The Cardinal has been in Wildwood for a long time. Its perfect spot on the corner of 23rd and Atlantic Avenue makes it close enough to walk the 2 blocks to the beach, but far enough to drown out the noise of the boardwalk. I stayed in a standard room with my cousin, aunt, and uncle. There were two double beds, a TV, a bathroom, and a fridge. As hotels go in Wildwood, this is one of the best. It has a big pool and perfect sun spots, plus it is on Atlantic Avenue, where there are always people-watching opportunities.
A few complaints: The week we were down just so happened to be very cool, in the mid-80s. The days before we arrived, our family told us that the air-conditioning broke in the 97°F weather. Not cool!! Also, we were told that it's lights out by 10:30pm and that no loud music was to be played at the pool area. I don't remember this happening in prior years.
