Just returned from a wknd trip with my family. The motel is very well maintained and clean. The staff was welcoming and pleasant. One thing we noticed there was no "seashore odor" in our room, just smelled fresh and clean . Anything extra we requested was delivered to our room within minutes. They even replaced the full size older refrigerator, with a brand new one (within 15 mins, I must add), when I had called to say the loud motor kept me up all night! We thought that was above and beyond. Thank you! Housekeeping staff were also helpful /friendly. We're already making plans to stay there in 2024. Nothing really negative, but the review recommends sprinkling in a few tips/rec's: Pullout couch/bed mattress very thin, too low to floor. Slides frequently. Noisy ac window unit. Loud music around pool at 9 a.m too early. No wall lamp or convenient lighting for reading near pullout bed. All not deal breakers, would still make a return visit.

My husband’s family been coming to Imperial for 37 years. I’ve come for the last 15. The owners simply can’t do enough to improve your stay. Anything you need or ask for is handled within minutes! Even when I apologize for bothering yet again, they shut me down and let me know it is their pleasure. Our family did tour other hotels to see if any compared and there simply aren’t any that are as clean or as open air so that you can gather outside with your loved ones. This year we had 50+ people come and my parents joined the tradition this year. My father is very fussy about cleanliness and he didn’t have a bad word to say. He mentioned that he would much rather come here than drive to Myrtle Beach, which was the only acceptable option for him for as long as I can remember. Prices are affordable and so family friendly!! So thankful for this hidden gem that I would have never found without my husband and his family. Our twins have been raised here for a week each summer. We have visited Rehoboth and stayed in a hotel on the boards with a pool overlooking the boardwalk. It is honestly disgusting and overpriced. My twins didn’t enjoy themselves either because we were trapped in a room instead of outside enjoying the atmosphere. Imperial is the best! We love it.

This has to be my 8th time staying at the imperial 500. I've stayed there when I was a kid and have loved it so much I have now brought my kids here. My son even said when I was looking at places to stay he made sure we stayed at the place with the dolphin by the pool. We just booked for August of 2025 and can't wait. Staff is always real accommodating & rooms are clean. I've worked at a hotel before and I know what to look for and these rooms are clean. Shuffleboard outside and mini arcade right there means there is always something for kids to do. They have grills and little round tables to enjoy meals outside. The rooms with the kitchens come with just about everything you'd need to make a meal. I wouldn't stay anywhere else!

Another perfect stay at the Imperial 500! Family owned and operated and the Johnson Family treats guests like family! Grounds are so clean, as are the rooms. They upgrade every year and boy did they for this season! Additional high top tables with chairs in the common area, an additional picnic table, and now all 6 are covered with umbrellas, great, comfy Adirondack chairs, new shower heads in bathrooms, irons and ironing boards in every room too! So many "behind the scenes" upgrades as well to keep the property in perfect condition. Great location. Gorgeous beach view, beautiful park across the street that has concerts biweeky. So fun here. Just the Best!!!!

The owners along with their staff and absolutely wonderful! They couldn’t be more accommodating. No ask is too big, and they always assist with a smile. This year we traveled with a group of 70. Because we stay here every single year, they know our families and make us feel like we are at home. The first floor is wonderful for families with small children. Everything is always clean and the facility is maintained to a high standard. I like to bring my own pillows and a favorite blanket, as humidity can make the room feel damp at times. This is just part of coastal life. I keep it in my car until evening when I’m ready to go to bed. However, this is only a factor on very humid weeks.

We won't stay anywhere else in Wildwood. Other hotels can't compare for: location, price and cleanliness. The rooms are spacious and well maintained. This is a family run hotel where guests come back year after year because its quiet and the ground's are meticulously kept. We love the Imperial 500.

Just returned from our yearly visit to the Imperial 500 and it was great as always. The cleanliness and friendliness of the staff is second to none (special shout out to Aida who always takes such good care of us and our room). The location can’t be beat and the owners go out of their way to make sure everyone is having a great time. Can’t wait to visit next year.

My family and I have been coming here the past few years, and Imperial 500 never lets us down. The property is kept meticulously. The amenities there from the pool, the arcade, pool tables, corn hole boards, shuffle board pad, washers and dryers, and multiple NEW ice machines are a huge plus. The owners Jackie and Jimmy are accommodating, friendly and take great care of there property. Its a short walk to the beach and conveniently located a short drive (or decent walk) from the boardwalk, Cape May and nearby restaurants. Recently they have started updating the rooms which has made the stay even nicer. They provide an affordable family vacation and unlike many other cinderblock dumps in WW, they make it a pleasure to stay there. We look forward to coming back in the future, and for many years to come.

We have always liked staying here because it is family owned and owners are on the premises. I also enjoy seeing families with young children having great experiences and making memories for themselves. We brought our children here along with other families and our grown children still talk about the fun we all had.

The motel was clean, quiet, kitchy and welcoming. The family owned facility has a welcoming caring staff that cares for the place like it was their own. We thoroughly enjoyed the location to the beach and Wildwood Crest park. The only downside was the narrow parking spots.
