We've been coming here for years, and it never disappoints. This year we had a handicapped family member with us, and I want to especially thank Julia for assisting us with getting a handicapped parking spot, it made everything so much easier. Wonderful. The entire staff here is so welcoming and friendly. The hotel itself is old, but they are constantly upgrading. We always get an oceanfront room, great view! The rooms are clean, the pool is nice, everything you need is right here. Yes the elevators are slow, but that's the same with any full hotel. If you see negative reviews about a problem, I would wonder if they mentioned it to hotel staff, because if I ever had an issue they attended to it immediately. Even the housekeeping staff are the nicest people you will ever meet. I wouldn't stay anywhere else.

Hotel's Favourite
I am writing this review to address the things other people complain about. All hotels in the Wildwood Crest have tight parking spaces and limited parking. They were built before SUVs. You need to keep this in mind when booking at any hotel in the crest. This hotel does have an underground garage that fit our full size SUV, which is probably better than most of the other hotels in the crest. The maid service is limited because of COVID but it can be requested AT ANY TIME. They literally give you a sheet to fill in each day to request any items/services you need. Not sure why people complain about a lack of maid service when they can get it AT ANY TIME if it is requested. The elevators are slow because you staying in a FULL HOTEL with lots of people in the summertime. I never know what people expect the hotel to do about that. 3rd year staying at this hotel, no problems. This was the first time we used the pool and it was great! Very warm and there is a second sun deck above the pool with additional seating. Location is great; can walk to locations in the crest and to the boardwalk. Our room showed some wear and tear but overall was clean and spacious, with a private balcony where you are not looking at your neighbors next door. The biggest benefit of staying in Wildwood Crest was the space. We paid more in Ocean City Maryland for a hotel room without a kitchenette or sofa bed.

I just got back last week. Its a beautiful hotel with some upgrades. This is my 4th time there, but I will not come back. The room was so damped, muggy. The walls were wet. I was sick the whole time i was there and still sick. Trying to find a doctor to give me a mold test just to make sure I was not exposed to mold. Your clothes will not dry, towels and even the sofas were damp.

We stayed in a C-1 suite. It was clean and exactly as advertised. I know some rooms have been updated ours was not but had what we needed. There were a few things that could have been better : The elevators are horrendously slow, the restaurant attached was so so and the young gentlemen at the desk on check in were unfriendly and unhelpful - especially in comparison to the chipper upbeat gentleman there when I checked out. Basically the location is great and I would stay here again. Loved the pool; loved the cleanliness and loved the proximity to what was important to us.

Horrible. The ocean view room was actually facing the parking lot with the “ocean view “at least 200 yards away.! Our balcony was flooded in lights so we could not even sit out at night. The photos of the balcony rooms on the web site are not even remotely accurate. So disappointing. I won’t be back.

we have stayed at the adventure in wild wood crest the last 13 years we have came down always liked it but this time was totally different. now you have to pay a extra fee to get the floor that you want before you would just ask and it was never a problem. the check in used to the text you when your room is ready which was usually pretty early but now if you don't pay an extra fee it will not be ready till 4oclock or after. The elevators are very slow and when your on the higher floors its a long walk with luggage and kids We finally got checked into room went up and maids were still cleaning it. When you leave with your vehicle you will be lucky if you get a spot when you come back later in the evening. I don't know what happened in the last two years but i think its just plain Greed for all the extra fees because they know they got you. I always did like staying here but will be looking for something else next year.

Hi Chris and we thank you for your review. We are sorry you felt a different experience this time. We always notify guests as soon as the room is ready, via text message, no matter the time. We like to get our guests in the room as soon as possible. When reserving in advanced, there is a charge to select your exact room number or floor number. The room guarantee charge is in place to maximize the openings for other guests that do not have a room number or floor preference. This gives our reservation desk the flexibility to move rooms around and make space for other reservations .We hope you understand and we hope to see you again.

My family went to wildwood July 5 2023-July 8 2023.. We were staying on the 4th floor. July 7,2023 wildwood power plant caught on fire, all of wildwood had no power for a day ( as per Atlantic Electrical company). I went up the front desk regarding reimbursement for the night the power went out. The owner was extremely rude got very nasty with myself and my family... She stated the only thing the hotel is doing for there guest is a barbecue... We were told once the power gets back on we will be reimbursed for the day and night with no power.. My family went to the barbecue and I seen employees touching the food with there bare hands, sneezing and coughing all over the food... At that point we went back the front desk check out and was told we would get a refund when the power goes back on... We waited till Monday 7-10-23 to call to get update. The owner was extremely nasty and gave an attitude with no refund... This is by far unacceptable... This is how a hotel treats a veteran and family... I would be careful where you book... Please do not book here!!

Hi North Star. We thank you for reviewing the Adventurer Teams’ excellent performance during an unprecedented City Wide Power Outage in Wildwood. As always, our guests safety and well being are paramount. While we aim for perfection, it’s not always attainable. Your constructive criticism is what keeps us strong and strive for excellence. Thank you.

We stay at the Adventurer every summer. We love the location, and have never had an issue there. This weekend, there was a fire at a substation which caused a power outage for the entire island. We were blissfully unaware on the beach until we overheard people talking about it. When we returned to the hotel, there were signs posted for a barbecue. The hotel managed to put together an impromptu barbecue and fed hamburgers and hotdogs to anyone who wanted them. They also delivered a flashlight and glow sticks to every room. I can't imagine any other hotel going through the hassle to make this happen. The next morning we had another knock at the door and we were handed a box of taffy and fudge "from the management for the inconvenience of yesterday." Thank you Adventurer for putting your guests first! See you next year!

Wow! Thank you for your amazing review. As soon as the Adventurer found out the whole island of Wildwood was without power, the Adventurer Team went into action. We wanted to do as much for our guests as we could, given the circumstances. Thank you for noticing all of our hard effort and we are glad your family felt at ease. Enjoy the rest of the Summer and we will see you in 2024.

We came for a family trip that included attending the Barefoot Country Music Fest. The Adventurer is located perfectly just at the end of the Boardwalk but at the start of the Crest. The hotel is clean and updated. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. Being just off the Boardwalk, it is convenient and a short walk to get to many attractions and restaurants but it still has the quiet and family atmosphere that the Crest is known for. We highly recommend staying at the Adventurer!
