Very nice front desk man, Courteous. Rooms were clean and I respect the white!! Linen. Thank you.
What a wonderful place! We only were able to stay one night, but next time we do a wildwood trip we’re definitely booking with yankee clipper. PERFECT LOCATION! One block from the beach. We could see the beach from our balcony. Front desk was incredibly sweet and helpful, and we were even greeted by her adorable new fur baby! The pool was clean and not over crowded. They even have a little mini golf course, and ping pong tables available for guests. The room was awesome! Very clean. Still smelled nice and fresh inside. Air conditioner worked great. Nice amount of space with a super cool pull out couch in the living area! The bathrooms were as clean as could be, and stocked with towels and soaps! We had a lovely time at this motel, and I highly recommend giving it a try for your next vacation!
