“Nice Place to Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 29, 2012

I just stayed here with my husband and daughter from April 27, 2012 to April 29, 2012. The rooms were clean. The location was great. And the off-season rates were fantastic. I would agree with a previous reviewer about the sofa bed mattress, as well as the mattress in the bedroom, not being very supportive, but I don't think it would stop me from staying here again. My review of this hotel is pretty much on a curve because I don't think you can find the quality of a four or five star hotel at the Jersey Shore. So this hotel is definitely acceptable, all things considered.

Room Tip: Our room was on the very end near the stairway. Since there weren't too many people in the hote...

“Wonderful stay at Wild Dunes”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 28, 2012

Had a great stay at the Wild Dunes Inn in Ocean City. Stayed there just after the 4th of July, a bit less people than normal in Ocean City. Have stayed there over the last three years and have seen improvements in the lobby area and room. Nice new TV's and remodeled living room/bathroom just this year.

Love the fact that OCNJ has no bars. Wild Dunes is right in the middle of all of the activities. Kids had a great time at the amusement park. I had a great time hanging out on the beach during the day and resting outside in front of the room at night.

Room Tip: Get a 2nd floor room. If you get one near the fire stairwell, it's quicker up into the room. R...

“the Queen of CLEAN lives here”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 14, 2012

we stopped by on Thursday at 10pm and got a apt on the 3rd floor.The places was spacious,spotless and surgically clean,even the silverware.We walked to the beach from the boardwalk less than 50 feet away,and then into clean,crisp sheets in a king sized bed. the next morning we had made coffee in the kitchenettes and sat on the balcony watching the crashing waves and hearing the seagulls calling to us .It was a magically wonderful stay.Quite suppressed,having stayed at other Ocean City motels before.I never write reviews nor even read them,but the Wild Dunes was quite civilized and pleasant,we are planning on coming back again.

Room Tip: ask for a unit on the 3rd floor on the west side.The view is awesome and no noise from the boards.

“Great place to stay!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 28, 2011

This is a wonderful place to stay, very clean, and updated. Close access to the beach & boardwalk, but had a few minor issues with the room service, which the problem was rectified. Also a few minor problems with the restaurant not having enough help when ordering our breakfast, but they were very courteous & apologized for the issue. I would definitely stay here again as this suite was a lot better than the Forum! I love Ocean City for their boardwalk & the Wild Dunes is withing walking distance to many of the attractions! The only thing that they need to update is their TVs. Hopefully on our next stay!

Room Tip: You do have noise from the Playland, but you don't hear it when you are in the bedroom, and the...

“A pleasant surprise”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 22, 2011

Before booking this short visit, I read reviews of probably all the Ocean City NJ hotels. Sadly, for any hotel, even 1 bad review would stick in my head even if 10 reviews were good. We had to make a decison so we landed at the Wild Dunes. I was not sure what to expect, but it was quite acceptable. The suite was very clean and must have been recently remodeled. The kitchenette appliances were modern and in perfect condition. The bathroom was very clean, no mold or mildew. The carpeting seemed fairly new and clean. The only complaint would be the king bed mattress, and the sofabed mattress, were not at all supportive, but my kids didn't notice. So the mattresses should be replaced soon. FYI, The roller coaster is right across the street, running until 11:30pm.
