DonhoNYC, thanks for the photos! Im glad you enjoyed Wildwood as much as I did! This past weekend I stayed at the new Starlux motel in Wildwood, which is designed like a modern version of 50's retro. The rooms are nice and they have double tiered lamp shades and lava lamps. The hotel's astro lounge has mid century modern furniture and it is stocked with reference books on design, and the loudspeaker plays oldies out by the kidney shaped pool.
The Starlux also rents out 2 old silver airstream trailers. They have been remodeled and are very nice inside. My husband and I reserved one for a 4 day stint. However, upon arrival in town we learned it was Harley Davidson bike rally weekend, and about 5,000 bikers had arrived. The noise was unreal and we only lasted one nite in the airstream. It was like sleeping in a paper shell, no noise buffer at all. I felt like I slept on the back of a Harley. It was like being on the set of The Wild One or The Wild Angels. So I was forced to abandon a retro dream and go into a regular Starlux room. It was nice but it just wasnt the same, because the airstream had fiestaware dishes and a turquoise sofa.
