I grew up going to this motel since I was a child with my family. We use to spend a few days in July & August. Later on when I was in High School I spent a few summers with my best friend here. My last visit was in August 2005. Over the years I was longing for a vacation... More

We pulled up to the motel, not loving what we saw. The motel is run down, not having been updated much both inside and out for 15 years or more. We checked in, looked at the room and went back to the office to cancel our reservation. Big mistake. We should have asked to see the room first, cancelled our... More

My daughter made a reservation at this motel in June. She was unable to come that weekend. When she called to cancel, she was told that she would not receive her deposit back. It was not until she cancelled that they sent her an email concerning her reservation. At no time was she told of the cancellation policy. We were... More

We had previously stayed at Ocean Sands with friends on two seperate occasions. This year we decided to go just us two, and since Ocean Sands was priced much better than most of the other places and we were familiar with it, we decided to book there. We arrived early (we have about a 3.5-4 hour commute from North Jersey)... More

What a bad hotel. The only thing nice is that it is close to the beach. The rooms were dirty, there was mold on the shower curtain, the rooms are tiny and not as pictured. Our phone didn't work and neither did the stove. When we complained we were put off. We stayed one night which was supposed to be... More

We just stayed at the Ocean Sands a week ago and we were pleasantly surprised. We've stayed in Wildwood before, but we are not usually happy with the motels since they are so old - they usually smell bad & are damp inside. We stayed at the Ocean Sands for a week & we had a great time. The room... More

Absolutely under NO circumstances do you want to stay at this outdated dump. My family stayed there June 18-23, 2012, and I was actually considering leaving the second day, forfeiting the cost and going to another hotel. The original room we were put in smelled horrible, kind of like raw sewage, had electricity in ONE outlet, had nasty sticky carpet... More

This was our first family trip to Wildwood where we would be staying in a Motel for a weekend vs a house for a week. I'll admit between the low price and a few of the not so nice reviews I was worried. All those worries were gone when we arrived! We were greeted at check in by a very... More
