“A gem near the ocean”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

We've stayed at American Safari at Wildwood Crest three times and have always enjoyed our stay. The owners of the American Safari also own and operate the Aztec & Gondolier hotels. They are conveniently located next to each other, and you can enjoy their swimming pools, etc. as well as that of the American Safari. It's only a block back from the beach and about two blocks from the boardwalk. They have cookies, and coffee in the lobby in the morning. Many times they've had special events like a pool party, hamburger cook off, etc. all free for guests staying at any of the three hotels. It's not a four star hotel, but the rooms are always clean, the staff is friendly, and the price and location make it an attractive place to stay.

“Great option”

I have to say that we loved the location of this hotel. It is small, and the pool is alongside the road and doesn't seem to pump out dirt very well, but it was a good place to stay. We liked the cleanliness and location but be warned that they are very unorganized. They charged me a deposit over the phone before we came and then didn't have record of it here so I had to show them on my iPad that I had been previously charged, so now I am awaiting the return on my credit card.

“Perfect motel location”

LOVEd AS motel. I have been coming to WW all of my life. We have stayed in various locations. This by far was the best motel in a LONG time. Staff is super friendly, motel grounds were immaculate, (we watched them clean all day) location couldnt be any better..dont have to drive you car very much at all. We had a very large group of family staying between the 3 motels. Enjoyed the Sunday night pizza party with entertainment. Nice touch for all the guests! Just wish internet was free. We have vacationed in many places and this was the 1st time in a long time we had to pay for internet....so I didnt!

“Great Place to stay!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2011

We had a great stay here! Room was very clean! Our room had a Living room w/ TV and a kitchen w/ a sink, 2 electric burners, microwave, toaster, coffee marker and a fridge w/ freezer. Came w/ dishware everything you would need. Had a bedroom w/ TV and two full size beds and a couch that pulled out as a third full size bed. The owner was very nice too.

Room Tip: Third floor had best view of the water!
