My husband and I went to this Inn for our anniversary. We had seen the pictures online and were excited about the "Happy Days" suite. Upon arrival we were initially disappointed, but decided to stay and make the best of it. We enjoyed ourselves but it was not worth $300/night. We would not return to the Wildwood Inn. While the theme rooms are very creative and well decorated, I'm afraid that management has not attempted to keep them clean and updated. The pool was very relaxing and the hot tub soothing, but there was noticeable mildew around the pool/waterfall and I wasn't convinced of the upkeep. +The room was well decorated. +The pool's decor is tropical looking with real palm trees and a warm feel. The pool and hot tub were each heated to comfortable temperatures. -The hallway and our room smelled VERY strongly of cigarette smoke (online some rooms were marked "non smoking," so the others must be "smoking" by default). We both woke up in the night because of the smell of cigarette smoke in the blankets. -The room was mostly clean, although we found hair in the sink/bathroom and an unlit cigarette in the bed. -The towels were very thin, cheap and were not provided in enough quantity (2). -The advertised "4ft x 6ft Projection TV" was replaced with a smaller flat-screen. -The bed seemed smaller than advertised. It is situated in an old car, which is a very cool idea, but not practical for tall people. -The lights for the room were hard to find and not mapped out. -The fridge was an old coke machine fridge which wasn't clean inside and I'm not sure it reached acceptable temperatures for keeping food properly refrigerated. -The jets for the jacuzzi were VERY loud. -It took the shower about 5 minutes to run hot water. The water pressure was weak. -The air conditioner/heater was a small wall unit. -The advertised juke box did not work. -The pool was across the parking lot from our suite.

Pros: Well decorated

Cons: Unclean, not maintained, low-quality amenties

Editor's Review

This re-created South Sea island and a tropical rainforest is fantasyland, Kentucky-style.  See the full editorial review.
