Wildwood Inn

Wildwood Inn

8/10 Good
"Very friendly mom and pop type ownership but had trouble finding help at the front due to the owner doing other duties. Figured out the WiFi password on my own and had to find the ice machine on my own as well. No bags left in the ice area. The room was clean and the parking was easily accessible to the room. The main lobby was not really useful as the had a pool table and air hockey table pushed next to each other in the corner and not useful. Looks pretty at night with the lights around the property."

"We were in the area to attend a wedding that required the use of the gondola so the location was perfect, only a 5 minute walk. The staff were nice, especially the ones in the bar. There are some great restaurants in the area as well. The parking structure has lights out so it was super dark where we parked. I wish the room had more areas to charge electronics, I’m pretty sure most people charge their phones while sleeping and there was no plug on my side, which was inconvenient."

8/10 Good
"We were a little unsure when we first pulled in. The pictures were a little misleading, but the room was clean and roomy. The people who arrived ahead of us were apparently difficult and the manager was a little upset and not super friendly. After she had a chance to calm down, she was very helpful and pleasant. The balcony view was a little disappointing. Yes, the mountains were beautiful, but didn’t particularly enjoy the highway view."

"Nicely updated older motel style lodging in a great location. Staff was very nice and helpful. Probably the best hotel shower I've ever used. Super location with easy walking to lots of dining and shops. Was originally a bit worried about being on the heavily trafficked street but once in the room we heard very little road noise. Not the fanciest but loved the location and would stay here again. Wifi wasn't great, ended up tethering to my cell phone but other than that minor complaint I was very pleased."
