SHALIMAR RESORT, Wildwood Crest

The hotel sits in a quiet area of Wildwood Crest, within walking distance of the beach and a short Jitney ride ($3 per person each way) to the Wildwood Boardwalk and Morey's Piers amusement park (3 km). Centennial Park is a 2-minute walk away, and Cape May is easily accessible by car. Free private parking is available on site, and additional free non-metered street parking is available overnight. The location is ideal for families seeking a beach vacation with easy access to nearby attractions.

The hotel offers a variety of room types, including standard rooms, suites with kitchenettes, and townhouses with 1-3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Many rooms have private balconies, some with ocean or pool views. Efficiency units include a 2-burner stove. All rooms have private bathrooms, air conditioning, and heating. Room quality varies: some units have been updated with modern bathrooms and comfortable beds, while others retain older fixtures. Soundproofing between rooms is minimal, so road-facing or ground-floor rooms may be noisier. For a quieter stay, request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor. The property is a retro-style motel with a mix of renovated and original units.

The Shalimar Resort does not have an on-site restaurant or bar. Some room packages may include breakfast; check your booking details.
