“A disaster”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

My wife and I attempted to stay at this hotel in the "honeymoon suite" for one night while attending a show in Atlantic City. When we checked in there was no power in half the room - the lights did not turn on in the back half of the room, the bathroom, and the TV would not turn on.

There was also no heat in the room, it was actually colder inside the room than it was outside.

I immediately went to the front desk and was told that we can wait in the room and he would send someone to check out why there was no heat and power. I told him that it was too cold and dark to wait in the room as it was nightfall so he offered me another room, but not another "honeymoon suite". When I expressed my displeasure he shrugged his shoulders and said nothing.

I told him that we were leaving and he told me that my credit card had already been charged and he would not be refunding the amount for the room.

The condition of the room was bad enough, but the complete lack of concern by the manager was even harder to swallow.

Stay away!

Dear Michael,

Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay at our property and we do apology with this situation.

With reference to your complain about no power in room, the front desk agent had immediately offered you the same type of room, but you did not accept it. And not given a chance to someone to look the actual problem in the room. If front desk will not fix the problem and do don’t offer the same type of room then we always gives Full refund to our each customer. But you did not given a chance to look at the problem to fix it.
The circuit barker was tripped and when the front desk went to check the room, he reset the circuit barker and everything was working fine within one minute.

Thank you again for taking the time to complete the survey.


Sincerely,

Sam
Front Desk Manager

“Best motel ever!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 November 2011 via mobile

This is by far the cleanest motel I've seen in my life! Breakfast is from 6:30-9:30 am daily. Super good value and good location. Probably the best value in absecon, nj.

“Good value,and most importantly, clean!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 November 2011

We stayed on a Saturday night for one night because our usual hotel was booked. This hotel was recommended by friends, and it was a good value. The room was a decent size and was very clean. Breakfast was available until 9:30, and included scrambled eggs, sausage, hashbrowns, make your own waffle, pastries/mini muffins, cereal, juice, and coffee/tea. We heard no noise from other guests. The only negative was that the mattress was just a bit hard, but not so bad that it interfered with getting sleep. We will definately consider staying here again. Location was also great, with shopping/food/gas nearby.

“Great deal hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 November 2011

I was only here for one night and it was everything I needed. I arrived at 11AM and they didn't mind at all to let me check in early. Room was fine, water pressure was great and the value was right on. It is about 5-10 minutes to the boardwalk and minutes away from grocery stores and gas stations.

They have a computer and printer in case you need to print a boarding pass, along with complimentary breakfast items (cereal/pastries).

Room Tip: Ask for a room on the second floor so you don't have to deal with headlights shining on your win...
