“Avoid. Especially if you have kids and don't want to have "the talk" on vacation.”

I see a review that mentions the "special frills." Not sure what exactly they saw, but this place is a dump. We stayed for 4 days to explore Atlantic City and the surrounding area. This place disappointed on so many fronts.

FIRST, we were told that we got a non-smoking room. When we walked into the room there was an ash tray sitting on the table. Seriously?? Why not just tell us it's a smoking room?

SECOND, the bed was hard, and pillows lumpy. The only thing thinner than the towels (which by the way are larger at my health club!!) was the toilet paper and the walls. We ended up buying our own TP (and I'm not a TP snob, but when it is so thin you can read through it - yep I tried - it's too thin!) We could hear EVERYTHING going on in the rooms next to and above us. Yes, everything. I was so happy we didn't have the kids with because it would have been pretty akward explaining what all those "noises" were coming from the room next door. But I do know that "dave" is pretty hot and "does it right." Yuck.

THIRD, it is right on the highway and you hear all the highway noise, including the jack braking of the trucks as they slow for a light 1/4 mile down the road.

FINALLY, for the entire time we were there, our room was NEVER CLEANED! I'll be the first to admit that I don't change my own sheets every day, so that was not a huge thing. But I also don't leave my towels on the floor with the expectation that they will be changed out. Nothing. No clean up, nothing.

I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

Room Tip: Stay somewhere else.

“Excellant place to stay”

We booked this hotel because of its special frills. When we saw the price for each room, we were a bit nervous that it may not be what we were looking for, but when we arrived, and entered the parking, we were first greeted with a friendly look of the building. We noticed the statues that adorned the perfectly manicured grounds and for fall, it was georgous. The man who checked us in was so kind and helpful. We believe he was the owner. We entered our room and found it cleaner than any other place we have ever visited. We will be staying two nights and will stay here everytime we visit Atlantic City, which is only a very short drive away. Dont be fooled by the internet pictures, this place is georgous.

Room Tip: We stayed in room 107

We got the room thru hotels.com Very clean,nicely furnished, friendly staff. Had 2 queen beds which were comfortable, large room with frig & microwave.had table & desk. It was only 10 min from Atlantic City. pool was working. Unbelievable price for room for the Jersey Shore. We would definitely stay again. There was only one concern. The smoke detector was gone. This we noticed the day we were checking out and informed staff. There was complimentary coffee & danish. We didn't like the coffee, but we do breakfast out anyway.

“nightmare from hell”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2010

My husband and I stayed there for a week,only because we had to.We go there 4xs a year for a week,and about 10xs a year for the weekend.It was a nice place at first,not anymore.The water pressure is horrible,we were asked to go to another room to take a shower and we could go back to our room.We changed rooms.They changed us from a no smoking to a smoking room and told us that they didn't have anymore no smoking rooms but they did, after I said I would call 911,from there to a no smooking room without a smoke detector that had been torn down.We had no housekeeping service the next day.The steps was snow covered,they didn't clean them until I said I would call 911,it was after 4:00 p.m. They said we have to" find" someone to clean them.Never again will we stay there.
