Nice hotel. Very family friendly. Centrally located to wildwood boardwalk and Cape May. Pool was clean and plenty of deck chairs. Walking distance to the beach was a plus! Balcony was a nice touch.

Average hotel but not a resort
first time to Wildwood. El Coronado was a great location on the beach in the quieter part of Wildwood Crest. Beds and linens were not that comfortable. Pool and spa were nice and well maintained.

Such a gem! We were there for my husbands graduation from Training Center Cape May and stumbled on this place. Could not have beat it. Such a great beach side place with a great view from our balcony. The price was also fantastic for what you get. El Coronado and Wildwood Crest will now be a place we put on our list to vacation in the future!

Room cleanliness was good. However, thermostat was not working with heat, nor changing AC temperature. Wall control would only react as on or off. Room 209.

This hotel had no heat whatsoever called apprentice and they said it’s a summary resort we were freezing. I had to leave early morning. Did not stay the other night that I booked and did not get a refund.
