About this property

Welcome to Clarem Happy Days Inn

Clarem Happy Days Inn offers basic accommodations equipped with minifridges and microwaves, complemented by complimentary parking and Wi-Fi. Rooms are air-conditioned and designed to be kid-friendly, though the property does not allow pets and lacks an airport shuttle service. Check-in is from 3:00 PM, with check-out by 11:00 AM.

Located a block from the Wildwood Boardwalk, this informal hotel places guests within easy walking distance of popular attractions such as Raging Waters Water Park and Morey's Piers, a beachfront amusement park with numerous rides and seasonal water parks. The Cape May County Park & Zoo is also nearby, offering free admission to visitors interested in wildlife and green spaces.

Guest reviews highlight the convenience of the location and the friendly, accommodating staff, particularly noting the helpfulness of the reception team and the cleanliness of the rooms. While some guests mention the modest size of the rooms and simple amenities, the overall experience suits visitors focused on spending time outdoors at the beach and local attractions rather than seeking extensive on-site facilities.

This property may appeal to small families or couples looking for a no-frills stay close to the oceanfront entertainment, where value and location take precedence over luxury. Limited parking space can be a consideration during peak times, but an overflow lot is available, making it manageable for most guests.

Great place for couples or a small family. In walkable distance to the boardwalk and very friendly owners. I just wish that the shower heads were adjustable because as a taller person, I kept hitting my head on the shower head.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and everything I needed was easily accessible. What really made my experience exceptional, though, was the outstanding service I received from Tony. She went above and beyond to make sure my stay was smooth and enjoyable. From her warm welcome to her helpful recommendations, Tony was an absolute gem. You can tell she genuinely cares about the guests, and her kindness truly made a difference.

This place is as advertised. Clean. Cozy. Convinient. Around 1000 feet away from the famous Boardwalk of Wildwood, NJ. No pool here but you got the ocean!! No room service but the crew is very friendly at reception. Reception and check was next door at another property. One group owns 4 total properties and the parking lot is shared and have multiple exits and entrances to the lot. This is not a place if you are looking for a peaceful place. This is in the area of where all usual Boardwalk activities happen. Young kids and youths enjoy the surrounding. No elevator. And you still have to go over 5-6 steps even if you get the rooms on the ground floor. So just contact the desk once you book. They are really really friendly and accomodating. Enjoy if you stay here.

Great stay! Checked in next door at Key West, got a bunch of coupons and locations of restaurants with discounts for staying here. Room is bigger than I anticipated - perfect for my fiancé and I - and cleaner than many other motels I’ve stayed at in Wildwood. Parking was tight with a Friday arrival, but they do have an overflow lot if it comes to that. AC was cold, but we opted for opening the window often since the weather was great. You literally can’t beat the location if you’re spending most of your time on the beach or the boards. Great view of Mariner’s from our window! When some shore motels are charging over a thousand for a weekend, you truly can’t beat the value of this property. Will definitely stay again!

Great location right by boardwalk and the beach. Cute updated room. My room had a year 2000 cable type thing where it’s 2025 with those streaming and smart tvs. It have connected motels to use for pool. Check in was smoothly process. Definitely might rent again in the future.

The room i was in 504 was updated. It had a refrigerator, window a/c unit which cooled the room well. A microwave a closet and cable TV. The room was on the small side but very workable. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable about local happenings. Room cleaning was daily without asking. All in all a very nice stay! We did rebook two dates for next year.

A hidden gem! This is the first time we stayed here and we loved it! The hotel has been renovated and is clean and well kept. It was just a bedroom, which was all we needed, but we might want more space if we were staying longer than the weekend. The location is unbeatable! We were able to pop back to our room in between boardwalk rides and go to the diner right around the corner for breakfast. We will definitely be back!
