This motel ranks among the very top motels we have ever stayed at. Staff at check-in was efficient and very friendly. The room was clean, well-designed and attractively decorated, as was the entire building. The breakfast was ample, biscuits and gravy, eggs, sausage, oatmeal, bagels, doughnuts, yogurt, you name it. Also a nice variety of beverages. The great room with cozy fireplace and computer access for guests was wonderful. Will be looking forward to staying at the Wildwood Lodge again!

Everything stood out! Staff was awesome. Clean room, just really cool atmosphere/decor. Outdoor fireplace was nice. Close to restaurants, hot breakfast. Pool available if you like that. I would recommend this place to anyone. Can’t forget being able to bring my beautiful pup is non-negotiable! Price was same as other places I’ve stayed, that did not even compare. Definitely 5⭐️

We stay here once a year and it is usually perfect. Our bed was not comfortable this time. My husband and I both woke up with sore backs. It was not a good 3.5 hour drive home with sore backs.

Not your average hotel. The woodsy lodge theme is fun and not too "rustic." The pool is beautiful. There's a fire pit with Klondike chairs outside. The beds were comfortable.
