What happened after Hotel Impossible?

Hotel Impossible's Season 8 episode Jersey Shore Uproar, which aired 2016-11-28, featured White Caps Motel in the Wildwood area of New Jersey. Google Places lists the address, 310 E 25th Ave, in North Wildwood rather than Wildwood proper, under the name White Cap Motel, with a business status of operational. A Yelp page last updated in July 2026, carrying 29 reviews and 18 photos, continues to list the motel as an active business at that address, and Expedia's current listing likewise carries 2026 pricing and photos for the property.

Booking.com and Tripadvisor both maintain current listings as well, with Tripadvisor ranking the property among roughly three dozen North Wildwood hotels. Current listings describe an outdoor pool, free parking and Wi-Fi, and rooms with kitchens in some units, and note the motel sits under a quarter mile from the beach. Reviews collected across these platforms in 2026 are mixed: guests cited by these sites praised the staff and location while others raised cleanliness and maintenance concerns, a pattern consistent with the operational issues the show originally documented at the property.

No source reviewed here reported a change of ownership or a closure since the episode aired. Between the Yelp and Expedia listings, both carrying 2026 dates, the property appears to remain open and taking reservations at the North Wildwood address nearly a decade after Hotel Impossible profiled it, continuing to operate as a seasonal beach motel under substantially the same name.
