I have no idea where the negative reviewers stayed but I did not find any of that stuff during my stay this past weekend. Upon early arrival, I checked to see if there were changing rooms and the nice lady at the front desk told me my room was ready and I could check right in - 3 hours early!... more

I don't understand the excellent reviews that I saw. I did expect more from a room that was $450 a night. We stayed in a three bedroom condo style room for four nights that was spacious and almost typically exquiped for such a unit. Pros: Great view of the ocean and adequate balcony with sliders from the living room. There... more

My husband and I just returned on Friday from a 3 night stay here. We were extremely hesitant to go forth with our stay here- considering the terrible reviews over the past few months. We even went as far as to calling the resort and telling them to hop on tripadvisor.com to check out the reviews. They told us that... more

no one expects a 5 star hotel in wildwood crest. let's face it; it's a beach resort. however, if your money is being spent here or anyplace, you should receive at the minimum professionalism and courtesy. the so called manager loses a reservation, which we have proof of in our hands then refuses to accomodate you . i have stayed... more

Ok...been here many times before, last time was Aug. '04. I was very nervous with all the bad reviews and even almost canceled. We had a A1S room on the 2nd floor with the separate bedroom. The room looked renovated and the bathroom looked new too. There was one dvd player in the room. We had plenty of hot water... more

My family has been staying at the El Coronado for 10 years and since the facility has changed management two years ago, it has gone "downhill" drastically. We will be definately be staying elsewhere in our future trips to Wildwood Crest. I should have known when we checked in to our EEE suite and saw that one of the toilets... more

My fiance and I had reservations to stay at this resort during July 2008. When we arrived, we were told that our reservations had been "canceled" without our knowledge. Although I had written confirmation of my deposit and reservations, the hotel was unable to accommodate my needs. The female daytime manager on 7/25/08 was extremely dismissive, unprofessional, and rude. My... more

This year the rooms themselves were completely removated. Next year the pool area will be redone. We had no trouble checking in, our room was nice... more

My family has been going to Wildwood every summer for about 10 years now. We've stayed in several different ocean front places and they are all fairly comparable. I was hesitant about the ElCoronado after reading the reviews, but we took a chance since we booked so late this year. The place itself was fine. The rooms (we went with... more

Okay, I am not someone who normally writes reviews but this time I felt I had too. I was a bit scared to book a room here after reading other reviews so when we first checked in; we asked to see the room. We stayed in an EE room on the second floor. Our first impression was not great but... more
