Hotel very old. Really needs to be updated. Rooms smell musty. The balcony looks unsafe. Don’t think I would stay there again or recommend. The location is perfect though.
first time to Wildwood. El Coronado was a great location on the beach in the quieter part of Wildwood Crest. Beds and linens were not that comfortable. Pool and spa were nice and well maintained.
The property was in a great location, plenty of parking, friendly staff and our room was ver clean! Will stay here again and also recommend to family and friends!
