“There's a nostalgic, old-school charm to this place, emphasized by its beachfront location in Wildwood Crest. I appreciate that you can step right onto the sand, and the upper floors offer decent ocean views. It seems like the new owners are making incremental improvements, which hopefully includes addressing some comfort issues reported by other travellers.”
