Bugs in room, room dirty, musty, out-dated, zero sound insulation (literally sounded like there was a herd of elephants in room above), guests were noisy and obnoxious, staff was rude. Would never, ever recommend .

I recently booked a room at the cardinal and was told I would have to stay on the non-pool side. They made it sound like I was being punished!!! However when I arrived I could not have asked for anything better. This was not a punishment. The non-pool side as they called it was quiet and peaceful. The maid I... More

My husband and I recently got back from a four day getaway stay at the Cardinal Motel. We have stayed at this motel for over 20 years. The great staff and cleanliness always impresses me. We had a really nice room, very clean with two double beds. They keep the rooms and grounds very, very clean. The family that owns... More

I would stay at the Cardinal Motel a thousand times over! My husband has stayed there ever since he was a young child, on his family vacations. We started that tradition when we got married and with our children. The rooms are clean, air conditioning works, and everyone has a great time! The family that owns the Cardinal is wonderful...

Booked a room here for 3 nights for Beach Blast soccer tournament. Hadn't been to Wildwood in many years and a friend recommended staying at the Cardinal. It was clean, in a good location and the owner and staff were very courteous and friendly. I would happily stay there again.

Recently I stayed at the Cardinal and must say it was ok. The rugs really need a good cleaning. I think the concrete outside maybe cleaner than the rugs. There is a gentlemen who I believe is the oldest son and he is always cleaning especialy the concrete when somethings spills. I must say that I was a little upset... More

My teenage daughter and I have been here twice and love staying here. Rooms are clean, staff is wonderful!! We will be staying again this year and hopefully bringing my son, daughter-in-law and their 3 sons for a real family time together.
