Villa Nova Resort Motel — Hotel in Wildwood Crest

I was a first time visitor, without reservations and got the last room available . Had arrived on a Friday evening and was told I had to stay two nights, only originally planned on staying one night. Was very happy that we had two nights there....no regrets. At peak season with no reservations, the price was higher than I wanted to pay...should have planned it better. Online price is 150/I paid 210 per night. :( The room was an efficiency, which was nice. It had a kitchenette (no coffee pot, though) , comfortable beds, and it had the older charm of the earlier days. I liked that. Our room was within 30 feet of the beach, which was great! I didn't swim in the pool, but my wife did. It was heated, and she loved it. It was a family atmosphere, and even had picnic tables and a grill, and shuffle board, sliding board in the pool and it had a separated area for toddlers to keep them in the shallow end of the pool, what a great idea. See picture in the review below ours.... The owner was in the lobby as we were checking out. She was SO friendly, we sat and talked to Joann (her husband, Harold was busy behind the desk)... and she even gave my wife a hug and a kiss on the cheek when we left. I would definitely stay here again....may make it a tradition..but will go online to book, to save some $. One more thing, it has a restaurant on the side of the motel which serves a great breakfast and also serves lunch...the employees there were very nice and very accommodating. The don't serve dinner there, but breakfast is available anytime they are open. It is about a five minute drive to the boardwalk attractions. We had a...

If you’re looking for a 5-star resort with lots of amenities, this isn’t the place for you. However if you’re looking for a clean room in an excellent location, this motel fits the bill. My extended family has been coming to the Villa Nova for decades and after having given up on wildwood many years ago, I joined the family for a mini-reunion this weekend. Check-in was quick and pleasant. Our room was two double beds, a small kitchenette, bathroom. It’s an old motel, still looks the same as I remember when I was a kid, but everything is clean and in working order. TV seemed newer, AC worked well enough, beds were smaller than I’d like, and the whole place could stand to be updated. Grounds were clean, staff was super friendly, pool was warm (open 10am-7pm), and you’re right on the beach. It’s about 5-10 min drive to the Boardwalk. Overall it was positive and we enjoyed our stay. My only complaints: parking is TIGHT; was constantly worried about my new car getting banged up. Room was clean but...

We stayed 4 nights at the Villa Nova Motel, as we celebrated a friend's milestone birthday.||||We were in room 104 which is on the covered walkway from the lobby to the pool, and is shaded because of it. The room had huge picture windows, almost floor to ceiling, as did all the rooms.||||There were 2 double beds, TV, A/C, closet, 4 drawer bureau, table and 4 chairs.||||There was a small kitchen area with a microwave, 2-burner stove, small fridge, sink, coffee maker (but no coffee), toaster, electric can opener, cups, plates, silverware, knives, multiple pots, and an exhaust fan.||||The small bathroom had a tub and shower.||||There were 2 chairs and a small table outside. And the ice machine was just steps away.||||The pool was just steps away too, and access to the beach was at the other end of the pool.||||The maids all wore uniforms, which I thought was a nice touch.||||The staff were all friendly and helpful.||||There was free parking, when you displayed your parking pass...
