I will definitely become a repeat customer
Pros:

The staff was friendly and profession. The entire facility was very clean and well maintained. The retro vibe throughout the facility from the office, to my room, and especially the lobby made me feel like I stepped back in time but with the modern conveniences of today.

Cons:

I was pleased with everything

An ocean experience so close to the beach.
Pros:

We really enjoyed the design of the hotel and the decor in the mid-century style. It's also in the center of the action in Wildwood, at the epicenter so to speak. Since we were there in the off season, we didn't get to use the pool or the nearby mini golf course, but there's a retro futuristic lounge with a pool table that's still open. Also, most of the rooms have balconies and views of the ocean so that's a big plus. Our double queen suite was roomy and could fit up to six people including the fold out couch in the livingroom area.

Cons:

It was great that the coffee was free, but it would have been nice to have Starbucks or more of a premium-level blend.

We enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay again.
Pros:

The rooms were clean and smelled fresh. We really liked the decor. The whole vibe of the hotel was really cool. We didn't get to use the pool because it was raining, but it looked clean and had a fun shape. I appreciated the kitchenette in the suite. We also liked that the tv's had Youtube and other streaming apps available, instead of just cable.

Cons:

There's nothing about the hotel that I didn't like.

Pros:

Easy to get to. Comfortable. Clean.

Cons:

We were given a room in an older building not the main building. Not a real issue we really only slept there. Would have liked a "regular" room
This room was more of a guest house

Starlux is a great option for a quick and budget friendly stay in Wildwoods.
Pros:

Staff is very friendly and want to help. Location is great and close to anything you could need. Half a block from the boardwalk and beach and lots of restaurants and coffee shops to choose from.

Cons:

Nothing was disappointing. It’s a great place to stay if you want to balance budget with cleanliness and central location.
