We had a great stay at Wildwood. The WiFi worked well, the rooms were clean, the pool was fun, the fire pit and fireplace were on and ready for guest, and the staff was helpful and kind. The breakfast had a lot of options (waffles, biscuits and gravy, eggs, cereal, apples, toast, bagels, yogurt, juice) and was what you’d expect for continental breakfast. We would definitely stay there again!

The staff were super cool. Jen and Renee gave us a lot of helpful info and took care of us without hesitation when we asked for anything. Breakfast was great— lots of options and a waffle station are awesome. Room was comfy and clean with plenty of towels. Location is near many restaurants and shopping options so finding your way around is easy. Will stay again when in DM.

The staff there is really kind and thoughtful. They were able to help my mom and I switch to a handicap room. Moreover they helped my mom when she forgot her purse in the lobby. However the place was outdated but the cabin camping theme was fun. The breakfast spread was had a lot of variety.
