“Wildwood Inn strikes me as a place embracing its quirky, nostalgic charm, particularly with themed suites that promise a memorable, if slightly dated, experience. The indoor pool, housed in a tropical-esque dome, seems to be a focal point for family fun, despite some deferred maintenance. For travelers seeking a unique, campy stay over modern perfection, this could be a worthwhile stop.”
