Wildwood Inn

Wildwood Inn

8/10 Good
"The room and the hot tub were great! The views were very good as well. The experience would have been 5 Stars, but I was very unhappy about not being able to check in even a minute earlier than 4:00pm. I started calling at noon to see if there was a possibility for an early check in, they told me to call back a little later and after I did, the door would not unlock until exactly 4:00pm. The other annoyance was that when we were outside on the balcony using the hot tub, you could smell the neighbors smoking weed."
