City of Enchantment

Wildwood, New Jersey.

Isn't.

Boy, isn't it. It feels old. No charm, no hey, I'm glad I'm here. No sense of delight. Similarly, this hotel. OMG. It is, shall we say, a jail cellblock, designed and built in the 1960s, with surly staff and cheap carpetting. How cheap is this place? They charge a refundable $20 for the TV remote! (And the key, my daughter points out).

Nevair again!!!

You're in jail? :-)

Wildwood is actually known for its 1950's motels. I don't know if the interiors have been updated since the 1950's, though...

(Sorry!)

I felt like I was in jail. Cheap rooms, built for quick maintenance by underpaid staff.

I did find that the further you got from the beach, the nicer the housing. It wasn't, as a rule, necessarily nice, but it was nicer.

That hotel, though -- ugh!
