“Wedding Rescuers”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012

Great place to vacation, relax or believe it or not even have a wedding. My son was supposed to be getting married on Sunday, October 28th then Hurricane Sandy decided to enter the picture. They were to be married in a beautiful tent a few blocks from the hotel on the brides grandmother's property. We were all planning to spend the week-end at the StarLux. When the tent company told us they would not put up the tent the StarLux offered their lounge to us. They set up tables, let us use their breakfast room for food preparation and allowed us to decorate their lounge for the wedding. The entire staff could not have been nicer. It was like one large family pulling together for the bride and groom. We will always have great memories of my son's wedding thanks to the generosity and kindness of the staff and management of the StarLux Hotel. Unfortunately the wedding had to be moved up to Saturday evening instead of Sunday afternoon due to the mandatory evacuation so we did not get to stay the entire week-end- but we will definitely return.

Room Tip: Loved the suites with the extra space. The little balcony was a real treat.

“Step back in time”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

Retro hotel only one block from the beach. We just stayed in one of the suites and had a small balcony with an ocean view. Well planned, attractive, small suite. Very clean hotel with an excellent staff that will do anything to make your stay comfortable. Nice continental breakfast .

Room Tip: Suites are excellent. Small kitchen with a full fridge and a small microwave.

“Great Stay!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012

This is a great place to kick back! We went late in the year. Was chilly, but the heated pool looked awfully inviting! The staff are great and seem to genuinely want you to have a great stay! Really enjoyed the room. It was a kick back in time. I hope to get a deal like this again next year!!!!

“Decent hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

We had a good overall experience with this hotel. It was clean and the room was decent. It seemed fairly small for the price, but it is in a shore area. The bed was ok, but not super comfortable. A very short walk to the beach so a definite perk. The area was fairly quiet. I'm not sure if we would stay again. The pictures seemed cooler online.

“A different stay experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 28, 2012

we stayed a Thurs evening and enjoyed the 60's feel. This is a small motel but unique. Very clean with nice staff( Julie checked us out and was helpful).+ Free bikes. Also located a close 1/2 block from the Wildwood sign with a nice view on the upper floors! Continental breakfast was limited with muffins and bagels but appreciated. Unfortunately not much restaurant food selection this late in the season in the middle of the week.

Room Tip: 2-bed rooms are small for 4 people.
