wonderful hotel but they could upgrade their toilets as they are kid size, they belong in a preschool setting. Tall people will have a hard time with those.

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The first impression of a hotel is the check-in and Wildwood did a great job. The lady was friendly and it went quick so we could get to our room after a long day. The room was nice - clean, as expected. We spent a quiet night of getting badly needed rest and enjoyed the complimentary breakfast in the morning. We would definitely stay there again.
