well. The problems listed below are due to Island Reality's cleaning team (or lack of one apparently) and the condo owners. Rooms look like they were last remodeled in the mid 80s, and last cleaned months ago. The room was absolutely filthy on the inside. Dirt and dust everywhere, bathroom is in desperate need of a good cleaning, the appliances weren't even plugged in, the carpets look old and ragged, and the entire place smelled of mildew and water damage. I've seen roadside motels that had a better quality of cleanliness. The building owner seemed determined to fix these problems thankfully

Great location in the heart of everything, just parked in the hotel and walked. The room was nice, it was clean had 2 beds and a pullout couch. It was a little older but it served the purpose, and was clean and comfortable, new toaster oven and microwave. The pool area is nice and well maintained, and Kid friendly.
