As soon as I walked through the door, it occurred to me that I was brought back to the 70s and Gold Dust woman played through out the room. From the exceptionally comfortable beds to the marvelous bathroom, the room just gleamed in a 70’s vibration. There was even two extra orange chairs by the first bed that was so conveniently positioned for extra space. The lamps flickered through out the night as if we were at a disco. Ive never felt so safe as the property managers were always there when you least expect them! Have to add that the room had a glamorous musty atmosphere to it that made me realize I was living in the wrong century. 10/10 would recommend!!!

Place was perfect to stay at for a weekend getaway. The owners were so pleasant and friendly. I adored all the flowers as it makes the motel very colorful. Had a great weekend here. Definitely would come back.

I was so thankful for the hospitality and calming presence my 2 young grandchildren and I received. I had a terrible experience with a neighboring hotel and we we were found a room here late at night. They do run a tight ship. Room was great size for the 3 of us and very clean. It’s got the old time vibe. I can’t thank them enough for the welcoming as well as the time taken to send us off at the end of our vacation. Thanks!!!!

Majura the hotel manager was simply the best. Very accommodating, funny and very friendly. The motel was clean, in a great area and kept in great shape but it's keeper Bob. Bob was just as supper friendly and accommodating. My fiancé and I will be returning to this lovely motel for our future vacations in North Wildwood. I will recommend the Suitcase Motel to whomever is planning a vacation to North Wildwood or Wildwood.

We arrived late at night on a weekday. Wildwood was very quiet. However, when we pulled into the motel parking lot, the night manager came out to greet us -- with water too! What a warm welcome. She then proceeded to show us around the motel and gave us a choice of rooms to select from. Each room was homey, each decorated slightly differently, but all were very neat. We picked a comfy one and had a pleasant overnight.

First off, Majura is AMAZING‼ so sweet, kind, funny and very informative. She’s very very thorough! You don’t see that anymore! She told us events happening in the area as well. She has to be one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met! Room was clean and smelled good. Was quiet there which was nice. Nice pool! Cute place with plants all over well kept by the keeper Bob. He was also very friendly as well! I think he is the house keeper. Cute and small continental breakfast. The only thing that can be changed is better beds, but this place was in the middle of everything which was nice! Our beds got made everyday by Bob. He’s a sweetheart too. We will be returning in the near future for our vacations there

This small motel in Wildwood may not be the newest or fanciest, but was perfect for my wife and I and our two kids. Located in North Wildwood it is 5 short blocks from the beach and the northern end of the boardwalk. The receptionist and assistant were both warm and knowledgeable about the area. The layout is cozy and inviting with picnic tables and umbrellas. If you are looking for a place that doesn't cater to the party crowds this motel is for you.
