This hotel is so very clean. Something myself and my family always look for. The rooms with the kitchens are spotless, right down to the utensils. The B-Q's which can be used are always cleaned everyday. We bring ribs and burgers to grill. The owners take pride in their hotel. This is a family hotel so although you can hang... More

I spent a week here with my wife several months ago. The rooms are very dated. We put the do not disturb sign up and someone still entered our room. The sign did not fly off the knob. There are creepy men (2-3) who stand at the bottom of the stairs that may work for the property. They stand there... More

Thank you for your review. When someone rents a motel in the Wildwoods they must keep in mind that these structures date back to the 60's and 70's. Thus, we are constrained by the physical limitations of these buildings. One cannot expect to find something on the order of a national/international chain in these properties. That said, we are constantly... More

FYI--when you call to make a reservation you can request a certain room!! Denise reserved a room on the first floor... More

Second visit to the Commander. How can you beat a quite, super clean, family oriented home away from home. Beds are comfy, TV is older but okay. Kitchen area just right for simple cooking, good sized fridge/microwave/stovetop (no real oven). We did the Oceanfront with balcony which is smaller than the Oceanview rooms...no living room area. Think I like the... More

My family stayed at the Commander for a week in July. If you are looking for an average cheap place to stay this is it. The location is great, right on the beach. It has a pool which my family enjoyed. We stayed on the third floor which was quite a hike because they do not have an elevator. Our... More

I first started coming to The Commander when I was little. My family and another family would come down just about every year. I now come down with my own family, and we love it.... The kids (now 16 and 13), always have a great time. The Crest is our favorite part of Wildwood... Quiet, relaxing and close enough to... More

For the second year in a row our soccer team stay at this motel for the Wildwood Beach Blast Tournament. Overall this is your typical Jersey shore hotel, but it is very clean in a great location in the Crest. The owners of the property are so nice and accommodating. Everyone loved the pool overlooking the beach and the great... More
