Review: Eden Roc Motel in Wildwood, New Jersey

When you browse through the website for the Eden Roc Motel in Wildwood, New Jersey it appears to be a very nice family hotel which is close to the beach and the boardwalk. Beware though, advertising can be deceiving. The Eden Rock Motel in Wildwood, New Jersey is located at 5201 Atlantic Avenue. This is a great location in Wildwood, New Jersey as it is on the quiet side of the boardwalk, but close enough that you don't have to worry about driving and finding paid parking when you want to visit the boardwalk. Too bad the convenience ends there though, as the rooms at the Eden Roc Motel in Wildwood, New Jersey are not anywhere near what the website leads you to believe.

The rooms are advertised as having two beds which easily accommodate two adults and children under eleven stay in the room for free. The room includes a refrigerator and microwave. Unfortunately, you will find out that neither of these are maintained very well. In reality these amenities at the Eden Roc Motel in Wildwood, New Jersey are not usable due to the condition they were kept in the room. The rooms themselves tend to be very dirty, and not well maintained as well. The carpet appeared to be very worn, and the walls appeared to be in desperate need of a new coating of paint. I guess when you find a hotel in Wildwood, New Jersey 1/2 block from the beach and the boardwalk with in-season rates of $95-114 per night that should serve as a red flag. The rate appeared to be too good to be true, and in the end you get no more than what you pay for and probably less.

If the condition of the rooms does not bother you, if you are just looking for a place to sleep then the amenities of the Eden Roc in Wildwood, New Jersey include gas grills, ice machines, a laundry room, and free parking for one car per unit. There is also a pool, and a shuffleboard game to entertain you while staying at the Eden Roc Motel in Wildwood, New Jersey. At least these features give you an excuse to stay out of your room.

One other thing that is a little disturbing is that the ownership of the Eden Roc Motel in Wildwood, New Jersey accepts very limited types of payment. They will only accept either cash or money order when you arrive to pay the balance you owe. This inconvenience along with the condition of the rooms results in my opinion that I can't really recommend the Eden Roc Motel in Wildwood, New Jersey for families. It might be a cheap option for college students, but don't plan on having a romantic weekend away at this hotel. Despite the bargain rates at Eden Roc Motel in Wildwood, New Jersey, it's better to pay a little more and get better quality.
