No coffee in the room , can't use the towels at the pool and gift shop was closed so we couldn't by towel, drinks for the night we arrived. We ended up going to the Hotel across the street to use a vending machine because yours were shut off. Nice thing was we could walk out the door to the beach. Oh yeah we arrived around 5pm, thinking there was a restaurant so we could have dinner and relax. Nope only open for breakfast. Any way we did have a place sleep.

I was very disappointed I was 1 floor up from the washer and dryer. It was loud and we couldn't use the balcony from the smell and damp smell from dryer. We love the balcony didn't like not being able to use.

This is an amazing place! My only complaint is that if you want to sit in the shade at the pool, you have to rent the area.

Aug 28, 2024
I had stayed at the property in June of this year and it was great. This time not at all. When checking in the staff member processing the check in was not very nice. I had asked if she can please check that the room was not a corner room just the balconies are very tiny and we were a family of 5. Before I even finished my sentence she said there was nothing she can do because my reservation was made through Expedia. I was already committed to my reservation so I said fine, no worries. The room was dirty, zero towels in the room. Broken glasses in the cabinet. The pull out couch bed was broken to the point that we had to put 2 chairs at the end of bed/matress to hold it up. Very disappointed. I have pics of the couch.

A nice place to stay for a family
It was a last minute decision to remain overnight on a day trip to Wildwood Crest/Cape May NJ. We needed a two bedroom accommodation and a search led me to El Coronado which happened to have what I needed available. I was comfortable with the choice as I had stayed here once before and liked the place. It was clean, and the woman at the desk, Diana (this was a late check-in) couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. I would not hesitate to stay here again on a longer stay.

I liked the check in area scent, restaurant,
pool, access to parking along with the beach and balcony arrangement facing the ocean (we were able to see a beautiful sunrise from our room!).

Great Hotel as it offers a lot for the money. Some minor negatives not worth commenting about. The parking, however, needs bigger spaces! If the parking improves then I would rate this Hotel a 5! Very cramped parking but still accommodates larger vehicles in different spots.
Plan on returning!

Quick family getaway
This was our first visit to this property. Overall, very pleased with our visit. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean and we had a nice view of the ocean. Pool area very nice but lots of loud children so this is not a place to go if you want quiet pool time. Location was perfect. The restaurant on site was wonderful for lunch. Elevators very slow and busy but that is expected for the amount of people using them. Wildwood Crest is a wonderful place to visit and I would stay here again.

Property is walkable to the beach. Front desk can be more welcoming and wear smile while greeting guest. Room has dates TVs. They could be upgrades to LCD Tv with app. Light switches are not at so obvious places. There is no light while entering the room since they are very dark.

Overpriced
I thought the hotel was overpriced for what it was. On top of that, the air conditioning was an issue throughout. It was a very old system and when it clicked off it was off until the room was very warm. You could not set to an actual temperature.

The hotel is just a short walk away to the beach! The beach view rooms are great :-) very spacious with kitchen area and separate room.
The pool area is fun! Although we didnt use this service, there are barbecues available for patrons to use.

The beds were uncomfortable. They were wonky. Kept rolling to middle of bed. Hotel allows people to put their towels on lounge chairs to secure them for later in the day. This leaves no room or chairs available except for the ones you need to pay for. They had a bunch of lounge chairs locked up but did not put them out for use. The rental fee for chairs is a little high for the price you pay to stay there they should be less. Light on balcony did not work. Couch is very uncomfortable as well. I love the location and the pool is nice. Entertainment at pool is fun.
