Chris and Lisa are the best and the hotel is well maintained. It’s family oriented and quiet with a balcony deck great for people watching. It’s well located, just 2 blocks from the boardwalk by Convention Center. I would highly recommend this hotel!!!
- Adrianne (10/5): Excellent stay - How friendly the staff was and how close it is to everything. Owners are very hands on and take pride in their property!!

Very Comfortable bed and sheets were awesome, Lisa I would love to Order a set ?
Quite except for last night loud music from somewhere but it was enjoyed from a far and not a problem.
Ask for one with a larger bathroom
If we were to come again I probably would ask for a ground floor. NA

- S3306FOkeithj (10/5): Another great stay - Another fantastic stay at the Marlane! Our second year staying here for the Barefoot Festival and was just as great as last year.
The property is immaculately clean and well kept, the owners Chris and Lisa are always present and friendly, Chris is always working on something, lol!
We love the pool and the sun deck every morning for our coffee. Want to call out the great daily maid service and what a spectacular job the ladies do cleaning the room and keeping those towels stocked. We are regulars now and will only stay at the Marlane! Perfect location, clean, and amazing owners! See you next year!!
- Ellen (8/5): We had a lot of fun, just wish the beds were more comfortable. - Lisa, the manager, was lovely. Free coffee and tea were great! The beds were very hard and uncomfortable.
- Patricia L. (8/5): - Owners were accommodating.
- carmen (8/5): - This property is very nice and has restaurants close by and the board walk is close. The clerk was awesome
- John (10/5): Exceptional -
- Phillip (9/5): A pleasant stay -
- Jeff (8/5): Very good - Pride of ownership
- Cara (9/5): Comfortable and quiet motel close to the beach - We appreciated how comfortable the beds were and how quiet it was. We slept great here which we so appreciate. It was also well located, an easy 15min walk to the beach and directly opposite a good restaurant / bar called the copper dog which we went to a few times during our stay.
- Michael (10/5): Super friendly. Super clean. - Very friendly. Very clean. Great location. Most comfortable mattress on the planet! Really! N/A
- ayla912 (10/5): Still the Best Place to Stay in Wildwood - We come every year and this is still the #1 best place to stay in Wildwood. Spotlessly clean, well run, quiet and family oriented. So glad they banned smoking on the property this year, made for a much for enjoyable experience. I always always recommend the Marlane to anyone wanting to stay in Wildwood.
- Aleksander (10/5): Me and my two girls had a great time there. - Close to all. Close to the beach, close to the water parks, close to the boardwalk, close to the restaurants.
- Polly (10/5): Exceptional -
- 700mimik (10/5): DIAMOND AMONG ZIRCONIA'S - Once again, this place DOESN'T disappoint!!!!! this place is a DIAMOND among Zirconia's. I was late booking this year and didn't get to book my stay initially. When we got to Wildwood the place that I did book was horrible. We got our money back. I called Lisa and asked if they had anything and luckily, she did! She is a GODSENT!!!! Our vacation was saved thanks to Lisa. When you stay at the Marlane, you really feel like you are home. Lisa and Chris go above and BEYOND to accommodate EVERYONE!!! The place is EMACULATE, and the beds are soo comfortable. It makes you feel like you are home. NOTHING compares to this place and nothing ever will! I was recommended this place in 2021 by the Wildwood 365 FB page, and I am soo grateful.
- William (10/5): Exceptional -
- Danyele (10/5): Exceptional - Property was clean, staff were pleasant, and had many great amenities. Close to the boardwalk and a recreational park. Overall great stay.
- Connector55915169852 (10/5): Very pleased - Just spent 4 days there with my 3 sons and their families. What a great place, owners were super friendly and attentive.

- Gregory (10/5): Exceptional -

- Connie (10/5): I Love it There and will definitely be back!!! - I liked everything about the Marlane!! Lisa and Chris are wonderful! They keep everything nice and clean!! Nothing! I think it’s great the way it is!!
- David (10/5): Couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend our mini-vacation. - Everything. Owners and staff were amazing. The place was spotless and extremely quiet in the evening. Other guests were also very friendly. There was nothing we didn’t like. Our stay was amazing.
- S3306FOkeithj (10/5): Best motel we have ever stayed - Where to start with this fantastic motel! First of all the owners Chris and Lisa are the nicest most hospitable couple! Chris gave us a tour of the property upon arrival and even helped carry luggage up the stairs! The property is immaculately clean and well taken care of. The pool is perfect size for the property. As for the room we had the room with 1 king and a double, equipped with a small table, microwave, and small fridge. Beds are very comfortable and the daily maid service is very appreciated. This was our first time staying here, but it will be the ONLY motel we stay in Wildwood! Thank you Chris and Lisa for everything, see you next year!
- Michelle (5/5): Passable - The heated pool and staff were friendly The beds were hard the water got hot in the shower small bathroom clothes felt damp and I’m a smoker and it would of been nice to sit out in front of room instead of walking outback
- Gabrielle (10/5): - We had an absolutely lovely experience at Marlane Motel.
It was clean, I loved that there were no carpets in the room (carpets give me the heebie jeebies), the hosts were so helpful, and the pool was beautiful. We highly recommend staying here

- Ashley (10/5): Exceptional -
- 700mimik (10/5): A hidden Gem in Wildwood - This is our 3rd year staying here and I wouldn’t stay ANYWHERE else. This is by far the cleanest and the most amazing owners I’ve ever met. Lisa & Chris always look out for their guests to make sure they’re accommodated.
The beds are so comfortable and up to date. You feel like you’re at home when you stay here. I’ve never had an actual good nights sleep in Wildwood until we found this place. I HIGHLY recommend this place. You will not be disappointed.
- Tyler (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anthony (10/5): Exceptional -
- Morris (10/5): Exceptional - This is a little different review. While we originally booked the Marlane Motel for a weekend in Wildwood (we liked the location & the price), we actually did not stay there. Unbeknownst to us the day we were arriving there was a power outage on "the island". We were about 45 mins away when we answered the call from Lisa @ Marlane(she had called multiple times before, we just didn't realize) to let us know that they had no power. She explained that they did not know when the power would be back on & recommended a couple other places we could try, because not every place was without power. Lisa was very kind & understanding, explained that we would not be charged for the night we did not stay, whether it was 1 or all 3. While we ultimately decided to stay all 3 nights at the place we found, because logistically with a 10 & 8 yr old, changing hotels was just easier on us. Lisa completely understood when I called to let her know & she also called a couple days later to confirm that we would be refunded fully. We feel that the way Lisa handled our situation & the way she communicated was great customer service. We feel that had we stayed, we would have been treated with the same great customer service. So if you are planning a trip to Wildwood, we would highly recommend you consider staying @ Marlane Motel
- Kimberly (10/5): - Great night stay , owner/ manager very friendly and accommodating. Cute little place to stay very clean, close to convention center
- Dustin (10/5): Exceptional -
- sherrir327 (10/5): The little gem - We were here for a conference at the convention center and so glad we found the Marlane. The couple who run the motel are friendly and very helpful. The room was small but all we needed. Everything was very clean. We didn’t use the pool but it was crystal clear and the area around it was very nice It was a short walk to the boardwalk and across from a very nice park. Will definitely be returning to this gem
- Shangyu (5/5): Nice location, too humid - The owners and the staffs are really nice. We enjoyed the pool and the great location. The first floor room, at least ours, was too humid. The towels stayed wet during our visit. The furnitures and the beds were wet... It gets worse when I knew they don't have a dryer.
- James (10/5): Exceptional -
- Charles (9/5): Superb - Location was excellent many restaurants in the area not tourist resturants.The room was exceptionally clean. The room location was exceptional also. The microwave and refrigerator were very clean and nice size There was nothing about the hotel that I did notike
- Gary (10/5): Exceptional -
- Francois (9/5): Superb -
- Alamleh (9/5): Great location for a quick getaway. Family friendly and welcoming. - it was family friendly and the host Lisa really made you feel welcomed and as if you were family.
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional - the location was great and the entire place was spotless. very pleased with our stay. and the owner was so nice!
- Jeannette (10/5): - All staff and guest super friendly. Staff very knowledgeable with things in and around the area. Perfect location for peaceful relaxation.
- 543rickg (10/5): Another great year at the Marlane Motel. - This was the second year my wife and I stayed at the Marlane Motel. This is by far the best place we have ever stayed. My wife and I stayed for five weeks this year. Every day there is like a day in paradise. We spend every week with our close friends and make new friends every day while we are there. It doesn’t get any better than this place. We are already looking forward to next year. We already made our reservations for 2022. Chris and Lisa are two of the nicest people we ever met. Stay here and you will never stay anywhere else ever again. Thanks Chris and Lisa. We will see you in May……..
- Daniel (10/5): A very nice and comfortable place to stay. - This is an older hotel, but very well maintained. The room was clean and comfortable, though a little on the small side. The A/C unit was rather loud, but kept the room comfortable in hot August. The on-sight parking is adequate and not as cramped as other mhotels where I’ve stayed in Wildwood.
This is a family owned hotel and they care very deeply about the guest experience. The owner checked me in and was VERY friendly and helpful. She made sure to explain everything to me thoroughly. I brought my bike with me and there was a private area to chain it up. There are also 2 outdoor grills and a private, covered patio for eating. They have beach chairs and boogie boards for guests to borrow.
The location is great, just 2 blocks from the Boardwalk. I was a little concerned about crowd noise, but the rooms are very well isolated. I could not hear my neighbors on either side and they couldn’t hear my TV playing at night.
I spoke with several guests who have been coming to this hotel for 30+ years. That’s a solid testimony to the friendly service and overall value of this hotel for the price. This may not be the most modern or fancy, but it is a quality place to stay.
I highly recommend this hotel!
- Excursion35374900409 (10/5): Family Getaway - Won’t stay anywhere else!!! Thank you Lisa and Chris for yet again another fantastic family getaway!! Year after year you never disappoint! Location is amazing, pool is clean and heated, Clean rooms with full access to the grills as well as a boogie board for the beach :) See you next year!
- MRSmith1914 (10/5): Great Stay in a great location - Had a great experience. Very family friendly with a convenient location. Everything was clean and well maintained. Lisa was very helpful with great recommendations. I would be staying here again when in the area.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice and clean
- TheresaS78 (10/5): Mini family vacation - My husband & I stayed at the Marlane Motel for the first time in early June with friends. We had the Type A - Breezeway Apartment & it was just perfect for our getaway weekend. We liked it, & the motel, so much we booked it again for our family mini vacation this past weekend. Lisa & Chris (the owners) are so nice & friendly. They make you feel very welcome & their staff are great too!!! The rooms are well kept & clean, the property is great - awesome patio area in the back with grills & covered seating area, the pool is heated which I loved & the location is wonderful too, right across from a playground/park, close to the boardwalk & beach too. Oh, there is complimentary coffee in the morning too (my husband loved this). We truly enjoyed our stays at the Marlane & look forward to staying there again. Thanks Lisa & Chris for all you do to make your guests feel so welcome. Best regards, Theresa S.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Im definitely going back! The owner/ managers who live on the property take obvious pride in caring for their hotel. There is a very friendly vibe everywhere. I met other guests who return year after year....
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great place great owners
- Miguel (10/5): Wildwood vacation for two. - Our stay was amazing, nice size room and very clean and sanitize, good view and nice pool with warm water in the pool and very atmosphere and people also. we are only two blocks away from the boardwalk many things to do and see out there. Lots of fun and restaurants too.
- 301kimmarieb (10/5): Memorial Day 2021 at the Marlane - We stayed at the Marlane this past weekend, and despite the rainy weather, we had a wonderful weekend away! We were two families with young teens and rented two Type C rooms. This place is a treasure! Comfortable, clean and appointed with everything you can think of. There were tennis rackets and basketballs for the courts across the street. Two sparkling clean grills in the back with a covered patio. The Kitchenette in the room was well equipped with a microwave, toaster, coffee maker and full size refrigerator. Unfortunately, it was a chilly and rainy weekend. They gave us extra blankets to stay warm. Both heat and air worked perfectly. Shower water pressure was excellent. Also, you can tell that Chris and Lisa take special care in the details. There is a small covering around the ;pool area for those who prefer shade. We checked out on Memorial Day (the best weather day of the weekend) and they let us use the pool, sundeck and all amenities. We could not have felt more welcome! Thanks Lisa and Chris! We hope to come back soon!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Lisa is
- LBIHolgate2012 (10/5): Home away from home... - Another great weekend at the Marlane.
3 adults, 2 children. Had a blast. Spotless rooms; warm, clean pool; perfect location 2 blocks to beach/boards.
Lisa & Chris are amazing hosts and treat everyone like family.
- Stacey (10/5): Beach/Boardwalk Perfection! - The Marlane Motel is a simple motel that has everything we needed for a perfect vacation! Above all, the owners, Lisa & Chris, are so kind, attentive, and welcoming. They live on-site and were able to refer us to the best restaurants, bars, and local attractions. The heated pool was amazing and the rooms were super clean. There is a back patio that has tables and barbeque grills for onsite grillling that is super convenient. The owners also supply tennis rackets, bikes, and beach boards for guests to borrow. Super short walk to the fun boardwalk and close to restaurants/breakfast places. There's no reason for us to book any other place when we return to Wildwood....this place was perfect for us!
- 543rickg (10/5): Best place to stay in Wildwood. - My wife and I stayed at the Marlane one week in August and two weeks in September this year. It was highly recommended by a friend. We are so glad we discovered a gem. This is the best place we have ever stayed, period. The owners, Chris and Lisa are very kind and courteous. They make you feel like family. The motel is very clean and the rooms are extremely comfortable. The pool is spotless and well maintained. There are chairs that are both in the sun and shade to enjoy. There are tables and grills outside near the pool area, so you can cook and eat on site. The atmosphere is fantastic. I can t say enough good things about the Marlane. We spend a lot of time in Wildwood each summer with our good friends, who also stayed at the Marlane. Looking forward to coming back to the Marlane next year. Can't wait......
- cararc380 (10/5): Wonderful Stay! - My family (husband and two little boys) stayed at the Marlane Motel last week for four nights. It was a perfect getaway in difficult times. The room was ready earlier than expected. Everything was immaculate. Every day the room was cleaned to pristine standards. The owners were so nice and went out of their way to be accommodating. Because we have small kids, we knew we'd be at the boardwalk a lot. The location is great - you're a block away from the south end of the boardwalk. I timed the walk - it's five minutes... another five minutes and you're on the beach (don't forget how wide the beach is in Wildwood). The area was very quiet. There was a bagel shop, pub, and cafe all in walking distance. You really didn't have to move your car if you didn't want to. Every day we were on the beach by 10 am and then went back to the pool by 2. It was also spotless. Someone scrubbed the chairs down every morning. The value was great. Our stay was wonderful. We hope to be back!!
- Marisol919 (8/5): Nice place to stay for last minute trip - We arrived in Wildwood for a 2 night mental health break after losing my mom 3.5 weeks ago and so glad we stayed at the Marlane Hotel. The location was perfect! It was close enough to walk to the boardwalk, the three piers, convention center and local restaurants but far enough to allow a quiet experience in the neighborhood. The check-in process was easy. Lisa was very welcoming and kind. She gave great information and recommendations for restaurants in the area. We were in room 208 which was on the 2nd floor and faced the pool. Spacious for two people to enjoy as I was traveling with my daughter on a last minute trip. The bathroom had a nostalgic appeal with the tiles and doorknobs. The water pressure was AMAZING in the shower and we never ran out of hot water. There was no vent in the bathroom but it had a window you could open. The microwave in room and fridge came in handy to store leftovers and snacks. The A/C worked great. The beds were a bit firm for my liking but I made the best of it. I got to enjoy the pool on Friday and it was so refreshing. I actually did not want to get out...LOL. I would stay here again.
Disliked · There was no coffee/breakfast service due to COVID. I stayed at another hotel in July which was able to do to go which would have been nice. The beds were firm and a bit uncomfortable for my liking. The towels were thin and smaller than what I am accustomed too. If you are a big person, it can be "challenging". Considering how much we paid for the stay, I guest I expected better. No fault of the motel, however local restaurants do not take reservations so the wait can extensive to get a meal. We ate at Stella's Cafe for breakfast, Little Italy for dinner and ubered to North Wildwood for dinner at the North End American Grill. Kelly's cafe has music at night which you can hear from the rooms if you are trying to go to bed early. One of the neighboring guests did not observe quiet hours in the morning and woke us up each day.
- Pumpkalina (8/5): Marlane Motel! - We stayed at the Marlane Motel twice recently -- once at the end of June and again at the end of July -- each time for a long weekend. I was sad to leave each time. I had not been to Wildwood since approximately 15 years ago. The owners of this property are wonderful people! It was worth the trip. They do a terrific job of keeping the grounds clean, and it is a family friendly atmosphere. Parking at the motel is good too, no problem for us finding a spot.
They offer Boogie Boards and Beach chairs to borrow if guests would like to. This is very helpful and a great plus not to have to pack these items when tight on space in the car. So easy to borrow and return when done. There is a park across the street and the owners have basketballs and tennis rackets if guests would like to borrow to use at the park across the street. There is a clothes line in the back of the motel and an ice machine (always had ice). They also offer two BBQ grills to use (utensils in the office), and we used that one night as well. Nice break from the boardwalk food, and we made our own burgers and hot dogs. Pool is very clean and we used it each day. There is a small kiddie area at the pool, the first time we went in June, my 2-year old nephew used this and loved it!
This motel is One block from where the boardwalk starts (by the Convention Center) - very convenient.
BEACH: The beach is a bit of a hike to the water line, but if you plan well and bring only what you need, or have a wagon/cart, then it is easier. I enjoyed the exercise. We only saw portable bathrooms, no full public bathroom on the beach itself. So plan accordingly for that and bring hand sanitizer, etc. There is an option to park the car on the beach ($10 fee I believe) but we did not do that.
There is a cafe across the street from Marlane Motel (Kelly's) which had good food and we did take-out from there a couple of times during our stay.
This past weekend we stayed there, there were 6 of us, so we got the Breezeway Apartment (2 adjoining rooms) and this was great space for us - 2 bathrooms, 2 rooms with an adjoining door, 2 microwaves, 2 mini frigs, 2 mini safes (we did use these as well). One side of the room had a table with two chairs by the window, one queen bed and one double bed. The other side of the room had a taller table with two stools to sit at, and a queen bed and a twin size sofa bed. Everyone slept comfortably. We did not request room cleaning while there, when we needed something replenished (like towels), we asked in the office (wear a mask) - we took the old ones with us to the office and easily requested clean towels. Never an issue.
They have a roof top area which is nice for relaxing (tables and chairs up there too), to watch the sunset and just hang out. When the pool got shady later in the day and I needed to dry off from the pool, I went up there to dry off because it stayed sunny up there. They also have a covered section with a few tables at the front of the hotel and another covered section with additional tables/chairs in the back of the hotel (near BBQ grills). We loved this and gives guests room to spread out and socially distance while still being outside. We found chairs at the pool each day too.
The bathrooms are small and it is fine, it's vacation, everything worked and there is a hairdryer in the bathrooms too. One downside is there is no vent, and that is the only downside of the property. There is a small window you can crank open in the bathroom but it could still use a vent.
We will be back - already looking forward to next time!
- jackier407 (10/5): GREAT CLEAN MOTEL - My family and I stayed at Marlane Motel this week and it was great. We were worried about cleanliness because we have bad experiences in Wildwood but this place exceeded our expectations. Every morning the pool is cleaned, all the railings and chairs were wiped, and the rooms were spotless. From checking in we felt very welcomed by the owner and she couldn’t have been nicer. Very relaxing environment and a block from the beach. Will definitely stay here again.
- Irishprncss (10/5): Hidden Gem - Marlane Motel was amazing! It is a hidden gem! Place was very clean, rooms were perfect for what we needed. The owners were very friendly, helpful, and offered little extras like a basketball for the park across the street! Location was great, oh and the pool was a great addition!
*With all the COVID issues currently, the place was small enough that it wasn’t crowded, every morning the chairs, railings, tables, and everything in common areas were cleaned. Rooms cleaned daily unless you chose to not have it down. More then enough room to social distance in common areas too!
- Lee (10/5): 10 out of 10 - Lisa is the best! Great customer satisfaction!
No need for me to check out any other hotel
- MelSol (10/5): - Clean room and friendly owners
Close to beach and boardwalk
- Rebecca (10/5): Lovely - This was such a lovely place to stay. The rooms are the most modern that I have seen in Wildwood. I really appreciate the white sheets on the bed! The room was super clean as well and the house keeping staff was super friendly. The management does an amazing job of making you feel at home from coffee available in the morning and lemon water in the eve, to sports equipment and boogie boards to borrow for the beaches, to a picnic area with a grill. Location is great! Two blocks from boardwalk and next to a park. This is my first choice for a Wildwood stay!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I loved that this property was so close to the boardwalk and everything we needed to go to all around. Lisa went above and beyond to accommodate us I definitely recommend this place!! Would stay here again for sure.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Lisa, the owner was very welcoming upon our arrival. She allowed us to check in early and offered us use of her beach chairs and games. We felt as if we were guests at her home. Free water in the lobby as well. Location was excellent. 2 short blocks to the beginning of the board walk. Room was clean, bathroom small. My only suggestion would be to upgrade the bath towels as they were very small and worn. Great stay overall.
- JOHN (10/5): What a gem! - This was my wife’s first trip to Wildwood and Lisa at the Marlane Hotel was very nice to us. The hotel is very close to the beach and boardwalk. Clean and comfortable! Will stay here again!
- Rohit (10/5): Perfect - Perfect location with friendly staff, and very clean rooms. Great experience.
- Brian (10/5): Very clean and comfortable - Very well keep and clean. Good location, far enough away from the board to be quite but close enough for a easy walk.
