When my girlfriend first told me about the Wildwood Lodge I was leery as it was not one of many well-known chains I’m used to staying in.

By the time our weekend at the Wildwood was finished, it was hard to leave. The building is so welcoming, from its decor, staff and all the things to do, all with the goal of making guests feel at home.

The hotel definitely accomplished that, and I would recommend it to anyone. We already booked a room there for our family gathering in November 2019.

This is a lodging spot that can at times be above my budget, but Hotels.com got me a good deal and it has been excellent. The front desk people have been genuinely helpful and welcoming. Special accolades to JEN... she helped me extend my stay, fix the clothes dryer and my phone charger cord. What a refreshing room, lobby and all the amenities... for a guy that travels 60% of the time. Thanks WildWood Team.

We stopped because of the high ratings and the price. We are glad we did. The Wildwood Lodge is a friendly hotel, staff and decor, with an attractive pool and hot tub.
The rooms are larger than normal and clean with plenty of towels. The bed was good. The breakfast bar was attractive and varied, hot and cold foods, fresh fruit too. They keep almond milk for non-dairy travelers and even offered to make a batch of eggs without dairy added.
We did not use the heater/AC so can not comment on the noise. The elevator was clean and quick.
The hotel stocks board games in the lobby and was very kid and group friendly.
We will use this hotel again.
We did get a cheaper rate thru the app Trivago and final price of a double queen was $89.

I first started staying here several months ago for business. I feel that I have dropped the ball on giving this hotel a proper review.

The only thing that can be expressed about the hotel, staff, management is...one HELL of a GREAT experience!

Clean, comfortable, great location, great staff, EXCELLENT service and just all around home away from home!

Keep it up Wildwood and you got me as long as I travel. Thanks much.

First time there. Very nice hotel for the money. Cute decor. Breakfast was good. Hot and cold items. The staff at check in was not very friendly. It wasn't that busy and no one was in the pool and we asked about the pool and because it was almost 9;30 we couldn't go in there with our twelve year old. Which was a bummer when we just traveled 3 hours and it was part of the reason we stayed there for the pool. Also when we asked about hot chocolate she told us at breakfast they have it. But she wasn't about to look for any in the evening. Overall the hotel was very nice. Loved the theme and the outside firepit.
