The motel is a very comfy place. It has three floors and the surroundings are quiet. The room is pretty big and it has a great view of the boardwalk and the wildwood sign. Place is great it’s only a half a block away from the boardwalk. Staff is really polite and gives you recommendations.

My husband and I did a quick day trip and ended up staying over night. We arrived early and the staff was nice enough to let us checkin early. They also upgraded our room and no additional charge. The hotel is a bit outdated but the cleanliness was 10/10. There’s a nice size pool on the property that goes as deep as 9ft so please be careful. Over all we will be back! Great staff. Great stay!

The toilet was not attached to floor very well the whole thing rocked like crazy, the shower water pressure was horrible a camper does better. The outlet that fridge was plugged into was so loose from wall when plugging something else in it was sparking, there was an electrical current going straight to the metal of the fridge and it would shock you each time opening it. We did tell owner it was shocking us but alls he did was tighten the outlet on wall.

This is my second time staying here, and I absolutely LOVE it here! The managers are so warm and welcoming. I booked a last-minute, mother-daughter trip and got this room for an absolutely unbeatable price. Ironically, I'm staying in the same room I stayed in 6 or 7 years ago. I have nothing but good things to say about the El Ray! It's super close to the boardwalk and beach (right in front of the Convention Center). There is ample parking, and the rooms are very clean and beautiful! I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. Our room was literally spotless when we arrived. We will most definitely be coming back in the future! 5 stars across the board for sure! Please ignore the 1-star reviews. In my opinion, they're all bogus. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the pool. Someone claimed that "four people almost drowned because it goes up to 9 feet and you have to sign a waiver that releases the hotel from responsibility if you get hurt in it." Just about every hotel I've ever stayed at in Wildwood makes you sign a waiver, and the pool is VERY CLEARLY marked with signs telling people how deep it is in which spots. Our room is absolutely spotless and everything works perfectly. I've talked to a few of the other guests and seen another room, and it looks just as beautiful as ours. I think some people are too picky and will find anything to complain about.

Property is so old definitely needs renovation, it’s clean but so old. I book a suit or at least that’s what they call it but actually it’s a room divided into two, each room has a small bed . Only one electric outlet in the whole suite, the AC is blowing directly on the bed few inches away. The grill was filthy nobody cleaned for a long long time. The best thing about this place is the location. Not going back.
