“Overpriced at any price”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2011

Crap motel. Owner claimed motel was booked except their "premium room", which was a dirty, cheap room with rotted bathroom walls, a dead bug on the floor, and a dirty tub which my GF wouldn't even take a shower in. Meanwhile their parking lot had the same 5 cars in it at 1 AM as it did at 9 AM, so unless their guests walked there, the owner's claim of full was a ploy to convince unwitting guests to rent their "$69 "Premium" room. And they have the nerve to offer AAA discounts, as if AAA would ever be associated with something like this motel.
Then there's the amenities. The shampoo and conditioner is in very small envelopes from a dollar store that wouldn't be enough to shampoo a bald head. And their "continental breakfast" is Tang breakfast drink and a dollar store pastry both of which you need to ask the owner for, which she needed to go to her kitchen in the back of the 6x8 office to retrieve.
I'm thinking that the value of this room even if it were New Year's Eve would be in the neighborhood of $39.

“OH MY GOSH, THE BATES HOTEL!”

After driving around Atlantic City and getting lost, it came down to this motel after frustratrion. My first mistake, i did not make reservations before hand. It did not appear bad when driving in, but then..... met the owners, bad english spoken. the room stank. was afraid to sleep in the bed, didn't know if i would catch anything. The continental brkft. was a danish wrapped in plastic brought out of the back room. Across from the motel was a sml. inlet, and it stank ,rotten fish smell. When the air-conditioner ran, it put out this musty smell. Noise from the highway and heavy drinking neighbors till 3a.m., well my best bet was to stay out of the room as much as possible. My advise- stay somewhere else.

“BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 June 2010

people found this review helpful

booked a room but tried to cancel, maybe a few hours past their cut off time. No one answers phones during the night so could not cancel before the time I called. POOR customer service. I was not coming to NJ so there was no need for the room and they would not cancel it and charged me for room I did not use. They could have cancelled but they are so hard up for cash and it seem because they have a nasty hotel from what I see the reviews. DO NOT STAY HERE. CAUTION!!!!!!

“hotels.com description is wrong”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2009

person found this review helpful

on hotels.com they said there was breakfast and wireless internet, well when we got up we asked the desk where the breakfast served and she pointed to water for tea and coffee where and how is that considered breakfast? and the wireless internet only gets reception in one spot. also it took us like 10 mins to get into our room because of a backwards lock and the card slot didnt work and the ocean didnt help either because it has a beautiful view with a lovely breeze. and it kind of stinks in the daytime. there are two peopole in this room and they gave us three pillows so it was toss up between the third one. we got a non smoking room and it has cigarette burns in the table, counters, and bath tub so of course it stank all to be damned. only good thing is it is just minutes away from the casino.

Disgusting!!!!!!! I was horrified, when I woke up and discovered the blood-engorged insects crawling BED BUGS!!! I was infested by hundreds of bed bugs during a stay there.. Awful, Place… Please oh please do not stay there. No matter how cheep the room may be... I have over 20 bites all over my body. Royal Lodge is infested with bed bugs.!!!!!!!
