🤖 AI Summary
Lotus Inn is a 2-star property in Wildwood Crest located at 3601 Atlantic Avenue. GPS measurement puts the beach at 990 feet, which is farther than older step-count style listings suggest — the measured distance is the more reliable signal for actual proximity. Amenities on record are limited to parking and wifi. The average nightly rate signal is $229. With few extras beyond basic parking and internet access, this is a straightforward, no-frills budget stay rather than a resort-style option.

⚠️ Cons
- − Beach is nearly 1,000 feet away by GPS, not immediately adjacent

Other Top Hotels in Wildwood Crest
Nassau Inn
Nassau Inn in Wildwood Crest measures 20 feet from the waterline, the shortest GPS-verified beach distance in the current 207-hotel dataset and the reason it ranks at the very top of the scoring system. At that distance, beachfront is a literal description, not marketing language: the sand is effectively the front yard. The property also carries a pool, on-site parking, wifi, and kitchenette units, the last of which meaningfully changes the budget math for families staying multiple nights by cutting down restaurant costs. Wildwood Crest itself skews quieter and more residential than the boardwalk core, which suits the profile of a hotel built around direct beach access rather than nightlife.

Reges Oceanfront Resort in Wildwood Crest is flagged as an oceanfront property, and prior AI rankings have described it as directly on the beach, giving it one of the more beach-forward positions among nearby hotels.
