The Swan Motel is supposedly on its last legs and
in imminent danger of being demolished. In the fall of 2004, the motel appeared closed, though

The Caribbean is one of the most elaborate of the
Wildwood motels and was built in the late 1950's. The cursive neon script, the lighting, the curvature
of the carport and walkway. Fantastic. And best of all, word is that
this hotel has been taken off the endangered list.
