Review of Marlane Motel

Reviewed October 3, 2017

Been coming down to WIldwood since 1996. After staying at many motels in Wildwood we found the Marlane Motel. Will not stay at any other place - the owners are amazing. Room and the entire property are spotless. Can not wait until next year.

Date of stay: September 2017

Great motel!
Chambre très propre, lit confortable, Lisa et Chris sont très accueillants et sympathiques! Le motel est à 2 minutes du bordwalk. Nous recommandons sans hésiter et nous y retournerons certainement.

Room very clean, bed comfortable, Lisa and Chris are very welcoming and friendly! The motel is two minutes away from the bordwalk. We would definitely recommend and will go back for sure.

Great rooms and location!
Love this property! My family came here with me as a kid and it's been a number of years since I've visited the area.

The rooms are spotless and the wood laminate floors are great compared to carpet. I also appreciate that a fridge and microwave are included. The pool is a nice size and very relaxing.

You can't beat the location either- only a block from the boardwalk and at the start of most of the attractions.

The owners are fantastic people who clearly care about their guests and the property!

Perfect as always
Just finished up another long weekend at the Marlane. As always the rooms and grounds are absolutely spotless , pool is immaculate and the owners and guests are all wonderful. This is a family friendly spot if late nights and loud parties are your thing book elsewhere. This is a throwback motel that is impeccably clean and friendly. The bedding is clean and comfortable and every year we notice several updates. Centrally located one block from boardwalk and convention center we literally parked here and never started our car again!! Coffee is provided every morning at 630 as well as a toaster so u can save some $$ bringing bagels , bread etc. In the rear of the property 2 like new gas grills are available to use as well as grill tools all free of charge . Also available are boogie boards tennis equipment and even some fishing gear. This is the only place to stay in Wildwood!!!

Wish the weather had been as accommodating as the Marlane
My SO and I spent 3 nights here on a trip to get away from my kids and our dogs, lol! We couldn't find any places in Cape May within our budget so Wildwood it was. The Marlane ended up being wonderful, even if the weather wasn't. Everything I saw was clean and well-maintained. The staff were friendly and efficient. I can't say enough about the owners - caring and accommodating. We traveled by motorcycle and couldn't bring much with us - Lisa made sure we had what we needed, going above and beyond. It's a traditional Jersey beach-style motel. Don't come here expecting a high-end design bathroom -- instead enjoy the retro 1960-era tile in the bathroom. It was all clean and intact (craftsmanship you rarely see today), so why remove something that is standing the test of time and gives you that true Wildwood Doo-Wop experience? We had a mini fridge and microwave, coffee was available for free every morning (water in the afternoon). The chairs by the pool and outside of the rooms were clean, pool was cleaned daily, and they had gas grills and tools, chairs and boogie boards. The area is quiet (2 blocks off boardwalk by Convention Center) and there is a city park across the street which was great for small children. It appeared to me that they had adequate parking too. Wifi was also adequate with full occupancy.

love staying there
We have stayed at the Marlane 4 times this year so far. I love staying at this motel. Wouldn't not go anywhere else. The owners Lisa and Chris are great and the staff is excellent. If you have any problem they take care of it immediately. They are a friendly staff
