The small pool is popular with families but occasionally needed better pre-opening cleaning. Parking is tight, there is no elevator with many stair-only rooms, and Wi-Fi reliability varies. Overall, expect a modest, budget-minded stay close to the action with trade-offs in consistency.

We stayed at the Tropicana in August 2025 for two nights, after having a positive experience in 2024. This time, however, there were a few noticeable differences. Last year, a continental breakfast was included, which our kids especially enjoyed. This year, the only options in the lounge were pre-packaged muffins and bagels, which was disappointing. Our room was as expected and consistent with our previous stay, though the bathroom felt more run down. The toilet had stains and an ill-fitting seat cover, and there was black grout along the sink and shower. We stayed Thursday through Saturday and didn’t experience any issues with noise, which we appreciated. However, the stairwell area was not well maintained. Each morning we noticed trash around the stairs and underneath them, though it did get swept later in the day. The pool is a good size and the kids enjoyed it, but it wasn’t cleaned before opening. We had to skim out debris ourselves in the morning. While the pool staff came around mid-morning to vacuum sand, this ideally should have taken place before guests start swimming. Overall, while we still enjoyed parts of our stay, the upkeep and amenities did not meet the standard we experienced in 2024.

The renovations on the interior were great. Parking was okay but you can’t expect great parking in wildwood. They had a huge cracked section at the top of the stairs. It was a nice stay. Pretty quiet. If you’re not a fan of smelling smoke, this place is great as it is a non smoking campus. I’m a smoker myself and made sure to do it off property.

Property was as best you could get for the price! Absolutely thrilled with our stay. Pool was still open for Irish Weekend and was heated!! Beds were clean and moderately comfortable. Had a nice tv, table spot to hang jackets and a nice closet space with a microwave and mini fridge. Air conditioner was a bit outdated but kicked ass, keeping the room cold. Bathroom was maybe the only downside: shower was great but the area where the toilet and sink made for an uncomfortable sit, especially if you are on the bigger side. Ceiling also looked a little moldy but I was expecting way worse for a motel. We had quick access to the boardwalk, less than an 5min walk. Had a liquor store across the street. The 2nd floor had some chairs and a grill if you wanted to cook. Management was nice and was quick to respond when we had a personal issue and also let us check in an hour early at no charge. Towels available upon request, easy peasy. They allowed us to park wherever we could find space at either hotel area (The own the Wave hotel next door too). Overall it was an amazing stay and I would definitely go back again!!

I was happy with the easy check in and the very friendly staff. Rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. The pool was kept up very nicely and very accessible, water was clean and clear. The location is perfect, just a very short distance to the boardwalk and amusement piers. The only issue we had was the view with it being behind a newer hotel and it lost the Doowop feel with the neons not being in the sign, very minor things that did not affect the stay, just what we are used to after years of going to Wildwood. Overall it was a great experience, family friendly and would definitely recommend the Tropicana.

We came to Wildwood for a 3 day 2 night stay. While the outside appears a bit dated, the motel itself is very up to date and clean! Everything was clean, from the bathroom to the floors and the sheets. There were only 2 double beds, but for as much time as you honestly spend in the room, it was fine. And there was enough room for an air mattress as well. There was an ice machine in the lobby, that was a huge plus. And it was very close to the dunkin donuts and beach access. Parking was a little tight, but they do offer on street parking, which was nice. The staff was very helpful and nice as well. There is also an outdoor shower for rinsing off. Overall, i would recommend staying here. Its clean and affordable for families wanting a fun beach trip on a budget.

This hotel was one of the dirtiest I’ve ever stayed in. From the moment I arrived, I was disappointed. The stairs leading up to the rooms were filthy, and the parking lot for this motel was umm not so great let’s just say. When I entered my room, things only got worse. The room was much smaller than advertised, which already felt misleading. Then I noticed my bed sheets had sand in them, and the floor was gritty as well. It was obvious the sheets hadn’t been changed, and the room hadn’t been cleaned properly before my stay. That alone is unacceptable. The worst part was the bathroom—there was an overwhelming amount of mold covering the ceiling. It was so disgusting I almost didn’t want to use it at all. Mold is a serious health hazard, and the fact that the hotel allows guests to stay in those conditions is alarming.

We spent 3 nights from 9/14/23 - 9/16/23. 2 adults, 2 children. The room was clean and tidy. The kids loved the pool even though I thought it was a bit small. Having said that, the pool was very kids friendly. Everyone was very kind and pleasant. 1 1/2 block from boardwalk, perfect!!!! A short, nice walk to the Convention Center. (I attended the Firemans Convention). We had a really great time and enjoyed staying at the Tropicana Motel. Highly recommend>

The staff was very friendly. The room looked just like the picture and was spacious. However there were gnats everywhere. On the headboard, in the fridge, on the ceiling. I have bites from head to toe within the first hour. My parents stayed in a separate room next to mine n only had a few gnats. Both of the tv's in our rooms did not work because the wifi was not strong enough. We stayed for 3days n had no tv. When we called about the gnats and the tv the staff member said the wifi just wasnt good there was nothing they can do and as far as the gnats they had no other rooms available. The room was clean and the pool area was nice. Very close to boardwalk. Over all was an OK place but would really have liked a tv to watch in the evening to relax n to not be eaten alive by gnats.

So scary to have stayed here with my children. The deadbolt didn’t work. The shower makes a loud whistling noise, the windows had now shades so I had to stuff my towels in them. We had room 18 and it’s in the corner so no actually light gets to it and all you hear are the cleaning ladies talking late at night and early. The WiFi was terrible. We will never stay here. We’ve stayed at waves multiple times so I didn’t think it would be so different. I will say it was very clean in the room!

Rooms are very small. I asked for a room on the lowest floor due to my son breaking a leg and they gave us a room on the highest floor at the very end of the corridor. The Internet was terrible. They say there’s a continental breakfast but I think they put it out for about a half hour and forget there are other guests that wake up after 6 AM.

I stayed here for a few nights off-season as one of the two guests they had at the time. There were cracks in the window to my room, there was no deadbolt, deadlock, or chain lock on my door which was a bit concerning. There was no cleaning service, and the overnight staff seemed confused about how to check me in. They collected my car keys the first night but then didn't the rest of the time. I tried extending my stay for a night and they increased the price by $50 for the night, despite it being off season and they clearly needed the business. I ended up leaving and found much better accommodations at the Adventurer Oceanfront Hotel (great off-season prices).

We had a okay stay here but it was a little less attractive than in the photos. Additionally, there is a quiet time from 10 am-10 pm and there were rowdy guests out past midnight screaming and causing a scene. This resulted in a large fight and the police being called at 1 am. No one from the property stopped the prior disturbance or the later fight. Also, someone in a nearby room was smoking marijuana frequently. This was a placed filled with small children and young kids. Nothing was done about it as well. Overall, I wouldn’t stay here again- I would pay more to stay somewhere more regulated and attended by a staff.

Had a nice tv, table spot to hang jackets and a nice closet space with a microwave and mini fridge. Air conditioner was a bit outdated but kicked ass, keeping the room cold. Bathroom was maybe the only downside: shower was great but the area where the toilet and sink made for an uncomfortable sit, especially if you are on the bigger side. Ceiling also looked a little moldy but I was expecting way worse for a motel. We had quick access to the boardwalk, less than an 5min walk. Had a liquor store across the street. The 2nd floor had some chairs and a grill if you wanted to cook. Management was nice and was quick to respond when we had a personal issue and also let us check in an hour early at no charge. Towels available upon request, easy peasy. They allowed us to park wherever we could find space at either hotel area (The own the Wave hotel next door too). Overall it was an amazing stay and I would definitely go back again!!

I stayed here for a few nights off-season as one of the two guests they had at the time. There were cracks in the window to my room, there was no deadbolt, deadlock, or chain lock on my door which was a bit concerning. There was no cleaning service, and the overnight staff seemed confused about how to check me in. They collected my car keys the first night but then didn't the rest of the time. I tried extending my stay for a night and they increased the price by $50 for the night, despite it being off season and they clearly needed the business. I ended up leaving and found much better accommodations at the Adventurer Oceanfront Hotel (great off-season prices).

Check in staff was rude, and “cash only” deposit that was never discussed. Also said the age minimum was 25 to get a room but said they’d let us in if we paid the deposit. But there was lots of other teens that looked to be there for senior week. Room was generally nice but every pillow and sheet had brown or black stains. Parking lot under the motel only has about 10 spaces so could be a struggle getting a spot later in the day

I was happy with the easy check in and the very friendly staff. Rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. The pool was kept up very nicely and very accessible, water was clean and clear. The location is perfect, just a very short distance to the boardwalk and amusement piers. The only issue we had was the view with it being behind a newer hotel and it lost the Doowop feel with the neons not being in the sign, very minor things that did not affect the stay, just what we are used to after years of going to Wildwood. Overall it was a great experience, family friendly and would definitely recommend the Tropicana.

We stayed at the Tropicana in August 2025 for two nights, after having a positive experience in 2024. This time, however, there were a few noticeable differences. Last year, a continental breakfast was included, which our kids especially enjoyed. This year, the only options in the lounge were pre-packaged muffins and bagels, which was disappointing. Our room was as expected and consistent with our previous stay, though the bathroom felt more run down. The toilet had stains and an ill-fitting seat cover, and there was black grout along the sink and shower. We stayed Thursday through Saturday and didn’t experience any issues with noise, which we appreciated. However, the stairwell area was not well maintained. Each morning we noticed trash around the stairs and underneath them, though it did get swept later in the day. The pool is a good size and the kids enjoyed it, but it wasn’t cleaned before opening. We had to skim out debris ourselves in the morning. While the pool staff came around mid-morning to vacuum sand, this ideally should have taken place before guests start swimming. Overall, while we still enjoyed parts of our stay, the upkeep and amenities did not meet the standard we experienced in 2024.

It was a good clean room, smaller but enough room for the two of us. It said there was breakfast but there wasn’t any when we went down at 8am. Other than that friendly staff and close to the boardwalk!

My family of 4 just had a great 4 night stay here! I was nervous after reading some reviews but we enjoyed our stay! Rooms are small but we were there just to sleep. Staff was super nice and helpful. Sometimes we had to leave our car key for parking, but they were quick to move cars out of the way if we needed ours. The location was great, very close to boardwalk and restaurants. The kids loved the pool and we were surprised there was a breakfast option in the morning! It wasnt anything fancy but cereal, coffee, juice,toast,muffins, and eggs, perfect for something quick before heading to the beach. We would definitely book here, again!

It was a decent value for what we paid. We only ended up staying a night while we were passing through, but could have stayed here for a few days with no problem. Room was clean and comfortable and the location was perfect for the boardwalk and beach.

The paint on my vehicle was contaminated by a product that was spilled or sprayed in the hotel parking lot during my stay. This contamination caused visible damage to the vehicle’s paint. The cost of cleaning and restoring the paint is estimated at approximately $500.
