Isle of Palms, Wildwood

We go to Wildwood for a yearly family vacation. Now that our kids are grown, the grandkids come too. This place is very clean, very roomy, comfortable and affordable. The staff is wonderful and very eager to help in any way. It is a great location, close to the boardwalk, beach and ride piers. We have stayed at many places, but this ranks as one of the best. We will definitely make it our first choice for next year!

Called to reserve a room, the lady showed signs of deisbelief on the phone that I was actuslly going to show up with my wife and kids, even after giving her my CC#. Place is a basic shore hotel of the 60's 70's. AC in the front room, too cold and nonexisant in the back room. I think they got the bedding and towels from a homeless shelter that was going out of business. Room looked clean from 20 feet away but gross up close. The boardwalk after a busy night is cleaner than the bathroom floor. Found a used cigarette but folded in the extra burlap blanket for the foldaway sofa bed. The Fire alarm sounded the morning of our last day. Desk clerk was panicing, alarm didnt seem to call the fire dept. after 20 min the alarm just stopped with no explanation. The elevator was out of service due to tha alarm and no one knew how to reset it. We were told of a complementary continental breakfast when we checked in but the coffe shop was closed every time we went past. Place would great if someone just put a little effort into it.

The rooms are very old, walls are cracked and peeling and not kept well. Pillows were flat as pancakes, towels are old and rough to the touch, and the toilet got clogged. They locked the pool earlier than they have the signs posted. To top it off the elevator broke they day we were leaving and had to lug our bags to the car. Location was the only plus. The A/C unit is in the front room and hardly reaches to the back bedroom. Thought I was back in the 60's.

Upon arrival the pool was green and dirty, the a/c heating unit was not sufficient for the room, the beds were good if you like backaches and the towels were like sandpaper. we will never stay here again.
