“DO NOT STAY HERE”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 July 2011

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO STAY HERE! These guys run the biggest scam around. I called and asked what the price would be and they quoted me $100+tax..The next night my boyfriend and I show up after a rough trip and having very hard time finding the place- with no help from them because their accent was so heavy we had no idea what they were saying. When we finally got there they tried to charge us $150+tax.. since they didnt take our credit card info we technically didnt have a reservation so the rate could change whenever they wanted. We were so furious and annoyed after arguing with them with no success we informed them that was a really "crappy" way to run a business and left.

About ten minutes later we get a call from "a friend" of the guy from Sunset Inn who owned a place "not too far up the street" called JOURNEYS END. He told me he knew we needed a room and that he had one left- non smoking 2 queen size beds- for $139 +tax. I repeated the price twice to clarify and agreed to take it. After quite a distance traveling we arrived and checked in. As he was about to charge our card he said including the tax it came to $207 something! I told him he quoted us a price of 139. He said "no 179" like I was an idiot and didn't hear him correctly. So the guy acted like he was making this great deal for us and said 180 tax included. If it wasn't so late and I wasn't so annoyed I wouldn't have settled but knowing there were no other hotels with vacancy at this point I gave in. Exactly what he wanted. TO TOP IT ALL OFF: The room was not non-smoking. It reeked of stale cigarettes and made all of our clothes reek. And the bathroom which had a sanitized security strip on the toilet..WAS NOT CLEAN. It had old pee left on it! And the next morning before it was even check out time the cleaning guy used his card and walked right into our room!! This place was disgusting, rude and ANOTHER PLACE RUN BY SCAM ARTISTS!

after reading previous reveiws i was a little leary, but when i got there is wasn't that bad.the hotel is old on the inside it was very dated it looked like it had not been updated in about 20 years but it was very clean,the pool was open and it was very nice,the hotel staff were very plesant, the rooms were a little musty but for the price is was over all a nice place to stay i would be very happy to stay there again.

“Oh my god!”

They say you get what you pay for, well, for85$, I should have gotten alot more, the only reason I stayed was because everything else was booked up or sold out. The phones didnot work, the room smelled heavily of smoke, the ceiling fan was broken, there was noise all night long, there is no place to get a snack, or food, unless you donot mind dominoes. There are two soda machines located across the parking lot. Atleast the bed linenwas clean, and the television worked. Do yourself a favor, if you have stay here bring your own snacks, your own phone, and whatever else you may need. Or if you can, stay someplace. This was not worth the money I paid, trust me.

“Good Budget Hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 August 2004
7
people found this review helpful

This was the cheapest hotel we found in atlantic city on a saturday night. For a budget hotel it's fine. It is an $8.00 cab ride down to the boardwalk. It was raining really hard and the ceiling leaked a little bit. Other than that, it was good. We were a little surprised though that for $30.00 more we could have stayed at the Sheraton. Maybe that's the better choice for next time. That was $30.00 more for gambling though!!
