What guests think

At Blue Water Motel, travelers repeatedly praise the friendly owners, very clean rooms, and a quiet, beach-close location, while noting simple facilities with a pool and parking and some dated elements across this older property.

Some guests report musty or damp odors, worn linens, noisy or aging air conditioners, occasional maintenance issues, and in rare cases discolored tap water. Policies can feel strict, with limited visitor allowances, early checkout and late check-in, charges for ice or coffee pods, and no on-site breakfast. A practical choice for straightforward beach trips and low-key family stays.

Absolutely would stay here again. The owners are amazing and very hospitable. There is outdoor space and a nice pool. The rooms aren’t the Ritz but you are a block away from the beach and a great pool and services. My family enjoyed our time there

Older hotel in good condition. Very clean and upkeep good. Checked in late and although there was a keurig in the room there was no coffee. Sign said available in office for .25 Office not open at night or early morning so no coffee! Should give you at least one or two to start Also charge for ice

The country music festival was this weekend, so my friends and I were looking for a cheap motel. This was the cheapest one in the area. I had never stayed here before but holy moly this place is awesome! All the comforts of home at one place. The room was SPOTLESS, and beautiful. We had a huge kitchenette with nice windows, hot showers, The family who owns it REALLY cares about their place. They have an outdoor "shower" so you can rinse off before going in the room or the pool. The pool was great, lots of space to lay out around it. I just can't say enough nice things about this place! It is a 10 minute drive to the convention center though. I enjoyed it so much and will be returning for every trip to wildwood!!

The motel was convenient for a bike run we had in Cape May. The beds weren't terrible. I woke up feeling rested. The towels in the bathroom need replacing. The ones in our room were clean but on the grey side. Also, the AC was a bit loud but did not keep us awake. Otherwise, we would recommend Blue Water for an overnight stay.

I stayed at this property 09/01-09/02. The room was clean , however the bedsheets were old, and so were the towels ( some were gray, some had holes in them ). The AC was old, noisy and smelly . The staff was courteous. The pool was one of the few nice things about this property.

The water that come from the bathtub is color brown . From the kitchen sink is yellow. The A/C doesn’t work doesn’t even turn on . The front door is hard to open and the room window is sealed . The pool open at the 11 am and the check in is at 3 pm but people came from the beach and is close and the other day the check out is before the pool is open . Plus doesn’t have control of admission the people next to us doesn’t even sleep.

AC was off when we arrived, room was cooking. Overall everything was very clean. Updating the carper would definitlely help this location. Also some shelving in the shower and aditional towel hooks for drying would be appreciated. Prices are insane but its the shore durring summer so its to be expected. Overall not too bad.

This was my first time staying in a motel since my HS gradation 1988. Area was very nice and safe. Very close to beach and clean. Owners are very nice and hard working. This was a last minute trip for my teen daughters who wanted to go to wildwood because friends were here, and because OC is so boring to them. Overall the stay was adequate but overall prices are high everywhere at the NJ beach. I just came back from Nashville at 4 star hotel and paid the same price as this one. The only bummer is the musty smell of the rooms but I am sure the owns can’t help it because of the humidity. I would go back to the area, but would pick a motel that had later check out time. 10 am is too early.
