“Weekend Getaway”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 2, 2012

Quick getaway on a holiday weekend. Only wanted to stay 2 nights and the owners were very accommodating when everywhere else wanted 3 nights. Rooms and the pool were very clean. The owners Greg & Donna were very friendly. Great view of the boardwalk, beach and fireworks at night from the sundeck. Still waiting for the hazelnut creamer to go along with the complimentary coffee. LOL!

“Excellent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 1, 2012 via mobile

Boardwalk is walking distance away. It is away from all the rides on boardwalk so it is a little quieter. Pool is very clean and well maintained. My kids were in it for hours. The people that were at hotel during my stay were very friendly. Would definitely go back.

“Weekend Getaway”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 13, 2012

Great owners friendly and accomodating. The motel and pool could not have been cleaner. There is not enough parking but we were able to park in the lot across the street. I think this was better being the spaces were wider. There was a full stove-refrig and microwave in the kitchen which is quite small. Definately not an eat in kitchen. They also took reservations for just 2 days which alot of motels in WW and WWC want at least 3 days. I would definately stay here again for a weekend getaway.....

“Very Clean, Quiet and Friendly!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 24, 2012

We just spent 3 nights here for a family weekend and we were very pleased! The owners Greg and Donna were extremely accomodating and friendly. We traveled with our parents who were originally in an upstairs room and when we requested a room on the main floor, they were moved immediately. The property is outdated but does not look beat up at all like most of the places here and more importantly it is spotless!! The rooms are immaculate and trust me, I did a thorough search of the beds for bugs, every corner of the room was clean. I'm a clean freak and Lu Fran passed the test!!

The hotel is at the end of the boardwalk closer to Wildwood Crest. This is definitely the quieter side but a far walk from the amusements. There is a tram that runs on the boardwalk all day long and for $2.50 pp each way, you can take it to your stop. We preferred to drive and park close to the center of the boardwalk since the parking only cost between $5 to $7 for the day and it works out to be cheaper than paying the 2.50 pp each way. Maria's Parking was our favorite. FYI - There is no Biking on the boardwalk after 11am. No good restaraunts on the boardwalk either, only pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers etc. You must visit Good Fish Grill on Pacific Avenue. OMG the food was outstanding. My mouth is still watering over their Crab cake sliders. The Lobster Bisque was incredible as well as the Halibut.

If we visit Wildwood again, the Lu Fran will definitely be the place that we stay.

Room Tip: Dont go for room #5. It is next to the utility room and you will hear the loud motor all night.

“Another great stay http://www.lufranmotel.com/”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 21, 2012

Stayed again at this great place. This is my hotel of choice when visiting WW. Why......the owners are great. Friendly, and responsible. The place is clean. We got the same room again (14). Prices are fair and just slightly lower then nearby hotels. Pool was clean, and the pool guy was there daily. Rooms, cleanest in all of WW. Love the location. I did realize this visit, that they do not have enough parking for their number of rooms. But not a problem.....there is a parking lot across the street that they give you a pass to park in. I dont recall an elevator (for those who may need it can ask for the first floor). Again my suggestions are the same as last year: 2 pillows for each person instead of 1 (but did remember to take my own this time) and an extra blanket as some like it cold and others not so much. And, the dang outlets. They aren't tight. Would recommend this hotel to those who are looking for a clean, resonable, calm, friendly stay.
