Riviera Resort & Suites

WiFi passwords DO NOT work, very hot, but some qualities are nice (size, pool, TV, etc.)

Pros:
–Great for families with small kids.
–Located in the middle of the boardwalk.
–Seems very clean-​however! i found a rather large spider on top of my bag the day i was leaving. — this is noted in the «con» list.
–It is private owned so they make their own rules, and there are A LOT of them. One of them to remain quiet after a certain hour but another is the crazy early pool hours
–has a stove/​fridge and large bathroom
Cons:
–Not so great for those in the mid to late 20s looking to have fun
–Pool hours close early so you cannot enjoy the pool after you spend the day on the beach or boardwalk
–Cannot put music on after a certain hour, so buzz kill…
–Found a good sized spider on my bag
–Read your email contract because the office hours are short. After a drive/​traffic, i did not get to the motel (which is what it is) I did not get to the hotel until 10:30 but the office closes at 10PM. So i had to call the owner who lives behind the office in the motel and was told it would be 10 – 15 minutes until they could open the door.
–I was not told that there is a cash deposit for keys. I did not have cash on me but thankfully my cousin did.
–Front desk owner, not very warm and welcoming. But i guess he doesnt feel the need to be since his business is doing well.
Overall, perfect for families with small kids… thats about it.

Just got back from a three-​night stay.
the good: very pleasant front desk staff. The location is the best. Pin-​drop quiet at night (they don’t put up with partying teenagers). Missing TV remote was rectified within minutes.
the bad: not enough parking for all the cars for all the rooms. They own several properties that all share a common lot. people have to block others in to get a spot. Weird.
Really pricey.
A/​C is so loud you have to shut it off to use the TV.
Hours of pool are too restrictive. would have been nice to use the pool at midnight if i wanted to (there is never a lifeguard on duty, so who cares?)
Would go back, but only on off-​dates. Just too expensive. Maybe include combo packages for discounts?

My husband and I stayed here when we took a weekend trip to WildWood, NJ. We went while we were engaged. He has been to WildWood before but it was my first time experiencing this place. We had a great time and this motel was a great help in setting the atmosphere. The staff was great during our check in, they told my husband where he could park the car they gave us wonderful suggestions for some nice local meals. Our room here was nice and private and pretty big. We had a bed, a couch, a mini kitchionette so I could make myself some coffee, a closet, a television. The bathroom had a Jacuzzi and a steam feature in the shower. The room was beautiful and so clean, I would suggest this hotel to anyone visiting Wildwood. The rates were reasonable as well.
