While the Master bedroom is updated and modern, the living room and bathroom are very dated but clean and had everything we needed. The floor could've been a little better cleaned as it was a bit sandy, and our feet got a little dirty because we left our shoes at the door. The front desk staff were friendly and professional under the guidance of manager Domingo. We were granted a late checkout and they were able to find a different parking spot for for us at one of their other locations around the corner so we could enjoy the boardwalk for a few more hours after checkout. As this property is directly across from the roller coaster at Playland, be prepared to hear the ride and screams from it inthe living room from 4- 11 PM. After that the street was very quiet.

The property was good for a one night stay. However the check in is at another property and the location is adjacent to a roller coaster ride. Very noisy.

Filthy, infested with ants and very loud

Do not stay here! It is very loud from the roller coaster and people screaming. We were met with a feminine wrapper on the balcony at our door. It is falsely promoted, there is no pool at this location. The view was of 10 dumpsters and smelled awful. There were dirty dishes in the cabinets, a clogged sink with rotten food, dirty bathtub and was infested with ants! Major safety concerns- The panel box in the bedroom was open and within reach of toddlers and the smoke detector was missing! We complained but they did not have anywhere to move our room and due to the holiday finding a new hotel was virtually impossible. Do yourself a favor and choose another place.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Wild Dunes so much that we will definitely be coming back next year and years to come. I really loved how equipped the kitchenette was. Especially having a coffee machine, since I am a coffee drinker was amazing rather than having to spend money every morning on coffee. It’s the little things that make me feel more at home and this hotel definitely made me feel at home. From the pool, spacious bedroom, many drawers for clothing, etc etc I really enjoyed my stay. Also, being so close to the boardwalk and beach that was a huge plus!

This is our second stay. It is excellent for seniors. Traveling with preteens, I could return to the room safely and they continued to enjoy the beach or. Boardwalk. Couple steps and you are on the beach/boardwalk.
