Pros. The facility was very clean and the employees are awesome. The manager (well who I think is the manager) manages 2 hotels The Star Lux and Blue Palms. He gave me the most convenient rooms (probable wasn't intentional but...) I could possible get and they both were great. Star Lux has a separate living room and a small kitchen area. If you never had a suite before you will love it, but for people who never book anything but a suite (like myself) it is what's expected. Outside is gorgeous. The have a small greenhouse like space with a sitting area and TV's to watch. It's very clean inside and is a great place to relax. I love the fresh air that breezes by and natural light. The pool is nice. It's not large, but you shouldn't expect that here anyway. The beach is literally footsteps away. Overall I would definitely stay here again.

Cons. There is a note on the bathtub wall that tells you how to turn the shower on. There was only one visible knob and it did nothing when moved. 2. The hotel is located at the beginning (main start) of the boardwalk where the WildWood sign and beach balls are. The stores/rides/excitement are a few blocks up. If you all are adults then it's not a big deal. However, walking in the heat with small children makes it very inconvenient even with a stroller.
