Called our favorite place to stay in North Wildwood for a last minute trip, and Alante delivered! Always a pleasure to stay here, with just my husband, or friends, or his annual guys trip, Alante is a great location with amazing views right on the main road facing the ocean. Every year we see new things as they are regularly upgrading, noticed new bedding as we were unpacking, and real loungers by the pool (not those plastic strappy ones like at most motels down the shore). Thanks, Mel!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about the Alante!!! The staff is amazing and the owners make you feel like family. Just steps from the beach. The views from almost every room we have stayed in have been beautiful.From the first time we stayed here four years ago our experience has been nothing short of fantastic. We won’t stay anywhere else because we have gotten spoiled. It’s more than just a motel it’s become like visiting family with the personal attention and true willingness to insure every visit is a positive experience. You can tell they take great pride in this privately owned motel💕

This motel is pretty basic but does the job of providing one with a place to stay in the area. Pros: 1. The beach is directly across the street. 2. The boardwalk has a many things to do and places to eat. 3. The rooms have acceptable living amenities like a kitchenette, dining table and TV. Cons: 1. Parking lot is kind of weird and not suitable for larger SUVs, trucks, etc. 2. Our room didn't feel secure as it only had one lock which was within the door knob. There was no inside reinforced lock. 3. While there is a TV in the general area, there is no TV in the bedroom of a 1-bedroom condo.

We booked the Alante Motel for the Friday to Monday of July 4th weekend. I booked it over the phone during June and was emailed confirmation (our balance was $620). A few days prior to our arrival, I emailed asking if our room was available for the Thursday night. It was, so we booked it and I asked for a new balance so we would have enough cash to pay (they did not accept cards when checking-in). I was emailed back with a balance due of $725. We arrived after 6pm on Thursday night so they left our room unlocked and told us to pay the balance on Friday morning when the office was open. The husband tells me I owe $875. I said no, I owe $725. So he gets his wife, Melanie, to come out. She tells me it’s $875 and she must have messed up in the email. She actually had the audacity to question me as to why I would think the room would only cost an extra $105 during a summer night and had a terrible attitude. Maybe because 1. she emailed the dollar amount, 2. we are in the middle of a pandemic and 3. they had plenty of vacant rooms the entire time we were here. In hindsight, I wish I had left and found another hotel to go to. But with 2 kids and already fully unpacked, I didn’t want to deal with the hassle. I won’t be staying at the Alante ever again. The customer is always right except here.

I booked this hotel on phone for 2 nights for labor day weekend. We had stayed at this hotel last year, and liked the location, though the motel itself was rundown. The women on the phone was pleasant and told me that there is only one room left. I paid the deposit by credit card, and she told me that remaining balance needs to be paid in cash on arrival. Later I received a text message with confirmation details of the booking.

The evening prior to check-in, I received a call from a guy who said that he was owner, and is calling to notify that his receptionist had overbooked me in error, and he wont be able to honor the booking. He gave me an option for a room in a different motel in the area at the same price. He offered no apology and gave me no other option. I declined the offer as I found his behavior to be very unprofessional and the motel that he offered did not have good reviews and was not at the location that we preferred. I ended up booking a different hotel, but it cost 400$ extra as there was barely any availability at the last minute.

I have noticed that how other reviewers have posted about their negative experience, but the owner's reply is typically geared towards confusing the reader by putting the blame on the reviewer. It just reflects poor business ethics.

I recommend avoiding this hotel, especially if you do not want to be in a last minute mess during busy season. Dont trust this hotel with your family's vacation.

Hello, We called you 48 hours prior to your reservation to let you know that an over booking have been made. We could accommodate you but not in the same room type. You denied that request. We then offered you to stay at our sister motel for the same price that was closer to the rides, but you declined. We work with you in every possible way to accommodate you and to make things right after the overbooking. He’s unfortunate that you feel this way and we do hope to see you again in the sunny Jersey shore.

Amazing experience. The owners and staff are the best!! The location can not be beat!! I emphasize location!! Steps from the beach. We found this place accidentally while looking for a place we could extend a stay at the shore. From the very first stay 5 years ago we knew this was our go to spot. Family owned and operated the attention to detail and cleanliness is always appreciated. The owners and staff have made us feel like family from our very first stay here. We have stayed in other places in wildwood but this is the place we always come back to.

Staff at desk were extremely nice, room was clean, across the street from beach, very good value. Nice area of North Wildwood, close to attractions, but not too close. Pool was clean and well kept. A good area to stay with family or kids. Great views and within walking distance to sea wall and beginning of boardwalk. Beach is just steps away.

We had spent five years at this hotel and finally after last season, we decided it was time to move on...Don't get me wrong, the people that run the hotel are nice, but after spending almost $7,000 over a five year period in the same room and nothing ever being done to upgrade it, it was time for a change.

I mean, the same old bed, the same running faucet, no utensils to cook in the kitchen...Had to bring our own pots and pans from home...My friend had no door on her refrigerator. I mean, things like this. Just upgrade a few things and loyal customers like myself will be back. I just think that it is insane to be bringing in that kind of money and not to anything with it...

Like when you come home from being out and it is 1:00 in the morning and you don't have anyplace to park your car...If you park on the street, it is metered parking and after paying all of this money to the hotel, you have no place to put your car!!!

They are just getting through the season and not doing anything with all of the money that they make at this place. I will tell anyone who says that they want to go there, it is great the first stay, but after a few stays, you will notice the same thing as me...TIME TO MOVE ON!!!!
