I have been at the apollo 3 times. I have dealed with the same person,and overall have had 3 good vacations.The view is breathtaking if you can afford the ocean front suite.The side suites are nice and get lots of sunshine during the day.This Motel is right on the Beach! The rooms are ordinary but have a good view of the ocean from the side where I stayed.2 TV standard deal good couch. Im gonna try the Diamond Crest this year wish me luck ,happy vacationing!

“Terriable”

Ive been coming to wildwood for atleast 30 years now and this is the second time my family has stayed at the appollo. Besides being overcharged and asked for a $20.00 remote fee the rooms smelled liked a wet cellar. I book atleast 15 rooms a year for family and this year was the worst. The management was so bad that I happened to of had a room on the third floor and the second day I was there my appendix ruptured and ended up in surgery for a few days and in that time my family tried to work with management to see if they can somehow change my room from the third floor to the first! They would not work with us at all! they told us it was our responsiblity to change with someone else that came with us! I tought that was very unperfessional!
they also say parking for residents only! BULL!! you cant even find a parking spot near the motel and when you ask mangement were to park they tell you to park on the street!
Anyone that reads this I truly hope you reconsider booking with this motel because they are the worst business people ive ever delt with.

She was charged the quoted rate, not one cent more. We ask for a $20.00 key and phone deposit at check-in, which is refunded at check-out minus the phone bill if any. We find this to be an excellent way to insure the return of the room key at check-out. She had a new room on the 3rd floor which didnt smell. She asked to be switched to a 1st floor room after the surgery, so our staff tryed hard to accommadate her, however that was not possible, as we felt it would have been wrong to kick a guest out of a 1st floor room who was already settled in. one of her party had a 1st floor room and we suggested they switch rooms, so after looking at their room she decided to keep her 3rd floor deluxe room instead of taking one that was 20% smaller, thats how badly she needed a 1st floor room. We have enough parking for all our guests. This was their 2nd time at the APOLLO, which means they must have been happy the 1st time.

“We loved the apollo”

Our family goes to the Jersey shore every year and we always stay at the apollo motel.
The Apollo's location is perfect, it's on a very nice st. it also sits directly on the beach
(no streets to cross) and the motel has southern exposure all day. Their rooms are very nice
and everything seems brand new and the deluxe rooms are gorgeous. the maids are nice and
friendly and they do a great job and the family that ownes and operates the motel are very nice,friendly and fair. also The pool is heated and clean.
We highly recommend the Apollo Motel.

“Never Again”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 October 2005

people found this review helpful

We booked the room for 2 nights for a total cost of $180.00 as part of a soccer team in town for a tournament. When we got there we were also hit with a $20 key and phone deposit. We open the door, PHEW the stench of mildew about knocked us over. We opened the only window in the room, which of course the handle was broken on to air out the place. The rugs were old and torn in places the shower only put out a fine mist. Which when you have long hair as I do, it just doesnt cut it. I brought along some things to cook up, after all we did pay to have a small kitchen in our room, hmmmm, THE STOVE AND COOKTOP DIDNT WORK EITHER! The place was so filthy I made my husband go out and buy bleach and I cleaned everything before we could use it, the toilet seat had dried URINE on it. I talked to others that rented from our group most had the same complaints, smells, bugs just plain nasty. As for the laundramat..... ITS 1 WASHER and 1 DRYER, try to get soccer uniforms clean and dry for consecutive games with that!!
PLEASE if youre thinking of going to Wildwood AVOID this place at all costs!!

Upon first reading this review in oct. 05 I immediately checked her room. Her room did not "smell". She calls the window handle "broken". It was missing one screw, which was replaced. She calls carpet with two loose strings where the carpet meets the kitchen tile "old and torn"? The showerhead was found to be clogged and was cleaned. The stovetop was not "broken", just its pilot light was out. Yes we have one washer and one dryer which is more than most wildwood motels. If anyone needs more there is a laundromat about 1/2 mile away. We ask for a $20.00 key and phone deposit at check-in, which is refunded at check-out minus the phone bill if any. We found this to be an execellent way to insure the return of the room key at check-out. Our maids are excellent and our rooms are very clean, and if she asked we would have sent a maid to her room to clean it extra clean. We never heard one complaint from her, or these minor problems would have been corrected immediately. Most of our quests are repeat customers, and many have been reserving their rooms over a year in advance every year for decades.

“it was just ok”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 September 2005

The only things that really bothered me about this motel was the size of the pool. It was small! On the web page and in their brochure it displays a nice size pool that extends all the way to the beach. It doesn't, there is a parking lot in front of the pool. Also it says it is heated it may have a heater but it was never put on, even when asked to.

Not a bad place to stay if you don't mind a bit of a shabby room. Although the kitchenette rooms were quite nice.

Our pool is 16 feet wide by 39 feet long. Its 9 feet deep at the deep end, with an integrated kiddie pool. There are no pictures showing our pool to be oceanfront.
